Chapter 8

Josh went back to the beach. Under the moon, he held a torch and waved it. It was the signal that he sends to his team.

Soon, the ship came to the beach and its members landed.

"Kyahahah, did you find it easy to sneak. If so, the fight would be too east"

Mikita was floating while laughing.

Josh just stared at her.

Mister Ten now came and ask Josh about what he had done. Josh gave a report, a casual one, and that he was done now, with only one pirate knocked out on the roof.

"Hmm… we must wait for them to finish their dinner."

Mister Ten looked at the sky with half-closed eyes, before he pulled two short swords.

The old woman next to him took two long pins and span them.

Mister Ten then started explaining what to do next.

Mikita would use her ability to float above the hotel, then, she would increase her weight to ten tons and descend like a meteor. Josh knew that she was quite strong. Although her body looked soft, she was strong enough to handle the impact of falling from a high distance.

Meanwhile, Gem, Josh and the other fighter, whose name is Mike, would go and fight forward. The crew of the pirates they are going to fight isn't weak, not for someone who has number ten as his name.

-x-X-x-

Mikita was in the sky, floating with her umbrella above the hotel.

Meanwhile, down, most of the pirates were sleeping after drinking and dining.

However, someone didn't seem to eat the bait.

"Captain, something is wrong with the water, don't drink."

A bulky man who was topless said as he went to the first floor.

Most of the people were sleeping. However, those who had the consciousness to hear their captain threw the water in time.

after throwing the water, they grabbed the near pillows, and put their heads on the ground and slept.

Still, they were few who stood up. they looked at their sleeping comrades, and they envied them when they saw them sleeping like babies.

Mikita smiled. Smiling was a good way to turn fear into excitement. Taking a deep breath, she closed her umbrella, and the gravity started pulling her down.

Her weight increased from 1 kilo to ten thousand kilos (10 tons) in instant.

When she fell on the hotel, because of the momentum she built, the roof was destroyed by the heavy object, and soon, she continued crashing the other floors on her way down.

The hotel started cracking, and the roofs were falling on their heads. Mikita, who reached the first floor quickly, jumped out of it. Her physical body had always been strong to handle impacts. So, she got out quickly, opened her umbrella, and floated up.

Meanwhile, she wasn't the only one who got out.

As it seems, the captain of the crew, a muscular man with metal claws on the top of his hand, and his vice who held a whip, and few other men got out.

The other men looked sleepy. While the captain was quite drunk.

Mikita floated back, to her group.

"Who has done this!"

Seaming, captain Ron looked in the direction of the group of six that came toward him.

Mikita couldn't hold herself from saying. "Just visitors, we want to have fun."

"Damn you." The captain held a rock and threw it into the sky. Mikita held her breath as that rock almost hit her umbrella.

"Hey, do you want to die!" she threatened as she planned to fall on him.

However, Mister Ten spoke and told her to stay in her place. Mister Ten and his partner wasted no time as they attacked while telling Josh and Gem and Mike to do their job, same for Mikita, getting rid of the minor pirates.

Josh quickly took a Kung Fu stance, similar to a horse stance with his hands spread open and making claws. After his first fight a few hours ago, he seemed to understand more the martial art he was practising.

Soon, Josh and the others clashed, as the captain and the vice clashed with Mr.10 and Ms July. The agents, however, were only strong to keep up with the captain, while the vice-captain was drawn out to attack Josh group.

Gem, who is going to be Mr. 5 in the future, was using his mucus to shoot at the pirate, which exploded on them. When someone gets near to him, Gem would extend his hand to them and let his hand explode.

He was a bomb man after all.

Josh, on the other hand, find himself having an easier time. His body was quickly adapting, and the Kung Fu techniques made his fingers like claws as he hit the guy around him.

Mikita, on the other hand, had a good aim. She would drop herself from the sky at a weight of ten tons. Anyone who isn't ready for her would die. The vice Captain, who was famous for using his whip, could barely dodge her at the last moment. Yet, Mikita broke his arm.

Gem, seeing the vice-captain pirate weak, extended his mucus on him and shot it, which exploded on him.

Mikita was there. Quickly, she controlled her weight and became one kilo, and that made her fly back.

Now, because of the explosion, she flew away in the air. However, there was one problem for her. She was above the sea now, and she was about to fall, and she was only depending on her umbrella to stay floating.

For every Devil Fruit, the sea was the scariest nightmare.

"Help me…" she said, her eyes widely opened as she seemed about to panic.

Gem didn't seem to care, as he kept fighting with the Vice-Captain.

