Things were going great for Josh, who was now sitting by the edge of his ship, Mikita looking at her hands, her jaw was widely opened in disbelief, ignoring everyone around her.
Mikita never thought that water wouldn't weaken her now, as she was unaware that Josh used one of the system's items on her to remove the curse.
She thought that the Devil, which Josh had been trading with, lifted the curse on her. Yet, she never had the courage to go deeper into the water.
The curse was lifted, yet the fear of sinking deeply into the sea was there in the heart of a Devil Fruit user.
After all, the sea was known to hate those who had eaten a Devil Fruit.
Josh and Mikita looked at the side.
Gem was lifting a DenDenMushi and making his report to Crocodile.
His partner, the woman who was called lissa, has changed her clothes and thanked Mikita for landing her them.
"By the way, where did you get that dicine from," lissa said as she sat next to Mikita and Josh.
"I bought it on one of the islands." Josh gave a mysterious reply. " I have already spent all the pills I had bought. Better not go to waste."
"I see. Thank you." The green-haired woman said.
"Thanking us for healing you after beating you, you have a thick face, kyahaha." Mikita found it funny and laughed.
lissa forced a smile and said. "No. I always want to leave the organisation. But you know the rule. If an agent left, he will die with the secrets he holds."
Josh looked at her eyes and said. "Don't be too optimistic, we have yet to be over with it."
"Still." She stretched her arms. "I always wanted to retire after gaining money, but we are all stuck there." lissa smiled at Josh, who just nodded at her, before looking at Gem.
Gem, currently, was making his report to Crocodile, sweat covering his face.
-x-X-x-
In Alabasta, Rainbase City, there was a pyramid, a big one, with a giant Golden Crocodile above it.
Since the city in which the pyramid was its centre was next to the sea, the city was one of the few rich places in Alabasta, since it contains water.
The pyramid was a casino that was owned by Crocodile.
Miss All Sunday, also known as Robin, was under the ground, wearing her casino clothes: purple leather shorts and a purple short vest, which was too short that it showed her long legs and slender belly.
Robin, currently, was hearing the report that Mr. 5 is giving to Mr. 0.
As Crocodile's personal assistant, she was responsible for all of the information and all the reports that pass by this place.
Mr 5 was telling Crocodile how he had defeated Josh, and when Crocodile asked about the body, Mr. 5 said that it was blown up, his body scattered in every direction.
Robin found herself resisting to keep her facial expression from moving.
Josh was nothing but an innocent guy, who just wanted to help Alabasta out of good intent.
'No way, I have warned him!' she shook her hand, which clenched into a fist for an instant before becoming normal.
"Miss All Sunday, how the trades of the new weapons are going." Said Crocodile, a man who is 2.4 ters tall. He was sitting at his desk, smoking a cigar and looking at Robin.
Robin, who had been surviving her whole life, could hide her feelings and nod with a professional smile.
Turning, she left to a private room.
"What the fuck!"
Opening her eyes widely, she put her hand on her mouth.
Since Josh had died, would his plan fail?
No… Josh was a man with a plan, she knew.
Holding her snail unconsciously, she called his line, not expecting anyone to pick up.
"Yes, how can I help you." Ca Josh's voice.
Robin expression changed from a semi sad into a cold one all of the sudden.
"Darn-brat, what the hell just did happen!" She cursed, expressing her urge to scold soone. Massaging her temple, she said, "We have a report that you are dead."
"Ah, about that. Mr. 5 and his partner are with us now, so, you know." Josh said in an apologetic tone.
Robin felt an urge to clench her fist. In her life, it has been a long ti since soone managed to play on her nerves — years actually.
"Fufufu… how your apology would compensate . You know, you should have called before you decide to do sothing like making a false report."
"Weird, sohow, your laugh sounded vicious. And since when did I apologise?"
"You think so."
"Co on, Ane-San," Josh called her big sis, sounding sarcastic as she tried to scold him.
"Ane-san?" Robin blinked twice.
Sohow, these words made her heart shake.
And she knows, her heart has been trained to be as cold as a stone.
Yet being called like that, made that stone lt.
"Kyahaha…" ca Mikita's voice from the snail. "He is smooth. He got you, didn't he, Ms All Sunday."
Upon hearing Mikita's remark, Robin blinked and snapped back.
"Ahem." Robin coughed. "Whatever. Now, tell what happened."
Josh then explained to her that he beat the agents, and then they joined his side. Robin listened carefully and nodded her head.
"Alright, I'll wait." She said.
"Sure."
"Aren't you going to call Ane-san next ti.."
"Are you used to it already?"
"No. Fufufufu… It just sounds cute from a little guy like you."
"Hey!" Josh retorted, making her chuckle until his next words surprised her. "I have my own big part."
"Kyahahaha." Mikita laughed as she seed to know what Josh is talking about. "All of that height went to his coc—"
"You sure? If you have confidence in your words, Let play with it one day. Let's see if that height went there."
Robin thought they are expecting her to blush and cut Mikita suddenly.
She sneered. Robin is 28 years old and had been surviving in the middle of the scums, pirates, and underworld ever since she was a child.
There was a pause for a second. Robin held her chuckle.
"Case closed." Ca Josh's voice, calm.
"Ahem." Mikita coughed. "That's…"
"So, what are you going to do now." Robin leaned on the wall, feeling proud of herself that she is teaching these young people a lesson about degeneration.
"Whatever. Anyway, Let's follow the original plan for now. I'll be heading to Alabasta, so, I may be seeing you soon."
"Sure, Mr 7." Robin nodded.
