One Piece: Gambling to The Top
Chapter 220

Chapter 220

After most of the Charlotte Family signed the Devil Contract, Josh had realised that most of the Charlotte family are in desperate need of therapy. Most of them have a phobia, lives in denial, and have many other syndromes. Well, it was a natural result of having Linlin as their mom. 

Other than that, they are strong, and they can be used. Now they signed the contract, Josh can take their lives with a flick of his fingers. And if they ever thought of betraying him, scheme against him, they will lose their lives immediately. 

The citizens, seeing how Josh gave everyone a chance, had started calling him 'Saint'. 

The title was quite annoying to Josh's sensitive ears. 

Josh decided to leave the scene and call Stussy. 

He had suffered a lot of 'emotional damage,' starting from marriage offers to end up becoming a saint… What the fuck is wrong with this day… it's too long. 

'As a previous fan of K-Drama. I'll say it.' 

"Aigoo~" Josh let a long sigh. 

"What's the matter," Stussy said as she turned her head, noticing how he was talking in a weird language. 

"Just a word from my previous life." 

"So, you are really a demon?" Stussy wondered. Well, she had seen how Josh ate Linlin's fruit and didn't explode into pieces. She believed that the guests that Josh is a mythical creature are true. 

"It doesn't matter… You'll replace the truth later when you fall into the water." Josh said. 

He and Stussy arrived at one empty building. It was made of chocolate biscuits. It was supposed to be a cafeteria, but it's empty, so it was a good place to talk and catch up. 

After closing the door behind them, Josh and Stussy sat across one table. 

"So, what did you have to say, to meet me so privately," Stussy said, not taking her clothes yet. She was smart enough to realise that Josh wasn't in the mood, not yet. 

Josh reached for his coat. He grabbed one piece of paper with shiny red words and placed it on the table. 

"Wanna see a magic trick?" 

"I'll play along." Stussy placed her elbow on the table, supporting her head with her chin, and let her face closer to him. 

Josh opened his palm. From nowhere, a Devil Fruit appeared. 

With one glance, Stussy recognised it. 

"Hobby Hobby Devil Fruit. One of the most destructive Devil Fruits. I heard a rumour that once it fell in the hands of the World Government, and people believed that one century, no pirate ever existed. But the truth, if there is one, every pirate turned into a doll and was forgotten." 

Stussy bit on her lips. This Devil Fruit is so scary. Its user can turn into one touch (wo)man, and that's not even the scariest part. Let's say Josh turned into a toy by its effect. Everyone he met with will forget him. Even if they have him in their diary, or in the journal, everyone will treat that memory as if it's a rumour or a legend. They will have some imaginary explaining to fill the void that he left in their minds. 

Stussy opened her eyes widely. "No way you are thinking of!" 

Josh smiled. He pinched the table, and he took a bit of the chocolate. 

"Yummy." 

"Stop it and tell me that you don't think of what I am thinking." 

"Read the contract, it's obvious," Josh said… he then closed his eyes. "Yummy. I swear, I didn't eat chocolate ever since my age was 13. I forgot how good it was." 

Stussy rolled her eyes as she held the paper. "Really?" 

"I had band acne once," Josh muttered as he took another piece of chocolate. Everything is made of it. 

Stussy didn't continue with his chit chat. She read the paper, as it may hold the destiny of the world. 

"In the price of gaining his freedom from the previous contract, Carlos has to touch every Celestial Dragon after eating Hobby-Hobby Devil Fruit. Once he does, his debt will be considered paid, and his PP —  Really Josh, his PP." Stussy faked a cough. It doesn't change the fact that what Josh has written in this Devil Contract will end up the World Government. 

The funniest thing no one will ever remember them. 

Even herself. 

"Hahahah…" Stussy put her hand next to her mouth and laughed loudly. She'll destroy the organisation that trained her into a cold agent, and then, she'll forget about their existence. The irony. 

"What?" 

"Too bad that I won't remember them. I mean. You too do hate them. If this work, you'll forget your grudge." Stussy let a sigh. "If I forget my bosses, and how much I had to act like their killing machine, will I change? Will I become another person?" 

She seemed to ask questions she would never reveal usually. 

"Now I wonder If I change." Josh let a sigh and put her hand on her cheek. "It's okay. You won't forget me." 

"I guess it's for the best," Stussy said. She then half-closed her eyes. "By the way." 

"What?" 

"There is something I want to remember," Stussy said. She crawled on the table and took the chocolate piece out of Josh's hand and threw it to the corner. 

"I wonder what that might be?" Josh leaned backwards on the chair. 

"Our night, that day." Stussy put her hands on his shoulders. She started caressing them, staring at him with her blue eyes. 

Putting his hand on her chin, Josh pulled her closer. "We had it in the middle of the day." 

"Shut up…" Stussy smashed her lips against his, and Josh put his hands behind her head. Beautiful sensations ran through their spins as their tongues danced. The weather was getting hot, and the nostalgia was strong that they started stripping each other. 

Without a warning, his chair was broken, and Stussy fell on him. But non of them cared, as they were both aroused, and Josh found himself caressing her pretty big breasts with his hands while kissing. It brought him beautiful memories back…

-x-X-x- 

A few hours later, the door of the cafeteria was opened. Stussy stepped out first, raising her skirt before adjusting her messy hair. Josh then came, adjusting his clothes and hair. 

After giving her the goodbye kiss, Stussy left with the Devil Fruit and the contract to deliver to Carlos. 

Josh was left alone, and he walked back to his girls. Although there was Stussy's scent on him, they didn't raise a fuss about it. They were more busy dealing with Linlin's crew. There had been few who rejected the offer of Josh, and the girls had taken care of them. Josh used his glove to take their spiritual powers and added them to his own. Although they weren't so strong or special, this way, he can have a slight increase. 

After that, Robin came to Josh and whispered in his ears. "They are waiting for your orders." 

Josh turned to replace that Big Mom's crew were waiting for him. He only opened his arms at them and said. "Children. For now, you can stay here, and do nothing until I notify you. Behave well, and we will get to know each other in another day. I'm quite busy now."  

They only nodded. 

Josh then turned and left to his ship with the girls. It's the only place that makes him feel safe and home — his ship. After a small talk, discussing his daily life with the girls, Josh thought about the money he gained and the reward he won. He thought that now is the right time to open it. 

Usually, the old Josh would wait until he feels lucky, or after a night of having sex. 

But the current him wanted to see the Divine rank item.. Not because he had learnt his lesson, but because he was excited to see it.
