One Piece: Gambling To The Top - Chapter 196

Josh blinked twice as he looked at the newspaper.

He ended up blinking more and more.

“The fifth Pirate Emperor! Fuckers, I’ve never been a pirate… only criminal.” Josh couldn’t believe the audacity of the World Government. He scrolled his eyes to the bounty.

“Nine Zeroes” Josh ended up feeling a surge of headache upon seeing his bounty.

[3.000.000.000 B]

“Three billion… much less than I had spent on myself.”

World’s body was next to him in this destroyed marine base. Josh found that the news made him know the feeling of being weak in his knees. Josh sat down.

What made his knees weak wasn’t fear or something like that.

But. Having 3 billion Berries as a bounty…  Every eye would be on him. And when he goes to the New World, Josh would have to face a lot of troubles… he wasn’t afraid of facing them, but just thinking about the amount of work and the distribution he has to face. Josh put his forehead in his head.

“The article mentioned that, not only did I kill Akainu and his funeral is today, but I also killed Doflamingo. Great. Kaido. And without to mention, his lover, Big Mom.”

Josh has the goal of making his land and living happily there.

“Can’t a man have a break?”

Josh lied on his back and opened the newspaper to see more details.

The two Admirals along with the Fleet Admiral appeared in one picture. Sengoku was heading them, and there was a quote under his name.

“The World Government and the Marines won’t rest until they grab The Gambler down.” Josh raised his eyebrows. “Don’t they have other emperors to bother?”

Josh smiled when he realised that he started referring to himself as a Pirate Emperor.

‘Just as I thought that my life can start to get easier… whatever. I have to Devil Fruits that make me more dangerous than an ancient weapon. I’ll study later to see what’s the best third combination.’ Josh thought. After all, he has more destructive power than Whitebeard.

“Alright.” Josh stood up.

He made his decision.

First, he will make it to the New World, have his promised land, and if Yonko bothered him, Josh can always get stronger and rob them of their wealth.

Doflamingo, someone who had been controlling the underworld and selling artificial Devil Fruits, should have a lot of money. And for Kaido to provide him, must have more.

“I’ll take their money, turn it into power, and take it, and turn it to more power.”

“As for the World Government, I’ll destroy them from the inside.” Josh opened his hand, and a heart-shaped object appeared. It was something to create Devil Fruits.

Josh smiled as he thought about Carlos. A stupid man inside of the holy land.

‘I won’t take his money. His penis will shrink over the months… for a horny man like him, losing his life creator is worse than death.’ Josh half-closed his eyes. ‘I can relate… In any case, I’ll offer him a way to live, and that’s where the World Government will die truly.’

Josh turned his head and looked at World, before picking up his Devil Vessel. Josh was thinking about World. He is a strong man and a master of 6 powers. But most importantly. He has something against the Celestial Dragons and wishes to kill them.

Josh reached his pocket and grabbed a paper and a pencil, which started shining in red.

Josh threw the paper to the ground next World, and he turned to leave.

“I still have to learn how to use More More.”

Turning into his Demon form, Josh flapped his wings.

“Let’s try this.”

<<More Speed: x100>>

And he vanished from sight.

While Josh was done hunting World, the rest of the world was facing a crisis. An economical one.

In front of one of the banks, Robin was having many copies appearing, and the copies joined together, forming a group of giants. Each giant had great strength, and they lifted the banks from the roots, before heading to the sea where a giant snake opened her mouth to take it.

People were taking photos of Robin and her army.

“Giants are attacking again.”

“Oh no!”

“Why all of them are twins. And hot…”

“Just run away.”

Robin shook her head and dispelled her copies before she sat on the top of the snake.

“Move bitch.”

In other places, the same was happening. Mikita was having her fun by using her awakened Devil Fruit. She could lift a whole building by manipulating its weight, and then, throwing it and turning it back. After turning herself into 0.1 kilos, she could move so fast than the eye can see, and she could steal a lot of gold and money.

And not so far from her, Marianne was doing the same, hypnotising people in the bank to give the money. If there was security or resistance, it was easy to deal with them. Melissa did nothing, except threaten everyone to light up the gasoline, which made the job easy for her.

They were working together while Robin was working alone. Robin was one army woman because of her Devil Fruit. It was understandable why she took Bitch with her.

World’s eyelids shook as he woke up. His head felt dizzy, dizzier than the time he woke up from his slumber after the World Government had frozen him.

The World Government had frozen him because they feared he would die. If he died, his fruit would appear somewhere else. And because of its potential, it could cause chaos.

World’s eyes move around. He remembered what happened. Some brown-haired samurai — given his weapon — beat his ass with one movement.

‘So, the new generation is really strong. He also didn’t take me back to the jail.’

World was quite confused. He had thought that Josh is an agent who will take him back to the jail. But it seems that he had just beat World and left him.

World noticed that there is a paper next to him. All of the words were shining in red. It started with.

“You may notice that you lost your ability More More. But on the good side, I have two good news. One of them you can swim again.”

World didn’t believe the words he muttered. He tried to apply his power on the ground, but it was no use. He tried again and again, his eyes wide open in disbelief. How will he take vengeance from the Celestial Dragons without having his power?

“No!” World yelled as his eyes fell on the paper again.

His eyelids shook.

“The good news is that I’m offering you a new power… all in the price of you persuading your ambition. In case you wanted it, then read the contract.”

“In price of giving up your humanity, World, will gain the power of the wolverine. Anyone you bite will be infected and under you. But they can only turn when the moon is full.

Sign the contract of the devil with your blood.”

The world had one word to describe himself: Confused as fuck. They are three words. But he is too confused to think about that.
