Josh tied the bathrobe after he was done bathing. The day had been long, and it was finally night. After taking the anaglyph, scamming the king, Josh went to play a bit with the girls. It has been a few days since he didn't play. Although he is an adult, there is a child inside of him that wants to play with the others… in fact, children, and they want to play inside the others. 

Josh turned his head. Robin who was in her underwear was examining the big Poneglyph that Josh offered. It was silver, not red. Which meant that it wasn't for finding the One Piece. Robin didn't care about that latter, since she knew about the rare compass he has. Although, she still wondered why he didn't want to find One Piece. Josh may not be curious, but Robin was. It's her curiosity that kills her. 

"What do you think of this?" Josh asked. 

"Let my orgasm end first and then see." Robin let a sigh. 

"Well. Aren't one supposed to think clearly after orgasming?" Josh said. 

"Do you want to have girls talk?"

"I'll skip." Josh rolled his eyes and jumped to the couch, before grabbing a drink of strange fruit. 

Robin hide her chuckle and looked at the Poneglyph. "Interesting." 

"Lemme guess. Something about the old history." 

"Leave that stuff, it's boring." Mikita stood behind Josh and took the cup from his hand before drinking. "We could just go for another round." 

Robin took a deep breath to ignore what she heard and looked at Josh. "Well, it talks about how to transfer ancient powers… reincarnate them through a specific bloodline." 

"Ancient powers?" Josh cocked his head in confusion. "We are talking about One Piece." 

"What? We are talking about ancient powers." Robin let a sigh. "You remember the ruins you brought with Bitch when you came from 

"Not everything. I was too focused on the gold." 

"One of them is a Poneglyph, and it talked about an ancient weapon —" 

"Which is a human one." Josh turned his head to the wall as if a realisation hit him. "Now I get it. How a 15 years old big girl can have a power mentioned almost 800 years ago." 

"You know about it?" Robin seemed to be surprised now. "Don't tell me you can read this!" Robin pointed to the Poneglyph. 

"I'm a quick learner, try reading this, and I'll tell you what every word means."

Josh said confidently. With all of the boosts and the talents he had, Josh could put a quick learner to shame. 

"I believe you." Robin raised her hands in defeat. "Well. I guess you can teach the kids." 

"Kids?" Josh almost didn't understand, until he thought that Robin was talking about her future kids. He shrugged his shoulders. 

"Anyway. It talks about ancient powers that had existed before the Devil Fruits, and those powers could be transferred through specific bloodlines. This Poneglyph talks about how to awaken them in the members that got the power."

"Whatever." Josh stood up. "I need you to stand in front of the door. You and Mikita wear some clothes and talk about some ancient weapons. I need you to spread the rumours." 

"Hey, don't tell me you are planning to sell it?" Robin almost exclaimed. She loves the Poneglyph just like Josh loves winning good stuff. 

"Sell them, in fact." He corrected her. 

"Them?" Robin didn't understand. Everyone didn't understand. 

Josh extended his hand, and a paper appeared. Josh held it from the corners, and he found that the white paper could stretch and grow bigger.

This is the legend rank item, the creation paper. After asking Mikita to bring him a pencil, Josh stared at the paper. 

"What are you doing?" Mikita asked. 

'I used to draw cars a lot when I was in high school, so this shouldn't be hard.' 

While staring at the Poneglyph, Josh's hand was sketching swiftly. 

Mikita hit Robin with her elbow and pointed at Josh, holding her laugh. "Don't you think he's cute, trying to sell a draw of it on a paper?" 

"It may work." Robin turned to Mikita. "What matters is the words. But if you don't sell the original, you have to sell it for cheap." 

The original Poneglyph was known to be so solid that it was hard to destroy. If the World Government could destroy them, they would have been destroyed a long time ago. 

Marianne walked by, holding a cookie. "It works. Look." 

Josh shook the paper, and the draw got out of the paper. Josh didn't believe his eyes. It was an exact replica of the Poneglyph that appeared in front of him. The same size as well. 

"Robin. If you can sell ten of them, to any rich fucker with 10 billion Berries, we are fucking rich." 

"We are rich already," Robin said as she let a sigh. Ever joining Josh, she was used to being surprised. 

Josh smiled as he looked at the paper. He then felt something. 

"Daddy!" 

Marianne jumped and landed on his back. 

"What?" 

"Sell it to me!" Marianne extended her hand to grab it. 

"Hey, why would I sell it? Are you a stranger?" Josh frowned at her. "You want to play with it, don't you." 

"Mmm…" she nodded."  "by the way, that paper doesn't have much use to you." 

"Excuse me?" Josh turned to her. "Didn't you see my sketching skills?" 

Marianne let a sigh. "You know that there are two types of artists." 

"Two types?" Josh frowned at her. "You mean the one who can copy and the one who can create." 

"Yep, you got it. You are the first type. I can draw whatever you want" Marianne seemed to be needy. Josh could feel this. Well, she never showed a desire for anything, until now. 

"Okay, you can have it on Tuesdays and Fridays, deal." 

"What are you going to do with it?" Marianne asked. "I can replicate the Poneglyph for you if you want." 

"Do you know how to draw a car?" Josh asked. 

Marianne was confused. 

"I thought so." Josh scoffed at her. "But just play with this for now." 

Marianne took the creation paper and smiled. 

"What is a car?" Mikita asked Robin. "Is it something that they sell in Underworld?" 

"Even I don't know." Robin stared at Josh, confused. The car doesn't appear to be something even in the underworld, and she knows everything that sells there. 'He is bullshiting, I guess.' 

"Girls, the rumours!" Josh raised his voice as he turned to the two. 

Robin and Mikita rolled their eyes. 

Soon, they started talking aloud about an ancient weapon, which is very dangerous, in the Poneglyph. 

Although it was fake, Josh wanted some maid to hear it.

That maid will spread the rumours, and eventually, they will reach the spies of the emperors and the world government and even the pirates. 

It's just marketing. 

-x-X-x-

The morning came, and Josh was quite happy with the start of the new day as he woke up, being hugged by his whole crew. Josh got off the bed and walked to the corner, grabbing his pants. 

Getting alerted by his Haki, Josh rubbed his ear and turned to the door. "What now?" 

He opened the door. A group of royal guards were running in random directions. Josh could smell fear and desperation in them. 

"What the hell is going on?" Josh grabbed a near guard from the collar and asked him, staring at him dead in the eyes. 

The guard shivered a bit and replied. "Crisis. Our whole island is about to get destroyed. Please, sir, find a way to save us… no, you can't. We don't have hope. Even Whitebeard can't stop this without destroying everything!" 

"What the hell?" Josh pushed the guard and got out, before closing the door behind him.

He thought of what may have gone wrong. It can't be that rumours spread so fast that some pirate emperors came here personally. What may have gone wrong?  

While walking in the hall, Josh found a long line of  Whitebeard pirates. Three giant figures stood in front, and the smallest belonged to Whitebeard. All of them were staring at the edge, away from the bubble. 

"Is there a better way to start the morning?" Josh muttered. "Gimme a break."
