One Piece: Gambling to The Top
Chapter 14 - 14

"Ms Valentine, now!"

Josh, who was on the boat, was currently guiding the ship he was at with Mikita. ​​

Behind them was a colossal pirate ship. Not only so, but their number is huge.

The two of them had a small boat compared to the ship of the pirate.

This gave them the advantage of being faster. If one looked carefully behind them, they would notice that many cannonballs were missing them because of the distance.

Josh can easily assume that they are more than fifty or sixty pirates, with only a few being strong.

Fighting such a number can be exhausting, that's for sure, even for Josh.

However, he had a plan. It needed, however, for them to approach the beach first.

Currently, Josh was holding Mikita with a rope tied around her waist, and she was holding two barrels, each one had the tag. "TNT."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Josh asked, wariness on his face.

"I have never been more assured, Mister 9. Kyahahaha." Mikita started laughing, entering her battle maniac mode.

Honestly, that laugh of hers scared Josh. This girl, when it comes to fights, is sadistic and fearless. If Josh let her do what she please, she may even torture the guys.

'Luckily, she isn't sadistic when it comes to bed.'

"Now, be ready." As soon as they got near the beach, Josh lifted Mikita and threw her toward the pirate ship. She flipped as she was above them now, with the barrels in her hand.

As she looked down, she laughed like she was enjoying this.

The barrels had two burning strings that would blow up a few seconds later.

The barrels fell on the ship and the pirates looked at Mikita like she was a crazy person.

Mikita, soon, increased her weight and fell down on the deck, crushing it and making it lose balance.

Mikita then made weight one kilo, allowing Josh to pull her back with ease.

As she landed on his arms, like a princess, she put her hand on Josh's cheek and approached for a kiss.

"Wow, you are so light," Josh said.

"How about a heavy kiss then."

"We have few seconds."

"Enough for me."

She leaned forward, and the two of them started kissing as Josh was lifting her.

*BOOM*

Behind them, a yellow flash appeared, followed by fire and explosive smoke rising.

The pirates were flying up, falling to the beach and the sea. Some even were missing their limbs, and most of the crew was harmed. Because of Mikita's previous action, there weren't so many lucky that could have the time to even think about jumping to the sea.

As the waves pushed their ship to the beach, Josh pulled his tongue back. *Muah*

He helped his current partner to stand up.

The rest of the destroyed remains landed on the beach with them.

"You, you bastards!"

Josh turned. As it seems, the captain, who was a man around 170 cm, with two swords, survived.

Next to him was his vice, as Josh knew that guy from his poster. The vice worth around 10 million.

"Can you be less classical," Josh said.

Why only the captain and their vice do survive. Why not the normal pirates? Well, some of them did, but they aren't in condition to fight anyway.

Mikita took her umbrella and floated up.

Meanwhile, Josh decided to take the swordsman.

The swordsman seemed to be strong and had more strength in his arm than Josh.

But, with Josh's speed, he appeared behind him after he threw a knife at the pirate's back.

By the time the swordsman parried that thrown knife, Josh appeared behind him, a dagger in his hand. Josh waved the blade on the distracted swordsman, making him fall down.

"I won't give up on my dream." The swordsman said.

"Sure, you can always dream when sleeping," Josh said. "Just don't wake up."

He then kicked the captain in the face, making him lose conciseness.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Mikita managed to defeat the guy. She was standing on him, while the man was groaning in pain.

"You can handle one ton. Great. How about 5000 kilos."

Ms, Valentine had a wide grin, which made the vice-captain feel fear.

After all, this woman was torturing him with no mercy.

Josh was staring at her. He could tell that man was dying in fear.

After the man was knocked out, probably broken to the morrow, Mikita walked next to Josh and hit him on the shoulder.

"Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?" Mikita asked him.

"According to which mental health standards." If Josh decided to act rationally in One Piece world, he would be the crazy one.

"Kyahahaha."

"Hahaha."

After a small laugh at how smooth Josh was, they picked up the boxes on the ground.

When they checked it up, they noticed that it was full of gold and berries, worth more than the pirates' worth.

"What should we do about it?" Mikita looked at Josh. "You know, let's just split it, boss can't know anything as long as we don't tell him."

Josh stared at her. She rubbed her small nose.

Josh then said. "I believe that he may have some initial knowledge. Probably someone is spying on us. How about…" Josh leaned forward and started whispering. "You know that annoying bird. Anyway, hear the plan, I'll take half of these things, using my speed, I'll sell them, while you, on the other hand, exchange the rewards with the pirates' bodies. And then, we will handle the half reward."

There was almost 35 million.

Josh would handle crocodiles only twenty million and split the rest with Mikita.

Meanwhile, half of the gold would be theirs.

Mikita took a step back and looked at Josh, who was smart enough to see the situation from angles that she couldn't see.

She smiled. Had her partner being someone else, she wouldn't even suggest that. the two of them handed the pirate to the nearest marine base and asked for a reward.

They got, this time, however, 2/3 of the reward to split with them, while the rest goes to the Baroque Works for allowing them to use their materials.

On the other hand, Josh had gotten a total of 40 million. He handed Mikita half of it. Even though she is his girlfriend now, he won't take her money.

Mikita had been happy with this and promised Josh a share if she ever achieved her dream, and of course, a reward in advance, which happened to be sex in the middle of the sea.

'Now, I have 41 million berries.'

"Josh, I made something,"

Mikita handed Josh a chocolate cake and some lemon, which he ate on their way back to the nearest Baroque Works' base.

"Thanks."

Mikita sat next to him, put her head on his thigh, and started taking a nap.

Josh started caressing her hair while looking at the sea.

He opened the system, and he put 40 million Berries for 40 Draw Points.

Meanwhile, it would be better to accumulate more Draw Points. He needed to use them on the luckiest days, before trying to mess with a Warlord.
