4. Bombs Away: The Movie!

Hey, guys. Welcome to the new chapter of Bomb's Away. I hope you guys will enjoy the chapter. Oh, and the reason I didn't update is that I got busy with other projects, but I'm back now, and I decided to edit the past three chapters to be more in line with my modern writing and added a theme song as I also had Asher's age be raised to be 17-years-old...also, I don't own anything except for my OCs.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Bombs Away!-Season 1, Episode 4: Bombs Away the Movie!}

In East Blue, there was a man known as the 'Great Gold Pirate'

His name was Woonan

In countless harsh battles, Woonan robbed many enemies of their gold

Legend has it that the gold he stole piled up as high as a mountain...

...And lit up the ocean at night as bright as day

However, over the course of a few years...Woonan's existence slowly faded

The Great Gold Pirate hid all his treasure on a small island and then died

That rumor is still alive even now...as many pirates are still trying to find this island

There's a map drawn by a member of Woonan's crew

Whoever gets that map can locate the island

A place where a mountain of gold is said to lie in wait.

A legendary island!

"...I'm starving..." A groaning Luffy says as we see him, Zoro, and Asher resting on the deck of the Going Merry with Usopp standing near them, and he was fishing as Nami could be seen looking out into the ocean with a pair of binoculars.

"We are all starving, Luffy..." Asher says with a glare as Zoro nods.

"The last time we ate was a week ago." Zoro says with his stomach grumbling a bit as he groans.

"The Gold Island where Woonan buried his treasure..." Nami thought to herself with a glare while scanning the vast ocean before her as she narrowed her eyes. "...if the information I gathered is correct it should be nearby. All that I need to find is the treasure map." Nami thought to herself with a sneaky grin on her face...but then yelped in surprise as she spotted a pair of black eyes peering at her through the end of the binoculars and pulled back her head to see Cottontail resting on her binoculars.

"Did you find any food yet, Nami?"

"ASHER! TELL YOUR DUMB RAT TO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" Nami screeched with white eyes and shark teeth while reaching up to grab onto Cottontail by the back of his fur and threw him over to land on top of Asher with said person being too hungry to say anything as he merely lay there, waiting for the sweet release of death to take him.

"I got, got, got, got it, finally got it! This pole is really heavy! This has to be the largest elephant tuna in the world! Brace yourself, you're gonna eat until your stomach explodes!" Usopp yelled while pretending to have something pull on his pole as he then yanked it upwards to reveal that he had caught a giant old brown shoe. "...Just kidding," Usopp says with a cheeky grin as everyone gives him deadpanned looks, even Luffy.

"I'll never fall for that stupid joke."

"Seriously, Usopp, it was funny the first few times, but now it's just annoying." Asher says with a glare while getting up from the floor as Cottontail lays on his lap. "Okay, guys, I hate to say it, but we are in some serious shit."

"He's right. If this goes on for two more days we'll all starve to death, so I say that we eat the rat to survive." Zoro says while pointing over at Cottontail, who froze in fear as a glaring Asher hugged him.

"Hell the fuck no! Why should Cottontail be eaten?! It's not his fault that we ran out of food!" Asher yelled furiously as Nami nodded in agreement while pacing around as she grumbled angrily.

"For real, of all things, who's fault is it that we are all starving?! I worked very hard to store one month's worth of food for this long journey, and who exactly ate it all in three days?! Luffy, it was you, wasn't it?!" Nami asked Luffy while turning to him as said person beamed and held up two fingers.

"Two days!"

"DON'T BRAG ABOUT IT, DUMBASS!" Asher and Nami screamed angrily while glaring at Luffy as Cottontail would've joined in on the scolding if his superhuman hearing hadn't picked up the sounds of soft footsteps and turned his head as he wandered off.

"Anyways, go catch a bird or a fish or something! You're so useless!" Nami yelled as Asher nodded while Cottontail walked over to peer at the corner as he spotted Three Pirates holding onto Nami's Bag of Treasure and immediately took flight as Cottontail flew over to land on Asher's shoulders and began chirping at him urgently.

"Hmm? What? Thieves? Stealing Nami's Treasure?"

"WHAT?!" Nami asked in shock while rushing over to peer over the deck as she was stunned to see the Three Pirates carrying around her bags of treasure and walking over to a large rope ladder leading down into a smaller boat. "GUYS! EVERYONE COME! THERE ARE THIEVES TRYING TO STEAL MY TREASURE!"

"Thieves? Are they bad people?" Luffy asked cluelessly as Usopp, who was still fishing, merely shrugged boredly.

"Who knows, those treasures were stolen in the first place."

"That's true," Zoro says with a grin and a chuckle.

"THEY'RE BAD PEOPLE! ASHER! HELP ME!" Nami ordered while rushing over to hug Asher from behind as he blushed heavily at feeling her large breasts pressed against his back.

"I will if you let me go first!"

"Then I'll give you these in exchange for the treasure." One of the Pirates says while tossing over a bag filled with rice balls at the group as Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, and even Asher and Cottontail cheer happily as they go over to devour them.

"Oh, they are good people!"

"Delicious!"

"I may have misjudged them!"

"Finally some food!"

"This is definitely a fair trade!" Luffy, Usopp, Asher, Zoro, and Cottontail yelled in unison while eating the rice balls with tears of joy running down their eyes as Nami stared at them in shock and anger.

"YOU BASTARDS! GO DOWN THERE AND BEAT THEM UP! I WILL NOT TRADE MY PRECIOUS TREASURE OVER A MEASELY SMALL BAG OF RICE BALLS!"

"Your right! We should trade in for an even bigger bag of rice balls!"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN AND YOU KNOW IT!" Nami snapped as Luffy proceeded to bluntly ignore her and went over to peer over the ledge of his ship to glance down at the Pirates.

"Hey! I need some more rice balls..." Luffy says before trailing off as one of the Pirates pulls out his pistol and tries to shoot a bullet at Luffy's head, only for Asher to react quickly and reach into his pocket to pull out one of his shurikens as he tossed it forward and it flew over to intercept the bullet. "...WHAT THE FUCK?! HEY NAMI! THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE!"

"THAT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU DUMBASS!" Nami yelled with white eyes and shark teeth as Asher gulped down his rice balls before running over to stand side by side with his Captain as Luffy turned to glare down at the captains.

"HEY! YOU SHOT ME! IT WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED ME BUT I WAS REALLY SURPRISED!" A really pissed off Luffy yelled as the Pirates immediately pulled out their pistols and began trying to shoot down the Boys, but they were able to survive easily due to Luffy's Rubbery Body and Asher whistling at Cottontail to fly over to him as he broke apart his body and wrapped himself around his Master's Left Arm as he morphed himself into a wide shield and hardened himself to allow the bullets to bounce off him harmlessly as the Duo shared a look and nodded as Asher then crouched down and jumped up high into the air as a glaring Luffy stretched up his arm and grabbed onto his leg.

"Gomu-Bomu No...Grenade Whip!" Luffy and Asher exclaimed in unison as the Rubberman grunted and proceeded to swing the Bomberman down at the Pirates Ship with said person creating a huge explosion that blew apart the ship as it sent all of the Pirates flying out of the boat and crashed down into the ground while Nami's Stolen Treassure got blown up into smitherins.

"YOU DUMBASSES! YOU HAD BLOWN UP MY TREASURE!" A furious Nami scolded while glaring over at Luffy, who bluntly ignored her as he could be seen still holding onto Asher with said person being able to resurface due to Cottontail morphing himself into a life preserver for his Master as the Bombman floated around.

"Thanks for the help, Cottontail." Asher complimented as Cottontail purred, but then Duo heard a small whimper behind them as they turned their heads and were surprised to see a trembling Young Boy holding onto Asher's back while covered in soot and bruises as he looked outright traumatized.

The Child is a 4'5-feet-tall, 10-year-old Boy with black eyes, short black spikey hair, thick black eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, Light Skin, a slim build, and his outfit consists of a black cape with a flame design on the bottom and red insides as it was tied up in a bow at the front, a sleevless tan brown waistcoat with a short-sleeved light yellow shirt underneath, an olive green sash, slightly torn brown shorts, and a pair of brown shoes. His name is Tobio, Grandson of Ganzo and an adventurous young boy who wishes to find the legendary pirate Woonan.

"H-How am I not dead?"

"Huh?! Who the hell are you!? Where the fuck did you come from?!" Asher asked with wide eyes and a wince, feeling horrible for nearly killing the child accidentally as, before he could try to apologize to the Boy, Zoro suddenly spotted that made him wince in surprise.

"Hey, Asher, be careful!" Zoro yelled worriedly while pointing over at what seemed to be a giant ship made out of wood with gold accents as it has a figurehead that resembled a lion's head.

"Eldoraggo?!" One of the Pirates yelled panickedly while resurfacing with his friends as they spotted their Captain standing on the deck of their ship and raised his arms over his head as a golden aura began covering his body.

"That pose, don't tell me..."

"He's gonna use his Devil Fruit Power!" The Three Pirates screamed nervously while turning around to swim as fast as they could as a glaring Asher then glanced up at Luffy.

"Captain! Reel us in!" Asher shouted at Luffy, who nodded as he tried to pull him, Cottontail, and Tobio into the ship, only for a loud roar to rang out as everyone turned over to glance at the Pirate Ship and everyone's eyes widened in shock with their jaws dropping as a huge blue/white Dragon Ball Z-like Laser Beam was heading straight towards them and Cottontail reacted quickly as he hardened himself and allowed the Trio to submerge deep down into the water as, due to still holding onto his Bodyguard's leg, a screaming Luffy got pulled into the water as well.

"LUFFY! ASHER! RAT!" Zoro shouted while diving into the water to save his Crewmates just as the laser beam appeared as it pushed back the water, and it caused the Going Merry to be sent sailing away with Nami being unable to hold on as she crashed down onto the ocean with a startled and panicking scream as Usopp held onto the railings for dear life.

{Bombs Away-Season 1 Theme Song!}

Wealth, fame, power

Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,

Attained this and everything else the world had to offer,

And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas

At Loguetown, we see the King of Pirates himself, Captain Gold Roger, currently wearing shackles and kneeling down in a large stadium with two Marines standing beside him with a couple of swords in their arms as a huge crowd of people could be seen standing in front of them and were screaming at Roger to reveal where he had hidden all of the treasure and wealth that he had accumulated over the years as the King of Pirates heard this and, even though he was going to get executed soon, couldn't help but grin widely with excitement and glee.

