BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - 50
Mikita, although she was quite upset that Josh had it with two girls instead of one as she had told him, couldn\'t really blame him since she didn\'t tell him the conditions, or how much.
Josh had survived an execution by snusnu, which was a lesson of tough love.
It was the only method of execution that Immortal Kaido hasn\'t tried. But Josh had.
— Time Skip: 2 months—
Two months have passed.
Josh life, as someone who is in a relationship with three women, was good.
Though during this time, he barely got a gamble from the system, he was satisfied with what he has. Or he had a hidden desire to accumulate more money before trying to look for a grand surprise.
After all, he doesn\'t only have money now, but a money source.
Josh had opened two casinos in another country which was next to Alabasta — a one with a better whether.
Gem and Melissa were leading one of them.
Meanwhile, the other casino was under the rule of him and the girls.
Although Vivi and King Cobra suggested for Josh to have his business in Alabasta, Josh said he won\'t stay in Alabasta, since it is too hot for him. However, he said he will come casually for visits sometimes, which drew a smile on the king\'s face and made Josh feel that there is something suspicious with the king\'s attitude.
Anyway, Josh had been more focused on his business. Because of his smart investment in this, Josh thought that it would be better if he saves a bit of money to open a third one. After all, he has now his girls with him, and he has strength, and minions.
"Joshy-chan. Gem has reported that a group of pirates are causing troubles and he isn\'t confident about taking them alone." Said Robin.
"What is he thinking off." Josh shook his head.
Josh was currently in his office, with the other girls managing it. He just heard Robin\'s report and rubbed his forehead. Sure. He had always expected that he may step up some times.
"What\'s the total bounty." He asked.
"The captain, 60 million berries. Vice. 20 million. As for the rest of the members, two of them has 10 million berries. The rest are trash." Robin, now Aka Robina, said with a shrug of her shoulder. "In total, 90 million"
Upon hearing this, Josh\'s eyes lit up. "We have wonderful guests, I think."
"Mmm…" Mikita made a step forward and waved her umbrella. "Good old times, Josh. I feel nostalgia, kyahahaha."
"Ah." Josh was confident.
During the last two months, he wasn\'t just having sex and all.
Although he was busy trying to manage his casinos business, Josh was also training hard and accumulating money.
The accumulation had been for one purpose. So, he can make a very wide gamble, where he should have a chance of gaining some Angel Tears, in that case, he can eat Devil Fruit.
However, it didn\'t mean he didn\'t casually take some strengthening items from the system.
Meanwhile, the training was for the purpose to increase his skills.
His swordsmanship has reached Master level. All of that was thanks to his talent that allowed him to understand physical skills and master them 500% faster and better than most people.
On the other hand, his martial arts has reached a high mastery level. Even Shave was developed by him into another footwork, which wasn\'t linear, and takes less than ten quick steps to activate.
As for his physical strength, he can lift up to 13 tons now, thanks to the training and the medicines he gets casually from the system whenever he has some extra 10 million to spare.
And strength hadn\'t been the only thing that was boosted.
His agility was boosted by 40%, which is a lot for someone at his level. And, his stamina as well.
"Let\'s move." Shrugging his shoulders, Josh and Mikita moved outside of the current Casino. Josh, when he was walking, he was wearing a tuxedo.
There were some rich-looking people, who are his main income source.
Josh smiled at them and asked for them to have a good time before he left with his girl, who was wearing a dress now.
-x-X-x-
"For real Gem, and here I thought you said you can handle any pirate," Josh said as he was walking in the backyard of his other casino.
Holding the Katana that was covered in blood, he waved it in the air. The blade became clean again and Josh then sheathed it.
Gem was walking behind him with his finger in his nose, as usual.
"Their captain\'s bounty is 60 million. Besides, one of them is a Devil Fruit user. Not to mention, I have taken down their Vice-Captain, giving you an easier time." Gem said, his other hand playing with an empty gun.
Josh placed a hand on his shoulder and said with a somehow disappointed tone. "You know what my friend."
"What?"
"You need to start practising. You can\'t just stay in your place and get strong only when someone stronger appears. You have to be prepared to non existed chances." Josh said.
