Mikita was on her period. To Josh, this meant that there is no sex for tonight.

Mikita felt so sorry for him and bad when Josh said he wants to stay alone tonight.

It had been a long time since they had time in bed, and when they thought they would have some warm time, her period came.

Josh said it's not a big deal, but he needed to relax for a bit.

However, that's a problem. Josh isn't a simple man. He is potentially a religious's organisation leader since he has direct contact with a Devil.

And Mikita was a believer. There is no religious group leader in One Piece world without women trying to snatch him all around. Let alone a Devilish group leader who has real miracles but no one knows about him… yet.

To Josh, it wasn't a big deal that Mikita would only relax. It was a chance.

During the last days, he didn't have time to check the rewards he had gotten after beating Crocodile.

He didn't want to open them in the bed next to her, or Mikita would think he is crazy or ask if he got a spiritual message.

Sitting on the couch in the previous casino owned by Crocodile, which is his temporarily place to stay, Josh put a leg above another and stared at the roof.

Calling the system in his head, the screen appeared, and he smiled when he saw his storage.

Although what happened between him and Robin was awkward, made him quite horny in fact, he could keep himself under check for the sake of the rewards he is going to get.

1 Mystery Box tier 5 (+legend rank.)

2 Mystery box tier 3 (+Excellent rank)

And 50 Draw points.

This was a really big reward, especially the tier five mystery box.

Because of one legend rank reward he had gotten in the past, he has a healing factor that makes him look like an awakened Simple Zoan Devil Fruit user.

This was what he was looking for. Something of the same quality, or something to increase his power.

Starting with the 2 tier 3 boxes, Josh opened them, getting these things in raw.

[ x4 Stamina increasing cigarettes (excellent)]

(Each increases stamina by 30%)

[ Devil Blood(Epic)]

(increases the Devil Fruit abilities by 50%)

Not bad. These things would help him for sure. Josh even was planning to eat a suitable fruit, in case he got Angel Tears again. Well, he has time and money to make, and no enemies to bother him now.

Even though Josh isn't planning to fight too much in the future, just starting his business, Josh realises that he is in the One Piece world, where strength is what matters. Law can't do anything. Might control everything, and without it, he can't protect himself, let alone having his dreams achieved.

Opening the legend rank box, Josh got his legendary reward.

Josh, as he saw the box opening, knew it worths everything, from blood to the tears he had spent, from each punch and kick he got in his face, and of course, the sands that entered through his ears and nose.

[+ Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit: Devil-Devil, module: The Ancient Demon.]

The system didn't explain what this fruit does to Josh. Josh, who never had thought about eating a Devil Fruit, never expected this one to be his reward.

He got a Zoan devil fruit, which allows him to turn into a Demon or a Devil…

Since it was a mythical Zoan, not an ordinary one, Josh wondered what its mystical abilities, besides super regeneration. Thinking about, what if his crazy healing factor was mixed with the Zoan's regeneration once it is awakened.

Shaking his head, Josh let it rest in his storage. He is strong enough already. He would only eat the Devil Fruit when gets some Angel Tears from the lottery again.

The Angel Tears would allow him to deal with its weakness.

And since he has money, and had seen that he got some rewards twice, he believed he will get it.

Now, he should work on his skills and strength.

Besides the fifty points, he got from Crocodile, Josh has put 200 million Berries in his system for 200 draw points, giving him 250 Draw Points. They would be used once he feels lucky.

The other amount of money would be disturbed on his project of making casinos, where he ripped off pirate's money and their bounty, besides the people who shouldn't gamble.

Shaking his head, Josh, who had forgotten about having sex tonight, took the black Katana out of his storage and the manual of swordsmanship.

Josh started practising it again, wanting to increase his talent for swordsmanship.

Surely, his body was adapting fast and learning the postures. Yet, Josh needed to understand the blade more than move.

Even though the times were peaceful, Josh, as he was waving his sword, thought that every moment should be spent trying to gain additional power.

-x-X-x-

Josh was sitting at his office, looking at the black-haired snow-white woman in front of him.

Robin made a huge smile at Josh's face.

Currently, she made some quiet changes to herself.

Her skin now is fair like milk. Her hair was tied now in a ponytail, and she was wearing a jacket and a short skirt with a slit on the right side that showed up her long leg. She also pushed her bangs back to her hair, giving her a more familiar look to her anime version after two years.

"You're no longer Nico Robin?" Josh said. Although she has changed her look, she was still as hot in the past, with perfect curves and huge melons…

"Mmm…" Robin nodded with a smirk, seeming to wait for his opinion.

"So what's your name now."

"I decided to leave that for you."

"Don't raise your hopes." Josh rolled on his chair and lifted his head, thinking of a good name. 'I'm not good at naming pets, let alone women.'