The mission comes first. That what Baroque Works teach them.

"Mission first. Help yourself." Gem said.

He was a Devil Fruit user as well. There is no way for him to get near the water sea and risk his life.

"Let yourself drop." Josh just looked at her and said.

In front of him, a man raised his dagger and waved. Josh quickly squatted and kicked the guy's leg, making him fall, before running to the beach.

Mikita, who was panicked, did as she was told, and Josh swam in the sea, catching her, before dragging her to the beach. She was just clinging to him, as badly as someone would cling to life.

"Josh, throw me there."

Mikita said anger could be felt in her shaking voice.

Everyone acted like a bitch toward her, except for Josh.

she almost ruined her new pink panties.

"Toward who?" Josh said.

"As high as you can."

"Alright."

Josh lifted her from her waist. In the process, he was surprised by how her hips were soft. Her big butt also looked to be soft.

But they were so light.

Josh was more focused on the battle rather than this small pause in time.

He quickly threw the girl, who was one kilogramme now, to the sky with all his might, which sent her away.

The battle continued from the side.

Mister Ten and his partner were injured due to the guy they were fighting. But they managed to damage him as well.

The captain, who was injured as well, pointed with his claw to Mister Ten and smirked.

"I was just warming up. Now, I'm going to cut you to pieces."

He smirked. His opponents now are bleeding badly. "Let me tell your one more thing, these blades are poisonous. So, a happy trip to the next life."

*BAM*

Then, on the captain's head, something fell.

The bulky man found himself sinking to the ground. His strong muscles shattered in the moment of collusion, and his back was broken.

Mikita stood up, patted her hair from the dust, and put her hat on her hair.

She stared in Josh direction, who was panting and nodded.

On the other hand, Gem was done killing the Vice-Captain.

Gem said, "I think dead better than nothing."

"You did what you had to do," Josh replied as he stretched his back.

"Good Job. Let's hurry back to the quarter. We need treatment." Mister Ten said quickly. Ms July nodded. The two of them had pale faces. Their priority, as it seems, was to save their own lives.

"Not until we get their heads then." Gem said as he stood up forward.

"Whatever, I'm not doing anything," Josh said as he walked to the side.

Ms. 10, even though he gave strict order, the poison in his body made it easy for him to make his mind. He alone took the head off of the captain and said they will go back.

Josh then and the others went back to the ship.

While Josh was walking, waiting for the notification of the system to hit his ears, Mikita came close to him. Slowly, she whispered, "thank you."

"You're welcome, chocolate."

As Josh said that, there was a pause from her.

"Stop saying that, not yet."

"Alright," Josh said. "I'll call you Mikita then."

Mikita made a small smile, not showing her teeth, and nodded. She turned giving her back to josh, who stared down, and then she sat.

The others sat as the ship started sailing.

"So, I want to hear, how did you sneak." Mikita started talking to Josh.

'She isn't making maniac laughter.' Josh raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. 'No crazy bitch mode.'

"Well, you see…"

[Ding, the gamble is won. Rewards are in your storage.]

Josh told his tale, how he met a guy and fought, before jumping off the building alone. The last part was B.S. as josh didn't really jump from five stories. The part about how he was told that they should take off his vocals wasn't told.

"By the way, how can you jump from a high distance without harming yourself," Josh asked her.

"Well." She put her hand on her hair. Her finger started playing with a blonde strand, rolling it.

"How I handle the impacts of the pound, is a secret. One day you may figure out, kyahahaha."

She then laughed.

Josh, as a law intern, was reading between the line.

'How to take the pound. Is this a figural speech?'

It was easy to think so if you are talking with a hot beauty.

But soon, something unexpected happened as they almost reached their island.

Mister Ten and Ms July started puking, as their faces turned pale completely.

They stopped breathing after.

"They are dead." Gem said, patting his dark sunglasses as he looked at them.

"What we do now," Mike asked.

"Obvious," Gem replied coldly. "We make a report and complete our mission. But first, we have to take out the part where we killed the pirates. Anyone has an objection?"

Josh, who was a lawyer in his previous life, stood up.

"No your honour. "

everyone looked at him suddenly.

Josh suddenly realised he carried away and scratched his chin.

"Don't you get the joke? No one has attended a court before?"

"Oh please. who does that." Mike rolled his eyes, just like everyone else.

Josh shook his head. "Your lose, I won't give you legal advises."

People back in his world would pay money to hear him. Not him. They would go to his mentor who is a partner in that company. Nevertheless, he still his student.
