Gran Tesoro

It had taken Katakuri and Crocodile a month to locate the floating casino. In order to gain access to the floating paradise, an invitation needed to be sent to them. Luckily, Brulee had provided them with access to her mirror world through a mirror located in the main bedroom of the ship. Neither Katakuri and Crocodile stayed there as they chose to sleep in other rooms.

Within the mirror world, the room contained all the treasure they have gathered throughout their journey, bounty, rewards, etc.

So in order to gain passage to Gran Tesoro, they had to start spending large amounts of money on different, local casinos.

Finally after hitting up multiple locations, an invitation was given to Monet, who happened to be betting a large stack.

Now that they obtained the invitation, it was time to enter the casino.

"Everyone ready?" Katakuri looked different, still wearing his signature scarf to cover his mouth, but he now wore a dark black suit.

"Sure thing." Monet wore a long green dress that showed her ample breast. There was a slit on her right leg that revealed the right side of her butt, enough to keep the men interested in what's underneath.

"I'm always ready." Crocodile was used to wearing formal attire, though he would not let up on the cigar in his mouth. It was a casino, they were allowed to smoke indoors. Mr. 1 Machvise and Mr.2 Gladius wore their own sharp attires.

"Let's go." The Strawhat members were given a log post to find their way to the floating casino.

It took them a day to arrive and it was magnificent. Despite their facade, deep down, they were impressed by the fortress.

They made their way inside the casino and found thousands of rich individuals gabling their money away. Thousands of machines, games, and tables, it was a sight to behold.

"Welcome to Gran Tesoro, my name is Baccarat, I trust that your journey was uneventful?" In the entrance, an elegant and beautiful red haired lady greeted them. Beside her was a muscular fellow, possibly the head of security.

"It was." Responded Crocodile.

"Sir Crocodile, we've heard so much about you. And Dogtooth, what company." They knew who they were but did they know where their allegiance laid?

"We received an invitation to this Grand Casino, we would like to make money." Monet took center stage as Crocodile and Katakuri was attracting too much attention.

"Right, well come on and follow me, I will introduce you to the games." So Baccarat led their group around the main floor of the casino, pointing out some fun machines, and table games. Though really, the group was looking for one particular man, a man who made gold with his hands. "And that concludes our floor tour, any questions?"

"When will we meet the owner? It was stated in the invitation that he personally invited us, we'd like to meet our host." Stated Monet.

"Ah of course, that can be arranged. But for now, do enjoy yourself. Someone will also provide you the keys to your rooms, as well as a voucher for an all you can eat exquisite meal created by the best chef's of the sea."

"You wouldn't happen to have donuts would you?" It was his one weakness, donuts was his love. Katakuri and donuts were synonymous.

"Only the best of course mister Dogtooth." Baccarat responded with a sweet smile. She then took a bow and made her way to greet other guests. The group non verbally separated.

...

The group found different areas around the casino and began playing, observing, and learning what they were up against.

"Hundreds of armed personnel, well trained." Machvise was playing a slot machine, he was breaking even. He spoke softly to a mirror device that allowed them to communicate. He found many armed men entering a particular back door. Probably their weapon cache. He was caught looking by the big guy from earlier, so he casually returned to his game.

"No blindspot on the cameras, everything is covered." Gladius was situated at the bar, drinking bourbon. Suddenly, a blue haired beauty sat beside him. She was a beauty, a sight to behold and there was plenty of space in the bar but she chose to sit next to him.

"The usual for me please." She called towards the bartender. She then turned her attention to Gladius who became stiff at her gaze. "Hello there stranger, join me in room 318." The lady winked at him, grabbed her drink and left the scene, emphasizing each step with a sway. Wow.

"Uh, I'm off radar for a bit." Gladius put his mirror away and tried to locate the room which she instructed him to go to.

"Fucken Gladius...Damn..." Crocodile whispered as he observed Gladius break position. He will receive 10 times the usual training menu. "...visual on a tiny raccoon looking thing speaking with the big meat head security."

