One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Two months passed as Josh was trying to achieve the new power. It was hard, he would admit. Forcing himself to sleep and not doing anything while looking at his girls working out in his waking hours.

The hardest workout Josh did was breathing.

Josh also had been trying to eat as much as he can. He has been trying the level where he devours endlessly.

Sloth isn\'t a sin that you achieve by just sleeping one day. Sloth must be a part of your personality, and you just have to get used to being lazy.

It\'s a very dangerous sin that Josh can\'t pay its price outside.

After two months of hard work, he finally got the results.

Walking outside of the bed, Josh stretched his arms, thinking why he was even fighting.

This is the best lifestyle.

After a small yawn, Josh extended his hands. Red demonic energy covered him. Both Sloth and Gluttony were there.

Gluttony was an attribute that allows him to devour endlessly. Josh had a feeling that it has two uses. First, the aura he emits makes people hungry, as he could notice the girls stopped training and went to eat. On the other hand, it allows Josh to devour… but what, he didn\'t know. But he needed someone to try it on.

With Greed, Josh had a feeling that he could take an attribute from someone.

Sloth, on the other hand. Josh waved his hand. A cold freezing air left his hand, before turning into a block of ice that fell. The weather became cold.

\'That was a hard workout.\'

After pushing his hair, which got long enough to reach his shoulder, Josh looked under his hand. He noticed his belly. It was fat.

"My six-packs vanished?" Josh questioned as he raised his arm.

"Only noticed now, Joshy?" asked Mikita who was grabbing a snack after getting affected by it.

"Daddy, you should take a look." Marianne floated and grabbed a near mirror, before standing in front of Josh

"Not only I\'m not tall… but I\'m fat." Josh put his hands on his face. "Oh no! I became a soccer ball. (British version: Football)"

"Fufufu… Josh, don\'t be hard on yourself, I think you\'re cute." Robin went toward him and grabbed his now chubby cheeks.

"Awe… you think so…. I love playing with his cheeks." Mikita stood up in front of him and put her hand on his belly.

Josh didn\'t say a word as he saw how the girls playing with his fluffy parts.

\'Fuck… Marigold had must felt bad… Nah, she is 4 meters… my feelings are worse.\'

"The best part is that his cock got bigger," Kalifa said, looking at his legs.

Josh let a sigh. He grabbed Hancock and put her on his shoulder. Hancock blushed a bit as Josh walked away from everyone.

"Time for some workout."

-x-X-x-

Two weeks later, the girls were sitting next to the room in this space.

Mikita was biting on her nails, nervous. "Hey, do you think Josh is pissed off?"

Robin was sitting with her hand on her head, elbow on her knee.

"Why is that?" asked Melissa.

"We teased him a bit, and he didn\'t come back to bang us." Robin looked at her hands. "I just grabbed his cheeks."

The fact that Josh spent 2 weeks away without coming back has worried them and made them reflect on themselves. Marianne didn\'t wake up and was just waiting.

"We should go find her," Kalifa said.

Soon, Marianne extended her hand and pointed in the direction Josh came. "He is here."

Everyone looked in the same direction.

Josh was walking.

He was topless, walking. Hancock seemed to pass out, as she was lying on his shoulder.

Josh\'s muscles were defined. In fact, he got more muscular, and he was in a shape better than ever. His hair was tied in a ponytail, and there was a slight beard on his face. He looked more handsome than ever.

Everyone opened their mouths widely as they stared at him.

Josh stood in front of them and put Hancock gently on the ground. Hancock was smiling.

Josh had finally beat Hancock when it comes to bed and Stamina. She took him two weeks. Two weeks he didn\'t eat at, and since she was so hot, Josh didn\'t feel lazy.

He got rid of both of the effects of sloth and gluttony.

Josh lifted his head, looking at the girls who were trying to recognise him.

He grabbed a slim shirt, and he wore it.

"Daddy\'s home," he said.

"Daddy!" Marianne threw herself at him, kissing him. "Don\'t leave again… I\'ve learnt my lesson."

"Huh?"

"Josh… don\'t tell me you took the teasing so far. Come on, I\'ll give you ten some." Robin appeared in front of him and kissed his neck.

Kalifa didn\'t say anything as she took his hand and kissed him. Mikita only hugged him from behind.

Josh lifted his head to look at Melissa. "What happened?"

He just had spent enough time with Hancock.

