One Piece: Gambling to The Top

"Where the heck am I?"

Josh opened his eyes. His body was dancing with the waves. Putting a hand on his forehead, he pushed himself up. ​​

When he stood up on his feet and looked forward, Josh started to believe that he was dreaming despite the light headache he was feeling.

"What in the…"

In front of him, there was all but blue water covering his vision. Josh, who was having a party last night, thought that this didn't make sense. After all, if he had slept and his friends decided to make a prank on him, they won't be able to reach the sea this fast.

Josh, feeling a bit hungry, looked around. But alas, in this boat, there was nothing but few water buckets and water bottle. Unconsciously, he took a step forward and looked at the water.

"Something is strange."

The reflection that was twisting because of the waves didn't make sense to Josh.

In front of him, there was someone else. A teenager with neck length spiky brown hair and blue eyes appeared in front of him.

He assumed that his height now was about 180 cm.

"This… This…"

There was no doubt of it.

Most people don't know when they are dreaming. However, for sure, they know when it is reality. And they don't doubt reality.

Josh was certain now that it was real when he stepped back and fell to his butt.

He looked at his hands, his lips twitching.

"This isn't my body!"

He was freaked out.

Who wouldn't be?

Probably the person who is trash talking behind the keyboard online about how a child should be a cold-blooded killer with the courage to enter the hell itself and piss on satan.

Yeah, some retard.

'I'm not that kind of person.'

He put his hand on his forehead; he was panting since he was really shocked.

"Remember… What happened, last night."

A memory came to Josh.

He had been playing a game, a lottery game in the casino.

He played in the lottery machine, betting on some coins, testing his luck that day.

The result had been five sevens.

However, instead of gaining money or some chips, there was one paper.

[Congratulation. You have won the Lottery System.]

That was the content of the paper last day.

Josh had been about to complain to the manager. However, before he could do that, he had transmigrated here.

'And that's how it happened.'

He bit on his nails as he looked around.

'Okay. I'm in another place. But where the heck the System, Lottery System, or whatever is.'

He had heard about the genre of systems. It was quite popular among web novels. He had some expectations.

While Josh was looking for it, he suddenly heard a robotic sound in his head.

[Lottery System, activated.]

Josh suddenly figured out why it appeared. It did because he called the system in his head.

In front of him, few options appeared.

One of them is about his skills and abilities.

The other one is called a draw.

And of course, the famous Status.

'Classical.'

His breathing started to calm down as he was reading ahead.

When he looked at the status, he saw that he had a good amount of health. His agility is normal. And, he has the ability to lift things about 100 kg. Wow, that has shocked him. He thought it was a prank when he looked at his not so powerful arms.

[Draw points: 2 ]

There was one question mark next to it. Josh activated it with his head. And a couple of information appeared.

As it seems, he can use draw points to draw things out of the lottery.

In order to get them, he can always get tasks if he activates the option to generate them.

He can also gain them by trading money.

Each one million Berries would count as one point.

And of course, he can get 2 points each month for free.

How the points work. The more points he spends in one draw, the more his chances of getting rarer things to work.

As it seems, the things, which were unknown to him, he will get would have ranks depending on their rarity. From common to Legend. The ranks are. Common - Average — Good — excellent — Epic — Legend — ??????.

The last one had six question marks on it. Josh decided to leave it for later.

As it seems, the higher the rank the lower his chances to get them. But, those changes can rise with the number of Draw Points he spends, and his luck, of course.

While he was thinking of this, he didn't notice that his boat was approaching an island, a big one.

He didn't even notice the mountain that was in front of him. He, unconsciously, wouldn't need to look at it to assume it's a monster. After all, a Sea Monster that is 300 meters long isn't easy to look at its head.

"Alright. What should I do?"

Josh thought.

He had just lost his life on Earth.

But it wasn't so promising.

He had been a law student.

His whole life had been a sufferer from studying and part-time jobs.

Before he transmigrates here, he was an intern in a law company.

He should become a lawyer by the end of the year.

"Now, there is a new opportunity."

