Josh was staring deeply into Kalifa's eyes as he was walking toward the World Government's agents. 

While staring at Kalifa who was walking back with Marianne as a hostage, Josh had to admit. 

Kalifa is a very good actor that she faked her expressions perfectly. 

Walking backwards, Kalifa turned her face and stared at the group that appeared. 

She gave them a nod that shook her glasses, which she didn't need at all now since she became a vampire. 

Using Shave, Kalifa flashed next to the masked people with Marianne. 

One purpler haired man approached her, asking her what happened. 

Josh, who had enhanced hearing, could hear what Kalifa explained to the guy who is, if memory served him well, named Spandam. 

"I was tortured for sure. I acted according to the training, waiting for a chance to strike. After pretending to be mentally broken, I walked to his side, waiting for the protocol to be completed. Now that you are here, I decided to draw him for you." Kalifa said while staring at Josh from far. 

Josh was impressed by her acting. He, however, drew an angry expression, as if he is anxious about Marianne.  

"Wow, our smoking blonde is good at her job. Did you seduce him to let you go?" Spandam looked at Josh with half-closed eyes.  

"Hush. I will sue you for sexual harassment." Kalifa patted her glasses and said calmly.  

"Whatever." Spandam took few steps forward. "The Demon Child is finally mine." 

From the corners, many men wearing black hats appeared, staring at Josh and Robin. 

Shaking his head while looking around, Josh raised his head and made eye contact with Spandam who is only 10 meters away from him. 

"Give me the little girl back," Josh said, the lifeless expression on his face. 

"Give me the big woman back then," Spandam said as he took a curved sword out of his sheath and pointed toward Josh. "We know Marianne is one of your lovers, given our network info collection. How about we make a deal." 

A black Katana appeared on Josh from thin air. He put his thumb on the guard of the sword and pushed it slightly, threatening to draw at any moment. 

"How about I spare you. You leave, I leave, and everyone is happy." Josh said, looking at the masked people. 

Spandam looked at Josh, and then he busted into a laugh. "You are the funny guy for sure. We outnumber you. How about this, the stick and the carrot. Hand Robin and your charges would be dropped and you can open your casino again. Don't, and Marianne would lose an eye, before the rest of her body, slowly." 

When he said that, Kalifa, who was walking behind, put her finger on Marianne's face. 

Josh stared at her. Kalifa has to go deep enough to strike them from the back. 

Turning to Robin, Josh stared at her, while she stared back. 

It seems the World Government fears her ability to read ancient language more than they fear him. 

He smiled at her, before frowning and turning to Spardam. 

"I guess we have a deal then. Take Marianne's eye then." Josh smirked. 

Spandam opened his eyes widely. "You think I'm kidding!" 

Taking his curvy sword and walking back to Marianne's location, he told Kalifa, "hold her still." 

Stabbing forward to the little girl's eye, the blade bypassed her eyes. Spandam felt strange that he didn't feel any flesh. 

When he looked down at his blade, Spandam noticed it was wrapped by a green liquid-gas like thing. Marianne didn't look hurt at all. She didn't even scream. 

"You are… a logia user!" 

When Marianne extended her arms forward, her hands turned into a form of matter that was between liquid and gas. That green matter wrapped Spandam, sparks of electricity and bolts of lightning danced through the green cloud, electrocuting Spandam. 

*Tzzz* 

His hair becoming funny 

Marianne floated in the air, flying up and opening her arms. "Colours trap. Plasma edition!" 

Josh felt an urge to put his hand on his face. Why is she declaring the name of the attack?

From Marianne's hands, plasma was unleashed, making shapes with different colours. 

Marianne, because of her new ability, could control the shapes to make a colour trap more effective, with more creativity and more shapes allowed. She is no longer limited by the brushes and the colours. 

Almost everyone lifted their heads, staring up, and somehow, the colours took over their minds, making them feel relaxed, sad, or recalling a memory. 

Before they could realise it, Josh unsheathed his sword. Using Shave, he started moving around the black hats guys, slashing everyone on his way. 

Since Josh was a living creature in this world, he didn't enjoy the luxury of censoring. Blood flew up, limbs fell, and the blood smell filled the air. 

Robin, on the other hand, crossed her arms, making more arms appear around the agents, her eyes deadly sharp at the men of the World Government. Many of the agents started falling. Although they are well trained, Robin, with her new strength boost, had more advantages than she had in the past. So, when the agents found their necks being held by strong arms, they started falling. 

Of course, Robin didn't manage to get them all. Some figures flashed away before she could do anything. 

"Nico Robin, prepare yourself." 

