Chapter XLVI.
Last Time.
Suddenly, Chopper smells a familiar smell and realizes with delight that Rebound Mushrooms are growing on the snake creature's neck. Chopper crawls toward them, telling Brook and Chuchun that he is naming the creature Kinoconda. Suddenly, gunshots explode on Kinoconda as the Marines fire on it, knowing that the pirates are there.
S.H.C.
Naruto watched the destruction of the island with all the Marines knocked out before Kinoconda appeared in the volcano revealing it was just water inside. Chopper, Brook, and some of the Foxy Pirates are revealed to be in his mouth.
Later, the Straw Hats, Foxy Pirates, and Kinoconda return to Mushroom Island, and Foxy says that they will keep sailing the new Sexy Foxy because Dojaku did a fine job with it. Foxy holds out his hand to Luffy to thank the pirate for fighting with him, but as Luffy goes to shake his hand, Foxy ends the cease-fire between them and fires a Noro Noro beam at him.
However, Luffy is not affected by the beam, which shocks Foxy, but he then disappears as it is revealed he was just an illusion created by Nami, who knew Foxy would do that. Nami then attacks Foxy, Porche, and Hamburg with Thunderbolt Tempo, scaring the other Foxy Pirates. Luffy then laughs at Foxy's stupidity.
Later after bidding the Foxy Pirates goodbye, the Straw Hats start to eat in the kitchen before freezing as a Drowsy mushroom dropped off Zoro.
Now.
Alabasta.
"That much since you all got back together?"
Vivi asked Naruto who sat on a windowsill. She has her hair down but is held back by a clip, and it seems a bit shorter than before. She's wearing a blue dress that showed off her hourglass figure and the cleavage of her larger bust.
"Yeah, they're a magnet for trouble." Naruto grinned as he crossed his arms and talked with the princess. "Who knows how far they would get without me?"
"So they're all doing well?"
"Hai, (Yeah,) as well as they can be with a captain like Luffy."
S.H.C.
As Naruto was gone, the crew sailed in snowy weather while Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, and Brook fished. As they fished a girl riding on the back of a large lizard ran to them and were pulled up. She then took Luffy hostage by getting on his back and aimed a knife at his neck and demanding food for his release. However, the attempt fails when the crew doesn't show any worry for Luffy and he gets along with the lizard, Elizabeth. Sanji feeds her regardless seeing how weak she is and the Straw Hats introduce themselves to her.
Robin manages to identify the girl, Olga being from Alchemi by a pattern on her dress and reveals to the others that it is a lost island that was rumored to have birthed the Pyua Gōrudo (Pure Gold,) gold said to be brighter and more valuable than a ton of regular gold. This interests the crew and when Olga state she can lead them to it, they are more than willing to take her up on it.
However, a ship appears beside them having Nami explain it belongs to a treasure hunter named Mad Treasure. Mad Treasure's crew manages to catch up to Olga and the Sunny with Treasure demanding they hand her over. When Olga refuses to go with him, he sends his crew after her though the Straw Hats manage to fight them off. Treasure uses his Chain Chain powers to grab Olga and tries to pull him to his ship but the Straw Hats pull her back resulting in a tug of war.
Zoro eventually cuts her free, but the ring she had on her finger flies off in the process, revealing it had Pure Gold in it, and lands in the ocean. This in turn summons an angler fish Sea King which Olga dubs Bonbonri. Bonbonri sucks up the ring and proceeds to do the same to the two ships. As the Straw Hats make to escape, however, Olga reveals that the Pure Gold is within Bonbonri's stomach and they must venture inside him if they want it.
The Straw Hats comply and head into the Sea King with Mad Treasure following suit, ramming the side of the Sunny to get them to crash into Bonbonri's uvula. Luffy manages to save the ship but is knocked into stomach acid in the process. Olga goes to save him with Elizabeth while the rest of the Straw Hats and Mad Treasure's crew drop into Bonbori's stomach.
Luffy awakens to find himself on an island which Olga reveals is one of three that Bonbori has eaten and are all located within his stomachs with the third her home, Alchemi, being where Pure Heart is located. It is soon revealed that dinosaurs have survived on the island and a few try to eat them but Luffy manages to beat one and scare off the others.
As they eat the dinosaur that was felled, Olga reveals that she is 200 years old much to Luffy's shock. She goes on to explain that back then her father had created the Pure Gold which attracted pirates to her family with her mother being killed as a result. She blamed her father for it and was going to throw the ring from earlier into the ocean to spite him when Bonbonri appeared and swallowed half the island with her and her father along with it.
She assumes her father died as she's the only survivor of Alchemi. She has since stayed in the stomach for 200 years until one day was accidentally spat out. She was soon found out by the Marines and captured by the CP-0. She agrees to show Luffy the way out as long as they do as she says. Luffy agrees and they handshake on it.
However, they are interrupted by the arrival of Mad Treasure who has managed to find them. Both Luffy and he fight and are evenly matched. However, Treasure then reveals that he had managed to capture Usopp, Nami, Gina, Chopper, Robin, and Brook. Luffy tries to charge and attack Mad Treasure, but he suddenly grabs Nami using his chains and threatens to torture and kill her and the others by using his chain powers, forcing Luffy to surrender to keep her and the rest of the crew from getting hurt.
