It was night in Alabasta.

Although most people now would be covering themselves in sheets to sleep in the coldness of the desert, the palace of the royal family was full of lights.

The news that they just got was shocking for them.

Some agents had interrogated them, and Vivi got to know some news that her father hid from them.

While a couple of agents were leaving the door, the young princess was yelling.

"You are making a big mistake! Josh isn't a villain with Crocodile. He is a hero to this country. Where have you been bastards when he was bleeding, or our people were dying. It's your fault for giving Crocodile political immunity in the first place."

As Vivi was yelling, tears filling her eyes, her father held her from her wrist and put his hand on her mouth.

"Vivi, hush… I'll have to take this personally to the World Government and testify for him. Don't make things get worse."

King Cobra said as he bit his bottom lip.

When the agents left, Vivi turned and held Cobra from his collar, saying. "You know that they are wrong about him. Josh is a sweet guy. He even helped the people of this kingdom with money."

"I know."

Cobra lowered his head, feeling sorry. Josh had contributed some of his gainings for the people here.

Cobra has always wanted someone like him as a son in law. He wanted to help him, but he can do nothing but pray.

"Josh has to handle himself. Let's have some faith in him now."

"I'll be heading to my room." Vivi, like a little girl, turned and ran toward her room.

The king sighed.

"Your Highness!"

Snapping back as a royal soldier entered, Cobra turned to the soldier.

The man was holding some posters, which happened to belong to the people Josh worked with, and some of them belonged to previous agents of Baroque Works.

The most shocking one was Josh's. It seemed to be a new one.

"What in the hell did happen. Wasn't it 70 million yesterday?"

Declaring his shock, Cobra stared at the wanted poster.

Somehow, someone managed to take a picture for him secretly.

Josh was standing next to the seaport, on a ground that was covered in blood. Josh, in the picture, was sheathing his sword while staring at the hidden place that captured a picture of his face.

"Dead or alive… 110 million Berries." The king declared!

"I heard that he killed two secret agents from the world government." The soldier said. "Elite agents."

The King clenched his fist. "It seems that we can't help his situation, except for praying for him." The king felt sorry for a great man like Josh.

At first, Josh had a chance if Cobra decided to make things clear with the World Government.

Now that he killed a couple of their agents, things would be rough for him.

Of course, the only solution for Josh is to become a Warlord, has he gotten a way to prove his strength and raise his bounty.

The sunset time: at an unknown place in the Grand Line:

Yawning, Josh was on his knees, helping Marianne dressing up.

"You can stop treating me like a little girl."

"But you are my little girl." He smiled as she put her hand in the sleeves of a little shirt.

Marianne jumped up, and her head got out of the neck slit. She smiled at Josh, who stood up and turned his face to Robin, who was lying half-naked, next to Mikita.

Although last night was rough, Josh managed to release his stress at night. Although it was quick for his stamina, it was satisfying and it helped them make up their decision.

Still, Josh was worried about a certain green-haired woman. But now, he has to focus on saving what he has.

Josh turned to Robin. "How are we progressing?"

"We should arrive by the morning time." Robin let a sigh as she pushed her hair back and stared at her milky white skin.

Although her skin has changed, her lifestyle didn't change, except for the fact she has a lover to sleep with, someone who protects her.

Turning her face, Robin let a sad sigh, before looking at Josh again and she smiled.

Josh nodded slightly and walked to the edge of the ship, looking at the sea.

He was looking at his system now.

[553 Draw Points.]

That is how many points he has now. Josh felt sorry that he couldn't reach his other casino, or his point would have reached more than that.

Still, it was a good amount. All he has to do is to find a quiet place and use them. When their ship arrived at the land, Josh and the others were fully clothed with different clothes.

Robin didn't have a bounty with her new look.

Making her way out of the ship and leading the group, she introduced them to this place.

"This island is a commercial one. Marines barely pass by here. It would be the best place to buy what we need before moving."

Josh nodded and left the women fifty million, and let them move on their way.

"I'll book a room in the hotel," Josh said as he took out sunglasses from his storage and put them on his face, before putting a cap on his black hair.

Those were just a few of the common items that the system had given him.

Although the girls were amazed by his skill of showing things from thin air, they didn't ask about it and nodded as they took the money.

Robin walked with Marianne, who put on a fake moustache, and they went to buy what they need.

Mikita didn't move with the girls. Instead, she looked at Josh and walked alongside him. She was wearing different clothes.

Instead of the yellow dress, she was wearing black jeans and a sleeveless blue shirt that stopped above her slim waist. It would cover her appearance. Still, because she was pretty, slender, and had a cute face, she was noticeable.

"You only gave 50 out of 400 million berries you took yesterday. Did you give the rest to it?"

By it, she meant the Devil that Josh is dealing with.

Nodding at her remark, Josh walked to the hotel.

Looking at his expressionless face, Mikita knew that he must be angry. "Fine. Let's show the fuckers who are they messing with." Clenching her fist, she walked forward.

Sighing at her remark, Josh hissed. "Take it easy. We don't want people to hear you."

"Kyohohoho…"

"What was that."

"Changing my laugh."

Shaking his head and hiding his smile, Josh booked a room in the hotel and entered.

Now, it's time to gamble.
