This is the start of Film Gold Stuff, consider it a sort of alternate timeline thing since there's nowhere else to plug it in like I could with the other movies.
This is just a quick intro based on the 10-min short Episode Zero for the movie.
In another time…in another place…
Steve's POV
We were just sailing around, as pirates are tend to do, everyone doing their own thing. Luffy was eating, Sanji was cooking for him, Usopp was sorta stuck in the middle, Zoro was off sleeping while Monet was lounging around reading some book.
I on the other hand was involved in an intense game of Volley ball, it was me Robin, Franky and Lil Vs Nami, Rose, Chopper and Wyper.
"HMPH!" Nami served the ball easily.
I was in the back so I didn't bother stepping up and let Robin bump it back.
"HRYA!" Wyper simply knocked it back.
"I got it." I stepped back.
We bounced the ball back and forth over the net for a bit, the volley lasting the longest so far, then again it was match point so everyone wanted to win. Although Franky did have to take a wicked dive for our team to win.
"Oh come on!" Rose groaned.
"The match is over." Brook blew a little whistle.
Wait, how does he blow a whistle if he has no lungs to exhale with?
"The winners are the team of Nami, Chopper, Rose and Wyper." He announced.
"What no fair we won!" Lil pouted.
"Devil fruit powers are against the rules." Wyper smirked.
"What a load." I grumbled "Then Chopper shouldn't have been able to compete at all."
"Sore Loser." Rose teased.
"I am not!"
"It would seem we lost." Robin hummed handing a coin over to Nami.
"Indeed, you did." The girl smirked.
We all went around to relax, we were sailing to some city called Gran Tesoro, some sort of super luxury resort casino place that we had been invited to via a letter.
"Have you ever been there? What's it like?" Lil asked.
"I don't know." I shrugged "I've never been myself and I've only ever heard rumors about it, I wasn't sure if it was even real, but they say they have everything from amusement parks to casinos."
Everyone was pretty excited for the trip; we honestly needed a bit of a break and this resort would have all sorts of things for all sorts of people.
"What do you want to do Mama?" Lil asked.
"I'm not sure." She hummed "Maybe I'll get a massage?"
"What, mine aren't good enough." I fake pouted.
"Fufufu." She snickered a bit "Your hands are a tad abrasive with that wrapping, but still, I prefer your touch to any other."
"See that's why I love you." I leaned over and kissed her.
"I wonder if they have a library?" Monet hummed.
"Sticking to the boring stuff." Rose laughed "How like you."
"Yeah Monet you gotta learn to have more fun." Luffy huffed.
"There is one problem, if we're going to do all this stuff we'll need money." Usopp said.
"And there's the problem, we only have this." Nami lowered her head and held up her coin.
"How is it we're always broke?" Wyper growled.
"Maybe if we actually did some pirate like activities for once." I added.
"It's fine, we'll just multiply this one coin!" Nami cheered.
"Your odds of succeeding in that endeavor are so low it's actually kind of amazing." Monet pushed her glasses up "Although some games can be pushed in our favor."
"We just gotta be lucky!" Lil cheered.
"Luck." Monet smirked "No, you win with facts and tangible things. Still, there are ways to increase our odds."
"What are you talking about?" Zoro grumbled.
"I'm saying once we arrive, we simply need to find the nearest blackjack table." She lowered her glasses "I can take over from there."
As a result of our brokenness everyone attempted to think up a get rich quick scheme, one of which included Usopp's dreaded attempt at a stage show. Although eventually the sun did set and night approached, just as we were preparing to relax, it came into view.
A city of beautiful golden light and structures.
"That's the place." Nami smiled.
