《Diamond Jozu (English)》Chapter eighteen: Diamond Jozu

...
"Don't kill me. I'm leaving immediately."
"Me too"
Seeing that Joz was about to act, some people threw down their guns and decided to flee. They saw the Mafia as a job and therefore did not see why they should put their lives on the line for it.
Like dominoes, more and more people threw their weapons to the ground to show their surrender.
Of course, other people were loyal to the Bena family and angrily said, "Pick up your guns."
"Yes, he's all alone."
"We will have it to wear."
However, Joz motioned to his men to kill them (by a bullet). This killing had cooled the atmosphere, so there were more and more people scared.
"If you don't want to go, stay," Joz said coldly.
With these words, Joz slowly transformed his body into a diamond and was ready to take action.
"Put down your gun! Do you want to die?"
"I'll leave right away, don't kill me."
"Quickly, we must flee."
Several people threw down their weapons and fled at full speed. Other people tried to convince most people.
"The Bena family is finished!"
"It's true Mark is dead; without him, nobody can stop him."
Everyone had left, leaving only weapons on the ground.
"LIVE THE CAPTAIN"
"amazing .... the captain is amazing."
David and the others had their faces full of admiration.
Joz laughed and said: "Take this guy, and bring him to the prison of the boat, don't feed him too much. He mustn't get his strength back."
Joz knew that Mark was exhausted and therefore had very little chance of freeing himself if he was malnourished. After all, alone, the zoan had this ability.
"Yes, Captain," said David.

José carefully counted the Berries that were in the briefcases: "The count is there, a pleasure to do business with you."
"HAHAHA, the honor is mine. You have decided to trade with my family," replied Bernard with a smile on his face even though he had just lost 1.3 billion Berry. With all these exchanges, he will be able to have connections with the Navy of West Blue.
In truth, if José had not come personally, Bernard would indeed have tricked him. José could only act alone because if the Navy finds out, he will be executed. But unfortunately, this older man had come in person, and Bernard knew how strong this man was. According to Mark, it would be challenging for him to kill him.
Suddenly, Bolubulubulu Bululululubulu
The snail phone rang again.
"What now ?" said Bernard coldly.
"Sorry to bother you, Boss, but Mark was killed, and the majority of the family ran away," the person said with a panicked look.
"YOU ARE Joking, I HOPE ???" Bernard roared, getting up.
"That's right .... DIAMOND PUNCH ... Noooo ah-"
The snail phone hung up after that.
Bernard was as if struck by lightning. He was so shocked and embarrassed that he didn't know what to say and do.
José frowned at the conversation: it seems these pirates are more challenging than expected.
He was still shocked inside, and it was still one of the five families of West Blue.
Even though this one was falling and was undoubtedly the weakest, beating it was not easy. Especially with Mark, José had to admit one thing. Mark was undoubtedly one of the strongest people in all of West Blue of the new age.
(Author: that thanks to its fruit, it would have been the same if a civilian ate the fruit of lightning or any logia)

Mark had a reputation for being invincible, and he was called 'The Iron Wall' or 'Iron Wall.' Rumored to have no fear of bullets or swords, he was invulnerable and had colossal strength.
But despite everything, José knew he was much stronger than Mark, even with old age.
(Author: According to Oda, an individual would reach his maximum potency at 40 and keep it for ten years and start to decrease in strength after the age of 50, except in exceptional cases like BigMom or Kaido)
"Shit!" Bernard's face was very dark. He was finished; his family had just been wiped out, he had lost his best man, and the others were mostly gone.
"Commander, now that we're stuck here, can you help us?" Said Bernard, regaining his composure. The only person who could beat these pirates was José.
José was silent; he got up and then left with a dark face.
'These pirates have just destroyed his market.'
If we see him trading weapons, he will become a dead man.
He, therefore, chooses to kill them.
Of course, if the pirates were powerful, he would run away. He is not going to risk his life for that, especially since the Navy will certainly not consider the statement of a bit of pirate of West Blue.
Seeing José leave, Bernard knew what he was going to do, and if he ran away, he would tell the Navy about his business with him: If he fell, him too.
"Thank you, Commander, for advocating for justice. Don't worry; as long as this pirate is solved, the Bena family will be your most loyal friends in the future," Bernard exclaimed and continued: "We will add 200 million to the transaction."
Hearing this, José was slightly better. The status of the Bena family was at its lowest, but the money had made it quickly go up.
José came out and walked outside the mansion. Bernard followed him gently behind.
Going outside, they met Joz, who had just entered.
Joz stood in front of the two and said, "Which of you two is the head of the Bena family?"
Bernard looked at Joz's fierce demeanor and replied, "I'm the head of the Bena family; what do you want with me?"
"Perfect!" Joz nodded in satisfaction and looked at the older man in front of Bernard.
Although the two were together, José seemed to be the Boss and the last asset of the Bena family. Bernard was almost hidden behind him.
"Tsk Gamin, you are new to piracy. You should have developed discreetly. Now you are going to die stupidly," said José contemptuously.
"Who is going to die, you?" Joz chuckled lightly.
"Arrogant" A new pirate is arrogant in front of him.
Boom
Joz rushed over to José, and the ground he was on had just cracked.
"You seek to die, so be it."
José's cold gaze could have thrilled West Blue's greatest pirates.

Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.

Joshua Durand has always lived in someone else’s shadow, a side character in someone else’s show.His brother was the real hero of the tale, or he was until his ‘friends’ stabbed him in the back.Now though, he’s got a chance to step into the spotlight, as long as he’s willing to make a deal with the devil.He doesn’t know if this is the right decision or the wrong one, but what he does know is “It’s showtime!” --- This is forum quest story taking place in the same city/setting as my other stories: The Huntsman's Quest and Hacking Reality stories meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