"Oh, you all want my treasure?! You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it~!" Captain Gold Roger exclaimed with a loud, joyful laugh.

These words lured men to the Grand Line

In pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine

This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era!'

Once the King of Pirates was executed, hundreds of Pirates immediately boarded their ships and set their sails as they all quickly sailed off into the dangerous ocean and began making their way to the Grand Line to find the Legendary One Piece as this officially issued, 'The Great Pirate Era!'.

Come aboard and bring along

All your hopes and dreams

Together, we will find everything

That we're looking for!

ONE PIECE!

Sharing an excited and determined grin, Luffy and Asher can be seen running up a hill as the Bombman then kneeled down and allowed the Rubberman to leap up to land on his back as Asher created a huge explosion underneath his legs, and it propelled them up into the air as the Boys cheered loudly and numerous visions of all of the current members of the Straw Pirates appeared in front of them as a glaring and malnourished Zoro can be seen tied up against a post in Shells Town, a panting and panicking Nami can be seen running away from Three of Buggy's Henchmen in Orange Town, and a purring Cottontail eating a couple of mushrooms on the Island of Rare Animals.

A smirking Usopp crossed his arms as he stood on top of a tall cliff in Syrup Village with Kaya standing beside him and wrapped her arms around him as the wind blew their hair away, a stoic Sanji walked through the Baratie while smoking a cigarette and carrying around a dish filled with food as he could be seen serving the food to Jack and a glaring Gin can be seen standing in the background as the Krieg Pirates' Flag can be seen waving behind him, Akira can be seen sitting on the chair and was being served food by a smiling Nojiko in Cocoyasi Village, and a giggling Apis flew through the air while being morphed into the form of a Dragon as she soared through Warship Island.

After the visions were done, the Future Pirate King and the Future Strongest Man In The World then perked up as they spotted the Going Merry sailing through the seas, and a laughing Luffy grabbed onto Asher's body as he then stretched his free arm to wrap over to latch onto the Straw Hat Pirates' Flag and they propelled themselves forwards with the Duo laughing joyfully as they crashed right into the Going Merry's Deck.

Compass left behind

It'll only slow us down

Your heart will be your guide

Raise the sails and take the helm

The Going Merry can be seen sailing through the treacherous ocean of the East Blue with numerous Sea Kings swimming past it as huge waves of water rang out, and the Straw Hat Pirates can be seen either staring at them in awe, cheering loudly, or panicking as they continued sailing through the ocean.

That legendary place

That the end of the map reveals

Is only legendary

'Till someone proves it real

Zooming into the Going Merry, we see Nami drawing maps inside of her room, a glaring Zoro and Gin sparring with each other on the main deck, Jack sailing the Going Merry, Usopp fixing up the damages done to the ship, a blushing and heart-eyed Sanji serving some food that he had cooked to a smiling and bashful Kaya, Akira washing the deck with the help of some mop and soap, a grinning Luffy residing on his usual seat (The Going Merry's Sheep Figurehead) to enjoy the beautiful day, and a smirking Asher could be seen riding around on the masthead with Apis riding around on his shoulders, and the Duo went starry-eyed at the sight of the amazing journey laid before them as Cottontail can be seen flying ahead of them.

Through it all, through all the troubled times

Through the heartache and through the pain

Know that I will be there to stand by you

Just like I know you'll stand by me

Narrowing his eyes furiously, Zoro gripped his three swords tightly and swung them around as he was able to slash away a group of charging Pirates, a glaring Gin twirled his tonfa around and spun around elegantly as he was able to whack away various Pirates, a calm and collected Sanji smoke his cigarette as a horde of Pirates surrounded him and aimed their swords at him as he swiftly got down in a handstand and twirled around as the blonde-haired simp was able to kick them all away, Jack opened up his mouth and fired a huge torrent of hot flame-like energy at a group of charging and menacing evil Pirates and sends them flying away with the help of a large fiery explosion as Cottontail flew by and hardened himself as he proceeds to trip every single one of the burned and flaming Pirates out of the Going Merry.

Crouching down, a grunting Akira then jumped up into the air and began slashing and punching every Pirates that he saw, a gleeful Kaya can be seen running around at high speeds to knock away every single Pirates that was in her sight before she began running around in a circle and created a huge gust of wind that blew them out of the Going Merry and splashed down into the ocean, a giggling Apis dodged and weaved to avoid all of the incoming swords slashes as she then jumped up into the air and ran her hands across a nearby flying Cottontail as she was able to absorb his DNA and morphed herself into a Winged Cotton Lemur as Apis hardened herself and twirled around as she fires multiple white spikes that pierced through the Pirates' bodies.

So come aboard and bring along

Multiple vast images of all of the Incoming Arc Villains appeared as we see Iron Mace Alvida, Axe-Hand Morgan, Buggy the Star Clown, Kuro of a Hundred Plans, Eldoraggo, Foul-Play Krieg, Arlong the Saw, Garp the Fist, Smoker the White Hunter, Bear King, and Eric the Whirlwind as all of the Straw Hat Pirates Villains posed menacingly and scowled stoically.

There's always room for you

If you wanna be my friend

We are, we are, on the cruise

WE ARE!

After arriving near the Grand Line, Luffy can be seen sitting at his usual favorite seat in the Going Merry with Asher standing behind him as Nami wraps her arms around him and places her head on his shoulder as an annoyed Zoro stands near them on their right with Cottontail residing on top of his mossy head as Gin can be seen resting on the edge of the boat lazily, Usopp stood beside the Lovebirds on their left, and Sanji stands beside him as he smoked a cigarette and sighed heavily with Jack smiling widely and enjoying the sea breeze as Kaya stood behind them and smiled warmly while holding Apis and Akira in her arms as the logo of the story appeared in front of the readers.

{Bombs Away-Season 1 Theme Song Over!}

"Ugh...thanks Cottontail/Rat..." Asher, Luffy, and Zoro mumbled in unison as, after they drifted off for a bit, the Gang was able to thankfully resurface due to Cottontail morphing himself into a large makeshift boat, and a grunting Zoro was able to climb up to land inside while holding onto Luffy and Asher, who while still in pain and feeling weak, were able to hold onto a still traumatized Tobio as they all landed inside safely.

"I thought I was going to die!/What the hell was that?!" Luffy and Zoro screamed/asked nervously/furiously as, after coughing up some sea water, Asher turned over to Tobio.

"Are you okay kid?" Asher asked worriedly as Tobio whimpered a bit but nodded as a bewildered Zoro turned to him.

"Who's this? Is he one of them?"

"You've got to be kidding!" A pissed-off Tobio shouted with his earlier anxious and scared facade dissipating as he glared over at the Swordsman. "You dare say that to the great pirate Tobio?!"

"Great pirate Tobio?" Luffy asked with a raised eyebrow as Tobio nodded while puffing out his chest proudly as he grinned.

"That's right! I'm on a journey to find the treasure island...but I was caught by El Drago and forced to work- No, that's not it! I pretended to join them in order to find the gold island!"

"I'm starving..."

"Is there food around here?"

"Hell, where's our ship by that matter?" Luffy, Zoro, and Asher asked while looking around as they were bluntly ignoring a shocked and angry Tobio.

"Hey, are you listening to me?!" Tobio asked as Asher paused a bit and turned to give him an apologetic grin.

"Sorry, Kid, it's hard to listen to you while you give us your backstory and life dream when you are on an empty stomach. If we only we had some..." Asher says before trailing off as he, Luffy, Zoro, and Cottontail perked up upon smelling a nearby delicious aroma as they all shared a look and grinned mischievously as Cottontail sprouted out his tail and had it begin to spin around rapidly, creating a makeshift propeller that caused them to zoom away with a yelping Tobio being sent nearly flying away if it wasn't for Asher's quick instincts and reached over to grab him as Cottontail sailed them through the ocean at high speeds before they were able to arrive at a small Travelling Oden Ship with one singular Chef as the Group sailed over to it and Cottontail then stopped spinning his tail as they sailed over to park in front of the Travelling Oden Ship safely.

"ODEN! ODEN! ODEN! ODEN! ODEN!" Asher, Luffy, Zoro, and Cottontail chanted in unison with the annoyed Chef being forced to stop dishes to turn to glare at the Group.

Standing before them is a 6'2-feet-tall, 60-year-old Man with small brown eyes, a bald head, thin black eyebrows, a big nose with a black mustache, a sharp chin, a sharp chin, Tan Skin, a tall stout build, and his outfit consists of a black bandana with blue spots, a light yellow shirt with rolled up sleeve, long brown trousers, and a pair of black shows as he could also be seen wearing a three-parted dark blue apron with the name of his Oden Shop planted onto it as it was held up by red suspenders. His name is Ganzo, a Traveling Oden Chef, and the Grandfather of Tobio.

"What's all the commotion?" Gonzo asked with a glare before his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of his Grandson. "Tobio?

"Grandpa Ganzo?" Tobio asked as Asher, Luffy, and Zoro shared a look as they grinned deliciously and nodded before leaping over into Ganzo's Shop as they began eating anything they saw.

"How many times are you going to run away before you are satisfied? You always run away and then come back a few days later." Gonzo says with a stern and blank glare as Tobio gritted his teeth and fumed.

"Whatever! I'm here because my underlings were hungry, so I thought I'd feed them some oden-Whoa!" Tobio says before yelping in surprise as Cottontail shrinks in size and softened himself up as he turns back into his normal form, causing Tobio to splash down into the ocean as Cottontail flew over to join in on the feast and Gonzo spotted this as he glared at the Group.

"Hey, don't eat without my permission!" Gonzo snapped as the Gang flinched nervously and grinned sheepishly as they nodded, and after Tobio's Grandfather was able to fully prepare their meal, Asher and the others could be seen gleefully eating all of Gonzo's food with joyful smiles on their faces.

"Damn, this is some good Oden!" Zoro yelled with a grin as the others nodded.

"Yeah, this is so delicious!" Asher screamed as Luffy could be seen scarfing down everything that he saw and tried to steal his food, only for the One-Eyed Man to easily block all of his attempts as the Rubberman pouted before grinding sinisterly as he turned to Cottontail and tried to reach over to steal his food, only for Asher's Pet to hiss at him threateningly as Luffy pouted...but then beamed as he began stealing Zoro's food.

"I've never had such good Oden!" Cottontail praised as Luffy nodded in agreement while turning to Tobio, who was sitting away from them with crossed arms and a glare on his face.

"Your Grandpa's cooking is the best in the world!"

