Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

At this moment, everyone was in disbelief. Usopp cried out, "Why? Why did this happen!"

Just then, Zoro and Sanji flew out of a cave and looked at the grieving crowd with great confusion.

Sanji asked, "What happened? What's wrong with you guys?"

Robin knelt on the ground, her face calm, "Tregear..."

"How could this be... Are you kidding me..."

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a figure flew out from the top of the ruins. Landing on the ground, he laughed heartily, "Hehehe, how despicable! I almost got killed by that bastard scientist!"

“It’s that guy!” Usopp shouted.

"How is this possible? He's still alive after that explosion," Nami said in disbelief.

The treasure-hunting maniac tore off the burnt chains from his body and looked at the crowd, saying, "If I hadn't used the chains to protect my body in time, I might be finished."

"That's alright. You weren't finished playing before, but now you're about to be finished." After saying that, Belial charged forward like a dazzling cannonball.

Luffy activated Gear Second at the same time and charged forward.

The treasure-hunting maniac laughed, wrapped the iron chain around his arm, and was about to exchange punches with the two men.

At that moment, Robin stood up, crossed her arms, and coldly said, "Six-Flower Flower!"

Six hands appeared on the treasure maniac, locking him tightly.

The treasure hunter was unable to move, and Luffy had already arrived in front of him. "Gum-Gum, Jet, Pistol!" A heavy punch slammed into the treasure hunter's body.

"Pfft!"

The treasure maniac let out a scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn't over yet. Belial followed closely behind, shouting, "Break the Void!" Belial's right hand flashed, and he punched the Treasure Maniac in the chest.

The force was so great that Robin couldn't hold on, and the treasure maniac was sent flying.

The treasure hunter's other subordinates were thoroughly dealt with by Zoro, Sanji, and the others.

Driven by rage, even Usopp abandoned his usual timidity and joined in the powerful attacks against the enemy. The others then gradually moved towards the battle area.

Belial and Luffy looked ahead, from which came intermittent laughter: "Hehehe, you guys are really despicable." The treasure maniac stood up, "You would probably take my life without hesitation, wouldn't you?"

"So you don't want to deal with this guy anymore?"

The treasure hunter pulled out an iron chain, and a fat man was pulled out.

Upon seeing the man, Olga cried out in terror, "Dad!"

That person was none other than Asie.

"You, you bastard!" Luffy shouted angrily.

"Hehehehehehe." The treasure maniac laughed as he stood up, lifting Asie up. "You want his life? Then give me the pure gold and let me go."

"you……"

“I agree,” Luffy said calmly.

“Luffy, you…” Belial was somewhat surprised. It wasn’t that he cared about the pure gold, but rather that he didn’t intend to let such a bastard go.

"Put him down, and I'll let you go." Luffy took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said with a serious expression, "Nami, give him the pure gold."

Nami hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then threw the pure gold over.

The treasure-hunting maniac took the pure gold and slowly backed away.

Luffy said, "I've given you the pure gold, now release the person."

"This? Dream on!" the treasure maniac shouted, and while everyone was still confused, he lashed the chain at Luffy.

"Luffy, be careful!"

However, Luffy reached out and grabbed the chain, his face dark and angry as he glared at the treasure maniac.

The treasure-hunting maniac's expression changed drastically, "You, you..."

Luffy calmly said, "I have never believed you!"

Seeing this, the treasure maniac threw Asie over, and while everyone's attention was on Asie, he used his chain to smash the surrounding rocks, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, an iron chain wrapped around Robin and they escaped with her.

"Robin...cough cough, Robin..."

The treasure hunter escaped with Robin down the ladder, laughing as he said, "I got the treasure to buy the world! I didn't lose this time!"

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced the treasure maniac's leg. The intense pain caused him to lose feeling in his leg and fall to the ground.

"What? What just happened?" Usopp asked in surprise.

Franky said, "It looks like he was injured by someone."

Just as everyone was wondering, a man in a suit walked past Robin, broke the chains on Robin's body, and came to the treasure maniac.

