One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 64 - 64

"The Gambler is moving in an untraceable track. He is so tricky it seems." Spoke a quiet voice as he walked toward the window, his eyes looking down at what seemed a very strong base, a city full of marines. But it was so big.

Marines were walking and running around, some doing their daily experiences. There were two 20-meters tall giants holding their weapons, standing in front of the buildings as a guard, scarring any possible threat with any funny idea.

This is Enies Lobby: The known base for the World Government in this first half of the Grand Line, and the main headquarter for their operations.

Behind the man who was looking at the window, men in black were sitting and crossing their legs above another.

"You have to give him that. He managed to kill one of the weakest agents." Said a man with long pink hair.

"CP 12. Oh please, I didn't know they even exist." A fat man with green hair and a very large belly said.

Spandam, who was watching through the window, had some veins appearing on his forehead. Turning, he looked at the assassins who were sitting while relaxing.

"What's important is not that he killed two of them," Spandam shouted. "The Demon Child is back. And we know where she is and who is protecting her. This time, I have to make sure that I will be the one to catch her."

The assassins, who belongs to the CP9 unit, looked at Spandam without making any expression.

Spandam just panted a bit, as talking loudly took some of his energy.

Taking a deep breath, he continued.

"However, the Gambler isn't as weak as you may think him. He took down Commodore and a captain on his own before Robin exposes her identity as Robina. The guy is sly to deceive the World Government by hiding the demon child. If not for luck, we wouldn't even know about her existence."

"Whatever." Said a man, who had a tied black hair, tanned skin, and sunglasses on his forehead. He had a long moustache, and chin, making him look like some Kung Fu master villain in some Chinese movie.

"Sir." Stood up the fat green-haired man. "Kalifa has collected enough information in her time at Water 7. Talking to some pirates, she could collect enough info. It seems that the Gambler is chasing bounty hunters. That's why we can't predict his track with Log Pose. Seems we have to change our track."

"I see," Spandam said, almost blowing in anger at the fatty for saying that now.

However, he knew he couldn't say anything to a professional highly trained assassin.

Spandam took a deep breath and nodded. As the leader, although his temper is bad, he knows when to calm down and think about his decision.

Depending on his years of experience, he started thinking about the power level that Josh has shown, and since the latter is thinking about bounty hunters, it means that he is after their money.

Josh must be looking for a bigger fish.

"Track any information about anyone who is looking for bounty hunters. Hurry up!" Spandam made his decision.

One of the agents stood up and vanished into thin air.

Josh and his group currently were on one island which the log pointed at. He, Marianne and Mikita toured around to find some pirates or bounty hunters.

Josh has learnt something.

Because he attempted to hunt pirate hunters in the last days and steal with them, he was called secretly the Hunter of the hunters, which made him somehow smile.

"Josh. I want to buy this." Marianne begged Josh for some money, which he gave her happily.

"Don't spend it all." Josh gave her around one million Berries.

Although he spends money on the system, he has around 70 million Berries as a backup.

In the group, only Mikita knows about Josh's devil circle since Josh didn't want everyone to expect a reward each time he gets some money.

But still, the girls would ask, and he would still insist on his reply that his homeless friend sells them to him.

"Josh… I want this lemon perfume." While walking down the street, Mikita hugged his arm and grabbed him to a near shop.

Josh was only nodding. When Mikita looked at his facial expression, she could easily tell that he was focusing on something else.

She was right.

Josh was focusing on his hearing sense, trying to collect some pieces of information.

Robin had been doing the same.

Josh was keeping an ear in the direction Robin had taken early. This way, he would be the first to know if some fight has happened in her direction. Of course, it didn't allow him to hear the conversations. It was because Josh was hearing many sounds, which required him to lower the level of his senses to make everything seems like noise.

After Mikita and Marianne finished shopping, they rested and started eating in a restaurant. While Josh ordered a huge amount of food for himself, Robin entered through the door, holding a bag on her back.

"What did take you so long." Mikita turned to Robin.

"Nothing, I was just collecting some information." Robin smiled at the Blondie. She then sat next to Josh. "Also, why do you look so sleepy."

"Now you reminded me." Mikita glared at Robin. "Why the hell did you moan so loudly yesterday. You have done that when I leave you with Josh."

Robin, although she wasn't the type that blush, blushed.

Last day, Josh has used his Demonic power in a new way.

He was like an Incubus.

And it caused Robin to pass out from pleasure while screaming in sound that everyone on the ship had heard.

Robin has felt that Josh, if he used this power to the extreme, can turn her into a sex slave, and she had warned him not to use it on her too much since she felt her mind almost going blank.

Still, she didn't regret anything, since it was a really good stress relief.

"Change the topic. What did you get." Embarrassed that he couldn't control his power yesterday, Josh changed the topic.

Robin made her professional smile as the atmosphere seemed to go back to normal.

"Josh. we are hunting bounty hunters, right."

"Yes."

"I think I may have found the jackpot for you. However, there is a big risk for it. The hunters are family. They steal every pirates' flag, and they hunted many 100-200 million Berries worth pirates."

Placing his chin on his palm, elbow on the table, Josh said. "Go ahead."

Although he looked calm, Josh felt so interested. His heart was beating so loud in excitement.

"What are they."

"Accino Family," Robin said.

Since the name was familiar, Josh could recognise it. The Accino family was a strong family that gave troubles for Luffy and his group. The leader can increase his heat to an extreme degree that allows him to turn the ground into lava and swim in it.

"Accino, I see."

"You think you can defeat him?" Robin asked, doubting.

"I do," Josh said.

Josh, as he is now, without his Zoan, can lift 30 tons. It should give him power even to fight top agents from the World Government.

He had confidence that he can take out a guy who was defeated by Luffy in the first Grand line.

"Alright, listen carefully…." Robin then gave the details to them. Josh only ordered more food, preparing his healing factor for the battle.

Josh was going to a base of bounty hunters for the first time, meaning that he may get his hand on their whole life's gaining.
