One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 197 – 197

"Let me take a look." Josh put his hand under his chin as he looked at the window. 

He was staring at the gigantic snake, which had been swimming along with his submarine. 

Josh had reunited with his girls after he took More More fruit and they made a big economical strike. 

"All of the gold is inside of Bitch." Kalifa, who was behind Josh like the rest, said. 

"Hmm…." Josh raised his eyebrows. "So, how much you gained… without the gold." 

"30 Billion Berries…" 

"Robin, I can read thoughts." Josh raised his eyebrows. He turned, and his face made an expression to say how hurt he was. Of course, it was just acting. 

Blushing, Robin shrugged her shoulder. "You caught me. I left 2 billion for our expenses. We steal a lot of money, yet we live a very humble life." 

"Excuse me." Josh blinked twice as if he was offended. "If someone is living as the poor it would be me. I always leave a big sum and you girls spend it shopping." 

Mikita crossed her arms. "Whenever we shop, you only buy tea or coffee… you barely leave something for yourself…"

"So." 

"Your expenses are so little…" Mikita sighed. "By the way, I bought you a few sets of clothes."

"True." Josh sat down. "I only love food." 

He was a man who is greedy for power. His joy is when he wins. Three things entertain him. Whenever he plays the lottery and get something good. Whenever he has sex, and when he wins a tough battle. 

"By the way. How much gold do we have." 

"What almost worth 25 Billion," Robin said. "I kept few jewels…" 

"I didn't complain," Josh said. "Okay. Now, do we have enough supplies?"

"Yes," Kalifa said. 

Everyone knows their direction now. Josh had made his decision when he came back, and he believed that the sooner, the better. 

"Can't believe it. After all of our plans to live in Saboady, we are moving to New World." Marianne said walking to the window and looking at the fishs. 

"New World." Kalifa let a sigh. "Guess we'll visit the Fishman then. Master. Do you like mermaids." 

"Nah." Josh shook his head as he felt every eye on him. "They don't have legs." 

"They can," Kalifa said. "When they reach 30, they can use them to walk."

Josh's ears perked. He turned his head, curious, and asked. 

"And before 30?" 

"They can't use them to walk," Kalifa said. "Master. You really like them." 

"If you excuse me, I have to communicate with the Devil. He needs me. Robin, grab me the money." Josh said with a straight face. 

He reached his pocket and threw the Eternal Compass to Robin. "Just think about Saboady or Fishman island, and we'll be there. Meanwhile, don't bother me, please." 

Josh closed his eyes and opened the system. 

The trip continued with Robin guiding the ship. 

Meanwhile, Josh was seeing the future, trying to get a few Epic Items for himself. 

Since he had gotten a new Devil Fruit, he gained its curse with himself. 

Josh needed 2 Devil Blood drops and 1 Angel Tears. He gained them in packages. 

As for the rest of the money, Josh decided to play with it when he reaches Fishman island. At that place, he should have sold the gold. 

Since he is going to have 30.000 points, Josh found it necessary to find a good space of time. With the future vision, Josh believed it would take a full day to make full use of that money. 

-x-X-x- 

"Wake up… wake up."

Josh found himself sitting up as he woke up in a warm bed. 

"What's happened?" He asked. The last thing he remembered was him playing with the system, with the future vision, and trying to see if he can get good deals for a cheap price. 

Josh had been thinking about other things as well, and he fell asleep on his seat without realising.

It's easy for a fighter to sleep when he feels that he is in a safe environment without realisation.  

Now, he is on the bed. 

Turning his head, he found Hancock lying down next to him, chewing gum. "You were asleep so I carried you here." 

"Thanks, I guess." Josh yawned. "Why did you wake me up? Life was good." 

Kalifa walked toward Josh with a cup in her hand. "We're a few kilometres away from the Fishman island." 

"Oh, already there." Josh raised his arms and stood up, taking the cup from Kalifa's hand and sipping. 

"Daddy, let's swim," Marianne said as she appeared next to him, holding his hand. 

"Oh, I want that too." Hancock seemed to feel competition as she held his other arm. 

"I don't want to get wet now." 

Josh ignored their hands and took another sip. Looking over the window, he could see mountain-sized shadows. Tens of sea kings were moving. Not only them but there were a few Sea Monsters. 

Josh could see that Bitch, the giant snake, was trying to move unnoticed by the sea king. Josh just chuckled and said. "Let's just pack our things, buy a few candies, and move." 

