One Piece: Gambling to The Top
Chapter 4 - 4

—— Flashback ——

Josh, after getting his monthly Draw Points, decided to draw. ​​

Although one point each time didn't have high chances to even get one thing with Good rank, he still has chances.

Even Legend shouldn't be able out of reach if he played his cards right.

That's how probabilities works… right?

He doesn't have a choice.

He had already gambled with his life to enter the Baroque work.

Moreover, the test's location was near. That what he had known after getting some information from that one person who had been spreading the rumours.

Drawing twice, Josh slammed his face with his palm.

[+ Hair Keratin (applicable, Average)]

It can smoothen the hair and make his spiky hair prettier.

'Right, so lucky.' He thought about that as he rolled his eyes.

[+ Banana (Common)]

— End Flash-Back.

Josh stood up in the middle of the small island, looking at the people in front of him.

'Maybe yesterday wasn't my lucky day. I'll avoid drawing on Fridays.'

He thought as he looked at the people around him. Just a few minutes more and a battle royal will happen.

In this part of the world, Grand Line, people are really strong.

'Why is he huge.'

Josh looked around the people, to see that one of them was 4 meters big ugly looking man.

Geez.

'Don't lose confidence. If Nami could beat the highest trained agents, I can beat those scums.' He said those words to encourage himself.

'And why is she so fat. Geez. If she sits on me I will die.'

Josh assured himself that size doesn't matter.

That hot blonde girl was the same size category, and she was full of confidence. She was treating this like a vacation. Well, she is a Devil Fruit user after all.

'I don't have any Devil Fruit power. Calm down, look as much as tough as you can. You don't want to be the first prey.'

Josh's heart started pounding faster. However, his face was so calm. After training with high weights every day, his body is stronger than before.

Taking advantage that people's bodies in One Piece are special, he had trained himself with the weights each day, especially his legs. He can train two hours with them while having a water box that weights 500 kilos.

But still. That power level isn't something big in One Piece. Even a commander in Navy is stronger than him.

'I need to use my brain as well.'

"Begin." After this word was said by Mister Five, who will in the future become Mister Three, everyone started moving.

Josh found a bulky man coming in his direction.

Reacting out of his instinct, Josh slid to the side as he kicked the ground. His strong leg, somehow, gave him a speed advantage.

Clenching his fist, he punched the man on the crotch, making him fall.

However, before he could even enjoy the victory, someone hit him on the back with a metal bat, sending him rolling on the ground before Josh could stand up.

Josh, feeling pain in his back, stood up. Because of the training, somehow, he managed to endure the hit, and he looked at the person who hit him.

He dashed.

In front of him, the biggest guy appeared, as if waiting for Josh to make a move.

Josh paused all of the sudden and lifted his head until his neck started hurting.

"Ready to die, little man."

"I think… you know what?"

Josh looked above him. The hot Blondie was opening her umbrella, floating above the man with a wide smirk, showing all of her teeth.

Josh could see her panties, and her full pale thighs making a very alluring shape.

"What," the bulky man asked as he lifted his eyebrows.

"Never mind." Josh didn't warn him.

From above, Mikita's smile grew wider, exposing all her white teeth.

The gravity started pulling her down faster and faster.

"Then, prepare to die." He said as he lifted both his hands, joining them and making an axe.

"Ten thousand kilo."

Mikita declared as she appeared above his head.

The man, who was hit by her, sank deeply on the ground.

After taking a step back, Josh saw an ugly sight of how a person's back was twisted and broken.

The man wouldn't walk again.

Mikita stood upon his body, looked at Josh, and smiled.

"Behind you." She said as if enjoying the battle.

Josh noticed the shadow that appeared behind him. Someone was about to hit him

Squatting, he pushed himself with his legs to the side. Josh could dodge the man, taking advantage of his faster body.

Lifting a large rock that was next to his feet, Josh jumped two meters meter in the air and slammed the rock, crushing it on the skull of his attacker, and making him fall.

Josh didn't let him stand up, so he would not get his ass kicked.

'What's happening to me!'

Josh felt that he lost control of himself.

