One Piece: Gambling to The Top
Chapter 55 - 55

After drawing from the system 30 times, using 10 Draw Points each time, Josh finally got his objective.

The Angel Tears.

An epic tier item that allows him to cancel his Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Other than that, Josh got few good items — no legend rank ones yet.

In total, it raised his stamina again, which now allows him to fight for three days and three nights without getting tired. Same for sex and other staff.

Other than that, Josh got some increment in his talent, raising it from 500% to 600%, which should allow him to pick up new tricks.

And, without forgetting, the classical buffing consumable items.

Josh, with them, managed to increase his lifting strength by 20 tons.

Yes, 20 tons. That's crazy compared to his strength yesterday.

His agility was increased by 40%.

(He just have gotten a huge boost)

Stretching his arms out, Josh didn't feel that it was a waste. That left him with 203 points.

Since he is targeted by a bounty on his head, Josh has to seek strength for himself. Also, for the women whom he sleeps on the bed next to him.

Standing up, Josh gently smiled as he looked at Mikita, who was refusing to let him go even though she was sleeping. Gently bending down and kissing her on the cheek, he turned to Robin and Marianne and did the same, before walking on his toes to the roof.

Josh had made his decision already. After resting a bit on this island, Josh would be moving to the Grand Line, New World, and seek strength and protection for himself and his people. Now, all he has to do is to increase his strength and eat the Devil Fruit he has.

Standing on the roof of the hotel, Josh looked at the big sea, the big moon shining over it. Looking at his storage, he picked up a certain three items.

[ Devil Blood(Epic)]

(increases the Devil Fruit abilities by 50%)

[+ Mystical Zoan Devil Fruit: Demon-Demon, module: Ancient demon. (Legend)]

[Angel Tears]

(takes off the weaknesses of Devil Fruit)

The last item was what Josh needed. The Tears of the Angel had allowed Mikita to have her ability to swim again. That's why Josh needed it for himself again, and luckily, he got it.

With the Devil Blood he had been saving, Josh now can also increase his Devil Fruit power and potentials.

Taking things in order, Josh opened his mouth and ate his Devil Fruit.

Although he felt the urge to vomit and his face turned green, that it made him kneel, he persisted and took a deep breath.

Picking up the red potion bottle, Josh drank the Devil Blood droplet, followed by the white bottle that contained the Angel Tears.

"Agh… this is shit…At least the tears taste good."

Struggling to breathe, Josh tried his best to regain his face colour. He admits it. It's not easy. The mixed tastes made him feel dizzy.

After about ten minutes, Josh stood up to his feet and stared down.

"Where is the mystical transformation."

Just when he thought about transforming, Josh felt his body morphing.

Red Scales covered him from head to toe.

His teeth turned into fangs. His eyes turned completely red, and two long white horns grew out of his head.

His skin colour changed to mixed grey-red, and his height increased to 2 meters.

Noticing the change as he looked at his hands, Josh muttered. "I won't have to stand on my toes when banging Robin standing… Ahem."

Coughing and blaming himself to think about that, Josh shook his head.

As it seems, he was standing on two feet, which should mean that he is in a hybrid form of Zoan Devil Fruit.

There should be a complete form, and he knew that just like any One Piece fan would.

However, the Devils walk on two feet.

Josh tried to look for a full transformation, but he couldn't achieve it just by thinking, since he has no clear image.

Maybe he can in the future after getting used to the fruit.

Knowing that Zoan transformations aren't limited, Josh believed that he should access more forms in future, just like Chopper. It only requires training.

"Now, how is this going to help me."

Opening his palm, Josh felt fire dancing there. However, it wasn't fire.

It was warm, but it was like some kind of energy. Like an aura.

Alright, that's an ability of the Demon he has — Demonic energy. Probably it can enhance his strength or let him use magic. He just decided to call it Demonic Energy for now.

Now, Josh decided to test what advantages this form has.

Squatting, Josh jumped up high and found that he reached 40 meters in the air, something that drew surprise on his Demon like face.

Landing safely on the ground, Josh exercised Shave, and he blurred, appearing 300 meters away.

Calculating the distance and time, Josh stared back at his original spot.

If his assumption is correct, his speed has increased by 2 or 3 times. Not only so, but he could see everything clear while moving. It was like his senses have increased.

Using his super-speed movement technique, Josh appeared on the top of the hotel again.

"So, it increases my power, speed, and give me the ability to produce energy."

Trying to relax his muscles, Josh was turned back to his human form.

He swept his forehead and stared at the sky. He is now thinking about his life and his women. Knowing that he is the man of the ship now, he couldn't sleep yet, and the healing factor he has allows him to have less rest.

"Alright. One trains. And then, see how things should go for him."

Thinking back about his battle with Cp 11, Josh started recalling it. To his luck, CP 11 weren't CP9.

However, they mastered most of the Six Powers.

Josh recalled two moves.

Storm legs, which allows one to send sharp blades from one's leg, and Moon Walk, which allows the person to walk in the air.

Remembering the exact posture of Moon Walk that the big agent had made, Josh tried to make the exact same movement.

At first, he could only jump high and kick down.

It didn't work at first.

But after trying many times, Josh felt that he kicked the air below him, gaining himself momentum to push his body up as he heard a small bomb beneath his foot.

That's when his talent kicked in, and Josh could do it again as he jumped, with more ease.

A few hours later, as the sun was raising, Josh was staring in front of him with a smirk on his face, his legs constantly kicking the air below him, and he was flying.

"This is great!" he muttered with a happy expression on his face before he decided to land down next to the hotel.

The girls got out of the hotel as they had woke up early. Seeing that Josh was smiling, Mikita asked. "You seem to have a good dream."

"Who knows…" Josh said as he swept his forehead.

Marianne quickly ran forward with a towel in her hand. When she stood up in front of Josh, she used her toes to stand up and rub the sweat out of his forehead without saying any word.