Treasure binds him up and demands Olga to help him, she agrees but only on the condition that the Straw Hats are not harmed. He agrees though leaves Luffy to be dissolved by the tides of Bonbonri's acid. After they leave, a dinosaur comes back and picks up Luffy in its mouth intending to feed him to his young. He manages to get the dinosaur to spit him out and scares off the younglings, however there turns out to be a rather chubby human in a costume among them.
He frees Luffy and explains that he was swallowed with his island 200 years ago and survived by blending in with the dinosaurs and eating the meat fed to the young. However, when Luffy reveals that Olga's story was similar to his, the man reveals himself to be her father, Acier Myskina, and is more than thankful to hear that she's alive. With that, the two return to the beach and get the assistance of a dinosaur similar to Elizabeth, this one named Chavez, to cross the acid juices.
Meanwhile, the captured Straw Hats are forced to row Treasure's ship on the lower decks. As they do, Nami reveals that she is familiar with Treasure as, before she met Luffy, she had tried to steal from Treasure's vault but ran into a competitor who had gotten there first. They were both found and captured by Treasure but said competitor used Nami as a decoy and never came back for her.
Olga takes that as a sign to never trust friends, but Nami states that she later found friends she could trust and that Olga should believe in Luffy. As that goes on, Luffy and Acier make their way to the second stomach but have to stop when the acid there proves too much for Chavez to cross, luckily they find the Thousand Sunny.
They're suddenly attacked by a few of Treasure's men led by Psycho P. Despite using his powers to camouflage the men, Luffy manages to beat them and force Psycho P to retreat. Back with Treasure, they finally reach Alchemi and the temple where Pure Gold is held but likewise find a sign from Acier that warns them that those seeking the gold will be met with death.
This is soon confirmed when one of Treasure's men comes out with an arrow in his back, signaling that the temple is booby-trapped. The group press on and soon come across the first trap, an organ that will shoot out arrows if the song given is not played correctly. Brook, being a musician, volunteers to take the challenge but cannot play the final notes as the last page is faded out.
Robin and Chopper defend him from the arrows as he tries to figure out the last notes. Olga, seeing the trust between the crewmates in such a deadly situation, comes to their aid and sings a song taught to her by her mother as it is the same one need to be played on the organ. With this, the group can bypass the trap and continue onward.
As they head on, Psycho P arrives and informs Treasure of Luffy's survival, lifting the morale of his crewmates and Olga. Treasure leaves Psycho P and Naomi to guard the entrances as the group continues.
Back at the Sunny, Naruto appears the Sunny and saw it was empty as well as inside something as he saw a wall. "(Sigh) every freaking time. I can never leave them alone." He jumps off and saw Luffy riding toward him before turning to his left and seeing three men in bad masks of the others attacking them. "What the hell happened?"
He asked as Luffy explained all that went on after he left when a marker activated.
More men appeared before Naruto saw one using spray paint making his men look like very bad imitators of the crew. He is a dark-skinned man with big lips. He wears a pink winter coat, a cap with the word "PSY" on it, and a pair of very small sunglasses.
Psycho P, Treasure Pirates.
Naruto glared before going into his gold cloak, created clones, and in the blink of an eye knocked out the group with punches. Afterward, Zoro, Sanji, and Franky walked over with supplies to upgrade Sunny to sail through the acid while the others went to save the crew.
Meanwhile, Treasure's group has reached another trap that involves trying to open a drawbridge while avoiding the dinosaurs guarding the area. Usopp manages to use his sniping skills to drop the drawbridge while Chopper keeps the dinosaurs at bay. They then arrive at the last trap which involves keyholes and needing to find the right one to open it with the key provided
Nami goes for the task but finds that when she picks the wrong one, the dummy keyhole shocks her and brings down the upper portion of the alligator-shaped structure on her with the intent to crush its victim. Usopp, Brook, and Chopper try to hold it up as she continues, but it gets heavier with each wrong keyhole. Eventually, Nami faints from too many shocks forcing Olga to try and continue in her place. However, she too can't find the right one and it seems all of them will be crushed before Naruto dropped down hitting the top with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere).
"You the piece of shit that took my friends and girls?" Naruto asked as he stood and faced a man.
He's a dark-skinned muscular man with very wild and spiky purple hair. He's wearing dark gray pants pulled up to the knee, a red belt, and gray boots with red lining. He has two tattoos of gears with spirals inside them; one is on his left shoulder, and the other is on his right hip. He has a pair of sunglasses and his body is decorated with chains and he has pink eyes.
Mad Treasure, Treasure Hunter, And Captain Of Treasure Pirates.
"Yeah, that's-!"
Mad stopped as Naruto in his gold cloak punched him over to another who kicked him in the air before he was hit by multiple light-speed punches. Mad then got up on his hands and knees before the real Naruto punt kicks his head having a loud crack sound as Mad flipped onto his back. Naruto cracked his neck before walking to the others. Only to stop as they fell from a trap door before he dived after.
As they hit the bottom, Naruto unsealed a lantern to see the girls in harem outfits, the guys in rags, and Olga.