"I'll be happy with anything."

"Just don't pinch my balls again," Josh said. Robin remembered what had happened the last few nights, and there was a little blush on her skin.

Robin didn't notice she was blushing because she was been used to her tanned skin.

She just had that careless face and smiled.

Josh coughed, remembering the face she had given him that time when he grabbed her butt.

Although he didn't get his revenge, he didn't regret his decision.

"How about, Robina." Josh thought that the World Government won't think that Robin would be stupid enough to pick up such a name.

Staring at him for twenty seconds, Robin rolled her eyes and mocked, "Wow, you are so genius."

Keep rolling them. You may see your brain one day." Seeing her reaction, Josh furrowed his eyebrows and said.

"What."

The eyes felt hurt as she stopped rolling them when she heard his comment. She stared at Josh. He got on her nerves again and she bit slightly on her teeth.

Before she could cross her arms, Josh's jaw dropped a bit as his gaze shifted to behind of her shoulder, his facial expression froze.

Robin thought it was a serious thing, and she made some eyes appear on the wall to see behind her. Yet, when she did, she noticed nothing behind her.

But when she looked forward, she noticed that Josh has vanished from his place, with a notice on the table.

Robin walked to the office and read the note.

[Better luck next time.]

Looking around and seeing that she was alone, she let a long exhale, filling her cheeks with air and scoffing.

"He got me…"

-x-X-x-

Josh rubbed his balls silently as he thought about what happened the last time he pinched her butt. "Only if life was fair.

Josh was walking back to Crocodile's place. As it seems, he would be moving out by tomorrow and go live somewhere else. Josh decided to spend this time with Mikita.

Although it had been some time they had sex, he needed to have some talk with her.

Otherwise, if he stayed alone with Robin and had a sister-brother game, it may lead to things… things that give him a boner when thinking off.

Meeting Mikita, who was lying on the bed, Josh had some talk with her.

She asked him where he had spent the night last time, only to say he was in the office practising.

"I know that you are training maniac… but come on. In the office." Mikita looked at Josh who was sitting next to her in the bed.

"You wanted to sleep early, and you were sick… so…" Josh shrugged his shoulders. Mikita felt that she had been neglecting him.

While he was looking at the ground, Josh saw her slender hands holding him from the collar, before grabbing him, which drew surprise on his face.

"Mikita, what are you doing— "

"Josh, I don't want you to cheat on me."

She hushed him as she put her finger on his lips.

Josh raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"I want you to bang someone we know. Until I'm healed."

When Mikita said those words, Josh put his hand on her forehead. "Your temperature is normal, did you eat something bad?"

"It's okay Joshy. You remember me telling you that I came from a noble family."

"Yes, and that you left to achieve your dreams and all…" Josh said. "And you also gave me a death glare when you suspected that I checked out Vivi."

He raised his eyebrows as he was checking out her body, looking for signs of normal heat.

"We practice polygamy. And it's only cheating when it happens in the back." Mikita put her hand on his cheek. Josh was really good of lover, less ass hole, and sweet enough to handle her crazy personality. And most importantly, he was very good at bed and has crazy stamina.

'Hey…' Josh had that in mind at the beginning. But that was only left until he becomes some king a few years later.

But now… he never thought he would hear her saying that. Josh opened his eyes widely.

"Alright, you're under the effect of hormones. Do you want to eat someone particular?"

Mikita furrowed her eyebrows, grabbing him strongly and increasing her weight, so he wouldn't budge. With a serious expression, she hissed. "I want you to get someone we know. I won't accept you getting horny with someone else and leave."

Mikita had a deep fear. Since Josh has contact with a Devil from another world, she feared that he would go to another woman after getting neglected by her accidentally.

And then, the others would know about his ability, and then other women would try to take him from Mikita. She knew that they won't mind since she had seen women being happy to be taken as kings' continues. Some would be happier to be taken by Celestial Dragons.

"Ah... how did that even cross your mind." Josh's heart skipped two beats as he looked at her eyes, almost not believing that she is serious.

Still, this is a different culture. They don't have very high education and no feminism here.

He has just to accept their rules.

"Devil's whispers," Mikita said, rising her golden eyebrow.

"Mikita…" he said, feeling the love that he never felt, but he didn't show it on his face. "

Should I gamble more and see where this is going to lead?" Josh looked around the room.

It can be that she was testing him. So he is testing back.

"Don't play your luck. It's temporarily. We can just play and kiss." Before Josh could even discuss it, she grabbed him closer started kissing him.

Although his tongue was moving, Josh was thinking. 'Is it real, dream, or a test?' Putting his hand on her heart, Josh decided to test her heartbeat. Mikita only blushed when he did that.