"Copy, moving in." Monet took a sip of her lemon drink and began to make her way to the big guy and the small racoon guy. "Gentleman, I believe I am lost." They were immediately encompassed by her appearance, she was a beautiful woman after all.

"Yes ma'am what can I do you for?" Asked the Big guy to which the smaller guy stepped on his foot.

"Shut up Dice. What is it you need miss?" Followed up by the smaller guy.

"I seem to have lost my room key, can you assist me?" Monet bent down slightly, revealing more skin than either man could have expected. They both were visually red from her actions but they led her to the help desk where they personally assisted her in finding her room key. Doing this mission with the Strawhats was fun, thought the new member of the armada.

"Move, move." As the head of security was occupied Katakuri, and Crocodile moved forward, casually making their way to the door which the armed men were going in and out. Machvise stayed back to watch the surrounding.

As soon as Katakuri went through the door, several armed individuals were shocked and began to fire at him. So he brought forth a mochi wall that blocked the incoming bullet. Crocodile was the next to enter and immediately sent out a sand sabre, piercing through the kevlar armor of the enemy force.

"I had it." Katakuri said as he dropped his mochi wall.

"Yeah yeah." And the duo continued forward. They made quick works of the guards as they were nothing but common thugs.

Back with Gladius, he finally found the room which he was invited to. He checked his breath and fixed his suit. He then knocked on the door three times.

The door opened on its own, which was curious, but he made his way inside. That was a mistake as the blue haired beauty appeared from above, curling her legs on his neck and twisting her body a certain way to bring him down on the ground. Before he could retaliate, she already had a knife on his neck.

"Shishishi. I am Carina and they call me the Phantom Thief. And you and your merry band of idiots will help me overtake Gran Tesoro and its mountain of riches. Got it?"


With Crocodile and Katakuri

The two commanders were deep into the back operations of the floating casino. Though something was odd, they were still not able to find the man they were looking for.

"Alright, these losers are not what we came here for, where is the main man?" The duo were ascending a spiral staircase. They had located the main tower, who would have thought there would be a convenient map with the places of interest.

...

"Keep alert." Katakuri stood in front of a giant golden double door. Though before being able to open the door, it swung open for them.

The man they were looking for got the jump on them.

"Hello Dogtooth." A green haired man with a pink suit was immediately in front of them. How the hell did this guy get in front of him so quickly. Then the man touched him and his body immediately converted into gold.

"And Sir Crocodile."Crocodile tried to attack the green haired man with his sand sable, to no avail. He too met his match by turning into gold.

In an instant, the First Commander and the Sixth Commander were handedly defeated by one Gild Tesoro.

Atleast that's what would have happened, luckily, Katakuri had future sight.

...

"Jump back!" As in his vision, the door immediately swung open, revealing Gild Tesoro.

"Hello Dogtooth and Sir Crocodile." He said, in the same manner that he did earlier. Though surprised that Katakuri and Crocodile were able to avoid his golden touch.

"Any contact with him will turn you into gold." Called Katakuri as he summoned two donut mochi on his side. Crocodile created a swirl of sand around him, creating an offensive and defensive shell.

"You are quick, I'll give you that. Now what can I do for you, gentleman?" Gild disintegrated on the golden floor and reemerged on his bar, pouring himself a drink. Initially he wanted to suspend them in golden encasement, but talking is fine for now.

"We were given orders to recruit you." Gild directed the both of them to sit down, to which they agreed to, but their guard was still up.

"Oh? By who?" He swirled his drink and offered them a drink to which they both declined, they were trying to read the pink suited man.

"Captain Mugiwara, the next King of Pirates." Declared Katakuri to which Gild took exceptionally funny.

"King of Pirates you say? That is laughable." He took a high chair and placed it in front of the two men who were sizing him up. "So let me tell you something, you both wreak havoc with my staff, break into my tower, and expect me to consider such an absurd offer." He then got up and began to walk away.

