One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Josh continued with his lottery last night. Sixty times with a point each time. And he has yet to use Mikita's money.

The results, weren't as appealing as they should be when he invests more. ​​

However, there had been some good moments.

In each ten tries, he can get 1-2 + Good Tier item.

His girl was his lucky charm. Well, he fell in love the moment he knew Mikita increases his chances in the Draw.

Since some items weren't useful for him now, Mikita had drunk the Devil Blood, and to her surprise, it boosted her Kilo-Kilo's ability. Now, she can manipulate her weight from half kilo, to a 15.000 kilo.

"It's easier this way." Mikita said as she floated in the air after she jumped, weighting almost half kilo, which allowed her to reach a very high height.

"Alright, calm down." Josh said.

He had already got enough. Soups, items, blood. Josh, also, has 4 healing pills in his storage now, which are saved for emergencies.

Josh had ate all the pills, smoke all cigarettes, and took his medicine.

His stamina has increased by 300%

His strength, because of the pills and elixirs, reached 3 tons.

And his agility doubled, increasing his speed.

Not to mention, Josh didn't even apply Super-Human serum, which should, not only double his stats, but his mind capacities and fighting abilities, including his reaction and thinking speed.

Josh started feeling optimise about his task now.

And he got a Judo manual, a martial art.

Not only now he is a master of Kung Fu, but Judo now.

Good. He has talent and tight time. Josh decided that he would practise.

And, what's more importantly, his gamble of expending his chances, has gave him what he had been looking for — a legend rank stuff.

[+ Constitution Candy (Legend)]

Josh looked at the candy.

He was curious about the constitution he would get from.

Meanwhile, Mikita was floating around, testing her new agility and power.

She was faster, stronger, and her Devil Fruit was better. She may even try to master a new fighting style.

Josh had thrown the Kung Fu manual to her since he was done from it.

Most of martial arts teach the person to use his body mass to attack.

If Mikita could master it, she would turn into a real dangerous weapon with her Devil Fruit. Just imagine a 15 ton focused on a small fist. It would do more damage than a giant canon.

Back to the candy in his hand, Josh was looking at the description given by the system.

(Constitution Candy: Gives a random constitution to the eater.)

Josh, who believed that legend rank can't be a simple reward, knew it can also be something out of ordinary, which scared him.

'Just don't be some super killer farts constitution.'

Josh had read Wuxia genre in his previous life. He had realised that Chinese authors has very creative mind to give someone constitution of poisonous farts in one of the system novels he read.

'If you give me something like that, I will kill myself.'

Closing his eyes, he made his decision.

After eating the pill, Josh opened his system and looked at his constitution.

[+ Mid Healing factor constitution.]

(A constitution that depends on the nutrients in blood to regenerate. A healing factor that heals the wounds with a high speed. Can get slower with many injuries.Critical wounds can be deadly sometimes. And can't get lost limbs back.)

Josh half closed his eyes. His physical body has a healing factor now. Even though it has some limits, it was so good.

He took a dagger, and made a wound on his arm, a small one.

three seconds later, the wound has vanished.

Josh felt amazed, and pain as well.

It seems that healing factor doesn't mean that he won't feel pain.

Josh then made a bigger wound on his skin, and it was healed few seconds later. He noticed that it took more time than it would with a small wound.

'The bigger the injury, the harder it heals.' Josh nodded.

He then felt a bit hungry.

Josh thought, and he felt happy. At least, with this ability, he would take less time to recuperate in fight.

This ability wasn't endless. He can get hungry, and he can bleed out.

Josh then took the Super Human Serum, and injected himself since the system gave him an injection. All of the sudden, his states doubled, allowing him to get stronger, faster, and even think faster.

Still, Josh didn't feel it worth to mention.

After all, Sanji managed to kick a giant Crocodile flying.

Josh, who has 6 tons of strength now, didn't know if he can achieve the same fate.

'But with Kung Fu techniques, and Judo, I can make stronger and more concentrated attacks.'

Other than this, Josh felt that he has better reaction time, and his brain seemed to function faster and better.

