“Say it, I won’t do it again.”

“What if I don’t.”

“Then you will have to know what turtle life is.”

Josh had a small frown and a drop of sweat on his face. Currently, he was walking on their stop island, Mikita on his back, and her weight is slightly more than a thousand kilos.

That what he got from teasing her too much earlier.

“Just a few days, and I’ll handle you.” Josh continued walking while looking around.

“What. Excuse me, I didn’t hear you well.” Mikita started increasing her weight, making Josh barely able to move.

Josh paused, took a deep breath, and said. “The part responsible for ejaculating exists in the spinal cord. Break that, and your boyfriend would be impotent.”

“Wait!” Mikita suddenly became one kilo. She looked at Josh, “how do you know that.”

“I read articles about health,” Josh said. It’s something he had come across in med magazines in his previous life.

“I’m sorry.” Mikita quickly apologised.

“Don’t take it for real.” Josh just smiled. She teased him. However, when she knew she is playing with his babies, she stopped.

Anyway, the two of them moved within the Whiskey Peak. They met a lot of people. There was a huge woman, really that huge, with muscles as big as Mr. 1, dressing as a Priestess. However, it was all fake, since this island belongs to Baroque Works as well. Next to that woman was a man, with long blond hair, curly and making circles as it went down. Josh somehow recognised them from the Anime. But he barely remembered their name.

Well. One Piece is too long that you would forget some arcs. Mikita walked around, saying that she would get the supplies. Meanwhile, Josh noticed that the others on this island showed respect since he is agent Mr 7.

‘Though, I prefer if it were 007.’

Josh thought childishly but looked around with a dead serious face that made people not wanting to mess with him.

While sitting alone, waiting, Josh noticed someone approaching him.

Turning, he saw a girl with average height, 170 cm, light blue hair that was tied in a long ponytail, looking at him with her big brown eyes.

‘Vivi… what is she doing here.’

–

Vivi.

She looked at Mr Seven, who was sitting down, not showing any hostility on his face. In fact, he seemed to be waiting for her to say anything and looked deeply at her with his blue eyes.

‘Does he knows me?’ she thought.

Josh had been the person who looked at her for too long at the camp. As the princess of Alabasta, some people may recognise her and blow her cover. Even though she is 15 now and did some changes to her look, she needed to make sure that Mr 7 now doesn’t know about her.

“Are you going to stare at me all day?” Mr. 7 said.

“Excuse me… If I may ask…”

“Yes.”

“Do I know you from somewhere?” Vivi asked quietly.

Josh looked around, to the people, or rather, the Baroque Works followers, before looking at one of the people she knows.

He put his hands next to his hips and raised his head.

Vivi had been familiar with body language. She could tell easily that Josh, for sure, knew her. He was aware that showing her identity is dangerous, so he looked around to anyone who would hear.

“I have no idea,” Josh said, before looking at her.

“May I sit?” she asked.

Josh raised his hands. “My partner may not like that.”

‘I will make my distance,’ Vivi looked around. She grabbed a near box and sat on it, opposing Mr. 7, who was as mysterious as one may think.

“Do I look familiar to you?” Josh asked.

“No. I was about to ask you the same question.” Vivi shook her head. She then asked. “Where are you originally from.”

Grand Line is big. People around Alabasta may recognise her, or from surrounding countries, since she had been travelling with her father to neighbour countries when she was young.

If Josh knows anything, then it may end her career.

“You really want to ask such a question here?”

Josh stared forward.

Vivi swallowed her words. ‘He knows me!’ she was certain now.

But, still, why didn’t he blow her cover. After all, she is a spy on the Baroque Works. Or could it be that Josh thinks that she betrayed her home and she is loyal to Alabasta?

No. She has to stay here, become an agent, and then see what Baroque Works are doing in her country.

Vivi took a deep breath. She has to flirt, just to make sure he wouldn’t move, and then draw information from him.

After all, she had learnt a dancing technique, a seductive one, which would make men frozen. It was her guarantee to climb the rank. That’s why she thought that she can draw information out of him, only by acting seductively.

“Come on. No need to act tough. You need to relax.” Vivi drew a seductive half-smile, her hand slowly approaching him. “I can teach you how. Just let the tense feeling go away.” She whispered.

Josh, all of the sudden, slapped her hand away.

“Ouch.” Vivi held her hand and put it next to her mouth. “Why did you do that!”

“I just saved your life, no need to thank me.”

Josh turned his head and looked at Mikita, who got out of the door, some guys holding big boxes with them and heading to their boat.

Vivi looked around, seeing Ms Valentine walking and having a smirk on her face.

Vivi was about to roar how can this be considered saving her life.

However, she understood the moment Ms Valentine put her hands on Josh’s chest and kissed him, saying, “I’ll make it up for you, later.”

“Mm… fine.” Josh replied to Mikita, before turning to Vivi.

“Well, talk to me later. I need to lift few things.”

“Who is she?” Ms Valentine turned to Vivi and half-closed her eyes.

Vivi started sweating. High agents are known for their strength. It was her luck Josh slapped her hand. One must know that some women can kill if you mess with their guy.

“Just a girl, she thinks knows me from somewhere.” Josh turned and grabbed Mikita’s shoulder with one hand, and lifted one big box above his head.

“Fine,” Mikita said. “But how. You yourself said you don’t know where you are from.”

“I can’t remember, you know.” Josh shrugged his shoulder.

Vivi blinked twice upon hearing that last sentence from the far. Mr. 7 don’t know where he is from. Did he lose memory?

“All I need is to who I am with,” Josh said as he smiled at Mikita.

Valentine just turned her head and smiled, blushing slightly.

It was night, Josh was resting on the deck of his ship, ready to move.

Currently, he had some supplies for them to move. Weapons, sleeping potions, poison, and of course, a lot of whiskeys.

Meanwhile, Mikita noticed a certain blue-haired girl approaching their ship.

She turned to Josh. “That girl is approaching.”

“I know. Let me see.”

Josh jumped off the boat.

“What are you doing here?” He asked Vivi.

“I think by this point, you know me.”

“Do you think so?”

“I’m a princess,” Vivi said looking at his face.

Josh didn’t flinch or show surprise.

It was a sign he knew.

“Good for you.” He turned and was about to leave.

“I need your help, do you know anything about Alabasta… or anything related to the boss of Baroque Works.”

Vivi was risking her life here. However, since Josh didn’t expose her, she gave him the benefit of doubt.

Josh, turning, looked at her, and thought for a brief. He adjusted his collar and said.

“I may have information or two.” Josh thought about the most thing that can benefit his mission, the real one. “But, what can you do to get it.”