Katakuri and Crocodile shared a look. Suddenly a massive hole emerged from below the two commanders, attempting to sink them through the tower floors. "Read that Dogtooth." Gild stated in reference to Katakuri's obvious superior observation haki. The entire tower was covered in gold, so much so that the place was basically his personal playground.

Katakuri began to fall into the hole, rapidly descending several stories. First and foremost he was shocked that he wasn't able to see it, he kicked himself mentally for missing the trap.

And now he had to act quick or he would fall on the bottom floor. His two mochi donuts followed his descend, so he launched two mochi fists out of the mochi donut to cling him onto the wall. Luck was on his side that day as he was able to stop his rapid descent, stopping right before he would hit the ground.

He looked up to the several stories in which he fell, his blood boiling. 'How dare he mock me.' No more playing around for the first commander as it was now time to knock some sense into the golden user.

Though strange that Crocodile was not with him.

For the sixth commander remained on the top floor, morphing into his sand form to remain afloat.

"You got to do more than that to get rid of me asshole." Crocodile had a cocky smirk on his face as he floated in the air. Gild was amused, though it wasn't really in the sand user's interest to stay in the golden room.

"Look sir Crocodile, I appreciate the offer but take a hint and get out of here. I am not interested." Gild, in his arrogance took a seat on his golden couch and continued to drink his very expensive whiskey.

"See I was just going here cause I was intrigued, now you've pissed me off, so I'm going to beat the shit out of you." Crocodile descended into the floor and immediately unleashed two massive sand tornadoes both of which quickly made their way to Gild. The gold user simply brought up a golden wall to block the incoming attack. Then he chained it with two massive golden fists emerging from the walls of the room. They were aimed at Crocodile but he managed to turn his body into sand, phasing the hit through his body.

Crocodile reformed on top of the collided golden fist with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Tsk tsk.." Suddenly, Gild appeared from the golden fist and touched the leg of the sand user. In an instant his entire body was swallowed in gold. With his carelessness, disadvantageous position within the golden room, and stubbornness, the sixth division commander of the Strawhat Grand Armada has turned into gold. His golden bust was a sight to behold, powerful and captivating. Gild admired it for a moment before deciding to ultimately destroy it. "Goodbye."

Though his golden fist never connected with the golden statue of sir Crocodile. A mochi wall swallowed his punch before making impact. Gild jumped back to create some separation, looking over his opponent.

Katakuri had returned to settle the score.


With Monet

"Hey Sugar, how are things with Red Leg?" Monet had been speaking to a mirror at their daily scheduled time to meet up. Monet had been in contact with her sister just to check up on her and see how she was doing.

"It's awesome but I really miss you, anyway today Sanji actually cooked me a nice meal. That was nice of him. But the head chef is kicking our butts in training."

"I miss you too baby girl. Well do as you are told, I imagine you living there is better for you to keep you away from danger." She relayed to her sister.

"Yeah right, we've always been in the center of danger, why start worrying about that now sis?" She had a good point but Monet did not want to take the risk any further. She wanted the best for her sister, and her safety was her top priority.

"Look Sugar, we have a good thing with the Strawhats, it has only been months since we've joined them but they are treating us better than Doffy ever did. With him we are safe, as long as you are safe then I'm good with anything. Plus you are a child, so live like a child along with Baby 5 and this Sanji fellow you keep telling me about."

"Okay sis, I understand. Well I have to go now, Head Chef is very strict about training time. Bye! I love you."

"I love you too." She responded with a smile before putting away the mirror.

Presently, Monet was in a room, occupied by a frozen Dice and Tanaka. She had brought the two of them over to her room and immediately sent out a wave of powdered snow, enough so that they were immediately frozen in place.

A knock on the front door was surprising, but she cautiously made her way to the door. She peeked through the eye hole and found Gladius on the other side. She opened the door and looked at the explosion user with confusion.