Going forward, they find the room they're in is Acier's lab, and within, the Pure Heart in a container. Robin finds a journal explaining that he had made the Pure Heart along with his wife to save his daughter as she had contracted a disease that will kill her as she grow older. The light of the Pure Heart however could slow a person's growth, so he cut off a piece and put it into a ring before giving it to Olga with the hope that she will survive long enough for a cure to be found.
Olga soon realizes that her father does care for her and that he likewise was saddened over her mother's death, calling herself a fool for holding a grudge against him for so long. The room shook as they heard muffled explosions before they ran t a cliff and fell as an explosion went off by them, the gold falling in the acid.
The Sunny then lands by them having everyone get on board and saw Acari was onboard as well. The acid juice begins to back up due to Bonbonri's upset stomach and ride the current out. The Sunny manages to escape from Bonbonri back into the New World. As they do, they see Bonbonri's antenna light glowing bright with Pure Gold which Acier explains is from the Pure Gold that he's eaten since he was attracted to the metal.
Later.
The Straw Hats soon reach a nearby island and drop Acier, Olga, Elizabeth and Chavez off. Though the parting seems bittersweet as, without the ring with the Pure Gold, Olga's disease will eventually spread and kill her. However, when Acier reveals that Olga's disease is called the South Blue Emperor Fever, Chopper reveals that there was a cure for it having been developed during the duo's time within Bonbori.
Chopper gives it to Olga via needle shot much to Olga's dread before the crew part ways with the two to allow them to live out their new lives.
As the crew sailed, Gina spoke up looking over at Nami. "Aren't you upset? We didn't get anything as promised."
"I don't know about that." She pulled out a gold envelope with a red seal that had a G in front of a star on it. "An invitation to the Gran Tesoro."
"To what?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow.
Robin explained it's a massive ship with a metropolis built on it, described as the largest entertainment city in the world. And that it is acknowledged as an independent state by the World Government due to the leader's wealth, and they also classify it as a demilitarized zone.
A Few Days Later.
Naruto in a white shirt and blue jeans leaned against the mast as he watched Nami in a blue and white bikini play volleyball with Chopper on her team. He looked to see Robin wearing a pink button shirt that was tied to show her cleavage and the bottom of her breasts and black bikini bottoms.
And he swore he saw a hint of pink as she hit the ball to Franky. Meanwhile, the others ate before Luffy took food off the grill getting Sanji's ire. He saw Nami and Chopper winning due t Robin using her powers to hit the ball. Later, as they ate, Nami told Chopper about Tesoro's casinos while Brook explained about the 24/7 all-you-can-eat buffets.
Meanwhile, Naruto put on a black duster coat and opened a beer bottle before taking a drink. "You OK?"
Naruto turned to see Gina in short shorts, a black shirt, and her hair in a braided ponytail walk up to him.
"Hai, (Yeah,) just don't trust this place if the Government is saying it's void of any law-breaking."
He turned and was hit in the forehead with a 100-berry coin before catching it as Nami spoke. "Naruto, use that to get us some cash at the casinos!"
Naruto sighed as he pocketed the coin before Luffy, Usopp, Brook, Franky, and Chopper put on a sumo show for them all that lasted until duck. And having Nami beat them after waking her up. As the sun sets, they saw a light from a very large ship before Nami explained that's the Gran Tesoro. They sailed to it and Naruto saw the ship.
A large portion of the Gran Tesoro is composed of gold, and its bow resembles a cruise ship, only much more massive in scale. The entire ship is ten kilometers long and a city is built inside it, with no roof covering it. The stern is a large circle with a tall golden tower in the center, and at the very back is a large green area.
The front of the ship allows other ships to enter inside the Gran Tesoro. Its name and two pirate flags can be seen when entering the ship. It appears to be drawn by two gigantic sea turtles armed with cannons as a means of locomotion.
As they got to the tunnel, Naruto saw the Jolly Roger. It's a thin skull wearing a purple top hat balanced on the left side of its head, with two white crossbones behind it. Behind the skull and crossbones, there is a large yellow dotted design with the initials "GT" embezzled with light bulbs in the letters.
They went through the tunnel as gold dust fell on them. Naruto looked out and saw even the water looked golden before they came out into a pool where they saw dancing girls on star platforms as a man was on one in the back.
He is a very tall and muscular man with slicked-back green hair. He's wearing a gold button-down shirt with a white jacket over it; the jacket is covered with gold star patterns and also has a rose on the left breast. He also has gold pants and a white top hat which has a gold-colored flow on the top.
Gild Tesoro.
Naruto turned as another ship with a long cannon in the front shot at them. "What the hell?"
"We're the Long-Long Pirates! Hand over all your valuables or maybe we'll just take them!"
Suddenly a spotlight came down on both ships as the other crew jumped on the Sunny. Only for each member to be taken out quickly by the Straw Hats. Suddenly, water shot up and became solid tendrils that wrapped around the Long-Long Pirates and wrapped up their ship before Gild spoke up as water shot out of pipes around them. "Welcome one and all to the world's greatest entertainer center, Gran Tesoro! Enjoy your stay."
The Crew then docked in the gold-colored port with a large group that also docked.
"Wow… Would you look at that?"
They looked up to see a woman walk toward them. She's a tall and slim woman with light brown skin, long red hair, and a red tattoo on her lower left hip of a spiral snake with a star in the middle. She's wearing a black backless dress with a white stripe on the left, black gloves, large crescent-shaped earrings, purple-tinted sunglasses, black stiletto heels, and a belt with a star-shaped buckle.
