Josh flew to the sky and just pierced the clouds. Hancock quickly held her breath and hugged Josh with more strength as they got in the cloud. The inside of the clouds felt like water, and Josh, who had been flying, was now swimming in the water. Kalifa didn't seem to struggle a bit as she looked around these new wet clouds. 

Josh decided to stop and looked around, same for the girls. 

'This is the white sea,' Josh felt it should be called this name since the people in Sky Island have a sea made of clouds. 

Once he let Hancock and Kalifa, the girls moved their legs to keep their level. It was like swimming in the water. It was easy for Kalifa, but for Hancock, who was a Devil Fruit user since she was young, it was hard. Josh helped guide her as she was holding her breath to swim. Since she has Angel Tear, the sea won't just drag her down. 

They then started observing the surrounding. There were many creatures, small fishes and big sea creatures here. There were also creatures that weren't recorded to be seen in the blue seas down. However, in the Grand Line, you just don't know about every creature under the surface of the water. 

Hancock quickly turned her body and kicked what seemed to be 20 meters large shark, sending it flying up. Josh pointed with his hand to them as they swam up. 

"Ha… Ha…" Hancock's head was the first one to get out.  "Swimming feels so refreshing! My clothes now are wet. Great. Josh likes them like this. Joshy, come up and join me!" She had a flush on her cheeks as she made a smile and two little fists. 

Soon, Josh's head — human form — got out of the water cloud, followed by the blond Kalifa.

Kicking bellow her, Kalifa got out of the water cloud. Using Moonwalk, she stood up in the air and examined around. Josh did the same and offered a hand toward Hancock, who put her hand under his chin. Hancock quickly kicked bellow her, and she flew too high. Once she fell, Josh held her. 

"You know, you should practise this movement before you do it." 

"My bad, I see." 

Hancock had a slight blush when she realised that Josh was carrying her in princess style with his hand on her knees and back. She buried her head on his chest and asked. 

"This sea is really weird. How did you know that there would be an island above the clouds, which are the sea?" 

Answering that question, Kalifa was the first to talk. "The World Government and the Navy has secret info about many countries above the sky. This one, I think we have yet to register it…" Kalifa stared around. "Still, there are many clouds like this one and more islands… I believe there had been a report about one Sky Island being completely destroyed… we don't know why, but we think it may have been a bizarre lightning storm." 

Kalifa reported with a professional tone. 

"You'll make a good secretary," Josh commented as he closed his eyes. 

Kalifa hid her smirk as she turned her face, faking a blush.

Hancock gave his chest a small bite to catch his attention and said. "Try me, I can be a cuter one."  

Josh let one sigh before focusing on his Observation Haki. Since he is a Demon, he has strong senses given his nature. Having combined his strong hearing sense with Observation Haki, Josh's range was getting wider and wider. During the last days he spent watching his girl's movements around the two, his detecting skills have got a leap. 

"Found an island, with a life and all…" Josh, still carrying Hancock, turned his body and pointed there. "Kalifa, follow me." 

"Yes, sir." Kalifa nodded. 

The two of them then turned into a blur, combining Moonwalk and Shave. Josh was still faster in his human form, and Kalifa was doing her best to catch up, despite still being a vampire. 

Josh and the girls soon arrived at one beach made of clouds. In front of him, there was an island, a big one, which had stairs going up. There were many houses as well. 

Josh and the girls landed on their feet. Hancock jumped slightly as she took off her heels and commented. "Wow, this cloud isn't wet, and it's smooth." Hancock jumped up and down, making her huge breasts bounce. Josh was taken by them for a moment, admiring how beautiful they were. Hancock was innocent and unaware of the effect that her curiosity led to. 

Josh turned his head, to see Kalifa was doing the same thing. 

Having enough lust accumulated in him, Josh found that he has no choice but to use the demonic energy to devour the lust within him. He can't just walk around with a tent, and Josh was sure that if anyone was here, they would be frozen from the sight. 

"Let's swim," Hancock said, excited to head toward the beach again. She was a woman who always wanted to swim. Since Josh is here, she wanted to enjoy her time. 

"Not now," Josh said. "Our goal is simple. After accomplishing it, we will swim and do all we care about." 

Hancock only smiled, bent over, and kissed him on the lips. "Thanks. I knew you would say yes." 

Josh didn't bother to correct her, and he focused his Haki on somewhere else. 

Kalifa, who was less innocent than Hancock, who would act naive when being with Josh, knew how to ask the right question. 

"You are looking, for him, or her?" 

"He realised that we are here," muttered Josh, half closing his eyes as he looked in one direction. 

"What's the matter, Master." 

"Let's say, I'm heading against someone who has an Admiral level Logia devil Fruit, and he only has Observation Haki… and the speed of lighting."

"Easy, try catching him off guard," Kalifa suggested. 

"I'll see." Josh had a smirk. "I'm excited. It has been a long time since my blood thrilled like that." Josh was thinking about how many volts is there in lightning, and if the lightning stroke continuously on him, his temperature would exceed the magma's. 

Josh had realised one fact a long time ago. 

Plot Armour doesn't exist in the world he is living in. 

He had realised that when he had tasted full explosion from Gem, and Josh would have died if not for his strong physic and fast movement. 

In the Anime, Gem's explosions were enough to take down a giant and damage him; but his strongest techniques could do nothing to Usopp despite taking down stronger opponents. 

If a rematch happened in this world, Usopp would blow into limbs. And if he took a 4 tons hammer to his face, he would really die. 

Josh realised that such a thing would work on 2d characters. Looking at his hands, Josh clenched them into fists, feeling the bones and the flesh. 

'Don't underestimate your opponents.'

'But I won't underestimate myself.' Josh had a smirk on his face.

"Don't worry, Joshy. If anyone else tried to circle your blood, I'll deal with them." Hancock clenched her feminine hands; somehow, Josh believed her. 

"Please, don't interfere…" Josh said.

"Only when I see it necessary." Hancock wrapped her arm around him and hugged him as she stood on his side. "Besides, I want to watch you… it makes me feel so good." Hancock had hearts on her eyes imagining seeing Josh playing with her foes. Josh had a doubt that it seems like cute casual school fights in her eyes. 

"Whatever, we have guests, and they seem to be sent from a self-proclaimed god."

"A god?" Kalifa chuckled. 

"Hahaha... I see the irony." Hancock laughed a bit. "Josh is a Devil, let me guess. there will be guys with wings..."  

"You have yet to see the irony." Josh turned his head in the sea's direction. He saw a couple of machines gliding on the sea. 

Hancock took a step forward and put her hand above her eyes, trying to look for what it is. 

"This, it looks fun. I want it." Hancock said. 

"Water Motorcycles…" Josh, all of the sudden, changed his facial expression. 

There were some guys heading toward them with hostile intent. However, Josh was looking at the gears. Any man from Earth loves gears… 

"To those who came to Sky Island without paying the entree fee…" came a loud sound as the riders came to the beach. All of them were wearing white uniforms.. And they stared at the three of them with intent to attack.
