One Piece: Gambling to The Top

The sun started rising on the marine base. Two ships were in front of the huge tower base, next to the city. A marine who is supposed to guard was taking a nap, not seeming to be worried about anything to happen. 

On the horizon, a big black ship was raising, heading toward them with almost unstoppable momentum. 

"Zzzzzzz." 

The marine was snorting. 

Despite being unaware, the subconscious mind had always been known to be superior to the conscious mind. It could record information millions of times faster. The unexplained superior 6th sense comes from that.  

The marine suddenly woke up as his body felt danger, the danger that one should feel when facing death. 

He opened his eyes and turned his head, not knowing why he woke up. 

A great black arc was heading toward them, looking sharp enough to cut the base, and it came from afar ship. The ship didn\'t shoot a canon, but this huge arc. 

The marine on the top of the tower reacted. He hit the bell, and then, without giving a second thought, he jumped off his guarding post, dodging the sharp wave that cut the tower in half. 

*Boom* 

The toward, plus a marine battleship, was cut in half. 

The marines in the base heard the bell that didn\'t last long. It was a sign that someone is attacking them. Given their training, the marines could react very quickly. They held their weapons and run toward the direction from which the attack came while yelling. 

"Call Captain Hina. Some strong crew is attacking us." 

"Prepare the cannons." 

The marines went to the cannon\'s location. They aimed them at the ship that was coming in their direction. 

"Shoot"

The cannonballs flew forward. 

On the top of the black ship, there was a man, not fazed from the cannonballs as he was standing on the top of the sail. 

As the ship approached the seaport, a few cannonballs managed to hit it and make water raise. 

There was no doubt that it would sink soon. 

But the man on top stood not fazed by the danger.

The ship was sinking, with each meter, it went deeper to the sea. The man extended his foot, and when the ship was about to sink completely, his foot landed on the seaport, in the middle of the marines. 

The marines surrounded him, and they aimed their weapon at him. "Who are you!" 

"Hey, I have heard a report about him, he is the one who robbed four banks in one day." 

Josh gave him a nod. 

"Jack Sparrow! He surely matches his pictures." Said another marine, aiming a rifle at his head. "Jack Sparrow, you surely handed yourself on a plate of silver." 

"Did I?" the pirate asked, alone. 

Seeing his self-confidence while being surrounded made the marines hesitate. It made them feel like they are the ones with a rifle aimed at them. 

"What\'s going on? What happened. Hina had to cut her bath?" 

Said a pretty cute voice. The marines made a way for a beautiful woman with a captain coat as she made her way down. 

She was around 181 cm tall, had waist-length straight light-pink hair, and purple eyes, her nose was small, and her lips were full with a layer of lipsticks that gave her a pretty face. Opposite to the innocent beauty that her face showed, her body showed a wild beauty. She had an hourglass body, long legs, full hips, and really large boobs. 

Her purple suit had the buttons opened on her cleavage part, making her snow-white boobs jiggle each time her heels kicked the ground. 

Around her, two men were walking while showing her gazes full of love. She was ignoring them while looking at the man who invaded the base. 

"You are the new raising Jack Sparrow," Hina said confidently. "Hina must say you have enough audacity to come here." Hina put a cigarette on her mouth while gazing at the man who was staring at her cleavage so openly, seeming to be mesmerised by it. 

He lifted his eyes and looked at her face, and he said. "It\'s Captain Jack Sparrow." 

"And where is your crew? Captain." 

"Somewhere." He said. 

Hina furrowed her eyebrows as she cracked her fists. She waved her hand. "Arrest him. Use force if he resists."

"By the way." Jack Sparrow asked when the marines approached him carefully. "What\'s my bounty?" 

"You care about something like this now? Hina is disappointed with the filth pirates around." 

Jack Sparrow took a step forward. A man was about to pull a trigger and kill him. But with a swift move, the pirate grabbed him quickly, taking his gun from his waist, before aiming it at his head. 

The marines knew that their crewmate turned into a hostage. Hina flinched. Jack Sparrow wrapped his hand around his neck.

"What\'s my bounty?" He asked, hissing and tightening his grip. 

Josh had to make sure that he would go to Impel Down, to the deepest level. 

The marine pissed on himself, "It\'s 120 million. We have yet to disturb it." 

"Is that so…" said Sparrow, lifting his head. 

Hina was slowly walked toward them. "Be careful. He isn\'t weak, make distance and aim at him." 

"Please sir," the hostage marine said. "I have a family. Who is going to feed them after I die?" 

"Your father in law?" 

"I don\'t have one." 

"Your mother in law then?" 

"She is a creepy person. She is in control of my wife, and she always tries to make my life a living hell, which always I chose to stay at night watch and work for more hours, barely having time to have love." The marine stopped for a moment and then he said. "You know what? I already suffered enough. Take my life. I\'m done from them."  

"I get you. Just try to have a mistress, it helps." Jack Sparrow released the marine and kicked him toward Hina, who dodged his body. Turning into a blur, she charged at the pirate. Her breasts were jiggling that Jack Sparrow had to slow down his movement to appreciate it. 

\'Guess now I know why Genghis never stopped,\' Josh thought in himself. 

Josh thought, if he allowed himself to be captured easily, the marines would doubt his strength. So, it would be better to…

When Hina appeared in front of him, she tried to hug him. 

Her Devil Fruit, Cage-Cage, allows her to cage anything that she touches. 

What she just hugged was just an afterimage. 

"Hina-Chan!" 

Hina\'s heart skipped a beat when she heard her men yell. She thought that delivering a quick strike would end this. But her foe proved his speed. 

\'Hina has failed.\' She bit on her bottom lip and turned to fight, despite knowing it would be late. Still, Hina rathers to die trying. 

When she turned, Jack Sparrow was smirking. He extended his hands toward her slowly. Hina stared at him, startled, not knowing what is going on. She, despite feeling that, swiftly chopped with her arm on his wrists.  

"I surrender." He said, smiling. 

When her arm hit his hand, it bypassed his body.

Jack Sparrow found his hands cuffed by a handcuff that appeared from thin air. 

Hina panted. She stared at him, her heart beating so loud at the thought that she was about to die. 

There was no doubt of that. Just looking at their base that had been cut in half. 

"What are you playing?" 

"I\'m just surrendering." He said. "You are a hot chick, you deserve this privilege of arresting me." Jack Sparrow turned his face to the marines. "Hey, I don\'t want your filthy hands around me." He then turned to Hina. "Cage me." 

Hina bit on her teeth so hard and gave him a strong slap across the face. 

She then gave a kick to his legs, which cuffed them. 

"Ouch…" Jack Sparrow turned his face. "How have I never come to meet nice girls?" 

Blushing, Hina left angry after telling her crew to prepare her a ship to Impel Down. 

Josh lied on the ground and closed his eyes, letting himself helpless in the marines\' hands. 

\'I\'m one step closer to my goal.\' 

\'Less than one day for Marineford war.\' He thought as the marines lifted him and threw him into the cabin in the undamaged battleship.