Baccarat, Concierge Of Gran Tesoro.
"Excuse me, but might you be the famous Straw Hat Crew?" She asked having Sanji dash over to fawn over her before taking her glasses off, revealing her green eyes, and hangs them off her dress. "I'm Baccarat, concierge for V.I.P. guests."
"That's cool and all but what does that have to do with us?" Luffy asked her.
"Because you're on the list!" Baccarat explained pulling a book out to flip through it. "All things pirates, marines, and government heads are considered V.I.P.s." She held the book out to show she stopped on pages that had their wanted posters on them. "And there you are! Now follow me."
She then pointed them to a car rolling up. It's a long white convertible with gold trim and small turtles on the sides acting as pistons.
They got in with Luffy jumping on the hood before they drove off. They pass through the downtown area, which contains resorts and all sorts of vacation facilities and destinations, before passing into the first-class city where all buildings are made of gold. The Straw Hats become more and more awestruck at the beautiful ship, but Baccarat reveals that there are Eizo Den Den Mushi everywhere, and anyone caught cheating or stealing will be sent to an underground prison.
Later, the group walked to a casino dressed in white suits and dresses.
"Welcome to Gran Tesoro's pride and joy, The Leoro!"
"Holy cow! It's all gold!"
"It's made entirely of gold." Baccarat explained before a group of kids ran up to them.
"Buy a flower from us!"
"P-Please do..."
"You're VIP customers, ain'tcha?!"
"Flower?" Gina asked as she looked down.
"C'mon! What's the harm? Buy one! Just buy one!"
"So how much do ya want?" Naruto asked crouching down.
"5,000 berries! We aren't gonna be free 'til we get money! So just help us out, wouldja?!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh dear, kiddies. Why are you bothering my customers?" Baccarat spoke walking over scaring the kids. "This is not a place people like you belong, right? So run back home." The kids ran as Baccarat turned to the Crew. "Please excuse them! Now let us hurry along to the casino."
They walked to the large gold casino just inside the building. "So this is the casino! It's so huge!"
"Indeed. We have several games and attractions here at the casino. Feel free to ask me about any of them. I will be happy to guide you." Baccarat explained
"Arigato. (Thanks.)" Naruto said as a man walked over with a case, opened it, and shows blue and black poker chips inside with a gold coin in the middle.
"We'll start by lending you 20,000,000 berries worth of chips."
"We get to use them?!" Gina asked as Nami leaned down to look at them.
"Indeed. Don't hold back."
Luffy took a chip and ran to a room with Usopp and Chopper as Nami took the case and ran after them before stopping at the entrance. "Kami (God), those guys just do what they want! What's this game?" She asked a woman in a sexy bunny suit that walked up
"Hai. (Yes.) This here is a free-for-all race using the Turtle Shuttles. The entrance fee is 1,000,000 berries!"
Naruto walked up as he and Nami went to watch the race. As the race begins, Jimmy Myers initially leaps out to a large lead. However, Straight shoots and destroys his car, taking the lead, but due to his refusal to turn the car, he and his driver Curve drive off the track. Luffy's car passes several other competitors, but the driver in front, Whitejack, has Kiruko spray a liquid onto the track, which causes Luffy's car to skid and stop.
As the Straw Hat trio recover and resume driving, Whitejack's car is forced off the track by Kent Beef Jr., but Count Times manages to maneuver in front of Beef. The Straw Hats then draw closer to Beef's car, and Pork throws a bale of hay at them, blocking their vision. The cars approach an extremely tight curve, and due to the Straw Hats' struggle to see through the hay, they careen off a cliff onto a golf course.
However, as they skid around, Luffy pulls them back toward the track with Gomu Gomu no Rocket, and they fly through a Gran Tesoro logo. They then land right next to Beef and Times Count, and the three enter the home stretch neck and neck with each other. The Straw Hats manage to beat Beef and Times Count to the finish line by mere centimeters. "And the Straw Hat Team wins!"
"Yes! Let's keep on winning!" Nami yelled out hugging Naruto's head in her cleavage.
The Straw Hats continue winning casino games, making a profit of 30 million. Baccarat then offers to take them to the VIP lounge, where they have the chance to become billionaires. As they got in the large elevator, got to the VIP level, and had Baccarat knock on the door. Suddenly, a man phased through it scaring the others.
He is a very large man with a thick build, and his head is bigger than the rest of his body. He's wearing a black suit with a green bow tie as well as a white stripe on the left side. A black and white hood covers two horn-shaped appendages on his head, and there is a green star on the hood
Tanaka, Head Of Security.
"Who the hell's this guy?!"
"He is the security guard of the casino. Tanaka-San." Baccarat explained. "He can slip through anything with his ability.
"Okay, let me have your hands please," Tanaka spoke having everyone hold hands before he pulled them through and showed a large room with men at a table on a lower floor playing dice.
"Whoa, oi. (Hey.) Even the navy's here?" Sanji asked seeing a marine man and woman walk by them.
"Please do not worry. The Gran Tesoro is a special location permitted by the World Government. There's a rule forbidding marines from touching pirates here.
