One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 2 - 2

Josh sneezed when he was walking down the street of the new town he was living in.

It had been 29 days, and, Josh finally accepted the fact that he is living in One Piece world. ??

What confirmed that more was the white suits one would see the marines wearing, as they would pass by here casually to chase pirates.

In the bar that he found a job at, Josh would see wanted posters for pirates hang on the walls. Although there is no Luffy in the wanted list, there were other pirates who looked familiar to the ones in the show. Such as the red-haired pirate, Shanks.

Also, more other pirates weren't mentioned in the show.

However, what other world would you find a poster written in both English and Japanese?

Josh, now, without knowing how, can speak the language of this world easily.

There is one more detail that he should pay attention to as well. He is in the Grand Line as his starter point.

Geez, this is more dangerous than East Blue.

But, If one looked at the bright side, he is in a better place than the other half: New World.

Not to mention, this town is a part of a country. Which meant it is quite secured. Although One Piece is a water world, some islands are as big as countries from Earth.

"Alright, one more day, and we're done."

Josh muttered as he placed a group of heavy barrels on the stoke of the bar.

As someone who had come here, he had done what every man in his mind would do — find a job to eat. He didn't want to start as a pirate or a bounty hunter, yet, since he isn't as strong as it would need to be.

And he wasn't a person who like to risk too much.

And, tomorrow would be his payment day.

"Rana, I will be leaving."

Josh said to one brown-haired blue-eyed woman, who was surprisingly tall for a woman — not in this world anyway.

She turned to him after pouring a drink for someone. "Did you finish transferring the barrels?"

"Yes. All of them, there." Replied Josh, eyeing her curves and hips, and finally, her boobs.

See. Something was special about one piece world. 99% of the women are extremely curvy, have big boobs, and of course, their heights are long. Still, not extreme as some guys around. it wasn't an unusual sight to see pirates and marines who is beyond three meters, full of muscles. But the funny thing is, normal people would be sometimes way stronger than them.

"Come to drink when you get your first payment," she gave him a wink.

Josh just smirked and winked back.

Although he was a fan of One Piece and he may have eyes for main female characters, Josh doesn't have the taste of a child to ignore the side characters that are so hot.

He is an adult after all.

"Hm. Kids are growing fast, aren't they."

"Some parts grow faster, harder, than the others," Josh said, meaning something else.

"Fufufu."

After a laugh, Lana, his boss, turned to serve the others. Josh shook his head and then he left the bar.

His strength now has been helpful to find a job.

But it wasn't so impressive in this Grand Line.

'At this rate, with my salary and monthly points, I will be staying here forever.'

Josh, to achieve his dreams, would have to wait for too long if he wanted to play it safe.

Though, he didn't mind waiting for long if he ended up having sex with his boss before leaving. Even though she was quite taller, who cares.

Tomorrow he will get 60.000 Berries, and 2 Draw Points.

"They say transmigrate and live happy life, women and money all throw themselves to you" Josh murmured as he was making his way back home. "My ass."

He went then to a cheap motel where he had been resting for the last twenty days.

In his room, which was small, there was his training equipment.

Big boxes with dimensions of 1 meter. They weren't completely full.

One meter cubic of water weighs one ton.

Josh, who can't afford real training equipment, found that the best way was to fill these boxes with enough water from the sea.

Each was around 300-500 kilos.

Josh held the heaviest one, put it above his head, and started squatting repeatedly.

One must know that this One Piece world.

The bodies of humans here are different from the humans on Earth.

Here, people don't have physical limits. Only limits when it comes to willpower.

After all, anyone who had seen One Piece would know how Coby could become a great marine in a couple of months of training.

Josh, here, had been training his bodies' muscles all this month.

He must say, he was surprised by the growth process.

However, if there is something that hinders his growth, it would be the food he is taking.

He had heard that eating Sea Monster's meat would be good for physical growth. However, he can't just afford that.

He could only afford vegetables and some cheap meat, so his physical body didn't grow too much.

After finishing a set of training, he was full of sweat.

Josh made his way to a near mountain, took a bath in a hot stream, before going back to the motel and resting.

'And no task appeared.'

When he went back to his bed, he looked at his system, the task generator, and clicked his tongue.

"Well. Happy to get through this day alive." He yawned, thinking that he has done enough.

…

The next day, he opened his eyes and woke up early for his job. After finishing, Lana had paid him his monthly salary.

Josh missed his days as an intern since he had been living in better conditions now and had better payment.

"Don't spend it all, kiddo," Lana said as she grabbed his cheek.

Josh, who had been focusing on her boobs, didn't move his eyes.

One Piece.

This world was both hell and paradise.

Pirates and marines hell. Big boobs & curvy women's lover's paradise.

He liked the last part. But hated the first one.

"You like what you see," Lana whispered, seeing her worker looking at her boobs.

"Mmm…" Josh didn't deny it. For the god sake, every girl in the street has large ones.

Lana patted his head. Although he isn't as large as pirates who come here, he was quite strong for his size.

Probably it would be fun.

"Fine, Night break, meet me at my room."

One Piece world was quite different. Bars are most busy in the morning than at night. As it seems, pirates would drink in the morning on islands, however, they will take alcohol with them to drink in their ships.

The bars here work in the morning.

She turned and walked away. Josh focused on her swaying hips. This just served just as motivation to reach his dreams.

Suddenly, while having a boner, he heard a notification.

[+2 Draw points] notified the system.

Josh snapped back and turned, leaving with his salary while looking for someplace to think carefully.

He ended up choosing a street food stall, which served meat.

One always need good proteins after working out with a half-ton.

After ordering some food made of the mean of giant fishes, Josh started chewing while opening his system.

He was thinking if there is a task that helps him to gain more points. After all, he can't just stay here forever.

He needed to move.

At least, find a roof to protect him, to guide him and nurture him until he gets enough strength.

While thinking so, he ended up hearing something on the street.

"Did you know man, Baroque work is looking for workers?"

"Oh come on. Their test is harsh, and their agents are bounty hunters. Stop being silly."

"For real. They pay so well. I heard there are many pretty women within their lines."

Josh felt there maybe for him.

Baroque Works?

Isn't that the name of the agency which Crocodile is leading secretly?

[Ding, Task generator has a new gamble for you. Do you accept?]

Swallowing his food, Josh noticed the notification and almost choked.

"Water please." He raised his hand.

An old man who owns the stall gave him a cup of water, and Josh drank it in one go.

'Let me see the details.'

Although it is obvious that the task was generated according to the situation, one always need to see it to its most little details. As a previous lawyer, one must read the contract carefully to the most little words. Things like that are essential.