"Hey sorry to barge in like this but I have someone I need you to meet." Gladius looked around not finding the blue haired woman that accompanied him.

"Interesting how quickly you disposed of them, you must be one of the top tier commanders within the strawhats?" Said blue haired bombshell was already inside the room, admiring Monet's work on Dice and Tanka. "Our only problem now is Baccarat and Gild."

"We? Excuse me who the hell are you?" Monet was very confused and Gladius was not helping in terms of explaining.

"Oh I'm sorry, I was actually invited by your friend." Carina pointed at Gladius.

"Forced is the correct word really." He said with a slight smile to which Carina chuckled.

"Anyway since he obviously didn't tell you anything, I have come to request your assistance in shutting down this joint. But I'm going to be straight with you, I really just want the wealth buried within Gild's volt."

"Okay how do we know we can believe what you are saying?" Asked Monet.

"Because I could have set off the alarm right when your friends entered the back office staff, but I didn't." She pulled out a small red button that is apparently used to set off a ship wide alarm to notify the staff of an intruder. Carina took a seat beside the frozen Dice and Tanaka and invited the duo to take the chair in front of her.

"I'm listening." Monet did take a seat while Gladius continued to stand.

"Your friends are engaged in a battle with Gild at this moment. Crocodile is solid gold right now while Dogtooth is still active that's all I know on that end. Meanwhile your buddy on the casino floor is carefully being watched by Baccarat. What is going to happen now is we will go through the back office through my knowledge of multiple passageways and shut down the power grid. It is then you can go do whatever while I claim the treasure. Any questions?" Both members of the strawhat shaked their heads. "Okay lets..."

Though Carina never went to shoot off her mouth any further as she too was turned into a human popsicle. Monet had her arms extended and shot out snow at a rate so quick it turned Carina into icicle.

"All we needed to know is that Katakuri is dealing with Gild. Everything else falls into place."

"That is true, so what do we do now?" Gladius admired the frozen forms of the three people before him.

"I have to maintain their frozen state, so I need you to get Machvise, and lure Baccarat in here. We'll hold her too."

Several minutes later…

Three people looked at the frozen form of the fours members of the Gran Tesoro.

"Good job." Machvise said.

"Yeah you did well." Gladius commented.

"All's in a day's work." Monet continued to supply the four frozen figures with a stream of cool snow. This way, they will maintain their cryofreeze state.

Suddenly, heavy banging was against their hotel room door, a loud voice booming demanding for the door to open. Monet looked at Machvise and Gladius to understand her non verbal order.

Machvise slammed his hands against his palm and Gladius cracked his neck. The two sixth division members made their way outside where they were met with a sea of soldiers along the hallway.

And they immediately went to work. Loaded one ton punches were sending bodies through walls, exploding bullets were blowing in people's faces. 100, 200, didn't matter, Machvise and Gladius were handling them easily.


Strawhat Grand Armada First Commander 'Dogtooth' Katakuri vs Gran Tesoro owner 'Gold Emperor' Gild Tesoro

Katakuri had returned from his embarrassing descent to the bottom floor. On one arm he held the golden statue of Crocodile, and on another his hands were extended to create the mochi wall.

"You made a mockery of me Gild. I shall repay you a thousand fold." Katakuri declared. He then jumped back and placed Crocodile's golden statue along the outside of the golden room, where Gild won't have an opportunity to mess with it. Just to make sure, Katakuri encased the statue in a mochi cocoon.

"Fine then, have it your way Dogtooth." Gild ascended from the ground, lifting himself up in a wave of gold. He was atop his tower of gold and yet, Katakuri stared at him defyingly.

In an instant, the match was underway. Katakuri had amassed four donut that floated around him, each one having the capability of unleashing his hardened mochi shaped fist. Combine this with coordination of his own limps and he had punches being sent out in multiple directions of the gold user.

