One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 193 - 193

Josh, using the four hours to see the future and pick up his items, could win enough items to bring his power to the next level. Josh was faster now, and his power was multiplied by 3 times. 

In his basic form, he can lift 6000 metric tons. And if he multiplied that with his Devil Transformation, then Josh is confident to say that he is very strong physically. But physical strength isn't everything. Josh had also found things to increase his agility, and especially his Haki, increasing it twice. 

Josh had enough money and time to get what he wanted. Given the fact that he can play luck now, he could know if he can get legend rank item for 3 points. 

Finally, the most thing that coasted Josh points was the Golden Orbs that can resurrect people from death. He has 7 now. Other than that, Josh got healing packs in Epic Rank. 

And everything had coasted him 18.000 points. Of course, Josh left a few things for the girls. They are strong, and they are going to bring him more money than he had spent. Josh also had the gold that he had stolen from the World Government as Jack Sparrow. 

He thought if he can sell it. But as he had lost his title as Warlord, Josh would find difficulty selling it. 

But that's when Josh had a genius idea. What if he changed his look and became a Warlord again, maybe as Jack Sparrow, or someone else. 

'I'm too old for that shit.' 

After leaving a sigh and seeing Amazon Lily island, Josh decided to ask Robin to look for information about the people who left Impel Down. With a nod, Robin created a copy of herself, and after giving her a compass, that copy had giant wings which were used to move. 

-x-X-x- 

Amazon Lily. 

Josh and his group were welcomed by the Kuja tribe and the rest of the amazons. Since Josh used to live here, the Kuja tribe were welcoming. While talking casually to some amazons, Josh could feel some jealous angry eyes on his back. When he turned his face, he could tell that all of the negative emotions he had just felt were very well hidden behind innocent-looking faces. 

Mikita made a long smile. "I guess we know why Joshy took a few months before looking for us." 

"Daddy, you won't leave me," Marianne said as she opened her hand. "Or I'll control your mind and make you not leave." 

"You can do that?" Robin, the original one, turned her head. 

Josh shook his head. "Don't make it big. I was only training. Besides, Marianne doesn't use hypnosis on me, not even to tease me." Josh said the last words sternly. 

"Why?" Marianne raised her eyebrow, not getting emotional. She didn't understand why Josh is serious about teasing. 

Josh let a long sigh. "If I went berserk, then I'll lose my mind." He had remembered his berserk mode and how he hadn't been able to stop until he died. 

Berserk constitution is great. However, if Josh lost control of his emotions, he will lose his rationality. He didn't want to imagine himself doing such a thing.

"I don't know. Since you said that, I have the urge to do it." Marianne said innocently. 

'Josh slammed his forehead with his hand. Marianne giggled.  

Josh turned. "Let's rest for tonight. Tomorrow we have a long day. I'll have to check Sonia for now." 

Josh suddenly felt his shoulder getting heavy, remembering that he will have a daughter… no doubt.  

"Ay, ay captain." 

-x-X-x- 

Josh woke up in the morning next to Sonia, hugging her belly. He had spent a good night. Looking at the sleeping amazon, Josh stared at her belly, trying to look for the baby, which seemed to be hidden. 

'Now I think of it, her belly won't get bigger, since the babe is relatively too small for her mom. Good thing the babe isn't like her mother.' Josh was a little bit sleepy until this question hit him. 'Since the baby is small, would it be pushed flying out of her pussy…' Josh shook his head.  'You know what, I won't ask questions even Oda won't answer. One of these questions is, how did Shirahoshi's mother give her daughter birth.'

After giving Sonia's belly one last kiss, Josh walked off the bed and washed. He had a small breakfast before meeting with the girls.

After a couple of hours, Robin came and joined Josh. "By the way, I've found what you have been looking for." 

"Yes?" Josh remembered. 

Robin could see and feel everything her copies feel. She was a spying centre and a spy at the same time. 

Robin then started talking about the prisoners who had escaped. Surprisingly, she could tell everyone who had escaped. The previous baroque workers did. Some pirates who had been erased from history had appeared again. Soon, she spoke about someone called World. Josh's ears perked up, and Robin said that he is a pirate from Roger's time, and he had a very rare Paramecia Devil Fruit, More More. 

Josh nodded, as that was what he had been looking for.

"Alright. I guess it's time for me to move." Josh stood up. 

