After making a false report to Crocodile, Josh let Galdino and Marianne free.
"Now, I can leave you on the benefit of our previous partnership."
"Kyahahaha. You are lucky that Josh doesn't like sex after killing."
Gem rubbed his nose. Melissa felt curious about something, and she turned to Josh, asking him.
"Josh. Why don't you ask them to join us." Could it be possibly because Marianne looks like a loli?
When Josh looked at her, Melisa continued. "I mean, aren't you planning to include them in the plan."
"I'm not. Galdino is too smart for his own good. He is shaking in fear from Mr 0's name alone. The moment he would have to chose aside, he would betray us." Josh said.
It's better not to choose a loser. Josh shrugged his shoulders and said. "In any case, Galdino is fully aware that the moment he goes back to the boss, the latter would kill him with no mercy, isn't that right, Galdino."
Melissa saw Galdino lowering his head and sighing. "You are right. I'm now planning to leave and sail somewhere else, where new agents won't hunt me. Good luck on your quest though. I'll pray for you to live good in your afterlife."
Galdino reached his hair, took a knife from his pocket, and catted his hair tie that made the number 3 shape, making now an official non agent.
"Mr. 3" Marianna opened her mouth and put her hands in front of it.
When Galdino expected sympathy, Marianne, along with everyone else started laughing at his misfortune.
"Hahahahaha… You are mister minus three now." Chuckling, Marianne swept a tear from her eye.
"You look funny, no offence," Josh said. Melissa leaned her arm against Josh and started laughing with tears streaming down.
"Hey, your tears better not be Gasoline."
"Shut up." She continued laughing and punched his shoulder at his silly remark, which was almost true if she wanted to.
"Now, guys, Adios. We are on our way to Alabasta."
"But hey. What guarantee that we don't get stabbed in the back." Gem said.
Josh looked at Marianne and Galdino, asking them for their ship's location. After getting that information, he burned their ships, without the need for oil, since he has an infinite source on his side.
"How can we leave now!" Marianne exclaimed seeing their ship burned, eyes widely opened.
Josh smiled at her and said. "Mr. 3 can use his Devil Fruit ability to make a ship, can't he."
"I'll be hungry, take me with you. I can be helpful." This time, the little girl was more polite and afraid toward Josh, as she pulled his pants.
"But Galdino would be alone."
Josh shook his head. Although Marianne looked cute, she still can betray him if she was given the chance.
However, she was smarter than her partner.
In the canon of One Piece, after Mr 3's defeat, Marianne didn't go with Galdino to report to Crocodile.
"Whatever. In any case, I left you enough in this bucket of gasoline to warm yourself." Melissa came and placed a bucket full of gasoline next to Galdino. "Also, there are fruits around, collect what is enough for you to eat."
"Thank you." Galdino hugged his legs and looked at his partner, who quickly looked to Josh.
"Pleaseee! Have mercy on a little woman. I can be helpful. My art can make you relax, and it assists your fighting style." Marianne took her hat off and put it in front of her chest, opening her big blue eyes toward Josh. "Besides, Boss knows that I betrayed him. I can't backstab you even if I wanted."
After thinking for a brief, Josh nodded. "You can. Now, let's move away."
-x-X-x-
"We have finally arrived," Josh said, looking at the desert in their way.
"Mm… boss," Marianne said. She was sitting next to Mikita while having a paper that she was drawing.
"Just call me Josh."
Josh looked behind him. Three women, and one guy. His current crew to take Crocodile down.
Although the system gave Josh a bet that he should take Crocodile down, it didn't make Josh unable to use the fallen pawns from Crocodile.
Now, Marianne can be useful, just like everyone else.
However, there was one problem.
Josh needed privacy, and Marianne was staying in his ship, and he didn't want a little woman, who looks like a little girl, to hear loud moans.
Josh and Mikita looked at each other. From the slow way they were breathing, it's easy to say that they were horny.
After landing on Alabasta's nearest seaport, Josh and the others sat down.
Luckily to them, next to the sea here, there was a town, which had water, which was at a higher price compared to other places.
"Stay around me." Mikita put her hand on Marianne's shoulder and put her head on her chest.
"Why are you bothering me," Marianne said, bothered by her head on Mikita's chest.
"Come on. You are no longer bothering Josh on his comment about your childish size. What are your intentions." Mikita asked with a calm tone as she smiled at Josh, who just smiled and turned his head, walking forward.
Marianne turned her face. "I'm just done. I gave up hope on him." However, the real reason was what had happened last night, as Josh had lifted her from her ribs and kissed her on the cheek, before letting her down.
"Why are your cheeks red then."
"Makeup. I messed up with the blush."
"Hmmm." Mikita let her head go away from her breasts.
"Whatever," Marianne said. "Remember. We can possibly clash with Mr. 4. He is way stronger than Mr 3 if you don't know"
After talking a bit, they stopped to eat. Josh had amazed everyone by his current appetite, as he was devouring everything.
"You pay." Once Josh was done, he made Gem pay, using the excuse that Gem made him lose his appetite by playing with his nose. Gem could only frown, say fuck off, and leave the restaurant.
"I have no money." Josh looked around, to Melissa, who was about to sigh in hopelessness. It was quite awkward. Before Melissa could grab her wallet, Marianne lifted her hand and said, "I will pay!"
"You sure. I don't want you to spend your money." Josh said.
"Don't worry about me. I just want to prove my use." Marianne smiled at Josh gently.
Josh felt quite guilty. He put his hand on her head and rubbed it, saying. "I will pay you back later."
"Whatever. Let's just focus. We have a mission waiting for us." Marianne said.
"Yes." Josh nodded.
Before leaving last night, Josh had made sure that he would get the location of Mr. 4 and his partner.
Sometimes, it is best to attack first.
"We will head out after we recuperate from travelling," Josh said, stretching his arms and standing up.
"Why? Are you tired from the sea? You can smell my gasoline. It helps you to wake up." Melissa offered Josh to sniff her hand, which made Marianne glare at her.
"Depending on from where I can smell it," Josh said, winking unconsciously as he looked around.
"Hahaha. Mikita, your boy is smooth."
"Only now you found out." Rolling her eyes, Mikita approved the green-haired girl's opinion, before looking at the little girl who was paying the bill.
Noticing that Mikita didn't take an action to choke him on the flirt-line he had just made, Josh shrugged his shoulder and left through the door, seeing Gem leaning on the wall and smoking a cigarette.
"When Are we going?" Gem asked.
"A few moments later. Let's take a nap in the hotel. We need to rest."
"Hotel... You are the last person who needs rest." Gem commented. He had fought Josh, and believe him when he says, Josh doesn't get tired even after facing Gem's best explosion.
Obviously, Gem commented. "You just want some sex… Just say that and do it behind the building."
"I'm not uncultured swan-like you." Josh didn't deny it. "Mr 4 won't be at the meeting location that he is supposed to meet with Mr 3 until few hours later.
"We will move in two hours when the heat get less."
Josh shook his head.