Gild manifested his own wave of golden fist, though his gold was slower at manifesting than Katakuri's mochi.

A flurry of punches were sent out by Katakuri, harnessing his Captain's signature gum gatling. Gild tried to match him with his own series of punches but his gold was not quick enough, disintegrating quickly by the rapid rate of which Katakuri was going.

"GAH!" Gild exclaimed pushing himself, no longer did he have the advantage of surprise. Katakuri's eyes had a bright red gleam about them. He was….he was reading his every move! But how, he got the job on him earlier, how is Dogtooth reading him now.

Though the secret was, Katakuri was pissed off to the point that he did not allow himself to make the same mistake twice. He was First Division Commander of the Strawhat Grand Armada, no way should he be made a mockery of by fucken Gild Tesoro.

The wave of his hardened mochi kept coming at the Gold Emperor. Before even landing on the floor, Katakuri already manifested a mochi hammer to knock him up once more. Gild attempted to gather his gold from all over the room with no luck as Katakuri was too fast.

He was finally allowed to fall on the ground and he bounced to his feet, though he could fall any minute.

He saw it, he saw it all, an incoming golden whirlpool under him...jumped out of the way.

A golden spike headed on the back of his head, easily averted by a mochi ball to cap the spike.

It comically bounced off the back of his head as the mochi ball absorbed most of the impact. Gild was getting desperate now, earlier his calm composure was due to his cockiness and belief that there was no person that could touch him. Marines have tried and ultimately left him alone. Donquixote tried to murder him for stealing the Goru Goru no Mi and ultimately decided to partner with him. He monopolized the market by amassing 10 percent of the world's wealth. His influence could rival that of a world noble, and yet here he was on the end of his wits at the hands of Dogtooth.

Gild saw his empire fall before his eyes as a mochi spike headed towards his face. Years of hard work, manipulating the rich people of the world to give him their money. Earning the title of the Gold Emperor, there it was coming his way, a mochi spike. He dropped on both knees accepting his faith. No way was he beating an enraged Dogtooth.

Memories of his pass circled his taught as the end came near. 'Hey Stella, I know I haven't been a good person, but I hope you give me a chance once more...I'll meet you soon…'

And yet as his eyes closed, there was no pain, no feeling. He slowly opened his eyes as only his green shades fell from the crest of his nose. The mochi spike stopped directly in front of his forehead, Katakuri standing before him, stopping the spike from reaching between his eyes.

"What?" He should be dead, he already accepted his faith.

"Captain is really interested in your service. We need ships and you seem to be the best man to fund our expenses. So once more I offer, join the Strawhat Grand Armada, serve under Captain Mugiwara, the future king of pirates."

"I…" He looked at the palm of his hands, the spike no longer threatening to pierce him. He contemplated his life, his purpose. He survived almost being nearly made a slave, watched the love of his life die, succumbed to his demon which happened to be gambling, and yet he was never satisfied. Would this be the answer Stella? Send me a sign….

Then as if an angel hand wrote a message from his dearly beloved Stella, a piece of golden coin fell in front of him, dropping from the balcony which had been destroyed due to their battles. A coin which happened to be an honest gold which he obtained in effort to free his Stella. Tears streamed his eyes at the sign. She wanted him to try and be honest once more...therefore. "...I..."


An hour later...

It took some time for the staff to be cleared. Gild had arranged his group and the Strawhats to meet in the lobby. There a poker table was used to be the table for their meeting.

Crocodile still looked pissed for being turned into a golden mochi cocoon thing. Monet sat while Katakuri, Gladius and Machvise remained standing.

Across from them were Gild, who had both hands under his chin. Dice, Tanaka, and Baccarat stood by him while Carina hung to the side as Gild was made aware of her attempted coup.

"I have decided to join the Strawhat Grand Armada." Gild broke the silence and announced his decision. His group were surprised by his decision, as he was never one to give off the vibe of servitude. "You are all free to choose what you will do now." He then got up and took his chair to be placed on the side of the Strawhats. The former staff of the Gran Tesoro looked at one another, with Dice stepping forward.

