One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 36 - 36



"Well, my old friend, we meet again," Galdino said with a quite low voice, looking at Josh, who went away from everyone to take a piss.

"Galdino, long time no see, my friend." ​​

Josh faked a smile as he pulled his pants up.

Who would expect that his enemy, or previous workmate, strike when Josh is about to take a piss.

Josh himself expected. No water had gone down his member in fact.

"I heard that you were dead." Mr. 3's hair lit up like a candle with the tip being on fire. "You surely have balls of dare to betray boss. You are lucky that you met me and not him. Death in your sleep is way better than facing Crocodile."

Just by looking at the sweat drop on his face, one can tell that Galdino was really afraid of Crocodile that he couldn't help but to wish to have half of Josh's courage.

Josh grinned, looking at Galdino. "By the way, where is Marianne, that little girl?"

"Well, we are preparing to take over the others, she is drawing something for them."

Galdino patted his glasses. He was strategic. He knows that he can't take them face to face, especially knowing the other's strengths and especially their weaknesses.

Josh here has his speed and brain. Galdino was aware of that, so he decided to take him out first.

Mr. 5 and his partner can be taken out easily by him and his partner.

There is a reason why he is Mr 3 while the others were Mr. 5 and above.

Josh was now trapped in wax.

Yes, the only reason that Josh isn't attacking him, for now, is that his feet are sunk in white solid wax.

Galdino smiled.

"And here I was wondering where that little girl was. I bought her some candies, and milk, so she may grow up in the future."

Josh said with a low tone. Vivi was younger than Marianne, yet Vivi's body shape was astonishing, while Marianne was a flat short girl that some would mistake her as a child.

"I'm not little, you little!" came a feminine voice from the side.

Josh only smirked when Marianne revealed herself out of the tree, snorting at him.

"It's okay, size doesn't matter. Only in bed though." Josh said, shrugging his shoulders, making Marianne look at her chest before snorting in him. Josh added, "No offence."

Galdino, who had a smirk on his face, smelled something fishy.

Josh was a tricky person who stabs from behind and pretend to be dead, Galdino knew.

Josh didn't look worried, instead, he seemed to be stalling them.

"This smell. Gasoline." Galdino only noticed now. "Marianne, stand away!"

Galdino yelled, losing his calm appearance as white wax wrapped his arms.

He aimed them at Josh, who smirked and close his eyes, intending to sink him in wax.

"This will be painful."

Josh muttered as he felt small wind passing by him.

Mr three wouldn't know what hit him.

*BOOM*

Before the wax could reach Josh, a big explosion happened beneath Galdino, sending him flying up.

After the explosion occurred, another thing happened. The gasoline that was spread across the area lit up and blown up, creating a huge explosive fire, which made the wax melt.

Against such a heat, Mr 3's defences are useless. Mr 3, because of the explosion and the fire, was sent flying up and fell down.

Marianne closed her eyes and extended her hand forward, afraid to fly...

Josh extended his hand and held the girl from flying by holding her hand.

"Don't worry, I don't hit children," Josh smirked at the little girl.

-x-X-x-

When Marianne opened her eyes, Josh had jumped up to the sky, meeting with Galdino, kicking him on the face and sending him to the ground, away from the fire.

"What are you doing!" Marianne noticed that Josh was holding her like a little girl as he landed on his feet. Her ass was sitting on his arm.

She couldn't help but yell and blushing at the same time; yet, her tone was so quiet to be called yelling.

"Giving you a choice." Josh turned to Marianne, who he still believe is a little girl.

"What choice."

"Listen, This is a talk for an adult. Now, behave like a little good girl."

Upon hearing her questions, Josh put his hands on her ribs and lifted her up, before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

When he put it on the ground, Marianne's face turned completely red.

She ran quickly and hide behind Mr 3's falling body.

"You… how dare you!" She pointed at him.

But as soon as they made eye contact, she turned her face and gave him her back, her hands on her red cheek. 'It's the first time an adult kiss my cheek,' she thought in herself, before remembering the mission. Quickly, she helped Galdino to sit up.

Galdino was in a bad state. His face was blue and red, and his head's bones seemed to be cracked.

Although Josh was number seven, he seemed to be way stronger than Mr 3, which didn't make sense for Marianne.

"Cough… Cough… what do you want." Coughing, Galdino looked at Josh with an opened eye.

Josh smirked. "I will give you a chance, either to die or live. The choice is up to you." Josh said simply.

Mr. 3 and his partner along with Mikita appeared behind Josh.

Galdino started sweating."What do I have to do."

Josh smirked. "I knew that you are a smart man."

-x-X-x-

"Yes, boss, we have defeated them. They are dead, each one of them is wrapped in wax."

"Finally. That Josh is really a cockroach. I killed him once, and he appeared to be alive with Mr Five and Ms Liberty. Traitor's only place is grave, don't you agree Mr. 3"

Galdino looked in front of him after hearing Crocodile's voice.

The people he had reported that he killed were all alive standing in front of him.

Although Crocodile is scary, the one that can kill him now is Josh.

Galdino found it is best to leave after making this false report, and live somewhere as a bounty hunter in one of the four seas — he had heard that pirates there aren't very strong anyway.

"Yes, boss. However, their tomb is made of wax, solid one, so I can't bring their bodies."

"Good. Come back to Alabasta. You shall meet with Mr 4 and Mr 2 on your way. Because Josh had warned the king about us, we have to take our measurement early."

"Which are."

"Which you will find about when you come to Alabasta."

When Galdino was done from the report, one can say that he was holding his piss.

Josh, crossing his arms, nodded.

[Ding, a mini-boss is defeated.
