Robin's eyes were opened wide when she heard that Josh, in a very short time, defeated Mr 4, Mr 3, and Mr 2.

Josh took down the strongest agents that the Baroque Works has, meaning that he cut the main suppliers to the organisation.

One must know that these agents are very powerful and they are the ones who hold the financial wealth of the Baroque Works, besides of Crocodile's casino.

"You are one crazy young man." Robin, while holding the snail, had one hand appeared on her shoulder, which started massaging her temple.

"Yes, sis," Josh said. "I knew I was crazy two months ago."

Robin narrowed her eyebrows.

It seems Josh had made that crazy decision about going against Crocodile two months ago. No, it can't be that. Robin, since she knows what Josh knows and what his goal is, it's logical to say he had planned for this many years ago.

After all, to know her real name, her real goal, where she had been, and why she is with Crocodile, it can't be done within two months.

To Robin, Josh has a little scary hidden side, to be honest. How can someone just be this scheming and collective?

"Fufufufu… this little brother is really cute." Robin teased a bit, not telling what she feels.

"Hah~" Josh just sighed.

"Anyway, since the news about you is still alive, Mr 3 would die for his betrayal now," Robin said.

"Oh no," Josh exclaimed as if he thought about it now. He then calmly said. "Anyway."

"Fufufufufu…"

"I think it's time, for our plan. You have to do your part now. Can I trust you with that?"

"Sure, you can do trust me. We have the same purpose here."

Robin can understand why Josh may not trust her.

And he has the right.

But since they are trying to achieve the same goal, they can ensure each other's back.

In any case, Robin has nothing to lose, since she had decided that she will die after stopping Crocodile from getting the ancient weapon.

Her life never had been good. And she never had something to look for.

"I know I can trust you. Now, do me a little favour, just to draw the crocodile out."

Josh said, sneering. He seemed to be confident about taking Crocodile down.

It made Robin wonder about something.

"Althougj the rain powder is ready to be used aren't you tired after fighting most of the strongest agents in a row…"

"When I have time to rest, I rest," Josh said with quite a low tone. "Just eating some food and I will be fine."

"What do you do in your resting time, Oni-Chan," Robin said, teasing.

Josh replied with sarcasm. "It's not proper to tell an Ane-San about it."

"Fufufufu…" as if she had been waiting for him to say that, Robin chuckled.

They changed the conversation tone soon to a more serious one.

Josh and Robin discussed what they would do next.

Nodding her head, Robin had a complete idea about what can happen.

As it seems, Josh doesn't seem confident about taking the last agents, so he is moving directly toward Crocodile.

Josh knows Crocodile's weakness, but there is non for Mr 1.

"Here's his line."

-x-X-x-

Letting a long sigh while lying on the bed, Josh waved his hand in front of his face, while looking at the roof.

It was night, and he was lying half-naked with his girlfriend, appreciating the sense of coldness in this night.

The desert was very cold at this time. However, Mikita provided him with the heat he needed.

Mikita turned and gave him a look before smiling and saying. "You are ready now, aren't you."

"Yes." Josh nodded, leaning and kissing her pale breast.

Mikita had a blush running across her body, before saying, excitedly. "This is going to be funnier than the last time."

The last time; she meant about the time when they had a drink with Mr 1 and Mr 3 with their partners.

Nodding with his head, Josh stood up and put on his pants before walking down.

No one wanted to buy him a new shirt, not Melissa, and even Marianne preferred to leave him bare-chested.

Currently, they were in a small hotel, and they headed outside, to the lobby.

Gem was playing with his nose while having a cigarette in his mouth. Melissa had a cigar, smoking while lying on the ground.

Marianne was drinking green tea as she seemed to enjoy tea parties.

"Is that lemon tea," Mikita said, looking at Marianne, after sniffing the air slightly. After Marianne nodded with her head, Mikita sat next to her.

"Alright guys, be silent."