"Heh, funny enough, you are not the first person to tell me that." An amused Gonzo says while turning to the Pirate Crew as he could be seen chopping up some vegetables in the background. "There was this Samurai Guy who showed up here more than 20 years ago. He said that he loved my oden so much and said that he was born to Boil." Gonzo says with a smirk as Asher and Luffy look amazed by what he said while Zoro looks slightly intrigued as an indifferent Cottontail continues eating his meal.

"Pffft, he's just a stubborn old man," Tobio says with a scoff as Gonzo hears him but said nothing as he merely frowns solemnly and turns back around to continue chopping up his vegetables. "His Oden is good, but that's all. Every single day, he commits himself to making Oden, but for what? There are not many customers either. I'm tired of this poor life. I will never be a man like Grandpa. I want to be a great pirate like Woonan."

"Ehh, there's no more!" A shocked Zoro exclaimed after noticing that all of the food was gone, and a grinning Luffy could be seen patting his full stomach as the Swordsman growled angrily and went over to begin strangling him as only Asher and, kind of, Cottontail were paying attention to what Tobio was saying.

"Woonan? Hey, I remember that name. My Dad told me about him. Isn't Woonan that gold pirate?" Asher asked curiously as Tobio nodded, and Zoro could be seen tackling Luffy onto the ground as he began fighting him.

"It is said that the legendary pirate Woonan stole one-third of the world's gold. Also, he only stole gold from evil men. If you are not evil, then he won't steal from you." A starry-eyed Tobio says with an amazed tone as Gonzo places more food on the table, and Zoro immediately stops fighting his Captain to get up from the floor as he goes over to continue eating. "He is a very proud pirate."

"Then he should be pretty strong, right?" Luffy asked stoically while lying on the ground with his arms crossed as his hat covered his eyes.

"I thought that he died a long time ago?" A bewildered Zoro asked, half-hearing what Tobio was saying as said person turned to snarl at him angrily.

"He's alive! Woonan is not dead! I'm sure Woonan is somewhere on the Gold Island right now! I heard that El Drago is going to the Gold Island! I have a pretty good idea where that is! I'm going to ask Woonan if I can be one of his crew!"

"Heh, great plan, kid." Asher says with a smirk while he and Cottontail continue eating their food as a grinding Luffy jumps back into his seat with ease.

"All right, I'm going to meet this Woonan guy too. If he's a good guy, I'll ask him to join my crew."

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WHY WOULD WOONAN JOIN YOUR CREW!?" Tobio asked in shock and fury as Luffy turned to grin at him slyly.

"Because I'm gonna be King of the Pirates." Luffy stated matter-of-factly with his Crewmates being unfazed by what he said as Gonzo can't help but stopped cooking and turned to him with his jaw dropped in shock as his Grandson looked to be equally in shock.

"King of the Pirates?!"

"Yeah, I'm going to the Grand Line to find the great treasure, One Piece, and then I'll be King of the Pirates." Luffy stated with a warm smile as Tobio and Gonzo continued staring at him in surprise. "And as the King of the Pirates, it's only natural that I should have a legendary man in my crew."

"Cut the crap! Stop joking around and just say what you want to say! Why don't you just say that I'll never be able to join Woonan's Crew?!"

"Kiddo," Asher says while turning to Tobio with a deadly serious look on his face as said person flinched in surprise. "You and many people may think that it's ridiculous, but Luffy is being serious."

"He's going to become the King of the Pirates," Zoro says with a nod while still eating his meal as Luffy puts on his happy-go-lucky grin and Tobio can't help but shake his head in disbelief as Gonzo composed himself and turned to the others.

"Whatever you do, don't forget about one very important thing...do you guys have any money on you?" Gonzo asked with a cold tone as Asher, Zoro, and Cottontail froze in place and sweated nervously as Luffy continued looking obliviously happy, and the Gang watched in surprise as Gonzo began tallying up the bill for their breakfast. "125 kamodoki, 153 seaweed, 302 fish balls, 102 white radishes, konjac, fish cakes, eggs, etc, etc, I, Ganzo, prepared this oden with my soul. Added up, it costs...20 berries."

"20 berries?!" A stunned Zoro asked as a bewildered Asher and Luffy turned to him.

"Is that expensive?" Luffy asked as he didn't know how money works due to being an idiot, and Asher didn't know how money works due to growing up in a jungle.

"Far from it! It's cheap! It's less than getting a nosebleed! But..we have no money!" Zoro yelled while slamming his head on the table as Gonzo looked angrily, and Asher looked nervous while Luffy continued smiling as Cottontail simply blinked...before turning around as he spread out his wings.

"CHEESE IT!" Cottontail exclaimed while flying up into the air as he disappeared from sight.

"YOU COWARD!" Asher screamed furiously before yelping in surprise as Gonzo reached over to grab onto him, Luffy, and Zoro as he pulled them close to him.

"What was that? Are you complaining about my Daily Vocal Training?" An extremely tall Pirate Captain says with a glare while residing on the large golden ship from earlier as a group of Pirates can be seen confronting him.

The Captain is a 15-feet-tall, 35-year-old African-American Man who resembles a cat or lion in appearance with light brown eyes, long shaggy spikey red hair that reaches down to his waist, thick black eyebrows, a big nose, thick red lips with sharp white teeth and two upturned fangs, a sharp chin with a small black beard, hard and sharp golden nails on each of his hands, Dark Brown Skin, and his outfit consists of a pair of golden shoulder pads, a short-sleeved high-collared white shirt underneath, golden shimo, long black pants, and a pair of golden flip flops. His name is Eldoraggo, the Captain of the Golden Pirates in the East Blue and a Devil Fruit User as he is a Screamman.

"Of course not, Eldoraggo." One of the Pirates says nervously as another Pirate pouted.

"But, it almost hit us."

"Eh, it's your own fault for being there," Eldoraggo says dismissively while waving his hands around as the Golden Pirates groan loudly.

"I... I guess."

"Right, right, we just got our hands on some nice treasure."

"Is it gold? If it's not, throw it out." Eldoraggo says with a harsh glare as the Golden Pirates nod fearfully.

"Uh, actually, the treasure was blown up and disappeared into the ocean..."

"What?! How!?" Eldoraggo asked in shock as, unknown to them, a wet Nami could be seen spying on them as she peeked over the corner and growled angrily as a thick mark appeared on her head.

"Because Luffy and Asher decided to act like idiots and destroy or lose my treasure! The next time I see them, I will castrate them!" Nami thought to herself with a fierce glare as she imagined herself using a rusty knife to slash off the Boys' balls.

"Ugh, whatever, I don't care anymore. All I care about is finding Woonan's Gold Island. Can any one of you see it yet? It should be around here." Eldoraggo says while pulling out a map for Woonan's Gold Island as Nami's eyes widen in shock at the sight of it.

"That map... don't tell me..."

"I see it! The Gold Island! Woonan's Gold Island!" A Pirate yelled while standing on top of the landmass as he pointed ahead, and Eldoraggo and the Golden Pirate perked up at the sight of Woonan's Gold Island as it was planted on the horizon.

"We've finally found it!" Eldoraggo yelled with a huge grin on his face as Nami gasped sharply...before grinning slyly as a mischievous idea popped into her head and we then fast forward in time as we see Eldoraggo and the Golden Pirates docking their Pirate Ship on Woonan's Gold Island as they got out of their boat and landed down on the beach with Nami watching them go discreetly as she chuckled.

"He, he, he, perfect, now I know the island's location. All that's left is for me is to get the map." Nami says while using her binoculars to spy on the Golden Pirates as she then turns her head and is surprised to see the Going Merry hastily docked nearby. "The Going Merry?! That means..." Nami trails off as she turns her head and deadpans at the sight of a nervous and scared Usopp walking along the beach while being inside of a barrel as the Golden Pirates instantly spotted him and they made their way over to him.

"Ah, what a great nap!" A grinning Usopp yelled while escaping from his barrel as the Golden Pirates narrowed their eyes at him, and the Lying Sniper then gasped sharply as he pretended to look panicking. "Oh crap, I'm late, I'm late! I'm late for my date!" Usopp screamed while turning around as he tried to run away, only to collide with Eldoraggo and his two right-hand men as they glared down at him.

One of Eldoraggo's Right-Hand Men is a 12-feet-tall, 30-year-old Man with black eyes, long black hair that reaches down to his legs as it was tied up into dual low-hanging braids, thin black eyebrows, a big pointy nose, thick red lips, a sharp chin, Dark Brown Skin, a tall muscular build, and his outfit consists of that of a Native American Clothing. His name is Golass, a Mercenary for the Golden Pirates.

The Second of Eldoraggo's Right-Hand Men is a 10-feet-tall, 18-year-old Woman with blue eyes, long blonde hair that reaches down to her waist with bone hair ornaments on it, thin brown eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, G-Cup Breasts, Light Skin, a tall heavily muscular hourglass build, a huge thick hearty shape ass, and her outfit consists of a golden earring, a bone-like bikini top that barely hid her breasts, a yellow ripped bikini bottom, and a pair of high heel yellow boots as she also had two giant brown straps wrapped around her chest in an 'X' formation as it held two giant brown clubs. Her name is Ava, the Amazon of the Golden Pirates.

"Ow!" Usopp yelped in pain while stumbling backward as he cradled his head and glanced up at Eldoraggo and the others as he flinched nervously.

"Who are you?" Eldoraggo asked with a gruff tone as Usopp flinched anxiously before composing himself as he glared up at him.

"You don't know the great Captain Usopp?! You're not that great!"

"Maybe he is the same as us, looking for the treasure on this island," Ava asked in a loud and booming tone as Usopp was briefly distracted by the sight of her giant barely hid breasts and blushed heavily before composing himself as he shook his head.

"Eh, Kaya's breasts are better...I-I mean, not that I-I stare at my best friend's breasts like that! I'm a gentlemen-Wait, who am I trying to save face from? Nobody can read my mind. Anyway, looking for treasure? What's going on here? Who the heck are these guys?"

"Ava? Crush this welp." Eldoraggo ordered while taking out a few pieces of gold and tossing them over to Ava, who caught them as she nodded stoically and walked forward as Usopp glanced up at her warily.

"W-What are you going to do to me?" Usopp asked as Ava bent down and grabs onto a large rock as she placed it in between her breasts and, without flinching, the Amazon squished her breasts together as she was able to shatter apart the rock with ease, surprising and scaring Usopp as he took a couple of steps back in horror. "Wait, wait, wait! Hold on! You guys shouldn't be so hasty! I mean, I don't want my head to be squished to death like a watermelon! Besides, if you kill me, you won't be able to find the treasure! Ever!"