"We now begin!"
Naruto looked down to see two very tall men putting black and silver dice beside a large metal cup before a man walked to it.
He is a thickset man with an enormous torso and arms but disproportionately smaller legs. He wears an open black coat lined in fur which has a white stripe on the left side, black pants, and a belt that has a very large star emblem in the center. There are four gray stars on his left sleeve and six on the back of his jacket. He wears a large pearl necklace and a cap on his head and has a tattoo of a purple star on his shoulder. He also has a blond mustache and beard.
"Who's this clown?" Zoro asked resting his arm on his swords.
"He's Dice. He's got a reputation as the champion of the underground death match shows. He was so strong that he lost people to play against. So we've appointed him in charge of being the dealer here." Baccarat explained while they looked down.
Dice then tosses the giant dice into the air and grabs hold of a giant metal container, flipping it upside down and allowing the dice to fall into it. He then flips the container back upside down, and the Straw Hats are awed by Dice's immense strength. Dice then destroys the container with his forehead while holding an axe for no reason, taking pleasure at the pain of impact, and the dice values are revealed. The Straw Hats agree to take the chance and become billionaires, with Luffy betting everything, and the first roll is successful.
"My, my. Welcome to the Gran Tesoro."
After they all walked down, they turned to see Gild and a woman walk toward them. She is a slim woman with long light purple hair, tied in a chignon, and blue eyes. She's wearing a black backless ring neck halter dress with a keyhole cutout that shows her cleavage, a red feathered boa, and a red flower in her hair.
Carina.
"Are you all enjoying yourselves?"
"Who the heck're you?" Luffy asked as Gild stopped by them.
"Pardon me. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the owner of this ship, Gild Tesoro."
"So you're that Casino King dude! Well, I'm gonna be Pirate King!"
"Wow, it's truly an honor to have the future Pirate King aboard my ship! So, how about it? Would you like to compete against me?" Gild asked taking his glasses off.
"Compete?"
"If we go about it, how about using these rules? If you should win, I'll give you an investment worth ten times your earnings. Of course, should you lose, you'll earn debt ten times your earnings. You see, I'm simply disgustingly rich. It doesn't rustle any excitement if I don't raise the stakes like this. So what will it be?" Gild asked as he walked up to the table and sat down.
"Sounds good! I ain't gonna lose!"
Baccarat then removes her gloves and touches him on the shoulder. The dice are then rolled again and come up as a two and a six. With Luffy having lost, Tesoro commends Baccarat on her ability. Baccarat reveals to the Straw Hats that she changed Luffy's luck with the Raki Raki no Mi (Luck Luck Fruit), and Luffy suddenly gets a stomachache before slipping on a banana peel.
Tesoro tells Luffy to hand over his chips, and the Straw Hats argue that they were cheated against, but Tesoro says the Straw Hats will have to work to repay their debt, as that is how Gran Tesoro operates. The Straw Hats realize they were tricked and prepare to fight, but Baccarat lures Sanji toward her and gives him bad luck as well, and Tanaka throws the Straw Hats into chaos by jumping in and out of the floor and shooting at them.
Zoro then challenges Tesoro and rushes at him, but Tesoro encases Zoro's legs in gold and manipulates a golden dragon statue to counter his sword strike. As gold covers Zoro's abdomen and torso, Tesoro reveals that he has the power of the Goru Goru no Mi (Gold Gold Fruit) giving him control over gold. When everyone enters Gran Tesoro, their bodies receive showers of gold, which he can use to control them.
Tesoro tells the Straw Hats to repay the money they borrowed, and Nami attempts to intervene, but Carina holds a knife to her throat, and Nami recognizes Carina. Nami promises to repay the money, and Tesoro gives them until midnight tomorrow to do it, or else he would kill Zoro in front of them.
City.
"I'm starving!"
Luffy yelled out feeling better from his spell. "Saving Zoro's more important than that!" Usopp yelled out as they walked down the street.
"You're damn right but let's eat first!"
"Can't you fight?" Gina asked Naruto who sighed.
"Even if I can get rid of the gold with my cloak, he can still attack you all using the gold on you. Judging by the gold water here, I guess it has gold in it as well otherwise people would wash it off and leave."
As they walked, Carina wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a white button shirt walked up to them and bumped into Nami. She has the buttons undone to show extreme cleavage and that she wasn't wearing a bra and short shorts with red suspenders.
"Oh my, pardon me."
"Hold it!" Nami grabbed her hand and showed Carina was holding a wallet.
"My looks like you haven't gotten rusty, Cat Burglar," Carina asked as Nami took the wallet back.
"How about you? Haven't you gotten rusty, Thief-Girl? So it is you, Carina." Nami said as Carina smiled.
"You guys know each other?" Franky asked as he turned.
"Yup, we do. Nami's like a rotten Cat Burglar friend to me. Right?" Carina asked having Nami cross her arms in a huff.
"No way! Back in the East Blue, we just happened to steal the same treasure."
"Until you screwed up, you mean!"
"You screwed up way more than I did!"
"What's that, you damn Cat Burglar?!" Carina glared as they got in each other's faces.
"You rotten Thief-Girl!"
