Chapter 242

The remains of the fleet of the navy were destroyed by Josh's demons, and the only survivors were the ones who swam back. Of course, no one will ever know if they can make it back to Paradise, without a navigation way, food and with all of the sea monsters and kings down.

Josh who was lying down could barely believe how cruel he became. But he couldn't care more about that anymore. He just closed his eyes and slept like a babe.

A few hours later, Josh woke up in the middle of the eyes of the girls.

"Phew…" Hancock let a sigh of relief. "I thought you died."

Josh smiled slightly. "Wasn't I snorting?"

"You weren't breathing," Robin said. "We needed to use one of the Golden Orbs you handed us." She then put her hand on her left breast and lowered her head, almost sobbing. "It was too sad seeing you die."

"Huh?" Josh titled his head.

No way it happened. Josh read her thoughts. W Why is she thinking about a pink rabbit sea king?

"Stop joking with him like that." Mikita slapped Robin on the back.

"Fufufufu…" Robin laughed slightly. "Just a little bit of humour."

"Dark humour you mean." Marianne cut her.

"Oh right. By the way." Robin said. "There were some marines who tried to escape, swimming. But worry not, I finished the job."

"Couldn't you leave them, just a little bit of them to do their job," Josh said.

"They didn't leave but one survivor from my hometown. I did the same, right." She smiled and sat down.

"So, let me get this straight." Baccarat looked around in awe and asked Josh. "You defeated the whole Navy, the legendary marines included, all by your own?"

"Yes," Josh answered. He has done all of this without so much power. If there is someone to survive him it would be Garp. "Now, I wonder, what my bounty would be?"

"Who would be crazy enough to try to kill you?" Mikita put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes.

"Don't jinx it," Josh said. One can't underestimate the power of the jinx.

"I can help with that." Baccarat lifted her hand.

"Also, doesn't this mean that you are the strongest creature in history," Viola said.

"I don't honestly care." Josh sat up and let a long sigh. "Not anymore. I just want to chill. I have forever to spend."

"You mean?" Hancock tilted her head.

"I've gotten the Pure Gold. Linlin has it. You can melt it, put a small sliver of it in a ring, and your ageing process will stop."

Well, it sounded good not to age, forever. At least, you won't have to worry about becoming an old woman.

"So, what are we going to do for now. What will The World Government do? I don't think they will just sit down."

"They may," Josh smirked. "How many Celestial Dragons are there?"

Robin was the first to answer. "There should be five Celestial Dragons to run the world."

Josh smiled. Robin doesn't seem to remember the rest of the Celestial Dragons. However, Josh does because he remembers the Anime. Even if he forgot them in this world, he can never forget them.

'This means, all left is the Five Elders.' Josh cocked his eyebrows. 'Thinking about the five. Backstreet boys. Everybody, yeah… rock your body…"

"Why are you nodding all of the sudden?" Hancock titled her head.

-x-X-x-

The Holy Land, where the Celestial Dragons are living or used to live.

Nowadays, the world is very calm. The people who had a deep hatred for the Celestial Dragons no longer know who they are angry at. It was a mystery, honestly, which was replaced by a legend.

There were rumours everywhere that Celestial Dragons were a myth about creatures that created the world.

There was also a rumour that there is one Celestial Dragon, other than the lead.

Saint Carlos.

"This doesn't make any sense," said a bald man while looking at the paper.

"We've checked the registers of the birth of the Celestial Dragons. Their birthday and they are here."

"Only Carlos is there?" a blond man scratched his hair.

"Could it be possible that he is the only Celestial Dragon?" Another one with a beard said.

"Who are his parents?"

"We don't know."

"Meaning, he was born here, but we don't know his parents. Leaving one option."

"Hobby Hobby Devil Fruit."

"Maybe some agent, or a slave, had gotten his hand on it."

"We'll test him."

"Let's call IM first."

The door suddenly was opened. Carlos walked in with a mighty air around him. His hands were in his pocket, and he was lifting his head as if he was above all of the creatures in this world.

"Did you summon me?" Carlos said, patting the dust away from his shoulder. "Those pathetic mortals can't even do the cleaning properly."

"Carlos, who are your parents." Asked one of the Five Elders.

"I'm an orphan. They died when giving birth to me, and I was left here." Carlos replied. Stussy had told him to say that whenever someone asks him a question. In fact, she made him memorise answers by slapping his face so fast that he knows the answer better than he knows the pussy of his wives.

The Five Elders scanned him. Carlos's answer was so fast. They believed that he couldn't make it up in so fast time. Just look at Carlos, although he lost weight and doesn't look like a dumb-dumb anymore, he is a dumb dumb. Maybe Carlos's mind made up this story to fill the void as he has forgotten his parents.

"And who you spent your childhood with."

"I spent it running around, playing with the slaves, and sometimes, going down to pick up a few wives," Carlos said. "If they are married, it's better. If their husbands were there, it's way better to take it from him."

Suddenly, from the thin air, an agent appeared. He looked at the Five Elders and he took his mask off. Sweat was covering it. It was an unusual sight.

At first, the elders thought that this agent may have Hobby Hobby Devil Fruit for him to show such a reaction after they started interrogation with Carlos.

His next words, however, proved them wrong. It would be worse than they had imagined.

"We got a report. In the middle of the process of the battle of Josh and Kaido."

One of the elders stood up. "They are still fighting, right?"

The agent swallowed his saliva. "I'm not believing the report from our spies either. But it says, the Gambler killed Kaido, and then he engaged in a battle against the Marine.

"The earthquake earlier as a result of Garp's body colliding against the Red Line. As for the rest of the marine's fleet, all of them are dead. No sign of survivors is left. All of our forces, are just gone."

Carlos almost lost his consciousness. "What happened?"

"Our spies say that the Gambler defeated the Admirals and the whole fleet alone. If there is one survivor it would be Garp. And he is in need of treatment."

The Five Elders stood up in shock. Carlos was looking left and right, thinking if it may be the right moment to approach the five elders and start touching them. He couldn't be careless here as no one knows how long these five lived, but everyone knows that they are strong. Each one of them had received something called Eternal Youth Surgery, and there is the One, who had been protecting the Celestial Dragons ever they were born.

"So, it requires for me to show myself." Said a voice that came from behind the Five Elders. "Can't let him grow up anymore."

The Five Elders got on their knees as they turned and bowed down.