Standing up and adjusting his collar, Josh made up his mind, casting away his previous life.

He can't go back. So, it's best to look forward.

After all, he had no parents to worry about.

As someone who is trained to be a lawyer, he had learnt from his seniors. Always be ready for the next case. Now, his new case is a new life.

A system is here to assist him, which, eventually, means that he has the chance to be anything he desired.

"I will be a rich man… no, a rich king. I will sit on a throne, and let women serve me. Like, Teach in One Piece."

Josh leaned back on the cold deck, imagining that it was a throne. If not for the salty waves, he may start playing with himself because of the image of the hot ladies around.

But Josh didn't. He could know what is important to do now and he wasn't that desperate. He is a horny man, not a horny animal.

Standing up, he opened his system again and opened the drawer. Time to gamble a bit.

He has two points. If he spent them both, he may have one chance to have a better item.

If he spent one each time, he will have a lower chance. However, he has two chances.

'Since it's the start, let me test my luck.'

Looking at the screen, he pressed the draw option.

A group of pirate skulls started rolling on the screen, before stopping.

One of the skulls grew bigger, hiding the other skulls, and it was opened from the forehead.

Inside it, there was something.

[+1 compass (common)]

He shook his head. A compass isn't so promising. Not without a map and skills of navigator anyway.

Focusing on the screen like a gambler, he calmly waited for the next result.

[+1 Body strengthening pill (Excellent)]

Josh, seeing the rank of the second item, clenched his fist and raised it.

The second item was an excellent rank.

"Booyakasha!"

Now, that what he calls progress.

Soon, he opened the storage in the system.

The system has storage. However, it can only store the items he gets from the system.

Inside of the game like slots, there was two occupied. They had a compass and one pill.

He read the description of the pill

[Increasing the body's strength by 200 kilogrammes.]

Josh, blinking twice, clicked on the pill two times with his eyes.

It vanished from the storage and appeared in his hand.

Looking at it, he thought, would this really work for him.

He didn't know where he was. But, for sure, he was hungry. So, he opened his mouth and ate it.

I don't feel anything different, he thought.

His muscles didn't grow any larger, and he didn't want to test his new strength on the ship, in order not to break it.

Josh, then noticed something in front of him.

"Wait, an island!"

An island, with a beach with trees appeared in his sight.

Josh felt excited all of the sudden. He stood up and looked around the boat, looking for something to push the boat.

Soon, he found peace of wood and used it to reach that place. Because of his happiness, the impact of his boat crashing on the beach, because of the waves, didn't affect him.

"Finally!"

With that, he looked around, to see that he was in an unknown place.

Because he was hungry, he climbed the nearest tree, looking for the fruit on the top. Although it was so high, he didn't mind risking going up.

When he started to eat the strange fruits that he never ate, he looked at the side and noticed a shadow of a city.

"Wait…" he narrowed his eyebrow. "The architect of this. Somehow, it's old-style, like London's. But on an island? "

Still, a city means a direction where there is food and all.

"Wait another second!"

The architect…

Because he had been hungry earlier, he couldn't remember well.

But now that his brain got enough sugar, he could use his brain well to think.

The system gives him a Draw Point if spent one million Berries.

Berries.

Now that can mean two things.

It can mean the fruit.

However, it also can be another translation of one of the fantasy Anime worlds' currencies.

"One Piece!"

Shocked, Josh put one hand on his forehead, realising where he is now.

Remembering all the dangerous situation

'Why didn't you transmigrate me to a less dangerous world.'

Josh, all of the sudden, felt fortunate that he wasn't swallowed by a three hundred meters Sea monster

"What luck."

He then looked in the sea direction, and his heart almost stopped when he saw a three hundred big Sea Monster.

Josh had just passed by that point, and he wasn't eaten.

Now, seeing that thing on TV and real-life version are two things.

Josh fell on his butt from the tree. However, he ignored the pain. Quickly, he turned and decided to get far away from this place.

Putting his hands on the side of his head, he walked while murmuring. "I won't think about anything dangerous." He didn't want to jinx himself.
