"Thanks for the meal."

Josh said after he finished eating his food elegantly. He has been using the fork and the knife in a very good way. The king noticed his food manner and nodded.

"Josh, about the dinner. I have invited you for something else." Cobra made a wide smile while looking at Josh.

Josh stared at his smiling face. He pushed the spoon back and picked up a paper, whipping his face.

"I know. You don't have to say anything." Josh said.

"Yes." Cobra smiled, thinking someone as smart as Josh would understand what it means when a father smile while joining his hands together.

Josh reached his pocket, pulling out a full envelope, handing it on the table next to the king. "You gave me a loan of 40 million Berries. I said I will give it back. Here it is." Josh let a sigh, which sounded heavy on his heart.

Although he can just forget about the money, he is not a thief. Besides, he has enough for himself to start investing in his future.

"Huh? Wait." Cobra's expression changed into confusion before opening his eyes widely.

Who would ever think that Josh would be thinking about this?

Josh isn't just well mannered when it comes to the table, but he is a very considerate person.

Making eye contact with Cobra, Josh lifted his hand to stop him from talking.

"I get it." He then pointed at Vivi.

Noticing his finger, Vivi's cheeks turned red and almost took a step back.

Cobra smiled. Now everyone is thinking about the same thing. Cobra felt satisfied with that.

Josh continued. "Your daughter has explained that your country is living a crisis. The money you have now can help some towns or whatever. You don't need to bother yourself with explaining."

Josh just thought that Cobra is shy to ask his money back after Josh saved his country.

Vivi's cheeks grew redder as she lowered her head and looked at her spoon.

When Cobra looked at her, Josh said. "Don't worry, she said it a long time ago when we used to be at Baroque Works."

Josh poured some lemon juice for himself, which Mikita was drinking as she was sitting at the same table.

"You are a unique man, aren't you?" Cobra said.

"I didn't experience men, so I can't tell you." Josh shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, what's your plan now, that you took Crocodile down." Trying not to feel offended about the meaning behind experiencing men, Cobra decided to leave the topic in his head.

Josh looked at Robin, who was sitting by his side. , Robin, who was wearing a long black jacket and leather shorts, said.

"We are planning, for now, to open some casinos in a near country, a rich one with pirates and all.…"

Robin continued. Josh's plan is simple.

He would open casinos. Instead of chasing pirates, it's better to have them gamble in your place, make them lose money, and when they object, you take down their heads.

Josh had this plan in mind, and he wanted to hire the other Baroque Works agents, which he defeated for that purpose.

Robin was thinking, Josh had gained almost 800 million berries from the accumulated wealth of Crocodile, and after giving everyone's his share, he has 650 million left, which was left for investing.

Robin was thinking about what had happened last night when Josh gave her her share.

—— Flashback ——

Last night.

"I don't want money as my share, little brother."

Robin said, looking at Josh, who sitting on the chair and trying to smoke Crocodile's usual cigar.

However, he coughed hard and threw the cigar away, saying that this shirt hurt, which made Robin almost laugh.

Looking at her with red eyes, Josh asked. "Don't you want money, to help you move around?"

Josh seemed to know about her habit of moving around the pirates and dark organisations.

"I want something else." Robin tilted her head and smiled at him.

Noticing that smile, which looked more like a sneer, Josh raised his eyebrows and asked her.

He had been very generous with her in case she wanted to move away.

"You want me to take responsibility, don't you?" Josh seemed to remember their conversation when Robin had said he will take responsibility when she had made him have a boner.

"And for that, you want to pay 100 million berries?" Josh said with an obvious tone that it was a losing deal.

"Isn't that a little brother's job? Or are you going to throw this Ane-San to the wolves?" Robin said, putting her hand in front of her forehead and pretending to faint any time soon.

However, inside, she was begging for him to say yes.

Josh looked like a really nice boy. Staying with him can allow her to have some breathing from running away.

Josh looked at her, and he seemed to have some conflicting ideas.

"You know what, I have a good idea, a suggestion if you like."

"Knowing that your plan taking one of the warlords down has succeeded, sure, tell me," Robin said.

"Consider doing a slight surgery, change your hairstyle, skin degree, and, dye your hair…" Josh said, making Robin's eyes opened widely. "And of course, change your name."

If Robin changed her name, wear a mask or even dye her hair, she should be considered someone else, and thus, she would be considered another free person.

During the time Josh had to spend in the Baroque Works, he had met with pirates who had changed their identity.

Even in the Anime of One Piece, Kuro has faked his death and lived free from marines. Kuro, however, should have been able to live a happy life if he didn't plan to chase Kaya's wealth.

"Mm. I thought about it a lot. I had never had the time. I never had enough money to do so, and Crocodile never gave me the time to change it…" Robin smiled, somehow embarrassed, feeling stupid that even Josh can find a good solution for her to live carefreely.

"And here I thought you were dumb-dumb not to think doing so."

Josh shrugged his shoulders and put his legs above the table, picking up and cigar and staring at her.

Robin's smile froze when she heard his words.

Did he just call her Dumb-Dumb? She, who spends most of her time reading books, was called dumb by a little guy who is way younger than her.

In this world, very few things, too few, can get on her nerve.

Josh, officially, joined the list.

"You called me what?" She opened her eyes, staring at his face as he put the cigar in his mouth.

One eye of hers flinched. He thinks himself cool, doesn't he?

