230 Chapter 230

The ship lost its glow once Tesoro lost his Devil Fruit. The people who had been enslaved to him for so long had felt the change. The gold specks that had been covering them, that had been prisoning them like a knife on their throat, was off. They felt that they could regain their freedom. 

They no longer have to work for Tesoro. 

They realised this, and they started attacking Tesoro's crew. But Alas, the crew of Tesero was very strong with strange Devil Fruits powers. 

Luckily for them, Robin had helped them with her power. Just a few arms and necks were cracked. Robin clapped her hands when the people started cheering up for the one who helped them without seeing her. She felt quite satisfied with herself. 

There is nothing better than using Future Vision to win in a casino and then having a nice warm-up exercise. 

She and the girls were at the seaport, waiting for Josh to come. 

Mikita turned her eyes, same for Hancock to the lady in the middle. 

They have a new guest. Baccarat was having her hand on her hip, waiting with them. 

"Okay. Listen, girls. Don't bother me, and I won't bother you." Baccarat said. "We are in fair competition." 

By competition, she meant the one who will stanch up the captain. 

Surges of Conqueror Haki danced around Hancock. She clenched her fist, and she kicked toward Baccarat's face. 

Baccarat only smiled. 

At that moment, one of Hancock's heels were broken and she missed her target. 

Hancock paused and stared at Baccarat. How can someone be this lucky! 

"Don't worry, Hancock." Baccarat smiled. "You and I can work together." She winked at her. 

"I work alone!" Hancock said as she picked up her broken heel. She cursed. The heel to her was more important than teaching this girl another lesson. 

Mikita let a sigh. "There is no competition. I gave Josh the card to mess up with girls like you, so don't push your luck." Mikita said, warning Baccarat. 

"There she goes, again." Robin rolled her eyes. Mikita always says that, but Robin never told her that she and Josh had vibes between them even before Mikita gives him permission. In fact, it was Mikita who had told Robin to go after Josh so he won't go after hoes. 

"You girls sound fun." Baccarat smiled again as she stretched her arms up. "I guess this life suits me. Better than working every late night." 

"Hsshhh… Daddy is here… Hold on." Marianne raised her voice. Her lower half turning into a floating plasma, she rose in the air. 

At their sightline, a giant made of gold was moving toward them. It was very huge. 

Once it got closer, Josh appeared beneath its leg, lifting it above him with one hand. 

"Hey girls. It was made of gold, so I couldn't leave it." Josh said. 

His other hand was having a bunch of candies. 

Each one of these candies represents the spiritual powers of his defeated foes. Tesoro — A commander level. And the very strong unit from the World Government. No doubt their Haki is in Admiral level. 

As for Tesoro's cash, Josh has it all in his system. 

[450.000.000.000 Berries]

Meaning, the gold is fifty Billion. 

Josh officially has nothing to worry about in this life now. 

Except for his life. 

Now, some may say that it's stupid to think so. 

But time is undefeated. 

'Luckily, there are ways to achieve eternal life.' 

Josh stood up in front of Robin. 

Baccarat was lifting her head, her jaw opened and shaking. 

She was witnessing how Josh is casually lifting Tesero's strongest weapon. All of these thousands of tons are lifted by one hand. 

"Take this for me." Josh, with a smile, handed it to Robin. 

Robin smiled and took it, lifting it between her hands. "Guess working out has good results."  

Baccarat took a few deep breathes, trying to calm her shock. She moved her head. Almost everyone is calm about it, except for Viola. 

Viola turned her head and her eyes met with Baccarat. "Good, I thought I was the weird one." 

"I mean. Josh obviously is strong. But Robin." Baccarat nodded. Robin had few muscles on her, but they weren't like Josh's. 

Josh let a long sigh. Robin went to the sea, and she called their pet, Bitch. A large 300 meters long snake came and swallowed it. 

"We are good to go." Robin clapped her hands. 

"Anyway, strengthen yourself," Josh threw the girls the few candies he has. 

The girls, knowing what they were, took them. 

It was the same thing that gave Robin Conqueror Haki and strengthened her will. 

As for Josh, he didn't eat it, as he can strengthen his will through other means. 

Besides, he is already very strong. 

Soon, he will be the very strongest with all of the money he has. 

"Okay, Baccarat, give me a lucky kiss," Josh said. 

Baccarat smiled, put her hands on his shoulders, bent over, and kissed his lips. She pass pressing on his shoulders, trying to feel where that strength was coming from, but still, she handed Josh some luck. There were a few different reactions. Hancock was holding herself, fearing to break her heels again. Mikita was singing, knowing how beneficial Baccarat is. She can't just let a good deal leave. 

"By the way, what did you get out of this." 

"Few Devil Fruits," Josh replied. "Speaking of which, I have too many good fruits, but no one to use them." 

"We have Big Mom's kids," Mikita suggested. "They are loyal to you by the contract." 

"Yes." Josh put his hand on his chin, trying to think. 

"We can bring someone dead?" Robin tried to voice her opinion. 

"You're right." Josh opened his hand, a golden orb appeared. He smirked, thinking of someone else. He looked at Kalifa, who was already one of his strongest minions, and she got her physical power from him. 

Now, who may be dangerous and good on his side? 

Linlin. 

Josh had heard that her kids had collected her ashes. 

Josh was sure that after using a bit of the 450 Billion Points he has now — 550 after selling the gold, — he will overpower Linlin. 

She is fruitless now, and through the contract, he may try to convince her to be a good servant to him. 

If yes, then he may give her some Devil Fruit that suits her better than her previous one. 

Josh turned to Robin, finding her quite excited. Reading her mind, Josh let a sigh. "You can bring your mom too." 

As for the rest of his fruits, he may use Big Mom's kids. 

"So, where we will be heading now?" asked Viola as she touched Josh's shoulder. "We didn't finish what we're about to do.

Josh turned his eyes. "Of course, we'll be seeking two things. One, I need a certain person, Kalifa, you can find him." 

Kalifa, who was in a white dress, nodded. "Who? I'll bring him dead or alive to you." 

"Law, a raising pirate," Josh said. "But alive." 

"And the second?" Viola asked. 

"Have you ever thought, what would life be like if your age freezes?" Josh looked at the stars, dreaming. 

They say immortality is bad in movies. 

But is it? 

if it is so bad as they demonstrate it on TV, he can kill himself 80000000000000 years later... 

"Good, I won't have to worry about twinkles." She replied. 

The rest of the girls agreed. 

"No one wants to become a Milf then?" Josh feigned 

"I will if you want," Hancock said, feeling quite jealous as she held his shoulder.  

"Jokes aside," Kalifa said. "Are you talking about the Pure Gold?" 

Pure Gold was also demanded by the Celestial Dragons and it's on the list of the most important things to bring back.

Almost a hundred years ago, a scientist managed to create a very shiny gold that can freeze age. And thus, it will grant you enteral youth and thus you'll never die of old age.

the Pure Gold was so attractive, and it attracted a Sea King that ate the island alone the scientist.  

"Yes." Josh nodded. "After a quick visit to Totto Land, I'll move to Whitebeard to see a suitable land. I then will take Viola and Baccarat to look for pure gold. " Josh said. 

At first, he never considered going back to Totto land and having people under his protection. 

However, having Baccarat on his side made him think differently. 

Baccarat can absorb the luck of the people. 

Having a country full of people can allow Josh to demand their luck as taxes. 

Josh may even start inviting people in the New World to find protection. 

With Baccarat on his side and so much luck, Josh can find One Piece based on pure luck. 

The crew then moved back to the ship, Josh adjusted the sail, and it moved.
