One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Standing on the deck, Josh looked at Robin's back. It had been two days since they had found the information about their target — Accino Family.

Currently, Robin is using her ability to track a Marine Ship.

Earlier, in one of the near islands, Robin, using her ability to spy, could collect enough information to know that the Accino Family had captured a strong group of pirates along with their flags.

Using that information, Josh decided to use the Marines, who are going to take the pirates from the hunters as a lead to the Accino family's location.

It is hard, after all, to navigate in the Grand Line and reach a specific place without Eternal Pose.

"Five thousand. Five thousand one…"

Josh was standing in the middle of the deck. Instead of focusing on the marines, he was aiming at the sky, kicking and sending sharp pressed air blades.

Ever since he had learnt Storm Legs, Josh seemed to be endlessly developing this technique. The arcs he could make now is as big as a ship.

Not only so, but his talent allowed him to develop the technique he has further.

Stopping kicking, Josh opened his hand and waved his arm up, making a small air blade from his arm.

"Finally, mastered it," Josh muttered, looking at his arm now. Kicking a lot had taught him how to create air blades with his other members.

Robin, who was keeping a secret eye on the marines, so that they can follow them secretly, turned to Josh and smiled.

"Hard-working as usual. Can't you just rest?"

"I don't need rest, just food."

Josh stared at Robin, who was blushing.

Ever since Josh had discovered the uses of his demonic energy, Robin has been blushing so hard.

Josh had figured that he can do more with it other than using it for lust. However, he needed someone to try it on. Someone else. After all, anything related to Devils and Demons isn't always nice.

"So, Josh, when are you going to use that on me."

Mikita came next to Josh, holding a plate full of chocolate cakes. Josh took a cake, bite it, and looked at her.

"What do you mean," Josh asked, pretending ignorance.

"I mean, the thing that made Robin's hard stone face blush so hard and moans loudly," Mikita said.

"Don't you all moan loudly?" Josh turned to them.

"Yeah." Mikita turned her face, blushing. "But Ms All Sunday seemed to have more fun."

Josh only smiled and patted her head, before looking at Marianne. "Sure, I will let you try Incubus mode later."

"Incubus!" Marianne looked at Josh, blinking twice.

Incubus. It was a legendary creature of lust. Once you taste it, you will never be the same.

Feeling someone shaking, Josh turned to see Mikita giving him a crazy look while smiling.

"Why do I feel like I'm the one who's gonna sucked dry?" joked Josh.

Although Josh was talking like that to release the tension, he just couldn't help but take a step back as Mikita was biting on her lip.

"Who knows, kyahahaha…"

The marine ship has finally reached its destination. The island was big, and the water had a small layer of ice.

Not only so, but the land was covered in a white snow layer.

Clearly, this island had very cold weather.

From a far distance, one can see a shadow of a castle in the middle of the island.

Currently, a marine commander got off his ship, facing a blonde man and a blue-haired charming woman.

Behind them, there were men, almost looking like giants from their extreme height, bound by shackles. They were all smiling when they stared at the marines.

"They are thanking them." Said Josh, his eyes turning red as he was reading the lips of the marines and the pirate hunters.

"Yes, he is right." Robin had her hand on her ear and nodded.

Currently, Josh was on his ship, which was located in the corner away from the Marines reach.

They were waiting for the marines to leave as they were preparing to hunt the bounty hunter's wealth.

Marianne and Mikita brought some coats for them, before standing behind Josh. Marianne hugged his leg, while Mikita took his arm, slightly kicking the short woman to get more spots.

The weather was really cold, and Josh was the only warm person here.

Josh shook his head. He was thinking more of the wealth he needs to make more than what is warming his body. After all, this is the first time he attacks a base of a famous bounty hunting family. And, unlike Crocodile, they don't seem to pay monthly salaries for thousands of people.

Mikita giggled slightly when she noticed Josh licking his lip for a second.

"They are leaving, let's attack them."

When the marines left, Robin nodded and changed the sail. They headed to the ice island. When they got closer, the water had a slight layer of ice on the sea, which made them move slowly and break the ice.

Sailing in front of the ice beach, Josh and his group landed, staring at the white ice land. Walking forward needed them to balance themselves in order not to fall on the ice.

As Josh was walking along with the girls, he suddenly extended his hands to the left side.

The girls behind him stopped all of the sudden and stared at him.

Knowing that Josh has enhanced senses, they trusted his judgement.

Josh lifted his head and looked at the left side. Looking at the top of an ice hill.

"I know you are there. Were you expecting us?" Josh said. He heard some scratching his chin, and he knew the sound.

There was no reply. Josh let a snorting smirk. Taking a step forward, he opened his arm and chopped in the air.

This was his second technique which he developed from storm legs — storm arms.

When an air blade left his arm, a cut appeared on the hill, and few shadows emerged from there, jumping and landing in front of them.

Meanwhile, there was a blue-haired woman with blue eye makeup and huge tits. Next to her, a blonde man was holding her hand.

The group was of four people. Two of them were twins. They had a beard, short black hair, and they were muscled and huge.

"The Gambler. Seems you are good. We don't know enough about you, except that." Said a man, a blonde hairy man.

"Except what. I'm curious." Josh observed the group.

The common thing between them was that they were wearing skates that allowed them to move on glide on the ice.

"Unfortunately, you don't have a pirate flag, otherwise, we would've taken it for our collection." Said twins with one voice, smirking at them.