The treasure hunter looked up and saw a man holding a gun who said, "I am Bond, James Bond."

"what?"

Seeing everyone staring at each other in bewilderment at the scene before them, Belial shouted, "What are you doing, kid? Role-playing?"

Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses smiled and said, "I saw this movie in the original world before, and I thought the scene was really cool, so I just played around with it."

After speaking, the man took off his glasses.

Upon seeing this man, everyone except Belial froze in place, speechless.

With tears in her eyes, Robin said, "You... you're alright, Tregear."

Tregear put his glasses in his pocket and said to Robin, "I'm sorry for making you worry, and for everyone else too."

"That's great! I knew you were alright!" Usopp said, crying as he spoke.

Brooke shouted, "Torekiasan is alright, that's great! My heart was pounding, even though I don't have a heart."

The treasure-hunting maniac stared at Toregia in disbelief and asked, "You, why? Aren't you already dead?"

“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Tregear said. “That was just a clone of mine.” As he spoke, Tregear helped Robin up. Robin clung tightly to Tregear, trembling all over.

"Impossible! You've been under my surveillance the whole time. When did you create a clone?"

While comforting Robin, Torregia said, "Didn't your men tell you that your food and other things have been going missing?"

"Could it be that?"

“From the moment you arrived on the Thousand Sunny, the one you thought had been captured was actually a clone,” Torregia said.

"However, it can't really be called a clone. In order to make it more realistic, that one is actually a manifestation of my energy."

"Speaking of which, the food on your ship isn't very good. Remember to have your chef practice more."

"Damn it!" Seeing Toregia's grinning face and mocking tone, the treasure maniac was enraged and, ignoring his injuries, got up and swung his chains.

Tregear wrapped Robin in a protective shield and delivered her to the Straw Hat crew's location.

Then, Tregear activated his Torreira Aura and transformed. He tilted his head to dodge the attack and grabbed the chain, laughing, "Not so great, you legendary treasure hunter."

After the treasure-hunting maniac charged towards Tregear, Luffy wanted to help but was stopped by Belial, who said, "It's not our turn to help yet. Let him stretch his legs."

The treasure maniac unleashed a series of punches at Toregia, who dodged the attacks by swaying his body like a dancer, then pushed away the arm and landed an uppercut that knocked him unconscious.

Then, with a light punch, he landed on the treasure maniac's chest. As the treasure maniac looked on in surprise, a burst of light erupted from his hand, and the treasure maniac was blasted away by the blue light.

The treasure hunter, who had fallen to the ground, got up, wrapped chains around his entire body, and shouted, "I'm going to kill you right here, for the sake of my title as a treasure hunter..."

Before he could finish speaking, a golden-blue light flashed, shattering all the chains binding the treasure maniac, leaving him covered in blood, which splattered everywhere.

The treasure-hunting maniac coughed up blood as he watched the Tregear in front of him disappear. Then, another Tregear appeared beside him.

Torregia sheathed his Torreira lightsaber and sent him flying with a spinning kick, saying calmly, "You talk too much nonsense, I'm getting a little annoyed."

"I will not use clones when facing a truly powerful opponent, because using clones would be disrespectful to them."

"The reason I used my clone on you is to crush your arrogant self-righteousness and make you see your true self."

Then Tregear called out to Zoro, "Zoro, I've secretly learned a bit of your swordsmanship. I'll make you something nice as tuition later."

Zoro chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Alright, but don't go back on your word."

Beria said, "Alright, the man has been saved. All that's missing is the pure gold. Take that thing and send that guy to his death."

"okay."

Just then, the dying treasure maniac struggled to his feet, took out the pure gold, and stared at it resentfully. Then, looking at the ocean of stomach acid in front of him, a crazed smile crept across his face.

The treasure maniac immediately got up and charged at Toregia once again.

Seeing this, Torregia became somewhat irritated. "Are you still not done?"

Just as Tregear was about to make a move, Luffy charged in. He activated Gear Second and Gear Third, shouting "Gum-Gum Jet!" and punched the treasure maniac away.