"What?!" A shocked Eldoraggo asked as his Golden Pirate Crew mumbled to each other in shock.

"Do you know where the treasure is, Little Man?" Ava asked with narrowed, angry eyes as Usopp nodded vigorously

"Of course, I know! If you take this famous treasure hunter, the great Usopp, I'll show you places where you can find diamonds, rubies, sapphires etc, etc!"

"Diamonds and Rubies..." Eldoraggo asked dryly as Usopp nodded shakingly.

"Sapphires and others-,"

"Kill him!"

"Why?" A stunned Usopp asked as Eldoraggo held out his hand and flexed his golden claws.

"What I want is...gold!"

"G-Gold, of course! I know where a mountain of gold is buried!" Usopp says with an awkward laugh as he then sweatdropped a bit when he spotted Eldoraggo rubbing his hands against his face and mumbling 'Gold' with a hearty blush on his face. "What's wrong with this guy?" Usopp asked himself incredulously before yelping in surprise as Ava pulled out her two clubs and smacked them near Usopp, nearly hitting him as he trembled in fear with a pale face as Eldoraggo composed himself and glared at him stoically.

"Where is it?"

"Of course, I will show you, ut without a map, l can't really show you where it is."

"Here's the map." A Random Pirte says while handing the map over to Usopp, who flinches in surprise as he turns to him incredulously.

"No way. You really have one." A gulping Usopp says while reaching over to grab it as he opens up the treasure map. "This is a treasure map, huh? Alright, let me read it...'The great pirate Woonan's greatest treasures. Look to the hill from the south. If the whale faces west, then the tail...',"

"The writing is smudged after that, so we can't read it." Another Pirate says as Usopp hums a bit before closing up the map, and he turns to Eldoraggo.

"If the whale faces west...then the tail is to the east."

"Wait, what?!" A shocked Eldoraggo as the rest of the Golden Pirates mumbled to each other in surprise.

"If the whale faces west then, of course, the tail obviously points to the east, which means the treasure is in the opposite direction to where the whale faces," Usopp says as Eldoraggo looks amazed by what he said.

"I see, so that's how it was."

"These guys are freakin' idiots..." Usopp thought to himself incredulously with a big sweatdrop on his head.

"All right, let's go, Golden Pirates!" Eldoraggo screamed with the Golden Pirate cheering in unison as they then reached over to grab onto a worried and surprised Usopp as they started dragging him away.

"You always make me worry..." Nami stated deadpanedly while looking through her binoculars as she then yelped in surprise when the orange-haired woman spotted a pair of black eyes in front of her and pulled back her head to see Cottontail. "WILL YOU STOP SCARING ME, YOU FUCKING RAT?!" Nami asked angrily with white eyes and shark teeth but then paused a bit as she blinked. "Wait a minute, if you're here, then that means..." Nami trailed off while looking through her binoculars as she turned her head and gasped in shock as she spotted Gonzo's Oden Shop docked nearby and spotted a pissed-off Asher, Luffy, and Zoro sitting on the deck while chained up by a big black anchor as a glaring Gonzo stood in front of them, and Tobio can be seen cleaning some dishes on a nearby tiny river. "Whoa, it is them after all...eh, I'll just pretend I didn't see them."

"NAMI" Cottontail screeched while flying around Nami as he latched onto her shirt and began pulling her back as she yelped in pain and glared at him as the Money-Loving Bitch huffed.

"Fine, I will find a way to try and help them...after I find Woonan's Treassure~," Nami says with a sly grin while running off as Cottontail purred in annoyance but followed after her as he gave his Master an apologetic look.

"Damn you old man, you didn't have to go so far!"

"I told you that we'll pay for it by working on the ship!"

"How strong are you to be able to tie us up with your freaking anchor?!" Zoro, Luffy, and Asher screamed in unison as Gonzo scoffed and rolled his eyes as he pointed over at a hard-working Tobio.

"Having him work for me is enough. Eat and run people should just shut up."

"We didn't run! Cottontail did...well, he more fly away, but still!" Asher pointed out as Gonzo leaned down to him.

"Then can you pay the bill?!"

"Don't worry, I can pay for our meal." Luffy says with a smirk, shocking everyone as he gestures over at his left pocket, and a suspicious Gonzo goes over to reach down into his pocket as he deadpans at the sight of a small rock with Luffy's signature on it as it reads, 'A gift from the Future King of the Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy!'.

"...DON'T BE A FREAKING IDIOT!" Gonzo yelled while throwing a rock at Luffy's head as he yelped in surprise.

"Ah, wait, I see, now I understand why you brought us to this island. You're going to make us look for the gold." Zoro says with a sly grin as Gonzo rolls his eyes with a scoff just as a big gust of wind appears as it sends Luffy's Straw Hat flying off into the air.

"Oh! Tobio! Can you get that for me?! It's very important!" A worried Luffy screamed as Tobio perked up and stood up from the floor as he ran over to then jumped up and grabbed onto Luffy's Straw Hat as Gonzo turned to glare at him sternly.

"Hurry up and keep cleaning! If you keep day-dreaming like that you won't grow up to be like me!"

"What?! Don't decide what to do for me! When did I ever say I wanted to sell Oden?!"

"Don't talk back to me, you powerless midget! Just do what I say!" Gonzo ordered as Asher turned to share an awkward look with Zoro.

"Man, this is very awkward." Asher says with Zoro nodding in agreement as Tobio glares furiously at his Grandfather.

"Cut the crap! You always talk about the freakin' oden! Is the oden that important? I've had it! I'm going to find Woonan, and I'll never come back again!" Tobio shouted while kicking down the pile of dishes, and he proceeded to stomp on it mercilessly, breaking them apart as the Pirate Wannabe then turned around to run away.

"Ah, my hat! Wait! Give it back! Tobio!" Luffy exclaimed panickedly while getting up from the ground as he ran over to jump out of Gonzo's Oden Shop and landed on the ground as the Future King of the Pirates ran forward and was able to carry around Asher and Zoro with ease as Luffy then paused and turned around to face Gonzo. "Pops, I'll definitely pay you back for the oden! Don't worry!" Luffy screamed while turning around to then run away as Gonzo's scolding demeanor was replaced with a somber one as he sighed heavily and shook his head.

"What is this?" A bewildered Usopp asked as we saw him and the Golden Pirates standing in front of a giant mechanical whale placed on top of a high hill.

"It's a whale, right?" Eldoraggo asked Golass and Ava, who nodded as Usopp then composed himself and stared at the giant metal whale suspiciously.

"If the whale faces west, and the tail points to the east, then that means the treasure is...that's it!" Usopp yelled while turning to the right as he gasped in shock at the sight of a big castle placed near the hill and we then cue back with Tobio, who was currently running through the forest with a pissed-off look on his face as he then yelped in surprise when Luffy and co rushed past him at high speeds before running back as they stopped near him.

"Tobio, my hat," Luffy said to Tobio, who perked up and blushed in embarrassment as he held up the straw hat, and Luffy lowered his head to allow Tobio to put it on for him as he smiled. "Great, okay, let's go back, Guys," Luffy says while turning to the Boys as Asher nods, and Zoro can be seen fast asleep as his Captain raises an eyebrow. "What? Zoro's sleeping?"

"Yeah, I don't know why he went to asleep." Asher says with a shrug as Luffy nods just as Tobio gains a thoughtful look as he walks up to them.

"You guys, I'd have to be strong to join Woonan's crew, right?" Tobio asked with a shy and quiet tone as Asher and Luffy nodded. "Well, it's just that I don't think I'm strong enough to join the way I am now..."

"Then just become stronger, duh," Asher stated matter-of-factly as Tobio glanced up at him in shock. "I used to be weak like you before I learned to grow strong. If I can do it, then you can too."

"Yeah, I have my ambitions, Asher has his own ambition, and you have your ambitions, which means you should just keep walking forward towards that goal," Luffy says with a nod as Tobio stared up at them in awe and amazement as the Rubberman then paused a bit and frowned as he looked around. "Wait, I just realized something, which way is the coast?"

"Don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." Asher says with a shrug.

"...What a couple of simpletons." Tobio stated blankly with a big sweatdrop on his head as he shook his head, and we cue back over to Usopp as we see him walking through the jungle with the Golden Pirates walking behind him as Nami and Cottontail could be seen following after them as they shared a look and Asher's Pet gave her a stern look as she sighed heavily, but nodded as the Duo then ran off.

"Hurry up and keep walking."

"I got it already." Usopp says with a glare as another Golden Pirate looks around with a suspicious glare on his face.

"I'm pretty sure that the gold is somewhere around that castle we just saw. The problem is, where in that castle?"

"No problem, this guy knows, right?" A Third Golden Pirate says while gesturing at Usopp as he sweated nervously and nodded.

"Of course I know, I was close friends with Woonan."

"What, with Woonan?" A bewildered Eldoraggo asked as Usopp perked up, gaining an idea as he stopped walking and turnd to face the others with a smug grin on his face.

"That's right! If you dare to do anything to me, Woonan's crew won't take it lying down!" Usopp yelled confidently with a taunting tone as the Golden Pirates paused for a bit before throwing back their heads as they all laughed loudly.

"Woonan's crew is no longer a part of this world." Eldoraggo stated coldly as Usopp slowly blinked in surprise.

"What? What does that mean?" A heavily confused Usopp asked as one of the Golden Pirates gave him a sinister look.

"It means we took care of them already, with our own hands."

"The last guy we killed had the map. The map shows the island where Woonan's gold lies."

"Since they're not here anymore, it's only natural for us to take the gold." Several Golden Pirates say as Eldoraggo glared down at his crew with a furious glare on his face.

"It's not 'Us'! The gold is mine!" Eldoraggo scremed as the Golden Pirates flinched nervously and began trying to apologize to their Captain as Usopp took the chance to try and sneak away, only to be caught by Ava as she stomped towards him and reached over to grab him by the back of his overalls as the Amazon Beuty lifted him up into the air.

"Where do you think you're going? Trying to escape?" Ava asked with a fierce glare, gaining everyone's attention as they turned to glare at an anxious-looking sweating Usopp.

"No... I need to go to the toilet. Holding it in your bladder is not a good thing to do."

"This guy's definitely suspicious. Do you really know where the gold is?" A Golden Pirate asked with a scowl as Usopp nodded vigorously.