Later, the group goes to a diner to eat, and Carina reveals that even though she is working for Tesoro, she is going after his treasury, which contains 20% of the world's active currency. Such wealth is enough to buy a small country as well as influence both the World Government and the black market. Carina gives the Straw Hats the idea to steal from the treasury to free Zoro, though no thief has ever succeeded in stealing from it.
Since they could not fight Tesoro due to his control over the gold on their bodies, they could manipulate the rules of Gran Tesoro to get Zoro back. The Straw Hats agree to this plan, although Nami wants to have Carina's key to the treasury, and the two start arguing. Suddenly, the Straw Hats see a group of men harass two children named Rikka and Tempo, who had previously tried selling flowers to the Straw Hats, by breaking some plates and adding to their debt.
Carina reveals that the two children are forced to work like slaves due to their parents' debt, and as one of the men tries to punch Rikka, the owner of the restaurant, Double Down, intervenes. Double Down apologizes for Rikka and Tempo, and the men kick his lowered head, warning him that all guests must smile and forcing him to smile.
After the men leave, Luffy asks why they did not fight back, but Rikka shouts that there is no way to and that Luffy does not understand before running out of the restaurant.
Gild Tesoro.
Meanwhile, Tesoro sits in a pool of flowing gold when he is approached by Spandam who's dressed in a white suit and has a white mask. Tesoro has Tanaka appear and pay Spandam a large amount of Heavenly Tribute money to buy his services in taking care of the Straw Hats. However, after Spandam leaves, Tesoro requests that better World Government agents be sent to Gran Tesoro as well.
Outside, Sanji reads a poster advertising Zoro's upcoming execution, and he tells Luffy to go to sleep so they can begin their mission the next day. The next morning, the Straw Hats wake up and try on disguises, and Nami berates Luffy, Chopper, and Brook for trying on ridiculous disguises. Later, Nami meets with Carina on a rooftop, unhappily recalling the time Carina left her to die.
The two had been caught and tortured by Mad Treasure while trying to steal his treasure, and Carina offered to go and repay him with more treasure, with Nami's life on the line should she not return. She did not return, and Nami tried to get back to the treasure she had hidden away, only to find that Carina had stolen it. Carina leaves the event in the past, angering Nami as she had nearly died, and she tells Carina that if she betrays them in this mission, she will never forgive her. The two petty thieves then make a pact.
As night falls, the Straw Hats stand alongside Carina in their disguises. Carina goes over the plan to the forgetful Luffy, revealing that in the Hyper Suite Room at the top of the hotel, where there is 500 billion stored, set aside as Heavenly Tribute to maintain the favor of the World Nobles. However, the room is encased in gold, giving Tesoro control over it, and the only stairs there are heavily monitored by Eizo Den Den Mushi.
Team A will be Luffy and Franky, who will climb up outside of the hotel, sneak into the giant clock, and go into the control room. There, they will disconnect the Host Den Den Mushi from the Eizo Den Den Mushi. Team B will be Gina, Robin, Sanji, Usopp, Brook, Nami, Chopper, and herself, who will enter through the VIP lounge. They should be able to escape the inspection and will enter another door inside the room. If they pass the security to that door, they will head toward a large corridor that leads to the stairs to the Hyper Suite Room.
Once the Eizo Den Den Mushi are shut down, they can access the Hyper Suite Room with a giant golden key and the mission will be complete as Naruto will hang back as the backup.
Night
Luffy and Franky climb up part of the hotel, but the remainder of the tower does not have handholds. However, Franky shoots out plungers from his shoulders that attach to the wall, giving him and Luffy something to hold on to. Meanwhile, while the Straw Hats in Team B hide behind a pillar, Carina distracts some workers who are delivering a metal dice container to the VIP points room.
While she distracts them, the Straw Hats leap into the container. Tanaka oversees the container being transported, and he allows Carina to follow after it, allowing her to rendezvous with the Straw Hats when the container is stored away. Meanwhile, Luffy and Franky rappel from plunger to plunger, trying to avoid detection inside and outside the hotel. However, as they draw closer to the clock, the plunger Luffy is holding onto slips off, causing him to fall and forcing Franky to catch him.
This causes Franky's plunger to slip off as well, though as they fall, Franky uses Coup de Boo to propel both of them back up. Both of these actions cause some people in a dining room to notice them, and Franky and Luffy reach the clock, but start falling again. However, Luffy manages to grab hold of the clock's minute hand and pull him and Franky up to it; they then enter the giant clock through the glass, which Gild Tesoro cannot feel.
Meanwhile, Team B runs through the hotel and approaches the door guarded by security. Robin uses her Devil Fruit powers to take out the guards, and the team enters a large hallway. The hall is guarded by red-eyed owls which shoot red beams out of their eyes; anything living that makes contact with these beams will cause the owls to screech loudly.
Being able to understand the owls, Chopper can listen to their observation patterns and helps his teammates avoid the beams. The team reaches the end of the hall right as the owls all start looking toward them, and Brook is caught in the beams. However, due to his skeletal body, the owls do not register him as alive, and the team moves on.
Carina contacts Luffy and Franky, who is in an air vent directly above the Host Den Den Mushi. She tells them what pipeline to attach the silver Den Den Mushi to shut off the connection to the main stairway, and Luffy rappels down to it. However, he fails to stretch far enough and is sent flying back to the vent opening.