Upon hearing her, Josh didn't even flinch and spoke while trying to balance the cigar in his mouth, without smoking in fact.

"Do I have to do surgery to your ears as well?" He asked curiously.

Josh, knowing about Robin from the anime, would never think that anything would get on her nerves.

"You darn little brother!" Quickly, crossing her arms, Robin made man arms appear around Josh's legs and arms. One of the hands took the cigar and threw it off, while others started choking him.

"I'm joking. You are very smart." His facial expression relaxed, Josh said, extending his arms at her.

"I will see a good doctor tomorrow." Robin gave her back at him and walked while waving her perky big butt seductively.

Since she was wearing shorts, Josh forgot the situation he is in and stared at her. Girls in this world are so hot in their design.

Seeing their real-life version, a man of culture like him can't help by having that desire to look.

Robin's swaying ass stopped jiggling as her heels stopped hitting the ground.

"Oh, And you better find one too." She said.

One of her arms on his back bend down, a hand touched his crotch, making his eyes lit up. Josh just got out of his staring mode, but his face was still calm.

Feeling that he was hard, Robin shook her head and took her hands back, letting Josh breathe again.

She turned her face and said. "This Oni-San is disappointed."

"Wait…. I didn't mean it the way you think" Josh said, her hand was getting on him.

However, as she stepped out, that hand pinched slightly on his balls, making him lose his calm face. "Ouch!" he rubbed his balls all of the sudden. "My kids! I'll make you pay."

— End Flashback —

"Robin, Robin," Josh called Robin, who looked mind absent. "Is there something?"

When Robin turned to face him, she smiled at his face. "Oh, nothing."

"Mm…"

Josh then continued drinking and eating some snacks. While being looked at by all the women, Josh excused himself to stand up.

Although the king told him to stay for longer, and stay the night here, Josh only patted his arm, saying he is going to be busy with something.

On his way out, Josh found Vivi in front of him.

"What's up, princess?" Josh said, gaining the glare of the women around.

Vivi smiled and had a red layer on her cheeks. Bowing down slightly, she said. "Thank you for everything. Please, if you need or want anything, I will do whatever is in my ability to fulfil it. Don't hesitate to call me."

Hearing that, Josh raised an eyebrow and said. "Anything?" when the words left his mouth, Mikita put her hand next to her mouth

"Kyahahaha, what things you are thinking of."

Not only so, but there were others glancing at Josh. Marianne came next to him and pinched his thigh, and Josh couldn't help but look at the small girl.

What worse, no one could tell it except Josh, that one of Robin's hands was inside of his boxer, threatening to pinch.

Josh finally decided to speak up for himself.

"Okay, Mikita is my girl, I understand it. But the rest of you, what's with that reaction. And why are you planning to burn me." Josh looked at Melissa, who put some gasoline next to his shoe. Josh was raising his eyebrows, and he looked at everyone.

"Good you know who is your girl." Mikita smiled slightly. She was the only one who didn't object though.

"My poor life." Gem ignored everyone and walked past them, making his way out of the palace while threatening to blow up everyone on his way.

"Fufufufu… you are paranoid, I have no idea," Robin said and Josh felt a slight pinch next to his balls. Damn, this girl can give him a hand job remotely.

Vivi was confused while looking at everyone.

Josh quickly turned to Vivi and put his hands on her shoulder, before looking at her eyes. "Thanks for your offer. All I hope is that you become a good princess in the future."

Looking up at his face, Vivi made a small smile while having a blush as her eyes lit up. "Thank you, I promise you to be the best princess you know."

"You already are."

"Please, watch me in the future."

After saying that, Josh and everyone left.

Josh was slowly decreasing his speed as he was walking out, until he was behind everyone, slightly behind Robin.

Josh half-closed his eyes. This brunette had been teasing him long enough that he wanted to repay the favour. Since she pinched his balls, it's only fair for him to pinch her back.

Reaching his hands slowly to her bottom, Josh put his hand on her butt, which was big and toned.

Although he paused for a second upon feeling how large it was, Josh didn't forget his objective. "Revenge time."

And he squeezed with enough strength.

"Oh…mm…"

Instead of jumping up, Robin exhaled softly, almost moaning, and turned her head to him.

Josh raised his eyes a bit to see her face.

She wasn't smiling. However, she was having her eyes half-closed, and she breathes were so slow.

She seemed to be aroused.

If she wasn't tanned, she would be blushing.

Josh could feel the atmosphere with the sensor that God gave him, which vibrated when meeting her face, understanding the appealing signals she was sending through looking at his eyes.

Her thighs rubbed against each other, and Josh raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't enjoy it. Not fair." Seeing that she somehow enjoyed this, he took his hand back and turned his face. "I thought you would feel the same."

"Ahem. Don't misbehave, Josh chan." After giving his head a pat, Robin walked while swaying her hips, her steps slower and giving Josh a view.

'It's my fault. My physical talent and touching Mikita's butt has made it natural for me to treat a woman like that.'

Robin must have felt good. Josh looked at his hands, a double-edged weapon.

"One can always look at the bright side," he muttered. the good thing was that he learnt a great lesson. Sometimes, payback doesn't give the same feeling you were expecting. (The real lesson: how do that soft bubbles feels like.)

Now, Josh has to think ahead and plan for his future, as he needs to gain more money.