"Don't even think about hurting my crewmates," Luffy said, putting on his straw hat.

"Thanks, Luffy," Tregear said, "but I can handle him myself, I don't need your help."

"I was just so angry that I wanted to punch him."

"Ok."

The treasure maniac, who had been knocked away, landed on a rock on the water's surface and burst into laughter as he looked at the pure gold in his hand.

"What's that guy laughing about?" As everyone wondered, the treasure maniac took the pure gold and walked into the water.

"That guy, could it be that he's planning to..." Seeing the Treasure Maniac's actions, they realized his purpose.

The treasure maniac laughed loudly, "All the treasures and riches belong to me!" After saying that, he walked into the depths of the water and sank into the acidic sea along with the dazzling pure gold.

"Ah! Pure gold!" Nami cried out in anguish, "The treasure is gone, boohoo..."

"Don't be sad, Nami," Tregear said, then took out a bracelet. "This is a storage bracelet I made. It has a huge amount of space inside for storing things."

"While you were fighting and exploring inside the cave, I took all the gems and gold and silver treasures from the Treasure Maniac's ship and put them inside."

“Then, that means…” Nami looked at Tregear in surprise as she held the bracelet.

"Although it can't buy the whole world, it's still very valuable."

"That's amazing! Tregear, you're amazing!" Nami exclaimed, even trying to give Tregear a big hug. However, Tregear quickly dodged away to avoid suffocating or losing too much blood.

Beria said, "Now that it's all over, let's go."

"it is good."

Franky quickly repaired the Thousand Sunny, and the group, along with Asie Olga and her father, followed Torregia's navigation and left the Lantern Lord's mouth through the esophagus.

The next day, the group said goodbye to Asie and Olga at a port. Belial wanted to go find the pure gold ring, but Asie and Olga refused.

After some questioning, Chopper learned that Olga's incurable disease had been cured two hundred years ago, and a cure was now available. Under Chopper's treatment, Olga recovered and bid farewell to the Straw Hat crew with Asie.

Olga looked at the Thousand Sunny under the distant sun and smiled. Then, she, Asie, and their pet Elizabeth arrived in a new town to start a new life.

……

On the Thousand Sunny, everyone was doing their own thing.

Belial found Tregear, who was keeping watch at the stern of the ship, and said, "Although those treasures are very valuable, Nami is still very interested in pure gold."

"Speaking of which, that pure gold was quite novel; it's a real shame it's gone..."

Before Belial could finish speaking, Tregear produced an oval-shaped golden sphere that shimmered with golden light; it was indeed pure gold.

"Pure, pure gold? It's not..."

Torregia said, "While they captured my clone and the others, I had already found the laboratory and taken the pure gold. The pure gold you saw back then was indeed a fake."

"So, that means that treasure maniac guy took that one..."

"It's fake."

"Hahahaha!" Belial couldn't help but laugh. "That kid's probably so angry he'll come back to life. So, what are you planning to do with this thing?"

"I intend to make it something that benefits everyone," Torregia said.

At this moment, Chopper called the two of them over to participate in a volleyball match.

Grouping into three teams of three: Tregear, Robin, and Franky in one group; Belial, Nami, and Chopper in the other.

Belial began to overwhelm his opponent with his immense strength and fighting skills, but Tregear excelled at psychological warfare, using the scantily clad Nami and Robin to influence Belial, and the score gradually became even.

However, while Franky was playing, Robin used her ability to score a goal illegally, allowing Belial and his two teammates to win. Robin also gave Nami a coin.

At this time, the Straw Hat crew received an invitation to Gran Tesoro.

According to Nami, Gran Tesoro is the world's largest entertainment city, a dream city for the wealthy that integrates finance, gambling, and leisure.

Everyone was very curious about the city, and after discussing it, they decided to go and see Gran Tezoro.

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, shouting into the wind, "Onward to Gran Tesoro!"

Guided by the life paper attached to the invitation, the group boarded the Thousand Sunny and headed towards the Golden City of Gran Tesoro.

Even more exciting adventures await them ahead.