"You know, you can stay, there is no haste." Hancock stretched her arms up. The only reason she is telling Josh to stay is that she knows that Josh likes to move alone. 

"I know. But the sooner, the better. By the way, what's the last place he had appeared in." 

"Some island called Parabasta. Also, be careful. Some crazy woman called Catarina had been spotted along with other strong pirates there." Robin said. "I can do you some help if we moved along." 

"You know what. Your role is more important than helping me." Josh looked at every girl in his crew. "All of you now has to strike each bank in this area. If you find a Celestial Dragon accidentally, rob them." 

Knowing their current strength, Josh believed that they can do it easily. He, as Captain Jack Sparrow, didn't use even 10% of his basic power, and he had managed to rob three banks, and he has yet to sell the gold. 

"Don't worry, I can make anyone give us the money." Marianne opened her arm. A shape made of plasma popped out. "Don't you agree, girls?" 

Everyone, even Kalifa, nodded. 

"Sure, you can do it." 

"I'll give you money if I were them." 

"You're so sweet, let me give you some…." 

The girls started blinking after a few minutes, realising that Marianne hypnotised them. Josh realised that he had already reached his pocket. 

"And you teased me despite my warning…" Josh rubbed his forehead before flicking his finger on Marianne's. 

"I couldn't resist." Marianne held her forehead in pain. 

"Now, if you allow me. I'll be moving." Josh decided not to stay any longer and vanished from the sight. 

-x-X-x- 

Parabasta island. 

Josh, who had heard that the strong pirates he had freed are here, decided to give it a walk and look for World, the one who is holding his Devil Fruit. 

Because he had freed people from Impel Down — they owe him — and since Josh had done something big last day, he decided to walk as Jack Sparrow in the town. After buying a bottle of rum, Josh decided to stop by a near bar. There was a border with bounties. Curious, he looked for his new one. It seems that the World Government had yet to give the Gambler a good bounty. On the other hand, they gave Jack Sparrow a good bounty. 

[Captain Jack Sparrow. 

500.000.000 Million Berries

Dead or Alive.]

Not so bad, he thought. While walking, Josh found that many eyes were aimed at him, and he just smiled at them before making his way to one specific location. The people didn't get in his way. It seems that they know not to mess with high bounty pirates, as some of them had passed by here. 

"Hey, Jack Sparrow." Called a feminine voice. 

"It's Captain." Sparrow let a sigh as he turned his face, before lifting it high to look at a huge middle-aged woman with very huge boobs, so huge that you can use Z cup size to describe them. 

"Two days ago you were inmate Sparrow." She smirked. 

"Inmate Captain Jack Sparrow," Sparrow corrected. "Nice to see that you escaped, Catarina." 

Josh was thinking that he had hit the jackpot. Catarina should know about the World. It would be good to get information from her. 

"How things go?" Sparrow said as he opened the rum with his teeth, before drinking it. 

"What a cheap person to drink in front of me." 

"Is it wrong?" 

"It's wrong not to share," Catarina said as she extended her hand. 

The people around started escaping, knowing how dangerous the two criminals are. 

Sparrow extended his hand. Catarina took the bottle. 

"It's empty." 

"You asked too late?" Sparrow said. 

"Tsk." Catarina clicked her tongue as she pointed with her thumb to the side. "Few guys had escaped and they are here. We are discussing making a group and venture to the New World. We can use a man with a brain like you." 

"A man with a brain like me?" Sparrow lifted his eyebrows. 

"You are the only one who could find a way to open a Sea Stone shackle across the history," Catarina said. "And I'm not trying to praise you." 

"It's okay. No need to be humble in my presence." Sparrow smiled, showing his teeth. 

"Just get in. You can get a drink," Catarina put her finger on his shoulder. "And we can get few hoes after that." 

Josh resisted the urge to flinch. But he remembered that this middle-aged woman is bi. 

At any rate, he is looking for World to get his fruit, who may be there, or someone may know about him. Josh also thought about something else. Since he had planned to go to the New World after stealing what he can and making his territory, knowing some of the cheap strong pirates can do him some help. 

"Sounds tempting." Sparrow walked to the bar, followed by Catarina. 

"I bet the hoes are what tempted you." She said. 

"Am I supposed to feel ashamed?" 

"Hahahah! You are supposed to look for your type in those hoes. But if we crossed ways, we'll share."

"I'll pass," Sparrow said, opening the door.