Behind Robin, appeared a huge guy, around 5 meters tall. He was cracking his fists and making a small shadow boxing, making his way toward her. This guy seemed to be unaffected by the hypnosis Marine had made. 

Before the big guy could do anything, Mikita appeared behind him, using Shave. 

The moment she clashed with his body, she extended her feet and kicked his back with a heaviness of 15 tons and a speed of a bullet. The guy was sent flying away, tied like a paper on his back. 

Robin smiled at Mikita before she looked. 

Not only Josh was slashing many, but Kalifa also seemed to take advantage of this plan and moved around. Her blue eyes turned red as she was stabbing, with her fingers, her supposed allies. 

Her victims, of course, were the guys who wore masks. 

Top assassin agents like herself. 

Although Kalifa used to be one of the non-strongest agents here, that changed the moment Josh cursed her with blood lust and made her a vampire. 

If she has to assume, she can say 5000-6000 Dorki, better than Lucci without his tiger form. 

One can just imagine what would happen in case Josh used that Devil Ability on someone like Kiddo. 

The world surely would be destroyed. 

Moving at a speed she never thought she would be able to move at, Kalifa took down four of her previous mates, her hands covered in blood that she usually finds delicious. 

"Kalifa." 

As she appeared in front of someone known as Kaku, the second strongest in CP9, Kalifa kicked. However, the latter managed to dodge by jumping high and he took his swords out. 

Looking up toward Kaku, Kalifa just smirked. The fangs of the vampire appeared. Behind Kaku's original spot, three of four buildings were cut in half and flew up. 

"You are not Kalifa!" While shocked by her new power, Kaku held two swords, flipped back and landed on the top of one far house, after moonwalking there. 

"Only noticed now? I thought you are smarter. Did Water 7 time made you stupid?" Kalifa said, throwing her glasses. Everyone knows that she uses them to see. But now she doesn't need them. She then jumped high and followed him, ready to end his life, blood lust taking over her. 

Kaku, on the other hand, although he knew her, he is still professional. 

He can kill her with cold blood.

Quickly, he waved his swords in the air and made a dancing move, throwing many fast compressed air blades from the swords and his legs. 

Kalifa dodged, depending on her better senses. 

However, as she got near Kaku, one hidden air blade managed to slash the upper part of her arm. 

Kalifa kept moving, while that part started regenerating and kicked on Kaku's face. 

Kaku dodged down, putting his hands on the ground, and danced, sending sharp projectiles to Kalifa's legs. 

She jumped up slightly and kicked at his face, sending a sharp air blade that cut his eyes. 

She blinded Kaku, who blindly moved back quickly. 

"You are not that strong…"Kaku said, his eyes bleeding, while his hearing focusing on any possible movement around him. 

"My lust got stronger." Kalifa appeared behind him, her mouth on his neck. Before Kaku could realise it, his blood was sucked off, and he fell. 

Kalifa spat the blood. "Josh's blood's better to taste." 

She looked toward Lucci, who had fallen for the colour trap and now was awakened. 

"Enough!" 

Came a strong voice from one strong masked man, who was around 212cm yelled in a strong voice. 

His figure vanished into thin air. 

The next moment, next to Marianne, he appeared. Lucci, tall man with curly black hair and a chin beard. 

His coat and mask were thrown in the air, showing Lucci in a black tuxedo. 

Extending his hands toward Marianne, who was a Logia user now, an invisible sphere formed. Although logia are immune to physical attacks, what he intended to unleash wasn't a physical attack. 

Of course, the smirking little girl was unaware of that and was ready to take it. 

"Six King Gun." With that declaration, Rob Lucci unleashed a very strong shockwave from his fists. 

All of the sudden, Josh appeared in front of him, holding Lucci's fists.

Lucci smirked as the shockwave hit Josh's body and went behind him.  Josh's hair floated back from the strength of the shockwave. Although Josh's absorbed most of the shockwave, Marianne got hit by some of it. That 'some of it' had sent her flying many meters flying before she could regain her balance. 

Marianne, floating, panted and looked at Lucci. That guy, despairer her being logia user, was about to kill her. Just a small shockwave had almost killed her, how about Josh then. 

Marianne observed as both Josh and Lucci landed on their feet, blood gushing out of Josh's mouth as his internal organs were destroyed, and he wasn't a rubber man. Josh was still having his hands on Lucci's fists as stared up. 

Lucci said with a cold face. "The Gambler. What you tasted now was the ultimate technique of the Six Superhuman martial arts. Rest in peace." 

"That hurts for sure." Josh's blood lips curled up into a smirk. He lifted his head and looked at Lucci. "How about another round…"
