One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Chapter 211

Josh stared at the beautiful brunette, Viola. Someone with very unique eyes. She currently was examining the people of Dressrosa. 

All of them were on the ground, unconscious. She knew it was Conqueror Haki, as she had seen it before. 

But the one Josh had unleashed had put the whole country into sleep, except for a few strong-willed. She could see all of them with her eyes, even when she wasn't looking at them. 

Viola turned to Josh, who had a casual expression on his face. 

"All of them are out!" Viola exclaimed. If the new pirate Emperor wanted to do something, then their country will be helpless. 

"Now princess, let's talk about business." 

"Right." Viola was quite shocked that someone outside the country knows that she is the princess since Doflamingo had been the king for a long time. She gave a slight bow and said. "I think I have to thank you for turning our citizens into humans again." 

"Nothing worthy of mentioning," Josh said. Seeing that Viola refused to sit on the stone chair, he took the seat and put a leg above another. 

"Now, I don't like to beat around the bush. So, I'll give you an offer." Josh put a leg above another and said. "Now that Doflamingo is dead and all of his crew are defeated, you know, Dressrosa is without strong defences. Not to mention, Doflamingo had been doing shady deals. I bet his customers will be happy to visit this place." 

Viola gulped her saliva. The image Josh was drawing in her mind was really scary, and she could see the reason behind it. Even though Dressrosa is under the World Government protection since they pay the celestial fees, the marine can't protect them all of the time. 

As the princess that loves her country, she can't allow that. 

"But, I can put a sign that this place is under my protection," Josh said. "All you need to do is…" 

Viola's heart started beating louder and louder as she looked at Josh. He wants something from her… well, he is not bad looking… 

"Relax, I'm not thinking about that." Josh smiled as he lifted his hand. "I need someone with your talent in my crew, so, if you want, consider joining me. Think of it" 

Josh almost laughed when he read her thoughts about having sex with him. That's what Viola had initially thought that he wants to. 

Reading thoughts isn't always good. Many people want to interrupt you with illogical phrases, but they keep silent until you finish talking, and then, they'll think they are lucky that they didn't open their mouths. 

Viola let a sigh and smiled. "And you are giving me time to think of it." 

"I mean, this is your country." Josh opened his hand. "If  you want to stay, or say goodbye, I'll give you all of the time you need." 

Viola lowered her head. She had joined Doflamingo in the past, so he wouldn't kill her father. Viola now thought that the people may hate her for what she had done, and since their country is finally free, it may be the time for another start. If she joined Josh, then their country will have his protection, and thus, she may have some redemption on the crimes she made with Doflamingo. 

She lifted her head and looked at Josh, his crew, all girls, behind him. She had seen with her eyes how they easily took down the palace. They are not the leader, yet they proved their strength. Especially the copies brunette and the lightning blond. They seemed to be able to take down this country alone. 

If they are this strong, then how about the leader. 

Josh waved his hand and gave her a little time. Viola lowered her head and gave a slight bow. 

"If you allow me then, I'll have to say goodbye to my father and my niece. I haven't seen them in a long time." 

"You may," Josh said. "And please, don't talk too formally with me." He walked by her, and he gave her a small quick pat on the shoulder. Her huge breasts jiggled, and that's all that Josh wanted to confirm. 

Viola smiled, nodded, and turned to leave. Her father was strong-willed, so he won't be knocked out easily. 

-x-X-x- 

After some time, the people started waking up, not remembering what had happened, until they saw the palace flipped and destroyed. 

On the other hand, Viola had come back with her father, the king. An old tall man. And her niece, an average height young woman with pink hair, and a curvy body with a huge chest. 

Josh looked between the aunt and the niece, and he could tell that large breasts run in the royal family. The king thanked Josh and tried to shake his hands while asking him to take care of his daughter. Josh just sighed and nodded. The king smiled back respectfully, seeming to be afraid. 

As it seems, having the title of Pirate Emperor made Josh's name heavy. Even the kings had to be careful with their words with him. 

But who to blame them. 

After that, Viola was a part of Josh's crew. Although some girls didn't like that decision — her boobs were the biggest so far — they didn't voice it. 

Josh then asked Viola to see where Doflamingo is keeping his wealth. She pointed behind her in the direction and said it was under the ground, 5 kilometres away. 

The girls finally understood why Josh wanted her to join. It's because of her eyes. 

After putting a big sign in Dressrosa, that this land is under the Gambler's protection, he moved with his crew, to take the wealth of Doflamingo. Josh must say that he is quite pleased with the result. All of the years that Doflamingo spent accumulating money had come to use. 15 Billion Berries. 

Josh decided to take all of that money, and he put it into points. While collecting the money, the girls had been talking with Viola. 

Sometimes, they forget about his hearing sense. 

"So, you can see anything?" Mikita asked. The others were around her.  

"Anything in a 400 km radius." Viola nodded. "And behind the walls. I can also see what's in the head of the people." 

"You know." Robin put her hand on Viola's shoulder. "You should start calling me sister." 

"Fine… I guess, sis." 

"Now, I want you to see a few things for me. We needed someone like you for a long time." Mikita whispered. "Who knows what Joshy may be doing when our eyes slip." 

Josh finished collecting the money. He let a long sigh, and he realised his mistake. The girls will use Viola to see what he is doing. 

What's worse, they can find him even if he is 400 km away. 

Josh tilted his eyebrow. Why would he be away anyway? 

"Anyway. Girls." Josh appeared next to them. Viola's heart almost jumped up as Josh just vanished from her sight and appeared next to them. "We'll be resting in the sea for a day, find a place to exchange all of the gold, and then…" 

"We'll visit Big Mom?" Robin said, smiling. "Are we going to wreck it?" 

Knowing that Josh has 2 Devil Fruits, and after seeing his performance of blowing up Pica, they didn't seem to be worried about going to Big Mom's territory. 

"Yes. First, I need to meet Stussy. And then." Josh cracked his neck. "The bitch had dared to use Vivi as a hostage if I wasn't to attend. I'll rip her off her money." 

Josh smiled, gave the girls a pat, and walked. 

Even if he didn't have his second Devil Fruit, he has confidence that he is able to defeat Big Mom. 

Since he has his speed, all he needs is to break some pictures and cut her head. Easy like breathing. 

The girls stared at Josh, as he stopped moving, and lifted his head. 

"Hehehe…" he let a small laugh and continued his walking. 

"Is he always like this?" Viola shivered after hearing that laugh. 

"You'll get used to it." Mikita sighed. "Remember that laugh. It's the evil one. Kyahahaha." 

Viola furrowed her eyebrows. 'Yours is eviler.' but she didn't voice it, and she smiled at her. "I'll keep that in mind."