"Come on, guys, do I look like someone who'd lie?" Usopp asked with a shaky grin as his nose grew longer. "I'm a very trustworthy person really. Of course, that goes without saying. I've never told a single lie ever since I was born." Usopp says with his nose growing bigger and bigger as Eldoraggo narrows his eyes and is about to say something, but then-

"Eldoraggo! The road ahead is blocked!" A Golden Pirate yelled while pointing ahead as the Gang spotted a giant pile of rocks placed in front of them, blocking them from their route to Woonan's Castle as they walked up to it. "What should we do?"

"Hey, hey, are you serious? We came this far only to change routes?"

"Don't worry. Golass, Ava?" Eldoraggo asked while reaching into his pocket to throw a handful of gold to his Right-Hand Men, who nodded as Ava dropped a grunting Usopp, and the Duo walked over to the pile of rocks as a stoic Ava raised her leg and proceeded to stomp onto the ground, creating a big earthquake that propelled all of the rocks up into the air as Golass crouched down into the ground and then jumped up high into the air as he proceeds to slash apart all of the rocks into tiny pieces, shocking and terrifying Usopp as Golass landed near Ava. "That thing was a piece of cake for Golass and Ava."

"Ah, man, we're back here again." Asher says with a pout as Luffy runs him and Zoro over to a small hill with Tobio running after them as he growls at them angrily.

"What are we gonna do now? We're lost!"

"Don't be angry." Luffy chastises as Zoro, who had woken up a while back, turnd his head to face Tobio.

"Anyways, Woonan's castle should be somewhere on this island. All we have to do is find that."

"In that case, why are we walking around in circles?" Tobio asked incredulously as Asher rolled his eyes and gestured at Zoro.

"Because we let Zoro tell us where to go. I feel like that was a big mistake." Asher chided before yelping in pain as a glaring Zoro elbowed him.

"Shut up, Asher. Anyway, look, kid, if we knew where we were, there wouldn't be a problem."

"What does that mean?" Tobio asked with a raised eyebrow as Luffy smiled at him cheerfully.

"Don't be impatient. You'll get hungry."

"You guys!" Tobio screamed childishly while waving his hands around in exasperation and annoyance as the Boys laughed amusedly.

"Amazing! This is Woonan's Castle!" An awed Usopp yelled as we saw him and the Golden Pirates standing in front of Woonan's Castle.

"Okay, where's the gold?! Where?!" Eldoraggo asked as Usopp flinched in surprise and sweated nervously as he did the first thing that came into his mind.

"My stomach growls, it growls! My stomach goes pa pi pu pe po~!" Usopp sang while doing a weird yet funny noddle dance as he then stopped and turned to the Golden Pirates. "That's how it goes."

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" The Golden Pirates asked furiously with white eyes and shark teeth as they then walked up to the Lying Sniper.

"So you really don't know, huh? What should we do?" A Golden Pirate asked as Eldoraggo narrowed his eyes furiously.

"Kill him!" Eldoraggo ordered as the Golden Pirates nodded and pulled out their swords as they stalked over to Usopp, who flinched nervously and raised his hands panickedly as the Golden Pirates were about to kill him, but then-

"Hey, Kamesuke! You betrayed me!" Nami exclaimed while appearing at the entrance of Woonan's Castle with Cottontail riding around on her left shoulder as the Golden Pirates turned to her in shock.

"Who are you?" A confused Eldoraggo asked as Usopp looked equally confused.

"I am Josephine, the Granddaughter of the Great Gold Pirate, Woonan!" Nami shouted, surprising everyone yet again as she then pointed down at Usopp. "Kamesuke, you told them, didn't you? That the gold is hidden under this gate!"

"Under the gate?" Usopp thought to himself curiously...before grinning slyly as he then placed his hands on his head and pretended to cry out in dismay and misery. "Lady Josephine, what should we do now?! If you continue to dig and dig for three days straight, you'll find the gold! Of course, I would never tell you this...oh, damn, I said too much!" A panicking Usopp yelled while covering his mouth worriedly as Nami and Cottontail sweatdrop at him awkwardly.

"You're overdoing lt, Usopp, it's not believable." Nami mumbled to herself dryly as Cottontail nodded, and the orange-haired woman then smirked sneaky as she turned to him. "But giving me three days to search through Woonan's Castle for his treasure is plenty enough for me to do so." Nami says with a mischievous giggle as Cottontail shakes his head with a groan.

"Eldoraggo, let's start digging! We should be done in three days." A Golden Pirate says as Eldoraggo shakes his head.

"There's no need. Fifteen seconds is enough." Eldoraggo says while raising his hands over his head as a golden aura begins covering his body.

"It's coming, his devil power!" One of the Golden Pirates screamed worriedly while he and the others turned around to run away as Nami looked confused.

"What?"

"Oh no! Nami! Cottontail Run!" Usopp screamed panickedly while running over to tackle the Duo into the ground just as Eldoraggo roared out a huge blue/white laser beam that zooms towards them as Cottontail reacted quickly and broke his body apart as he formed himself into a giant dome around Nami and Usopp, protecting them from the laser boom as it collided against Woonan's Castle, creating a huge hole on it as a roaring Eldoraggo continued damaging the castle over ad over again.

"What the? What's that?" A bewildered Asher asked as he and the others heard a huge explosion nearby as they turned their heads and spotted a bunch of black smoke emitting from a nearby castle.

"That's...That's Woonan's Castle!" A stunned Tobio yelled as Zoro narrowed his eyes.

Then that's where Woonan is."

"Tobio! Hold onto Zoro!" Luffy ordered as Tobio flinched in surprise but nodded as he leaped on top of Zoro to hold onto him. "Asher? Blast us of!" Luffy commanded as Asher grinned mischievously and nodded as Tobio raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"Wait, what are you-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tobio asked confusedly before screaming in fear as Asher summoned a huge explosion underneath him, and it sent the Group flying up into the air as they were sent flying through the air and headed straight towards Woonan's Castle as we cued over to said person and we see Eldoraggo roaring multiple giant laser blasts at Woonn's Castle as the Golden Pirates cheered at him.

"Thanks, Cottontail." Usopp says gratefully as, once the Captain of the Golden Pirates finished with his roar of destruction, Cottontail morphed himself to normal and landed on Usopp's right shoulder as Nami stared at Eldoraggo in shock.

"This sound technique...he has the Scream-Scream Fruit!"

"So it's a Devil Fruit?" Usopp asked with a raised eyebrow as Nami nodded.

"They say it has the power to transform sound into the power of destruction. The rumors were right."

"Damn it, at this rate, Woonan's Castle will be destroyed," Usopp says with a glare as Nami rubs her chin with a glare.

"Who the hell went and told him the gold was under there?"

"THAT WOULD BE YOU!" Usopp and Cottontail scremed in unison while glaring furiously at Nami, who giggled sheepishly as Eldoraggo then stopped roaring and grinned devilishly at the sight of the nearly destroyed Woonan's Castle.

"If I blow everything up, the gold will eventually appear," Eldoraggo says with a laugh but then stops as the Gang heard a loud scream ranging above them and raised their heads to see Asher and the others falling down through the air as they then crashed down into the ground, creating a small crater around them as Eldoraggo stared down at the Boys in shock.

"Oi! Shut up! Shut up the fuck already, lion! You're hurting my ears!" Luffy snapped while glaring at Eldoraggo as he was able to climb out of the crater with the others as a stunned Tobio crashed down into the ground behind them. "Lion? Oh, sorry, I goofed. I meant to say cat." Luffy says apologetically as Asher turned to him.

"Actually, Luffy, Lions are cats."

"Wait for real?!"

"Who the hell are you three!?" Eldoraggo asked as Luffy turned back to him.

"Me? I'm Luffy. The man who's gonna be King of the Pirates, and these guys tied to me is Zoro and Asher."

"Hey/Yo." Zoro and Asher greeted casually as Luffy then turned around to face Woonan's Castle.

"Woonan! You there?! Answer if you are!" Luffy asked as Eldoraggo blinked a couple of times before throwing back his head as he lets out a loud laugh.

"What are you talking about?! That guy died a long time ago!"

"...You don't know that until you see him," Luffy says with an emotionless tone as he turns to glare at the Captain of the Golden Pirates stoically. "Even if there's only one person who thinks he's still alive then he may still be alive!" Luffy yelled as Eldoraggo narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, why are they chained together like that?" Usopp asked in bewilderment while Nami and Cottontail shrugged as Tobio suddenly recovered from the crash landing and ran over to stand in front of the Boys with a nervous yet determined glare on his face.

"Move aside! I'll protect Woonan's gold by myself!" Tobio scremed as he gripped his wooden sword in an awkward fighting stance. "On this island lies the precious gold which Woonan risked his life to get! I won't let evil men like you do as you please! Leave this island at once!" Tobio yelled as Eldoraggo stared down at him blankly and merely reached down to grab onto the wooden sword as he lifted a surprised Tobio up into the air.

"Do you want to die that badly?" Eldoraggo asked before tossing Tobio up into the air as he was about to slash him in half, but then-

"Bomu Bomu No...Takeoff!" Asher exclaimed while generating a big explosion underneath his feet as he sent him and the others flying up into the air as the black-haired man started twirling them around rapidly in mid-air, creating a big black smoke cloud around their bodies and obstructing them from view as Luffy reached over to grab Tobio while Zoro bends his head backwards and was able to latch onto one of his swords with his mouth as he used them to block Eldoraggo's attack.

"Hmmm, you're a pretty good swordsman," Eldoraggo says with a glare as Zoro lands on the ground with the rest of the Boys being raised up into the air as Luffy holds up Tobio his legs and Asher holds onto the black anchor with his leg. "But you can't stop me!" Eldoraggo screamed while running over to throw a punch at the Group with Zoro leaping away and twirled around as he landed on the ground with Luffy and Asher looked unfazed by the act, but Tobio looked sick as they were forced to slide down into an empty river due to Eldoraggo rushing towards them as he begins swiping his golden claws at the Boys with Zoro being able to block his attacks as Asher thought quickly and hooked the black anchor around his legs as he begins spinning it around rapidly.

"Bomu Bomu No...Anchor Flail Bomb!" Asher exclaimed while covering the anchor with a pink aura as he then flung the anchor over to collide against Eldoraggo's chest and caused a big explosion that blew him back, shocking Tobio as Zoro grinned sinisterly and was about to try and rush over to deliver the finishing blow, but was halted by Luffy s he turned to his Captain confusedly.

"Hey Luffy, don't stop me! Let me kill him!"

"I'm not stopping you." Luffy stated bluntly as Zoro, Asher, and Tobio glanced over at the Rubberman...and went wide-eyed in shock and worry as they all realized that his stretched-out leg got caught in between two giant rocks.