"If you are joining them, then I will on one condition. Someone will need to beat me in arm wrestling!" Said the muscle man flexing his massive biceps, he was still angry for being frozen solid for a long period of time, this was his way of penting out his anger.

"I'll take you-iin" Machvise stepped up though Crocodile held him back with his golden hook. He didn't say anything as he stepped forward, meeting the right arm of Dice with his own. The two then stared at one another before dice exerted all his strength in pushing down Crocodile's arms. Though he would not budge. Just like a switch, Crocodile slammed Dice right through the table, smashing it into pieces, claiming victory. He then walked back to his spot and continued to smoke his cigar. Dice trembled as he was finally able to get back up on his feet.

"I'm in." He gave a weak thumbs up before falling flat on his face.

"You good?" Katakuri commented to Crocodile, who nodded his head. He was good now.

"Ahem..if Dice is going then I'm in." Despite Tanaka's small stature, he was able to drag Dice into the side of the Strawhats. This left Baccarat and Carina.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm good. I like to work for myself." Carina winked, grabbed a sack of treasure and left the meeting. Gild didn't even bother stopping her. The treasure she ran away with was measley 0.00001% of his entire fortune. Everyone turned their attention to Baccarat who was the last person to make her decision.

"I'll join inspite of myself. I feel an overwhelming luck with your group." Which then brought her forward, crossing the invisible line that separated the Gran Tesoro crew with the Strawhat's.

"Set course to Water 7. Our Captain is waiting." Katakuri stated simply to which Tesoro complied.

All aboard to Water 7.


Water 7

A month had passed of the Gran Tesoro hauling it's massive structure all the way to Water 7. In the time that they spent together, the Strawhats and the Gran Tesoro crew bonded exponentially. Crocodile had settled his grudge with Gild by sparring with him and beating the living shit out of him...and no Gild was not holding back.

Monet and Baccarat shared tales of their life having a difficult upbringing. Turns out they both had to use their body as a means to feed themselves. Baccarat took interest in Sugar as she joined Monet in their daily calls with one another. Sugar immediately took a liking of her and wants to meet her in the future.

Machvise and Dice have become workout buddies, with Tanaka becoming their personal trainer. His duties were to research their workout and to push them to their limits. Dice has improved so much that he could slightly push Machvise in his one ton state.

Katakuri and Gild spent their time in the ship's control center, where they exchange stories of their life and journey. Gild took real interest in this Mugiwara fellow, he respected Katakuri for what he could do. He was Dogtooth, former commander of Yonko Big Mom, how come he was riding with this Mugiwara guy? How influential was this guy.

Though through their conversation, Katakuri had come to a conclusion that the Gran Tesoro was not a ship they could bring on their journey, it was too bulky. So Katakuri suggested a smaller, more practical ship for Gild while they broke down the Gran Tesoro for parts.

Gild reluctantly agreed as this was his ship, but it was time to move forward.

Their arrival in Water 7 was lively, as a group of thousands of shipwrights began to dissect the Gran Tesoro as soon as it docked.

Gild could only watch as the memory of his syndicate life was literally being ripped apart. This was for the better. He grabbed the golden coin which had swayed him to turn over a new leaf and began to flip it in the air. Stella would want him to be a better man. So this was his final gift to her, a better person.

The crew made their way through Water 7 as many busy shipwrights were running around. They were busy with work.

"Captain must have got them all working." Katakuri commented as the group continued to make their way to the center of the island.

Walking through the streets, the massive office building stood out. It was big enough to house a party for hundreds of people, per floor!