The security guard looks around to find the source of the noise but does not see Luffy. Luffy then rappels down again and successfully attaches himself to the pipe, allowing him to put the silver Den Den Mushi on it. However, he loses his connection to the air vent and is discovered by the security guard, who raises the alarm, which Team B hears.
Tanaka sees the disturbance from the control room, and footage of Luffy is broadcast throughout Gran Tesoro, which Rikka and Tempo see. Franky protects Luffy from the security guards' gunshots and fills the room with smoke, allowing them to retreat. However, Franky is suddenly stabbed through the back by a tendril of gold, and Tesoro and Tanaka enter the room through the floor.
"Franky!"
"I can't believe you'd sneak in here of all places. Man, don't you care what happens to your friend now that you've done this?" He snapped his fingers to show a screen of Zoro encased in gold.
"Zoro!"
"Well? Lovely, isn't it? Don't you think it's a fitting stage for an execution? It's entertainment! How about it, Straw Hat? Laugh."
"Like hell, I will! I'll kick your ass!" Luffy exclaimed and dashed forward before Gild had gold cover his hands.
"Gōn Bonba! (Gold Bomb!)"
He punched Luffy having the gold explode before grabbing Luffy and covered his arms in gold. "It's useless. I'm untouchable inside this city! Remember this. Those without money in this world can't gain anything! They can only be controlled by it."
"Urusai! (Shut up!)" Luffy yelled as he struggled. "I won't be controlled by something so ridiculous!"
"Those words… Let's see you try to make them a reality!" Gild threw Luffy across the room before turning. "Assuming you have a future, that is."
Tanaka jumped up and raised his hands before dropping and touched the floor. "Botomuresu Heru! (Bottomless Hell!)" A hole appeared having both Franky and Luffy drop into it and fell into it. "Should I go down below and finish them off?"
"Leave them be." Gild said throwing a Den Den Mushi in the air. "More importantly, go check the spiral staircase."
"As you order."
Meanwhile, Team B is disconnected from Luffy and Franky and is forced back through the hall by security. While escaping from security, they enter another secret hall. Inside the hall, they are suddenly approached by the World Noble and his entourage, and they are forced to hide behind a pillar.
Franky And Luffy.
Luffy, Franky, and the prisoners that had jumped into the pipe run down the pipe as they battle a swarm of gold-colored bats. They then come to a large vertical pipe that has an extremely big and fast fan made of Seastone spinning below. Knowing there was no way they could get past that, Max advises Luffy to turn around, but Luffy is determined to keep going and leaps toward the fan.
However, the fan beats him around and at one point sends him crashing into the wall, forcing Franky to stretch out his hand and rescue Luffy. Despite this experience, the injured Luffy refuses to turn back, causing Max to be moved. Max then decides to help Luffy and measures the position of the fan. He then leaps into it but is caught by one of the blades and tossed around by the sheer force of it.
However, Max manages to regain his composure and hang on top of the fan blade, allowing him to crawl toward the wall. He then puts himself against the wall and holds back the fan with every ounce of his strength; seeing the fan begin to slow down, the other prisoners jump to the fan and hold it back until it is completely stopped.
Finally, Luffy, Franky, and the prisoners reach the tank of seawater, and Team B reaches the door to the Hyper Suite Room. Carina then unlocks and opens the door, but as it opens, fireworks are immediately triggered and the Straw Hats find themselves not in the Hyper Suite Room, but on a balcony directly facing the audience and the imprisoned Zoro.
Tesoro welcomes them to his spectacle, and Carina heads toward him, revealing that she had been working for him the entire time. The Straw Hats' quest was nothing more than an elaborate game set up by Tesoro, all leading to this giant spectacle. Tesoro then shows a video feed of Luffy, Franky, and the prisoners trying to get seawater.
Luffy manages to break open the seawater tank, allowing him and the prisoners to wash Tesoro's gold off of them. However, Tesoro opens the grates around them, causing water to flood the room and submerge them. Tesoro states that those without money cannot achieve anything, and Luffy and Franky try to escape but eventually succumb to the water.
Sanji races forward to attack Tesoro, but he summons several tendrils of gold. Sanji attempts to fight the tendrils, but he and the rest of his crewmates are eventually trapped by them, and their skin is slowly encased in gold. Tesoro then has them watch as he creates two enormous axes to execute Zoro.
However, right as the axes start to swing, all of Gran Tesoro's power goes out. Tesoro and his subordinates get confused, and Nami starts laughing as she reveals that Tesoro and his crew were the ones who were tricked the entire time. The openings that once sprayed flowing gold now spray seawater, which Tanaka succumbs to. Dice protects Tesoro from the deluge, which frees the Straw Hats from their gold bindings and frees everyone on Gran Tesoro from Tesoro's control over them.
Tesoro then confronts the Straw Hats, wanting to know what had happened, and Nami reveals that Carina's plan all along had been to release seawater throughout Gran Tesoro, and all of them except Luffy had known that. They then cast away their disguises in favor of leather jacket outfits.
Naruto in his gold cloak dropped down as Gild covered everything in gold before clones pulled everyone away. Suddenly, a very large gold Gild statue stood up with glowing purple lines. As well as the other officers all in gold armor, Baccarat's being a corset.