"...Shit!" Zoro, Asher, and Tobio screamed just as Luffy's stretchy leg was forcibly retracted as it sends the Boys flying up into the air as they disappeared from sight.

"...What was that?" A bewildered Eldoraggo asked as the Golden Pirates Crew shrugged and turned their heads as it was only now that they noticed that Nami, Usopp, and Cottontail had left. "Wait, what happened to Josephine and Kamesuke?" Eldoraggo asked in shock as we then cue back over to Asher and the others, and we see them resting on top of the high hill that possessed the giant metal whale as Nami, Usopp, and Cottontail appeared as they ran/flew over to them.

"What, what on Earth happened?" A bewildered Tobio asked as Usopp ran over to check on him while Nami checked on the boys.

"For crying out loud, what a bother. Hold on, let me unlock the chains." Nami says while reaching up to pull out some hairclips from out of her hair as Asher shakes his head.

"Don't worry, I got this," Asher says while raising his hand as he taps the lock, causing it to blow up with a tiny controlled explosion as the chains are unlocked, freeing the Boys as a shocked Zoro turns to the Bombman.

"What the hell?! You could've done that this whole time!?"

"Yep."

"Then why didn't you free us before?!" Zoro asked incredulously as Asher shrugged.

"Nobody asked if I could blow up the lock for us. Plus, admittedly, I didn't even have to do that in the first place. Between the three of us, we would've had enough strength to easily break apart the chains." Asher says as Zoro opens his mouth...but then pauses a bit as he grumbles in annoyance, and Cottontail flies over to land in Asher's lap as he licks his face. "Ha, ha, ha, good to see you again, Cottontail." Asher says while rubbing his head as Cottontail rubs his head.

"Hey Nami, can you lend me some money?" Luffy asked Nami bluntly as she gave him a bewildered look.

"Why?"

"They didn't pay it." Tobio grumbled under his breath after Usopp finished checking on him as he turned to glare at Luffy. "Why don't you just pretend not to remember? It's just Oden."

"Who's the boy?" Nami asked with a raised eyebrow as Luffy turned to her.

"Tobio."

"Who's Tobio?"

"Him." Asher says while pointing over at Tobio, who turns around to run over to the end of the hill.

"Yeah, I know but I want to know who Tobio is!"

"It's just Tobio." Luffy stated bluntly.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN AND YOU TWO KNOW IT!" Nami snapped with a furious glare as Cottontail turned to glance at Tobio and flew over to land beside him to peer over the ledge of the hill to see the destroyed rubble of Woonan's Castle.

"Woonan's Castle..."

"I guess the gold is under all that rubble." Usopp says while walking up to Tobio with said person turning to glare up at the Lying Sniper angrily.

"What!? Are you after the gold too?!"

"No, that's not what I mean! The gold's Woonan's! If he's still alive!" Usopp yelled with a nervous laugh while raising his hands in surrender as the others walked up to them.

"The gold isn't there. Neither is Woonan." Nami says as Asher turns to her in surprise.

"How do you know?"

"Can't you tell?" Nami asked with a sly grin while reaching into her breasts to pull out a treasure map as Asher blushed lightly at this and looked away. "That castle doesn't have any trace of anyone living there. It must be a decoy. Woonan is probably somewhere else."

"Wait, is that a treasure map?" A confused Zoro asked as Usopp perked up at the sight of it.

"Hey, that's Woonan's Treasure Map! Where did you get it?!"

"I swiped it away from the Golden Pirates when we were escaping after the Boys started fighting their Captain," Nami says before reaching into her pockets to pull out a light as she holds it below the treasure map. "Now, there's a smudge here on the map and we can't see it, so we most likely need a source of light to reveal the true message hidden on the map."

"Whoa, really?" An amazed Luffy asked as Nami nodded with a wink.

"Yep, it's a pretty simple trick really." Nami says while turning on the lighter as a small flame appears below Woonan's Treasure Map. "Look, something is showing up. Soon, we will be able to find Woonan's Golden Treasure..." Nami says before trailing off as, due to the lighter being too close to the treasure map, it caused it to burn Woonan's Treasure Map into ashes completely.

"...NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Asher, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Cottontail screamed furiously with multiple thick marks on their heads as they had white eyes and shark teeth.

"Now, let's head for the Grand Line!" Nami yelled with a cheerful yet anxious tone while pointing ahead as Asher ran over to grab onto her shoulders and began shaking her around.

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

"Ugh, great, what are we going to do without a map?" Cottontail asked with a glare while flying over to land on Luffy's left shoulder as he shrugged.

"Don't know. The only clue about Woonan is gone."

"Oi, Usopp, since you recognized the map, was there something written on that map?" Zoro asked Usopp, who looked depressed as he moped and sighed heavily as the Lying Sniper walked over to place his hand on the giant metal whale.

"Umm, I think... it said...'The treasure sleeps. Look south of the hill. If the whale faces west, the tail points to the east'," Usopp says as a shocked Asher and Nami turn to him.

"Eh, really?"

"Yeah, Woonan's Castle is to the east," Usopp says as Asher raises an eyebrow and points over at the whale.

"But the tail is pointing over to the north."

"What?!" A shocked Usopp asked as Asher nodded, and the Lying Sniper turned over to glance at the giant metal whale as he was shocked to see that the tail WAS pointing to the north. "Holy shit The whale tail is not pointing to the east! Then that means the end of it is..." Usopp trailed off while he and the others slowly turned their heads as they spotted a huge ass mountain placed nearby. "...North!"

---

"Don't get blown away!" Usopp yelled as he and the others could be seen climbing up Woonan's Mountain while being careful to climb it due to how steep the mountain was as the harsh wind wasn't doing anyone any favors and, due to Tobio not being as strong or as athletic as them, he could be seen being flown upwards by Cottontail, who wrapped his lower body around Tobio's body as he started flying them upwards.

"If we climb up this cliff, we'll definitely see Woonan." An excited Tobio says as Luff nods.

"We'll be able to meet Woonan!"

"If he's still alive," Zoro stated bluntly as Asher winced but nodded in agreement as he didn't believe that Woonan was alive either. He would've come out by now with all of the commotion they did.

"Either way, I'll be taking the gold." Nami mumbled to herself with a greedy smile on her face as she chuckled.

"Hey, Guys, I found a good place for us to rest," Luffy says with a grin while climbing halfway up the mountain with Cottontail flying over to place Tobio down on the ground as Asher and the others are able to climb up as well and spot the Future King of the Pirates pointing over a cave as they ran over to it and were surprised to see Gonzo taking a break inside of the cave with a bent wrapped around his head.

"Grandpa?" A surprised Tobio asked as Gonzo turned to them in shock.

"Why are you guys here?" Gonzo asked as Asher and the others proceeded to explain to him what happened. "Hmmm, I see, the treasure map..."

"What are you doing here, Pops?" Luffy asked curiously as Gonzo rolled his eyes playfully and scoffed.

"Burying treasure in the highest place has always been his way of doing things. On this island, this is the only place he would do it."

"Wait a minute, Grandpa...you knew about Woonan?!" A shocked Tobio asked as Nami gasped sharply.

"Have you met him before?!" Nami asked as Gonzo looked away solemnly and sighed heavily as he nodded.

"He and I were like brothers, growing up in the same village," Gonzo says as he proceeds to tell Asher and the others about his backstory with Woonan as, basically, Woonan hated living poor, so he decided to become a Pirate to find all of the gold in the world and wanted Gonzo to go with him to become his right-hand man but he refused due to wanting to be an Oden Seller and this lead for them to fight and almost die by falling off a cliff but Gonzo was able to sacrifice himself to save his Best Friend and allow him to fulfill his dream of becoming the Golden Pirate.

"Whoa...did you die?" Luffy asked cluelessly as everyone turned to glare at him in annoyance.

"He's still alive, you idiot!" Usopp screamed while pointing over at Gonzo as said person lowered his head sadly.

"By chance, a ship passed nearby at that time. It was the first miracle in the village."

"What, you didn't die?"

"NO, HE/I DIDN'T!" Asher and the others screamed at Luffy angrily as Nami slammed her fist down on his head to shut him up.

"Anyway, when I woke up three days after the incident, Woonan had already left the village on his journey, and we've never seen each other since."

"Wow, I didn't know that. I can't believe that Grandma used to be best friends with Woonan." A stunned Tobio says as Gonzo smiles fondly.

"The Woonan I remember changed since. That stubborn, obstinate man wouldn't try my oden back then, but now... I think he would eat it now. This pot of oden which I've put my life into..."

"A pot of oden which you've put your life into?" An amazed Luffy and Asher say in unison while sharing a look as they nod.

"Well, in that case, we better stop dilly-dallying and move," Asher says as Gonzo smiles warmly and nods.

"Yes, let's not waste our time here or the oden will get cold."

"Okay, let's go!" Luffy exclaimed with the others nodding in agreement as they turned around to walk out of the cave and continue climbing up Woonan's Mountain as they were able to eventually arrive at the top and spotted a large hut placed in front of them. "A hut!" Luffy yelled as he and the others ran over to it, and Asher kicked down the door as they were surprised to see how empty the place was, except for a suspicious-looking blue fireplace placed in front of them.

"Whoa, it's empty here," Asher says as Nami frowns and runs off into another room, and Cottontail flies off to another one as, after a few minutes of waiting, both of them come back.

"It's empty over there too."

"Ditto," Cottontail says while flying over to land on Asher's shoulder as Tobio looks around curiously.

"Did Woonan really live here?"

"There aren't any tables or chairs. There's only a very common fireplace." Zoro says while pointing over at the fireplace as he then narrows his eyes at it and scoffs as the Master Swordsman walks over to kick the side of the fireplace, revealing it to be a fake as it skids to the side to reveal a secret passageway planted on the ground.

"That's amazing, how did you find that?!" Luffy exclaimed in shock and awe as even Usopp looked surprised.

"Any idiot should be able to find this!" Zoro snapped as Asher walked over to inspect the hole in the ground.

"Hmmm, it looks like this passageway leads into some kind of underground bunker."

"Woonan should be down there, then," Tobio said with a nod as Nami giggled mischievously.