"Is that why you improve Damn fast." Gem nodded. "In case you don\'t notice. Not everyone has the same talent."
Mikita put her hand on her mouth and chuckled. "Kyahahaha." Josh knew why she was laughing.
Taking his hand back and sighing, Josh decided to ask.
"By the way, how about the profit."
"Only raising." Gem said as he lifted his head.
Thinking about what he has to say, Gem started telling Josh about the reports last month.
Gem had handled many pirates with the bounty of 10 million and sometimes 50 million. Which was quite hard.
However, the tactics they had learnt during their time in Baroque Works had been helpful.
The pirates would come here, bet with their treasures and money.
They win at first, and then they lose and spend the rest of their money.
The pirates then don\'t accept losing and drink, before complaining.
The manager of the casino takes them to the backyard and explain that their drink has some weird chemical matters before he deals with them.
With that strategy, Gem had hunted more than 100 million berries. Not to mention, the treasurers that belong to the pirates, and the money they are getting from rich people.
In any case, such a project was very profitable. Gem looked at Josh and finished his report.
Josh had been thinking. If Mr 1 and Zala had been here, things would have been easier and faster. But unfortunately, after the Baroque Works was over, they have decided to follow their dream.
At first, Josh had tried to contact them and send them an offer to work for him, but they didn\'t accept.
Zala had said that she wants to own her coffee shop. Josh, wanting to keep a potential worker for the future, invested some twenty million Berries in her. Though, he knew that she can make more with Devil Fruit power since she doesn\'t work for the Baroque Works anymore.
Daze Bonez, on the other hand, had said that he doesn\'t work for anyone. And he had given Josh a warning that someday, they would clear the matter between them. As Josh had thought about it, he realised it was about thin balls of steel joke, which made him laugh. Josh, of course, had spied on him and found out that Daze Bonez is touring the Grand Line, hunting pirates for his own.
As for the rest of the Baroque Works workers, they don\'t know what happens. The headquarter is no longer contacting them, and they left or formed groups of their own.
"In any case, continue a good job."
"Yes, boss."
Gem addressed.
Josh, Holding Mikita\'s hand, walked inside after she decided that she wants to see how things are her. Mikita wanted to play a bit. Josh could only approve as he walked.
Mikita picked up a game and Josh played with her. Anyone that sees the smile on their faces and that they were enjoying.
"Josh. Agent Mr 7, known previously."
Josh suddenly stopped when he heard that voice.
Turning, he saw one table occupied by one man and woman, wearing a white dress and tuxedo. Both of them were blonde, beautiful, and tall.
Josh, hearing someone using his previous alias, turned at them and smiled. "Do I know you somewhere?" He didn\'t want to frown in front of everyone.
"You don\'t." The woman spoke.
Before Josh could even wonder, the man continued in her stand. "But we know you very well."
Joking, Josh said. "Really, how long is my member."
"We assumed that it is between 9-10 inches."
"Oh." Josh opened his eyes widely. Someone to know about him to such detail, it means that they are…
Spies, super spies.
"How are you supposed to know that." Drawing an angry expression with a frown, Mikita was about to jump on them and send them away with a kick, yet Josh held her.
"You belongs to the world government." The smile on Josh\'s face vanished as he could tell who are these people.
"You got that right." Said the man, while the woman was checking his crotch, trying to confirm the information.
"Now, if you would, you can answer a couple of our questions. Not like you have a choice." Inviting them to a more private place, The woman stood up at a height of two meters
"Now, do you have a good blind spot?" The man stood up to his 3 meters full height. The man, even though he was wearing a white tuxedo, looked muscled enough which makes anyone believes he is very strong.
"Let\'s move to my private room."
Josh, although his tone was polite, his eyes weren\'t, as he was frowning.
When the agents looked at him, however, he smiled.
Josh knows one thing. Smiles and facial expressions can tell a lot about someone.
In order to know what he had gotten himself into, he can\'t show a slip. The World Government agents are here for a reason, and it can\'t be good, given their reputation he learnt from watching the Anime.
Gesturing to them with his hand, he made his way to one room, which was only his to enter if he ever came here.
The agents looked at each other before following Josh, entering the room and closing the door behind them.