Melissa shrugged her shoulder and moved her lips. \'They think you are angry at them that you didn\'t sleep with them for two weeks. But seriously, can\'t they see you were working out.\'

\'So that must be it.\' Josh raised his eyebrows.

Seeing them trying to act timed so they gain his approval, Josh didn\'t bother to correct them, and he then guided them to the beds.

His stamina was consumed by 80%. The rest is enough for them.

-x-X-x-

3 months later, Josh was standing in the middle of the room.

He was in his demon form, holding the Great Devil Sword, practising both swordsmanship and his attributes.

Josh can\'t say too much about what he had achieved. But… he awakened his Devil Fruit. His healing factor, which was already was superior, got a leap that Josh can regenerate given enough time. Not to mention all of his abilities got a leap. His physical abilities, his stamina and power got way stronger in his Zoan transformation. Especially the stamina. And his demonic energy was so hot.

But most importantly, the Devil Contract got stronger.

And given the fact that he had enough time, Josh had enough time to use the Future Vision to get the best items and master all of the skills.

Both of his Armament Haki and Observation got stronger. Josh, if he looked at the person in the eye, can read their thoughts. And his Armament Haki can do more damage. Other than that, he developed his six powers and swordsmanship.

Physically, Josh can lift up to 2000 tons now in his human form. And without mentioning his speed.

The other girls got way stronger and fast as well, giving him a very strong crew that can conquer the first half of the Grand Line, and even do great damage in the second half.

Josh believed that his martial arts and swordsmanship had already gotten stronger.

If Mihawk challenged him again, then Josh would win.

While standing, Josh clenched tightly on the sword. Black fog wrapped his hand as the demon\'s eyes shone on his sword. Josh could control the darkness, thanks to his sword, and use it, without harming himself.

Waving his sword, a great sword arc, surrounded in darkness, left.

Josh felt ready, he and his crew. They all mastered Haki thanks to the pill… and they all got upgrades in their physique. But most importantly, they awakened their Devil Fruits.

Josh thought of using the Demonic Energy to help them, and it appeared that he could give them a better understanding of the Devil Fruits.

Josh turned his head to see.

Melissa waved her hand, filling the air with gasoline, before shaking her finger, using Finger Gun and making the room explode. Seeing Josh checking her, she smiled and waved her hand. Josh just waved his hand and observed the rest. Hancock got also upgrades, and Josh must admit, besides Kalifa, she is the strongest girl so far, especially after mastering Conqueror Haki. Mikita\'s fruits got stronger by leaps as she awakened her fruits. Not only she can manipulate objects weight, but her range got from 0.25 kilo to 1.000.000 Kilo.

Haki and physical straight played a role in awakening their fruits. Robin had awakened. And she could make countless copies of herself or something she had touched. Hancock could turn simps to stone by affecting their ground, and she doesn\'t need to charm anyone to turn them to stone in case she decided to kick them.

Kalifa had achieved a new level where she can create clouds from thin air, affecting the weather, and making lightning that voltage\'s reaches until a billion.

Marianne, on the other hand, had been focusing on learning hypnosis. Josh didn\'t look at her training too much, as he would feel his head hurt, or something worse. Marianne would just apologise. Other than that, she learnt how to control the heat and make plasma from other kinds. She can shoot beams and move fast.

"Okay, girls, we have one week before leaving," Josh called, making them stop whatever they are doing. "You know what that means."

"Snusnu break." Said Hancock.

Josh nodded.

"Can I have a turn?" Said Melissa.

Everyone turned to Melissa. "What? I\'m the only one who doesn\'t get a fuck."

"Sorry girl. You need to wait for your turn. We are all making a line." Kalifa said.

The others nodded.

The green-haired girl crossed her arms and turned her head. "Being single sucks. Josh, I\'m still a virgin. I\'m so tight if you want something new." She said, dodging a kick heading to her from Mikita.

\'Am I turning into a manwhore.\'

Josh blinked twice. That was a bold confession. Maybe his demonic aura affected everyone. And Melissa was good looking. Well, thinking about it, it\'s not fair having someone around you being the only one denied sex.

"Okay, okay… stay calm," Josh said to her. "Once we are outside, I\'ll find time for you, if that what you want."

"Mmm… really," Melissa said as the girls went to Josh and lifted him above them.

"Yes.." Josh nodded as he was being taken to the bedroom.
