One Piece: Gambling To The Top

Josh wanted to say that Mr. 5 is crazy.

Mr 5 had a mind-fucked-up strategy.​​

Ms Liberty here has a unique Devil Fruit ability. Gasoline-Gasoline Fruit, which allows her to create a huge amount of gasoline out of her body, liquid or gas. That was a burning matter. With Gem's Bomb-Bomb power, the two of them would make great partners.

Gem explained. One of the giants now would be drinking alcohol that they left on the beach, which contains gasoline.

The standing of one of the giants is now covered by gasoline, which Ms Liberty used to cover the whole area.

"What's my job," Josh asked.

"The most important one. You are going to distract them while we sneak behind, and then I would be blowing up their place."

"I see."

Josh said. 'He thinks I am stupid.' He thought. 'The real stupid man is the one who believes that he is smart.'

Mr. 5 is stupid to think that Josh can't smell something fishy here.

It's obvious when Josh tries to distract the giant, he would be buried with them.

And even if the gasoline and explosions didn't work on the big guy, the big guy would try to kill Josh.

"Let's move."

Said Josh to Mikita. They then started walking.

When Josh's eyes met with Mikita's, he gave her a slight nod. She nodded back as if she understood.

Josh then looked forward and smiled, before he vanished.

Making her weight light again, Mikita opened her umbrella and floated up.

"I will look from up." She said so Mr 5 and his partner trust them.

-x-X-x-

"Good afternoon, sir." Josh approached the giant, who was 20 meters tall.

The giant was fat, that's for sure, had a long blonde moustache and beard.

"Oh. A human?" Smiling curiously, the giant turned and stared at Josh. He put the barrel of alcohol down, and it was good that he didn't start drink yet.

"Yes. Other than human, what can I be?"

Josh looked at the side. There were many barrels. Mr.5 seemed to want to hit two birds with one rock.

"It has been a long time I didn't see one. I almost forgot how small you are. Hahaha." The giant laughed as he reached with his hand a cooked dinosaur's meat, and ate it. "No, it has been a long time since I have seen anyone but Dorry. What's your name, and how did you get here?"

"My name is Josh."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Brogy. What's your purpose of coming here human? Are you lost?"

"No, I'm just passing on a business trip."

"Business trip. You must be hungry then." Said Brogy, offering Josh some food.

"No thanks. I'm full." Josh said, feeling pain in his neck from looking up. Jumping up, he landed on the top of one tree.

"This better," Josh said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Josh then waved his hand. "If you want why am I here, it's because I want to warn you."

"Warn me?" the giant frowned all of the sudden.

"See. The drinks over there has burning matter within them. Drink them, and a couple of bounty hunters would kill you and then kill me." Josh said coldly, shrugging his shoulders.

"What do you mean?" the giant seemed confused as he looked around, trying to find a trace for the bounty hunters.

"Mind taking few steps back."

When Brogy stood up and walked back, the ground shook beneath Josh's legs.

Josh took out a lighter from his storage, a lighter which he won in a lottery.

It was nice looking one, with a silver lion head on the top, fire coming out of its mouth.

Appearing in front of the barrels, Josh put one of them on fire, before he used Shave again and appear a hundred meters away.

*Boom*

Brogy had an exclamation mark drawn on his expression as a very huge explosion took around the area. Not only so, but a huge fire was lit up on the place.

Brogy quickly dashed toward the fire, jumped up, and waved his axe, sending a compressed wind from the axe, making the flame fly away.

"Thank you, friend. You saved me from losing with Dorry." Brogy said, his heart in his throat, but a smile on his face. Has he eaten that, he would explode from inside?

Even though giants have great vitality, they are still weak from the inside, like humans.

"You're welcome," Josh said.

Meanwhile.

While Mr 5 and Ms Liberty were sneaking, they stopped, thinking that Josh has swallowed the bait.

To them, it was the time to deal with the traitor they have here.

However, Mikita understood that explosion as a sign.

Quickly, as Gem was sneaking after giving Ms Liberty a sign to deal with Mikita, Mikita landed on the ground and clenched her fist.

When Ms Liberty turned, she saw Mikita taking a position of martial art, squatting and making a fist.

"What are you doing."

Mikita shifted all her weight to her fist, before punching forward, and then, in the instant, her fist touched the girl, she increased her mass to 5 tons.

The green-haired woman felt that she was hit by 5 tons concentrated in a little fist...

Before she could realise it, she flew across the island, a strong impact destroying her body.

Mikita stood up in her place and clapped. "

Kyahahaha… you know how much time it took me to master shifting my weight… It wasn't a waste."

Mikita has been annoyed by the new woman since she gave Josh a look at her ass.

Mikita, even though she doesn't mind women around much, some gets on her nerves, especially when Josh calls them cuties.

After shaking her head, Mikita lightened herself to half a kilo and floated around, looking for Josh, who is supposed to fight Mr. 5 now.

-x-X-x-

"Thank you for your warning. Do you need any help?" Brogy said to Josh, wanting to repay the favour to the man who is on a business trip.

Josh shook his head, not lifting his head as he felt enough pain. "Maybe later, if you can leave the island?"

"Sorry about that. I have been fighting on this island for a hundred years, and I'm not willing to leave until that is over."

"A hundred years, wow."

Josh gave him an admiring look. "Is there something that keeps you here?"

"Yes, my pride," Brogy said as he lifted his axe, before reaching the ground and lifting a shield.

Brogy has been here for one reason. A hundred years ago, he and his friend argued. And because of it, they had been fighting for a hundred years. Brogy and Dorry aren't willing to leave this place until a victorious emerge from them.

"I hope you find an alternative solution," Josh said. Thinking about his experience as an intern lawyer, he said.

"You know, I can be your medium."

They may leave and help him to attack Crocodile if that happened.

However, Brogy just made a loud laugh and looked at Josh as if he said the cutest thing Brogy ever heard.

"Hahaha… Even I know that impossible."

"Yes, whatever."

Josh jumped off the tree and landed on the ground. There was only burned grass to stand on. Looking around, Josh crossed his arms.

"Your pride, your problems." Josh preferred not to waste his time.

"Pride your ass." Came a voice. "You failed your mission, Mr.7"

Stopping from walking, Josh turned his head and smirked at Gem. "I believe that you are the one who failed, not me."

"Hey, are you the one who put that," Brogy said, pointing to the black man.

Brogy could easily tell that the black man was the one behind the explosive barrels.

Quickly, he held his axe and lifted it. However, Gem took mucus from his nose, aimed it at the giant, and unleashed it. The mucus exploded enough to cover the giant's chest.

Brogy quickly held an armour and protected himself from the explosion.

"Don't underestimate me, little brat." Brogy slammed with his axe to the ground, making a huge slit spread across it.

Gem jumped to the side and aimed another explosive mucus to the giant's face.

The giant wasn't much harmed, but he was blinded by the flash, and his hearing sense was confused, as the explosion was so loud.

"Brogy, leave this to me," Josh said, looking at Gem. If Brogy fought, he can harm Josh accidentally.

Josh quickly squatted.

After hearing Josh, the giant raised his armour and glared at Gem. "After you, I'll take him." He said angrily.

Gem only sneered before looking at Josh. "Mr. 7. You're a disgrace for our Baroque Works. Today, I will take your head to the Boss."

"Yeah, are you fast enough for that?"

"Why would I worry. You only stopped at number seven. I'm Five."

"There is one reason for that." Josh squatted, reached his back with his hand, and grabbed one long dagger.

"And what is it."

"I was wasting time... with your mom." Said Josh, provoking his enemy.
