One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Although Accino yelled since Josh had trolled him, the people behind him didn't. 

Behind Accino, there were the top agents that you can find in the first half of the Grand Line. 

CP 9 agents. 

They were specifically summoned for this mission, and they had to leave their undercover jobs to come.  

In the lead, there was one tall woman, blonde, with long floating hair and blue eyes. She was around 185 cm without heels. She looked in front of her and turned to the other agents who came with her. 

"Remember our target." She said coldly as Accino dashed forward toward Josh. 

"Yes. Let the Gambler fight while we take Robin."

"Let's just kill him on the way." Said the man who looked like an Asian martial artist with a chin beard and a tied hair.

He was around 212 cm tall and was wearing an open black suit. Compared to the other agents, he seemed to be the only lively one here. 

"Jabra, calm down." 

Said that other man. He was really huge. Around 258 cm tall. He had a muscled body and a square face. His hair was funny, as it formed two horns heading to the side. 

"Blueno. I'm better than you, so don't tell me." 

"Enough." The beautiful blonde agent, Kalifa, shook her glasses. "Do your job or I'll report you for sexual harassment." 

Blueno didn't seem to take it as an offence. Jabra, however, turned his head and looked at the three women behind. "So, that's Robin. Her look is so different."  

The woman was looking at Josh's girls. Kalifa's full lips made a smirk. "We can just take them down." 

"Wait a bit…" Jabra said, pointing to Josh, who just clashed with Accino. 

Josh had just jumped in the air, upon feeling that his skin was about to get burned when Accino got closer. 

In a swift motion, Josh kicked forward, to the Accino's chin, making his shoe get on fire. 

When Josh put his leg on the ground, the ice melted as the fire turned off. 

Accino, who glided back, looked at Josh with a smirk. "Are you feel burned. Fool. I didn't use my max heat. I will raise the temperature and make you burn like a chicken." 

The ice around was melting. Although the island was white, the air was getting hot, making it feel like summer. 

When Accino was done talking, Josh only shook his head. 

He was looking at the agents, who just formed Shave and moved to the location of his girls. Josh had a smirk. He knew that Robin, who got power boosts in her strength, and Mikita who got her agility increased and learnt shave and Kung Fu, can take care of themselves. 

When the agents appeared in front of the girls, the blonde woman asked Robin to hand herself. 

Of course, it was a false warning, as the martial artist looking man took a step forward, ready to kick. 

Lucky, Marianne was there. Although she wasn't a great fighter, her qualification as a supporter in a fight was unquestionable. 

Even when the agents were fast for her, her drawing skills and speed was good enough. 

Before Jabra could land a punch on anyone, he found that his fist hit a red pattern drawn on the ground. 

When he lifted his head, Mikita has already flashed in front of him, punching him on the fist. 

Jabra activated Iron Mass before he was sent flying back. 

When Mikita noticed another hot blonde here, she decided to attack her. 

Kalifa, however, managed to move back fast enough to dodge at the last minute, since she had seen Mikita about to use Shave. 

Appearing 5 meters back, Kalifa, who was two meters high in the air, prepared to kick and send an air blade toward Mikita. 

Robin, on the other hand, crossed her arms, making her arms appear on Kalifa, holding her legs. 

"Annoying." When the blond woman said that, she used her leg to kick on Robin's arm. Robin, because she was stronger than canon physically now, could endure a couple of kicks. Robin only flinched.  

Kalifa clenched her teeth when Mikita appeared in front of her. Since Mikita was very light, she moved so fast for her supposed speed. 

Kalifa was caught off guard when Mikita flipping in the air forward, her legs extended forward… 

Meanwhile.

"Hey, do you think you are in a position to ignore anyone else!" Accino noticed that Josh wasn't giving him a glance. It seemed that Accino was offended as his body started glowing red.

Accino clashed with Josh, who waved his sword at him, cutting his beard. When Accino landed on his feet, he turned to Josh, almost smirking. 

Josh then noticed that his sword was glowing red. Had the clash been any longer, then the sword would have melted from the heat. 

"I see. I have to be too fast for you." 

Speed is the key to win this battle. It's like trying to touch flaming coal.  If you took a second long, your finger would be burned. If you, however, touched it in a part of the second, then your hand would be still fine.  

Josh turned to Accino. He put the sword in the sheath and couched slowly. Putting his thumb on the guard of the sword, pushing the blade up and ready to draw, Josh observed how Accino turned into a beam that headed toward him. 

<<Judgement Slash>>

Without holding anything back, Josh moved at unimaginable speed, even for himself.

Ever since he had used this technique for the first time, he mastered it completely. 

With higher swordsmanship and better execution, Josh appeared 10 meters behind Accino, not panting, his sword turning to the normal colour.

"Hey!" 

Accino was about to turn to Josh, who just said. 

"I did what I have to do. You can rest in peace." 

Josh slowly sheathed the hot blade. 

He knew what's going to happen now since he held nothing back. 

Although Josh wasn't a cold-blooded killer and he hates to dirty his hands, he had killed already. 

And if using a killer technique is the way to win, so be it. 

Not to forget, Accino summoned agents of the World Government here, who, obviously is after Robin. Josh wouldn't allow anyone to cross the line against his own family. 

Josh, taking another step, Accino's arms and legs slid as they were severed.

Opening his mouth as his upper half was falling, Accino noticed how many slashes appeared on his very hot red skin. 

Flashing quickly in front of the girls after defeating Accino, Josh asked them if they were doing fine. 

Robin answered that she never felt better, as her stronger arms now can do more damage. 

Mikita seemed to have an easier time after mastering Shave. Marianne, on the other hand, hides behind him, saying that she would support him. 

"You still didn't finish off the job." Josh stared forward. Kalifa was lying on the ground, her legs spread, however, she was breathing as she wiped the blood from her mouth. 

He has to admit, she was quite hot with her long legs spread, allowing him to see her panties — but that's not the point. She could endure the punch from Mikita, a very heavy one. 

"Oy. That one hurt for sure."  From the snow, walked a big figure. It wasn't the same human figure from earlier. 

It was a figure of a hybrid between a man, with its grey fur covering its body. 

'Jabra!' Josh could recognise him. He is one of the troll characters in the show. Hard to forget. 

"Yes. The targets are stronger than expected. The blonde girl's for sure. We have to eliminate her as well." 

"I'll work with you this time." Said the wolfman. 

"Deal." Josh stared at the man who said that. Although he had his face covered in some snow, his horns pointed hair was still the same.

'Blueno.' 

Josh extended his hand to the girls, saying. "Stay behind me. Raise your guard around the man with funny hair." 

"Alright. I'll assist you." Robin said. Since she knew how they do their superpower techniques, she can at least stop them from doing them. 

"I'll be bored though," Mikita said, pointing her fist to the guys. 

"I'll count on you to protect everyone on the back," Josh said to Mikita as he started walking forward, holding the sword from the sheath. 

Jabra smirked at Josh who was approaching. "Don't push your luck just because we let our guard down earlier." 

Blueno had a bland expression on his face, staring at one man challenging them. "Doesn't matter. We are super trained highly agents. A wanted to like you is what we trained to stop. Simple heavy hits won't stop us." 

Mikita pointed at him, angrily. "Let me punch your face and let's see if you would remain in this world!"  Robin just smiled and held her back, pulling her from interfering. 

"Shall we start?" Josh put his thumb on the guard of the sword, ready to draw at any moment