"Josh, let's use my money, we would get stronger that way." Mikita said, smiling. Josh, as it seems, gave her the share of what the Devil gave him.

"Great. But we need to eat, first." Josh nodded.

Mikita went back to the ship and gave him around 35 million of her saving. Josh had found himself drawing the cycle again, and of course, this time, he only took a share of what she had given, since it was her money.

Josh didn't mind taking the best items, since he had given her what boosted her Devil Fruit.

What she got was few common items, with 2 Good Rank items and one Excellent. The excellent rank item was a serum that increases agility, while the other items was a packet of healing pills and a strength increasing pill, reaching 7 tons in total.

Good for her and him. Josh kept the strength pill, while leaving her the agility serum, since that would mean increasing her agility in the bed, and moving faster in fights, which she needs when jumping.

Days started passing. Josh started training with his girlfriend in the Gym.

Because of his new physical constitution, Josh started eating more, and training more, without stopping.

After a training session, he would eat a bit, and then train again. His body was recuperating so fast.

What Josh did in these 15 days was a crazy routine.

He would use Shave to run across the island starting from dawn until he feels exhausted, or hungry.

This caused him to express a dramatic increase in his speed, stamina, and a better execution of his technique, allowing him to look like he teleport ed. Also, because of the Super Human Serum, he managed to have a better control over his speed.

"Here, drink."

Mikita looked at Josh, in the middle of their boat, practising shadow boxing.

She threw him a bottle of water.

Catching it, Josh looked over Mikita. There was an item in his storage, which he didn't know if he should give it to her now, since he felt a bit greed.

The Angel tears remove the curse of the Devil Fruits. But he was hesitant if he should give her, or wait until he gets a fruit.

However…

'I don't have a Devil Fruit power. And I don't want a weak one. Besides, I can get it again in case I got a fruit.'

Josh smiled. He is just a little ambitious. He just needs more power to have wealth, and then, he can rest, probably, with his woman, or women in case he became a king, in his palace. A life where he does nothing except enjoying was his final aim.

'But pirates can appear anytime, so it is better to be strong enough to meet them.'

Josh resolved as he drunk the water.

He took the angel tears out of his storage, and his fingers got wet all of the sudden.

Quickly, he let the wet drop fall from his hand to the water, before handing it to Mikita and telling her to drink it. Mikita, after drinking it, didn't feel anything different.

Josh didn't tell her, since she seemed distracted. He would tell her later.

He didn't feel bad for losing the tears. He can get tears any other day he play lottery.

"What's it, it is tasty."

"Something I bought." Josh said.

"Devil-San gave it to you?"

"Wow. You quickly changed your attitude toward him."

"He's a nice guy. He only asks for money." Mikita said, rolling her eyes at Josh.

"How did you know he is nice." Josh asked. He never thought he added that in his new found religion.

"He gave you extra stamina." Mikita said.

"Somehow, hearing you say that, hurts." Josh, mockingly, rubbed the left side of his chest, saying. "But still, it's curse, you can't keep up now."

"Only because you get hungry." Mikita teased.

"Says the one who moans at the first two minutes. Whatever. Where are my weights, and food." Rolling his eyes, Josh gave her back.

"I'm here." Mikita jumped to his arms, and increased her weight to seven tons, making the surface of the ship crack a bit.

Josh started exercising with her, lifting her up and down, which made Mikita draw a happy expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Josh's muscles were healing and getting destroyed at the same time.

And so, days started passing.

-x-X-x-

Josh landed in one of the Baroque Works' bases, Whiskey Peak.

He was with Mikita, relaxing the beach, half naked.

Josh needed this small vacation, since soon he would do his task.

However, he never expected his DenDenMushi ring.

"Who's with me." Josh, who is Mr. 7, said.

"Josh," said a feminine voice.

"Yes?" Josh recognised the voice.

"Josh, don't close, this is Robin." Robin said in a hurried, yet calm and elegant tone.

Josh raised his eyebrows. "What did happen?"