Josh walked to Melissa, who put her hand on her chest, and pulled a small snail from her boobs.

That snail originally belonged to Mr 2.

It allows one to directly contact Mr 0, Also known as Crocodile between the high ranked agents.

"This is going to be fun," Mikita whispered and everyone looked at Josh, who stared at them.

"Be silent." After Josh said these words, the snail started repeating some sounds.

"Bero Bero."

Soon, the call was picked up.

After a brief silence, the snail started moving its lips.

"Mr 2. Your call was unexpected to be this late. What has taken your time." Crocodile's voice echoed from the other side.

Josh smirked and scratched his chin, thinking of the best words he should use to provoke Crocodile.

But how to provoke an arrogant guy who is calm and collective to make him take things personally.

'Insult his mom.' Josh nodded.

"Your mama is so fat…" Josh said.

Everyone looked in Josh's direction, blinking or eyes widely opened.

"What?" came the confused voice of Crocodile, which shown surprise and astonishment.

There is no sane, or insane, agent who would talk to Crocodile like that unless they wish to die.

Josh said words that no one should hear, let alone some warlord.

"Your mama's vagina throw eggs, that's why she named you Crocodile." Josh continued.

The Cigarette fell from Gem's mouth as he stared at Josh.

Melissa put her cigar to the side and observed.

Crocodile, on the other hand, paused for a brief, obviously noticing that this isn't Mr 2's voice.

Josh was having a relaxed expression.

"Josh!" Yelled Crocodile.

"Heh? I was about to tell a joke about how your mama is forgetting. But you will forget about that anyway since you are her son." Josh said mockingly.

Crocodile doesn't seem to lose his composure from hearing Josh's mentioning his mom over and over.

"You know, I will take that tongue of yours and shove it in your ass once I find you." Crocodile took a deep breath before saying. "But before that, let me ask you."

"What?" Josh waited, raising his eyebrow as he made his way next to Marianne and pouring a teacup for himself.

While Josh was sipping the tea, Crocodile asked. "Why are you doing this. What is your motivation for opposing me."

He didn't seem to ask about Mr 2.

It was needless to say that Josh took him down, just like Mr 3, it seems, who had reported that Josh is dead.

And since Mr 4 was supposed to meet Mr 2, it was needless to say that his agents, the special ones, from 2 to 5, were taken down.

It was a huge hit to the Baroque Works.

Crocodile was curious and angry to the same degree.

How couldn't he? Josh was targeting his organisation, and Crocodile felt things slept from his hands.

"Are you doing this for the sake of Justice? Money. Or whatever. We may be able to reach a deal." Crocodile said. "I may give you a good deal. Since you could beat my best agents in a very short time. I think you deserve a second chance. So, tell me, what do you want."

Crocodile was obviously trying to draw Josh by using greed.

"No. I'm doing this for something else."

Josh leaned back, sipped from the tea, and opened the system, looking at the quest and the juicy rewards.

"What are you doing this for then."

"I'm doing it for the sake of your mama," Josh said. "I'm gonna milk her dry."

"You fucking dead brat!" Crocodile finally lost his temper and yelled, making everyone almost jump. "Just wait the moment I find where you are, I will come personally to kill you."

"Oh no!" Josh yelled with a scared tone, before turning his face and smirking. "Hey, you. Pour me more tea."

"Pfttt…"

"Hehehehe…."

Giggles came from the background upon seeing Josh's bold action with the boss.

"Who are you with?" Crocodile asked in a demanding tone.

"You know what. Let's deal. Let's meet, next to the seaport, Rainbase City. I will come personally for that. My dear boss."

"You have the guts? I must say that I admire your c—"

"Three days later." Josh continued.

"What!" that left Crocodile surprised. "Hey. Do you think I have tim—"

Before Crocodile could complete his words, Josh cut the call and broke the phone line on the communication snail.

Crocodile must be pissed off now that he got face slapped.