He started kicking the fallen man in the face with no mercy. Even though he knew that he may cripple him, he didn't stop.

Josh, who had been afraid even to enter a fight, was showing a cruel side of himself in this.

Mikita just floated up, and vanished, reaching very high in the sky.

The battle continued.

Josh was moving based on instinct. He hit people, and of course, he gets hit by them.

He can't just see behind him, after all.

But even if he was covered by blood, he kept fighting. Soon, he realised that he wasn't thinking straight. He would lose this way if he continued fighting back.

Josh thought for a brief.

Mister Five had said that they can use any means, weapons, and tricks.

Taking advantage of the could of dust that rose from the ground, Josh lied on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.

Soon, the battle continued and people were taking down each other. Josh was looking at them with a very small slit his eyelids made.

The reason he is laying down on the ground, simply, that, since most of the guys were taken out, only the tough ones were left.

And, since he is armless, he didn't want to mess with those who were holding dangerous-looking weapons.

It's best to hide and strike last. And his strategy worked.

Soon, most of the people were eliminated. Mikita, for sure, was the MVP. After all, the devil fruit that allows her to control her weight gave her an advantage.

'I'm lucky she didn't sit on me. Hot women who are crazy are dangerous. Law school facts.'

Soon, as the time was about to end, Josh opened his eyes slowly. The people, who were the last ten, were waiting for Mister Five to announce the winner.

However, Mister Five now was still observing. Sneaking slowly, Josh held a large rock. For now, he was behind Mikita, but he didn't feel like hitting her.

She just stared at him, as he was looking for the weakest looking out of the last ten.

He saw a fat bulky woman who was more than two meters, wearing a helmet.

She seemed tired, and not a fit person, still, her arms muscles were huge.

Holding a rock that should weigh two hundred kilos, Josh jumped and slammed it on the back of her head. The rock was broken to shreds.

The others looked at Josh with wide-opened eyes.

The woman, who fell, turned and shot him a glare.

"You! You will pay for this."

Josh felt his heart skipped a beat. At first, he was afraid of killing her. Now, she is continuous after crushing the rock on her back.

One can't just judge the power of a character based on their look and size.

'Geez, these people are scary.'

She shook her eyes and was about to stand up.

Josh, for sure, thought that he has to do something quickly, or he may fight someone who is so troublesome.

As he was about to move but she held his leg.

"Let me away, you fat bitch."

Josh mind was working fast, as he was struggling to move his leg.

"I'm a bitch, you son of the bitch." She squeezed on his leg, and Josh felt it was hurt.

'Damn it, why did you only give me a banana and keratin.'

Josh didn't know what to do.

He called his system's storage, summoned the banana and lifted it.

The woman was yelling as she was about to squeeze on his leg.

"Take this!"

Josh held the banana like a dagger and stabbed it in her mouth.

"Argh…"

Her face started to get blue.

Sounds of gags reflexes could be heard as Josh pushed the banana deeper into her throat.

Soon, she lost consciousness and fell.

"Learn deep-throating first before holding my legs."

Sneering at her, Josh took the banana back from her throat, opened it, and started eating it, trying to look tough by eating his weapon.

"Smart one." Mister five came, his hand clapping.

He eyed Josh.

Josh was a person who won in the last fight with a banana, choking his opponent to defeat.

People around stared at him in awe, and some even clapped. Mikita was just laughing like she heard the funniest joke.

"Kyahahaha. Deep-throating… it's so funny."

Josh just turned his face, as if embarrassed by the words he just said.

[Ding, you won the gamble.

Rewards are transferred to the storage ]

Upon hearing the notification, Josh raised his eyebrows.

He didn't open the system while he was in the middle of Baroque Works' testing field.

"… Now, guys, you are welcomed to join us as officers. Allow me to transfer you to some other place, where you can't see. Please, don't resist."

The man said as his hair lit up with fire.

Josh, all of the sudden, felt shadows sneaking behind him.

They started putting bags on their heads, black ones, which made them unable to see.

Guided by the guys while blindfolded, Josh started to think that it is a bad idea.

He knows nothing where he is going. And he is with Baroque Works.