Once they arrived, they accessed an elevator to the top floor of the main office building. Before reaching the top floor, the rest of the party were told they had to be left at the lobby, with only Katakuri, Crocodile, Monet and Gild allowed to go through to the top floor. Before going to the top floor, Crocodile dismissed his agents, while Gild had his people go with them. Tanaka, Dice, Machvise, Gladius, and Baccarat made their way back down, to explore this new world. Each was given a den den mushi for communication.

They made their way up, and as the elevator door opened, it revealed a large yellow fish man sitting behind a massive wooden desk. In front of him was a man wearing a straw hat, chewing on a toothpick as he slouched back.

"Captain." Called Katakuri to which Luffy responded by jumping up and greeting the group with a smile. Gild observed the exchange, where Crocodile nodded, acknowledging the strawhat man. Monet looked a little flustered while Katakuri remained poised.

"Ah! See Tom, I told you I'll get Gild to join me!" Luffy exclaimed as he looked at the man behind the wooden desk, who continued to look through mountains of paperwork.

"Sir Mugiwara, I have told you, after what you've done for us, I don't need any of your beri. I'm happy to make your ships for FREE." Stated Tom as he continued to work on the paperwork. A young man stood by Tom who handed him the correct paper work to look at. This young man was Iceburg, one of Tom's apprentice.

"Nonsense, your employees will not work for free, not on my watch."

"Fine, and also thanks for the parts from the massive casino ship. That will go a long way of speeding up the process of making your ships."

"I want eight ships by the end of the month. If you need it, my men can help." Luffy offered.

"No no Sir Mugiwara, your commanders should sit back and continue to give input on what they want for their ship. Just let out people take care of you. We are not known as a shipwright district for nothing."

"Alright then call me if you need me." Luffy began to walk back, looking directly at the guild. His gaze was careful, studying his very being. To Gild felt like succumbing to the pressure, Luffy instead extended his hands. "Pleasure to finally meet you Gild, glad you could join us."

"Glad to be here." Luffy gave Gild a smile before speaking with Crocodile and Katakuri, Gild following them. They got on the elevator and it began to descend.

"You guys are the last to arrive." Luffy said.

"Gild is a stubborn guy." Crocodile said with a smirk, egging on the gold user.

"That's exactly why we need him, sorry about your ship."

"It's okay." Responded Gild

"So who's here?" Asked Katakuri. The elevator finally reached the bottom floor, the sun covering their gaze from what's in store.

"See for yourselves." Outside the main building, many familiar faces were in the proximity, though some others who were infamous due to their notoriety and their wanted poster.

Gild looked around at the assortment of personnel that were all under Mugiwara.

"Holly shit." Was all Crocodile could say.

Meanwhile Katakuri had a smirk on his face, more new blood to push to the limit. A restructuring of the divisions was in order.

"About damn time." Arlong was the first to greet the group, he was visibly more muscular and he now sported a golden trident on his back.

"You guys are so slow, you had one job and I had eight!" Lucci now sported a white suit from head to toe. His top hat was now a white color and he now had a bird on his shoulder. "Oh this is Hatori, he's gonna be joining me from here on out."

"Ah Friends, it has been some time." Brook greeted the group. Nothing was different about him, though his confidence was oozing.

"Monet, your sister is well with Red Leg." Mihawk was the last to greet them, to which Monet embraced him.

"I know, thank you." Monet said before breaking the embrace.

"Alright now that everyone is here. Check out your ships!" Exclaimed Luffy with a massive grin on his face. "Though not even being cocky but my ship is better than all of yours."


Thus the Strawhat Grand Armada has reunited in Water 7.

But there was an impending question.

How did Brook handle Little Garden?

Who was in Lucci's list?

Where did Arlong get his sweet golden Trident?

What did Luffy do for Tom that made him so indebted to our strawhat protagonist?

Coming Soon….

A/n: Readers, can anyone answer any of the questions? If you get any correct I will pm you with a cookie! I won't say which one you had right though.

How this will work it I will cover each members through a chapter or so and reveal some information at the end of the arc where they are in Water 7


...Dressrosa - Water 7