"Along with his mountain of gold." Nami said while she and the others walked forward as Zoro and Asher were about to follow after them, but stopped as their Superhuman Senses picked up the sounds of a sword slashing through the air, and the Duo gasped sharply as they ran over to tackle the others just as a huge explosion occurred as that obliterated the hut into a billion of pieces and, once the explosion died down, we see Cottontail forming a large dome around the group as he then morphed back to normal and we see Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp lying on the floor with Gonzo hovering over Tobio protectively as Nami can be seen in Asher's arms and, after composing themselves, they then separated from each other with big blushes on their faces as the Gang was then shocked to see the Golden Pirates standing in front of them.

"If the whale faces west, the tail points to the east...what a bunch of crap!" Eldoraggo screamed with a glare as a few of the Golden Pirates went over to inspect the secret passageway.

"Eldoraggo, there's an entrance here."

"Ah, so there is gold down there." Eldoraggo says with a maniacal laugh as he then turns to his crew. "Okay, you guys bring it out." Eldoraggo ordered as a glaring Tobio tried to run over to attack the Captain of the Golden Pirates with a rock, only for Gonzo to run over to pull him away as Eldoraggo ended up bitch slapping him away, knocking off his bento as it crashed down into the ground. "Hmmm? What's this? Gold?" Eldoraggo asked curiously as a groaning Gonzo tried to crawl over to fetch his food, only for the Captain of the Golden Pirates to walk over and kick the pot open as he was surprised and annoyed to see only some Oden lying on the ground.

"Stop! That is the oden Grandpa put his life into for Woonan! You people don't touch it!" Tobio screamed with a glare as Eldoraggo blinked a couple of times slowly...before grinning sinisterly as he raised his leg and began stomping down on Gonzo's Oden, shocking the Kid and angering Luffy, Asher, and Zoro as Gonzo could only watch in despair and horror as his cooking got ruined.

"Are you satisfied now?" Eldoraggo asked as Tobio teared up and lets out a loud and angered scream as he rushed over to try and throw his rock at the Captain of the Golden Pirates, who merely raised his arm as he was about to try and slash apart the little brat, only to be punched away by Luffy's stretchy fist as he stumbled backwards. "What the hell?! And who're you?!" Eldoraggo asked Luffy, who ignored him and went over to Gonzo's dropped and destroyed Oden as he bends down and scooped it up into his hands as the Future King of the Pirates began eating it, much to the Golden Pirates, Nami, and Usopp confusion and shock while Zoro, Asher, and Cottontail smiled proudly as Luyffy finished eating his dinner and grinned widely as he laughed.

"Delicious! It's no doubt that Pops' oden is the world's best! I will not forgive you for this!" Luffy screamed while glaring at Eldoraggo coldly as he grumbled angrily.

"What are you babbling about?! Take care of them, Golass and Ava!" Eldoraggo ordered as his Minions nodded, and they rushed over to attack Lufy, only for Zoro to rush over to lock blades with Golass while Asher jumped up to tackle a surprised Ava into the ground with his monstrous strength.

"Zoro! Asher!"

"Luffy, Asher and I will handle these peons. You handle the big threat," Zoro says with a growl as Luffy's face grows grim, and nods as the Golden Pirates mumble to each other in shock.

"Hey...that guy using the Three-Sword Style!"

"Zoro!"

"That's the Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro!" Multiple Golden Pirates screamed as Golass and Zoro then separated from each other as they held up their blades, and Eldoraggo scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

"It doesn't matter who he is. There's no one more skilled with swords than Golass! Golass! Cut this guy into pieces! I will give you 200 gold pieces for every cut! If you kill him it'll be 500!" Eldoraggo shouted as Golass growled and ran over to swing his sword down at Zoro, who once again blocked the attack with his three swords but was sent skidding back into a boulder as the collision caused numerous cracks to form on the surface of the boulder.

"Damn, powerful strength!"

"Go, Golass! I'll give you 1000...1000 gold pieces!" Eldoraggo screamed as Golass gritted his teeth and let out a loud roar as he was able to tackle Zoro onto the ground after going through the boulder as it shattered apart.

"Zoro!" Usopp yelled worriedly as Zoro could be seen lying down on the ground, still blocking Golass's attack, but even though he was in a very vulnerable position, Zoro had no fear in his eyes as he simply stared up at Golass stoically, surprising him as he raised a confused eyebrow.

"What are you ashamed of?" Zoro asked, surprising Golass as he stared down at him in shock. "In your heart, you don't want to kill for that guy. Isn't that what you're thinking?"

"..."

"Your eyes...tell me that you are ashamed to draw your sword for gold! You've given up the pride of wielding a sword!"

"Golass, why are you hesitating?! Kill him!" Eldoraggo ordered as a grunting Zoro was able to kick Golass off of him and flipped backwards to land on the ground as he gave him an ominous look.

"You definitely have skill, but without the pride in your sword, you have a slight hesitation, and that split moment is the unmatched difference between you and me!" Zoro exclaimed as Golass grumbled and tried to charge over to slice him, but due to his hesitation, it left Zoro to have plenty of time to zoom forward and was able to slash his chest as he appeared behind him and Golass screamed in pain as gallons of blood was ejected out of his wounds and crashed down into the ground. "I avoided hitting your vital points. When you've regained the pride in your sword, come and challenge me again. I'll face you then." Zoro says stoically while putting away his swords as Golass gagged with blood, but said nothing as he passes out.

"I never knew he was so strong." A stunned Tobio says as Nami glances over at the fight between Asher and Ava and giggles amusedly as she points at them.

"It's not over yet. It's too soon to be surprised." Nami says as Tobio perked up and turned over to see the fight between the Two Warriors.

"Bomu Bomu No...Bomb Throw!" Asher exclaimed as, after he and Ava crashed down into the ground, the Bombman rolled around and grabbed onto his opponent by her bone bikini as he infused her body with a pink aura and sends her flying away as Asher detonated his power in mid-air, causing a big explosion that sends Ava flying up into the air as, while she was covered with scuff marks, she was unharmed by the attack and merely reached behind her to pull out her clubs as the Amazong slammed them together and created a big shockwave that propelled herself down towards the Bombman.

"Bomu Bomu No...Smokebomb!" Asher screamed while twirling around as he clapped his hands, creating a big explosion after covering himself with a pink aura just as Ava crashed down into the ground as she slammed her clubs down on the floor, creating a big shockwave as a big smoke cloud rang out around them, covering Asher from view as Ava narrowed her eyes and looked around as she tried to search for her opponents.

"Bomu Bomu No...Missile..." Asher's voice rang out as Ava turned her head and spotted a humanoid body heading towards as she narrowed her eyes and held out her arms as she was able to catch onto the mysterious object, which happened to be a large humanoid-shaped rock as the Amazon raised an eyebrow confusedly. "...Decoy Bomb Trap!" Asher shouted as Ava turned her head and was surprised to see Asher standing behind her as she growled irritably and was about to confront him, only to be surprised to see that the rock was infused with a pink aura as, before she could react, a huge explosion rang out that sends the screaming Amazon crashing down into the ground.

"Had enough?" Asher asked with a smirk as Ava could be seen residing inside of a smoking small crater and slowly raised herself up from the ground as she glared at him and rushed forward as the Amazon raised her clubs and slammed them down at Asher, who raised his hands as he was able to catch the clubs and a mild shockwave rang out as the ground cracked underneath the Bombman, but he was unfazed by the attack as Asher glanced up at Ava and, while he blushed a bit at the sight of her giant breasts hanging above him, the one-eyed man composed himself as he grinned slyly.

"You know, Ava, right? You are actually the first woman that I have ever fought and, while I will admit that you are definitely strong and have skill, there's a difference between us."

"And what is that?" Ava asked with a glare before gasping in shock as Asher started pushing her back.

"I'm fighting for the Future King of the Pirates!" Asher screamed while grunting loudly as he then thrust his hands forward and was able to have a gasping Ava stumble back. "And that's why I won't allow myself to lose this fight!" Asher shouted with a glare while crouching down into the ground as he than launched himself forward. "Bomu Bomu no...Bomb Punch!" Asher exclaimed while rearing back his arm as he clenched his fist and threw a powerful punch across Ava's chest with his hand burying itself in her boobs as the Amazon blushed heavily and gasped before screaming in pain as a big explosion rang out and it sends her flying back as she collided against a large piece of rock and moaned in pain as Ava slowly grows unconscious.

"Whoa! Asher is also a Devil Fruit User?!" A stunned Tobio asked as Nami nodded with a smirk.

"Yep, he ate the Bomu Bomu Fruit and now he's a Bombman," Nami explained as Luffy smiled widely, happy for his Crewmate's success in their battles as he then grew serious and turned around to face the Captain of the Golden Pirates.

"Now it's your turn." Luffy says coldly to Eldoraggo as said person growls furiously at having two of his Right-Hand Men getting defeated so easily by a couple of nobodies.

"Bastard, now you've really angered me!" An enraged Eldoraggo screamed while raising his hands above his head as a golden aura covered his body.

"Oh, crap! Run away!" Multiple Golden Pirates screamed as they turned around to run away.

"What?" A confused Gonzo asked before yelping in surprise as Nami, Usopp, and Cottontail ran/flew over to grab his arms and pulled him away just as Eldoraggo roared out a huge white/blue energy laser beam at Luffy, who merely reached over to grab onto two large spikes just as the laser beam collided against his chest and sends him flying back, but wasn't send flying off the mountain due to Lufy's stretchy arms holding onto the spikes tightly.

"Gum-Gum...Rocket!" Luffy exclaimed while retracting his arms as he sent himself flying back over to collide against Eldoraggo's chest, sending him crashing right into a nearby boulder, cracking and damaging it as he growled angrily.

"You...stop screwing around!" Eldoraggo shouted while roaring out another laser beam at Luffy, who swiftly twirled around to avoid the attack as he got into a fighting stance.

"What on earth is..." A stunned Gonzo says as a smirking Asher turns to him.

"Luffy ate one of the Devil Fruits. The Gum-Gum Fruit."

"And now he's a rubber man," Nami added as Tobio turned to her in shock.

"So he is a Devil Fruit User?" Tobio asked as she nodded.

"Gum-Gum...Pistol!" Luffy exclaimed while throwing a stretchy punch that flew over to collide with Eldoraggo's face.

"He did it!" Tobio cheered as Zoro narrowed his eyes stoically.

"No, wrong."

"What? What do you mean?" Tobio asked as Cottontail pointed ahead, and the Gang spotted Luffy's fist stuck inside Eldoraggo's jaws.