Naruto created the Kurama cloak and attacked Gild as the others faced his workers. Zoro blocks Dice's powerful axe swings before leaping up and striking the dealer in the head. Dice uses Busoshoku Haki to block the strike, though Zoro disarms him and blows him away with another attack. However, Dice leaps at Zoro, covering his entire head in Busoshoku Haki, and then rolls into Zoro, disarming him, and he picks up Zoro's swords.
Meanwhile, Tanaka falls to the ground, where he jumps in and out of various locations around Sanji and Robin. He then starts shooting at them as he pops in and out, and when Sanji barely misses him, he appears behind Sanji and points his gun at him.
Baccarat touches several of Tesoro's employees, and a pillar falls on them. Usopp tries shooting her while her back is turned, but his shot misses and hits an employee. Baccarat states that her Devil Fruit allows her to store up the luck she takes from other people and become very lucky and decides to fight with only her luck and a gold coin, which she throws at Usopp, Chopper, and Brook.
One of the employee's steps on the coin, causing his foot to break, which causes him to fall and pull another employee's pants down, which causes that employee to shoot his arrow in shock. The arrow falls right in front of another employee, who shoots the man next to him in shock, causing the man to fire his rocket launcher.
Two employees on the top of a building prepare to throw a bomb down, but they are hit by the rocket, causing the bomb to fall on Usopp, Brook, and Chopper. Baccarat continues throwing her coin at the three pirates, causing them continued pain, until Usopp finally decides to run away.
Naruto uppercuts the statue in the chin before he grabbed the arms, and brought it to face to air, and created a black ball in Kurama's mouth. "Bijūdama! (Tailed Beast Bomb!)"
He shot the stomach having everything under it disintegrate as cannon balls hit the area revealing Marine ships outside.
On one, Lucci was standing dressed in a white suit before a clone of Naruto dropped down in his gold cloak. "Can't have you do that." Rob dropped his coat before seeing a black ball hit the mast and disintegrate it. "You really wanna push me? I could have killed you 2 years ago if Luffy didn't call dibs." He created two black staffs as the rest of the balls spun around him. "So try me!"
Back on the Tesoro, Naruto pulled Gild from the head and slammed him into a pool full of seawater before dispelling the fox and dropped down, slamming into Gild's back. Creating a shock-wave, and knocking him out. Naruto grabbed him, flew up, and threw Gild onto one of the Marine ships as he had more clones fly up to disperse any further attacks.
Up ahead, Robin binds Tanaka with a giant arm and several smaller arms, knocking his gun out of his hand. Tanaka cannot phase through Robin's flesh, and so cannot do anything against her. Sanji then activates Diable Jambe and barrages Tanaka's face with kicks, sending him flying far away. Baccarat prepares to finish off Chopper and Brook and flicks her coin at them, but suddenly Usopp flings a giant ball at her.
The ball intercepts the coin but misses Baccarat, and she laughs, but Usopp fires a Midori Boshi: Dokuro Bakuhatsu So at her. The shot makes contact and injures Baccarat, leaving her bewildered that her luck ran out. However, Usopp's first shot opens up to reveal a slot machine that Baccarat's coin had won the jackpot on, meaning that her luck had been completely spent.
Dice strikes Zoro with his swords, but to the former's shock, Zoro counters them with only his Haki-imbued arms. Zoro says that the swords alone cannot bring him down, and he uses Tatsu Maki to send Dice flying away in a whirlwind. Dice spins toward Zoro at a high speed, but Zoro reclaims one of his swords and uses Shishi Sonson, causing Dice's armor to crack up and Dice to fall to the ground, defeated though happy.
However, an alarm starts beeping on Gran Tesoro, and monitors come up showing a countdown. Carina reveals that the ship is going to sink and tells everyone to escape and she decides to stay behind, wanting to continue luring the Marines to Gran Tesoro. She and Nami embrace, and Franky takes Nami away as the timer continues ticking.
The pirates, Marines, and citizens all stand and watch on their ships as the timer reaches zero. When it does, however, fireworks explode over the Gran Tesoro. The Straw Hats look and see Carina standing on the top of it as Gran Tesoro sails away, and they realize that she has duped them to gain access to its riches.
However, they laugh it away and are forced to retreat when the Marines start firing at them. As they do so, Nami finds a letter on her person from Carina with encouraging words toward her and it is revealed that Nami did not leave completely empty-handed, as she managed to swipe Tesoro's gold rings off of him. The Sunny continues sailing as it is pursued by the Marines.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
I apologize for the quality of some of the parts, got a bit burned out due to the 4 hours I had to do for this
Remember to vote if you haven't if I still get votes I'll take it down either on A: I finish s3 of Korra or getting to s4 of Ultimate-Spider-Man... Again I'll try to get to ep 13 but I may end it at the end of s3 as well as s4 was mostly multipart episodes.
If I don't get any votes by... October I'll go ahead and take it down as I have a quick one for Shinobi on Board and another choose the next story poll due to two being close to finishing (Korra's with only 25 left and USM due to the multipart episodes)
Next to be updated will be Ninja in the Web.
I'll also try to get Naruto on Board up by the end of the month still have a good part that's focused on where Naruto isn't and something I did I don't need the majority of several episodes.
Nothing else to say.