Remembering that this area doesn't belong to the World Government nor the marine made Josh feel at ease. 

He felt it was the perfect atmosphere for a vacation. 

-x-X-x- 

Meanwhile, in the holy land where the Celestial Dragons live. Saint Carlos was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by his harem. 

Saint Carlos had lost several pounds since the day he had met Josh. 

Today, the weight loss rate was increasing. All because of the last news he got. The gambler killed an Admiral. And what these stupid marines did, they chased him off. 

Now, Saint Carlos would have been happy if Josh died. Nothing will make him happier than ending that curse.  

But no, the stupid marine chased him off. Carlos hadn't been able to pay Josh the current month. 

The girls in the room were looking at Carlos, who held a ruler in his hand. 

The girl who slept with him could tell something was off, and Carlos proved it as he put the ruler next to his penis. 

Yes. It was 2 inches shorter. 

"NOOOOO!" Carlos yelled, tears falling from his eyes. 

At this rate, he will lose his whole pp in the next five months. 

Although it was a pleasant experience that he managed to get more of his D inside of his woman, Carlos didn't want to live without pp in the long term. 

Carlos is a man without a goal in life. If he loses his sole dopamine source, he'll be desperate. 

What's worse. Because of the contract, Carlos can't tell the Celestial Dragons, or even hint to them, about what Josh had done. Otherwise, Carlos will die, and he doesn't want that to happen. 

"Contact CP0 Stussy right now!" Carlos felt that he lost a few pounds just now. 

One of his wives nodded and left. 

"That Josh…" Carlos muttered as he closed his eyes. If there is a way to free him from the contract, Carlos will surely use it. 

-x-X-x-

Down the sea. Under the wall that separate the world in two, Josh looked at the shadow of a big land, surrounded by a very huge bubble. 

There were two bubbles in fact. A very big one, which seemed to be Fishman island. On its top, there was another bubble, and it was containing a palace. 

Hancock, who was quite curious, asked where they should go. The others seemed to wait for an answer. 

Sometimes, Josh seems to know more than them about strange places. Just like Sky Island. 

"The bigger one," Josh said, his hands behind his back. "Once we enter, we'll get supplies, and move on… You know what, let's just take a day off here." 

After saying that, the submarine moved. There were other pirate ships surrounded in bubbles here. Josh stayed behind them, and he felt sore in his heart. Had he still kept his title as a Warlord, these pirates would have turned into money. 

But being a free criminal again seemed to have more benefits for himself. 

Just as Josh was about to pass through the bubble, he noticed a group of humanoid creatures standing in his way. They all averaged from 2.5 meters to 3 meters long, and they were holding spears and weapons. 

"Fishman," Josh muttered as he looked at the new specimen. "Interesting." 

"Josh, they are attacking us." Said Mikita. 

"We have Robin," Josh said. "Or you know what, leave them. I want to try something new." 

The fishmen were having swords and spears. Given the strength of the people in One Piece, taking a ship down is easy. Even if they are so weak relatively. 

"What do you have in your head?" Robin asked as a few copies of hers appeared next to the fishmen, locking on their neck. 

Josh smirked as he put his hand on the ship. "More More: speed, 100 times." 

The ship vanished from sight and entered the bubble, leaving emptiness behind it. 

When he turned his head, Josh noticed that the girls were struggling to keep their balances. He smirked at them and took his hand back.

"Wait. How did you!!!" Mikita asked.

The others looked at Josh as if they discovered something new about him. 

"I have the power to eat two more Devil Fruits. Anyway… why do I see the sunlight here?" Josh looked curious when he saw light filling his sight as they entered the fishmen island. 

"You can eat another Devil Fruit!!!" Robin was quite shocked. 

"No way!" Kalifa screamed. "We've tried that for 800 years. Different types, different people, different races. But all was useless." 

Josh new ability seemed to shock them. 

He shrugged his shoulder and said. "Life with me isn't boring, Let's move now." 

The submarine then moved to the surface, before turning into a silver ship with horns.  

Josh got off it, finding that they were on the top of the water, and he could breathe. 

He turned his head and he got a good look at the island. Next to him, there was a big sign. [This island is under the protection of Whitebeard] 

"The White Moustache owe me big, now I remember." Josh shook his head. "Let's see if we can exchange gold here and move on."