"That hurts! Let go!" Luffy yelled with a glare as Eldoraggo grinned slyly and reached up to grab onto the Rubberman's stretchy arm. "Hey! What're you doing?!" Luffy asked in shock before yelping in surprise as Eldoraggo reared back his arm and forced it to retract itself by force as he propelled himself forward to collide against the Future King of Pirates, sending them crashing through the boulder as it shattered apart. "That jerk's copying my attack!" Luffy shouted with a scowl before being forced to jump out of the way as Eldoraggo swung his fist down at him but missed and he ended up punching the ground.

"You!" Eldoraggo exclaimed furiously as he raised his arms and rushed towards Lufy as he began swiping his golden sharp claws at him with the Rubberman barely being able to dodge the attack as his chest got briefly slashed.

"This is bad! A rubber man's done for if he gets cut in half!" Usopp yelled worriedly as Luffy continued walking backwards at high speeds, but then yelped slightly as he tripped over a rock and crashed down into the ground as Eldoraggo rushed past him and whirled around to face the Rubberman, only for Luffy to react quickly as he got into a handstand and stretched over his legs to wrap them around the Captain of the Golden Pirates's neck.

"Gomu Gomu No...Gavel!" Luffy exclaimed while twisting himself around rapidly with his legs getting twisted as the Future King of the Pirates then swiftly untwisted himself, rapidly spinning a screaming Eldoraggo as Luffy then lifted him up into the air and slammed himself down into the ground, creating a huge hole on the ground as a mild shockwave rang out and, after morphing himself back to normal, Luffy then ran over to glance down at the hole as he then yelped in surprise when another huge blue/white energy laser beam collided against his body and sends him flying up into the air.

"Luffy!" Asher and the others screamed worriedly while glancing up into the air as Eldoraggo was able to climb himself up from the ground and grinned victoriously...but then paused as Luffy's stretchy arms flew down and latched onto his golden shoulder pads as he gripped them tightly.

"Gomu Gomu No...Rocket-Bell!" Luffy exclaimed while slingshotting himself downwards to collide against Eldoraggo's headfirst, creating a big shockwave as Luffy then used his golden shoulder pads to launch himself into the air and front flip over to land on the ground just as an injured and bruised Eldoraggo growled furiously as he climbed himself up from the ground and rushed over to began swiping at Luffy repeatedly with his golden claws as said person was able to avoid the attack narrowly before narrowing his eyes as he gritted his teeth.

"Gomu Gomu No...Gatling Punches!" Luffy shouted as he stretched out his arms and began punching a stunned Eldoraggo so fast that it looked like he had multiple arms as, once he was done, Luffy stopped and crouched down as he then jumped up high into the air. "Gomu Gomu No...Whip!" Luffy screamed as he reared back his left leg, and it stretched backwards as the black-haired man proceeded to throw a fierce stretchy kick at Eldoraggo's side, not only sending him flying over to crash down into the ground but his golden armor was also cracked and shatter apart as the Golden Pirates gasped in pure shock and horror.

"Eldoraggo's golden armor has been shattered!" A Golden Pirate screamed nervously while the others, especially Tobio, looked amazed and awe as Eldoraggo was able to recover from Luffy's attack and glared at him, absolutely livid as the Rubberman simply smiled widely and landed on the ground as the Captain of the Golden Pirates growled furiously.

"THE GOLD IS MINE!" Eldoraggo yelled while raising his arms above his head as a golden aura covered his body, and Luffy laughed joyfully as he reared back his head.

"Gomu Gomu No...Balloon..." Luffy trailed off as he breathed in a huge gust of wind, and his body was inflated like a balloon just as Eldoraggo let out a loud roar as he fired a huge blue/white laser energy beam that flew over to collide against Luffy's stomach with said person being able to stretch his arms and legs over to wrap around Eldoraggo's body as the Future King of the Pirates was sent flying back, but was unable to fly away due to him being attached to the Captain of the Gold Pirates. "...Throwback!" Luffy exclaimed as, after Eldoraggo was forced to close his mouth due to getting tired, he then retracted himself and flew over to collide against Eldoraggo, causing a huge explosion to occur as it blew up one-third of Woonan's Mountain.

"...The gold...is...is...is..." Eldoraggo trailed off while lying on the ground, incredibly damaged and barely alive as he shakingly got up from the ground.

"Gomu Gomu No...Bazooka!" Luffy screamed while morphing himself back to normal as he then stretched his arms forward, and his hands flew over to slam themselves against Eldoraggo's chest, causing him to scream in agony as he was sent flying out of Woonan's Mountain and sending him crashing down into the ocean.

"Eldoraggo...he...he lost?!" The Golden Pirates asked in shock with wide eyes as Luffy slowly turned to them, and the Pirates flinched in fear as they turned around to run away while picking up Golass as Ava was noticeably absent in their escape.

"Hey, Luffy!" Asher and the others yelled loudly while running up to Luffy as Tobio can be seen holding onto his Straw Hat, which was knocked away due to the fight as Luffy reached down to grab it and put it on with a wide smile on his face.

"Thanks, Tobio," Luffy says before glancing up at Gonzo as he gives him an apologetic look. "That's right, Pops. I'm sorry. l ate all of Woonan's Oden."

"Your stomach will get upset if you eat stuff like that." Gonzo chatises as Luffy merely laughs.

"My stomach's not gonna be upset. I'm a pirate." Luffy says with Gonzo smirking as the others smile, but then everyone grows serious as they glance over at the passageway hole in the ground.

---

"I finally get to meet Woonan." An excited and amazed Tobio says while he and the others walk down the tunnel leading supposedly to Woonan's Secret Bunker as Nami and Asher are holding onto two lanterns to help light the way for the others as they soon arrive at a wooden door.

"It's here," Asher says stoically as Luffy nods.

"Behind this door...is Woonan." Luffy says with Gonzo and Tobio gulping in anticipation as Nami reaches over to open the door and the Gang walks into the Secret Bunker as they are all shocked and horrified to see a skeleton sitting on a chair while wearing pirate clothes as there seems to be massive amounts of writing on the walls.

"This is..."

"No way! This can't be Woonan! It's a fake!" Tobio yelled in defiance and in denial as he stepped forward to glare at the bag of bones with tears in his eyes. "Woonan must be somewhere else!" Tobio screamed just as Gonzo walked over to place his hand on his shoulder as his Grandson glanced up at him and, after noticing the somber look on his face, came to the realization that his greatest idol was indeed dead, but before Tobio could start crying, Cottontail started screeching loudly.

"What's wrong, Cottontail?" Asher asked curiously as his Pet merely pointed upwards, and the Gang glanced over to where he was pointing at as they were shocked to see the writing on the wall.

"Hey, what's this?" A surprised Usopp asked as Gonzo narrowed his eyes at it.

"No doubt about it, Woonan's handwriting," Gonzo says with a nod as Asher and the others begin reading it.

"To the people who came here for the gold: My name is Woonan. Formerly known as the 'Great Gold Pirate',"

"But now I'm just a man waiting to die. All the gold I've gathered has been returned to its rightful owners."

"This was a battle. To fulfill my childhood dream, and to build a mountain of gold, the likes of which have never been seen before."

"But as I sit before it, the words of a wise man once said to me come to my mind, 'Gold can't laugh, it's just like a rock'. What he said is true."

"The thing I devoted my entire life to...it wasn't the gold. It was the adventure to find the gold."

"There's no gold here anymore, but instead, a treasure that's even more valuable. To others, this might be worthless, but to me, this is plenty."

"Please do not destroy this place. This is where my most precious treasure sleeps." Luffy, Asher, Nami, Cottontail, Usopp, Zoro, and Tobio all read in unison while Gonzo turned around and walked over to the remains of his best friend as he reached over to grab something that made him gasp in shock, causing the others to turn to him as Asher and the others were stunned to see Woonan's Stitched Up Pirate Map as Gonzo noticed that there seems to be a pocket stitched onto the map and reached over to grab it as he began reading it.

"Gonzo, since the day you saved my life, deep in my heart, I've always believed that you were in the same boat as I was, by my side through all these adventures. Because of this, I have no regrets about living my life this way." Gonzo says while reading from the note as he smiles warmly with tears appearing in his eyes as a grinning Usopp slaps Tobio's back.

"My goodness, your grandpa's a great man! He is the only person whom the legendary pirate trusted!"

"One is a great pirate. One sells Oden." Zoro says stoically as Asher nods with a big smirk on his face.

"But they had the same pride." Asher says with a laugh as Tobio teared up and choked back a sob as he ran over to hug Gonzo.

"Grandpa, I...I'm...sorry!"

"...Tobio...live the way you want to live, and I'll...always protect you," Gonzo says as Tobio smiles gleefully and nods with the others smiling at this cute scene as we then fast forward in time and we see everyone, sans Asher and Cottontail and Nami, standing around on the beach as they are all preparing to go their separate ways.

"Are you guys leaving already?" Tobio asked curiously as Luffy nodded before turning to Gonzo.

"So what will you guys do?"

"Well, after we build a grave for Woonan, I'll continue my oden shop." Gonzo explained as Usopp bends down to Tobio's eye level.

"So, do you still want to be a pirate?"

"Or sell Oden?" Zoro asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms as Tobio blinked but smiled widely as he shrugged.

"I'll think about it the next time I leave home. If I live my life seriously like Grandpa, I'm sure I'll find the answer one day, right?"

"Right," Luffy said with a nod just as the others appeared as the Gang was shocked to see Asher carrying around a huge bag filled with treasure as Cottontail rode on top of it, and Nami hummed cheerfully as she waved at everyone.

"Hello~,"

"Where did you guys get that?!" A shocked Usopp asked as Asher gave him a shaky grin.

"Nami had Cottontail and I helped her steal the Golden Pirates Treasure."

"Yep. Also, here you go." Nami says while holding out a few pieces of gold as she held it out to a surprised Gonzo. "Here. This is the money for what those four ate. It's also a loan, by the way. Asher and Cottontail are off the hook for helping me steal these treasures, but you two are still screwed. Of course, I expect three times the return." Nami says to Luffy and Zoro with a malicious grin on her face as they stare at her in horror and shock.

"No, I can't accept the money now," Gonzo says, surprising the others as they turn to him. "I've talked about it with Tobio, and you will owe us the money. Without interest."

"This is so that we will be able to meet again." Tobio says with a smile as Asher and the others, even Nami, can't help but smile as well at what he said.

"Now, what are you guys still doing here? Sail off while the weather is still good! You eat and run bastards!" Gonzo yelled with a glare as Asher and the others perked up and nodded before going over to the Going Merry as they were quick to set sail, and everyone began waving at each other goodbye as the Going Merry continued sailing through the ocean.

And done! I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one!

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
