Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Belial stood up and took Nami from him. Nami had fallen unconscious, and Belial placed her on the beach and used his light power to revive her.

Belial noticed that Nami was no longer wearing the same adventure clothes as before, but a beautiful gauze dress.

"What's going on? She even changed her clothes temporarily." Belial had many questions and decided to wake Nami up.

"Nami, wake up."

Nami was awakened by a voice, and when she opened her eyes, she saw an anxious Belial.

"Belia!"

"Thank goodness, you're awake." Belial breathed a sigh of relief. Then Nami hugged Belial tightly, "I'm so glad you're alright!" Nami cried.

Feeling the two pressure points on his chest, Belial felt suffocated and quickly pushed Nami away. He wiped away her tears and asked, "What happened? Where is everyone else?"

Upon hearing this, Nami pointed in a direction and said, "They should be there."

"Okay, let's go first, we'll talk on the way."

Belial carried Nami on his back and flew in the direction Nami pointed. Along the way, through Nami, Belial learned what had just happened.

……

"Is everyone alright?" Nami asked.

Olga said, "It seems... something's happened. Straw Hat Boy is missing."

"Eh!"

"It seems to have been thrown off during its descent."

Nami's face was full of speechless disbelief, but she quickly recovered, as this was just Luffy's usual practice.

“This must be Lord Lantern’s stomach,” Usopp said, looking around through his binoculars.

"Ah."

Torregia scanned the area with his terminal and said, "Everyone be careful, this isn't seawater, it's the stomach acid of these lanternfish."

"No wonder the seawater is such a strange color."

"The good news is, I've found Luffy. He's up ahead."

"Alright, let's go then."

"Oh."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of artillery shells rang out.

Tregear immediately transformed, turned around, and swung his lightsaber, unleashing several light blades that shattered all the cannonballs.

The next moment, a long iron chain flew out from the smoke, wrapped around Toregia's neck, and dragged him away.

"Tregear!"

With a burst of strength, the treasure maniac slammed Toregia directly onto the hull, then tossed it upwards and slammed it hard onto the deck.

Torregia struggled, then collapsed to the ground, reverting to human form and losing consciousness.

The crew of the Thousand Sunny were furious at the sight, but just as they were about to retaliate, they were bound by several iron chains wielded by the treasure maniac.

The treasure-hunting maniac laughed heartily: "That's all there is to it."

……

On the beach, Luffy looked at the empty sand and said in distress, "Why is there nothing here? Not a single piece of meat. I'm so hungry."

Suddenly, Luffy sensed danger. A long iron chain flew towards him, and Luffy punched it away.

"Hahaha! Straw Hat Boy, I thought you were dead!" The Treasure Maniac laughed arrogantly.

"What are you doing here, you bastard?"

"Of course, I'm here to take your head. Your life is quite a treasure."

After saying that, the treasure maniac rushed towards Luffy.

Luffy blocked the attack and shouted, "Gum-Gum Machine Gun!" A hail of punches sent the treasure maniac staggering back a considerable distance.

Then Luffy dodged the Treasure Maniac's chains, coated his fists with Armament Haki, and the Treasure Maniac also wrapped his chains around his fists. The two fists clashed, creating a powerful shockwave that swept across the beach.

Luffy dodged the punch by leaning back and immediately launched Gear Second with a leap.

"Rubber, jet, stamp!"

Luffy stretched out his leg and kicked the treasure maniac.

Seeing this, the treasure hunter tried to protect himself with iron chains, but was instantly defeated by Luffy's attack.

The treasure hunter slid for several meters before stopping.

"You're a worthy opponent, Straw Hat Boy," said the Treasure Maniac, then added with a sinister smile, "However, this ends here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the treasure maniac's henchmen suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him.

What enraged Luffy the most was that the rest of the Straw Hat crew were also bound by chains, each with a pained expression, struggling to breathe as they were bound by the chains.

"buddies!"

"Don't move, Straw Hat Boy," the Treasure Maniac laughed. "If you move again, what do you think they'll do?"

"asshole."

"What a pity, the Straw Hat crew is about to be eaten by fish!"

Just as the treasure hunter was about to act, Tregear behind him suddenly opened his eyes wide, immediately transformed, and released the Torreira lightsaber to cut the chains, then unleashed several light blades to slash at the treasure hunter.

Upon hearing the noise, the treasure hunter turned around and immediately retreated to the side.

Torregia performed a backflip and flew away; the color timer started flashing as soon as he landed. Torregia staggered a few steps, bracing himself with one hand and panting heavily.

“I didn’t expect you to still have the strength to resist,” the Treasure Maniac said.

Torregia struggled to his feet and said, "Don't underestimate me. I'm more troublesome than you think."

"Is that so? But your partner is not like that."

Seeing Nami and the others in pain, Tregear flicked his wrist and unleashed a cutting beam, which was deflected by the treasure maniac.

Tregear immediately used the Torreishum Beam, which the Treasure Maniac dodged, but the beam was reflected back when it hit the Cutting Light Wheel after passing by him.

The beam of light struck the crowd, triggering an explosion and smoke. Tregear shouted, "Luffy, go!"

"Understood! Rubber, rocket launcher!"

The treasure maniac charged at Luffy, his hands wrapped in chains, clashing with Luffy's. Then he extended a chain and lashed out at Tregear behind him.

Tregear dodged backward and threw a light blade that looked like Ultraman Max's head-mounted shuriken. The shuriken split apart just before hitting the enemy, cutting the chains on Nami and Robin.

Then Tregear gathered light energy, rushed to Nami and Robin, and, enduring the pain, took them away.

Just as he was about to leave, a chain suddenly appeared on the ground and struck Torregia in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

Nami and Robin also fell to the ground. They tried to get up, but their weakness prevented them from doing so.

"Nami! Robin! Tregear!" Luffy shouted as he saw the three of them fall to the ground.

The treasure hunter seized the opportunity, swung out two chains to bind Luffy, and threw him to the ground.

"Hehehe, it's over."

"Wait!" Olga shouted, "If you want pure gold, don't touch them!"

"Huh? Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

"I'm just asking you, do you want pure gold?"

After a moment of silence, the treasure hunter said, "Take those three guys away, and leave Straw Hat Boy here!"

"you!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Just as his men approached the three, Tregear stood up and threw Nami, who was closest to him, into the air. He then knelt on the ground and fell into a deep coma.

Upon seeing this, the treasure-hunting maniac said, "Tch, one's missing? Oh well, it's alright."

After saying that, he left with his subordinates and a few members of the Straw Hat crew, leaving Luffy on the beach.

……

“Is that so?” Belial said.

"I wonder how they are?" Nami asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine."

After speaking, Belial pondered deeply. He felt it wasn't that simple; Tregear's strength shouldn't be that...

"I see Luffy!" Nami shouted.

Belial looked over and saw Luffy struggling on the beach, and the "sea" was about to rise and hit Luffy.

"Oh no, the tide is coming in!" Nami exclaimed in panic. "That's not seawater, it's fish stomach acid!"

Upon hearing this, Belial said, "That would be terrible! Nami, hold on tight, I'm going to accelerate!" With that, Belial swooped down and flew towards Luffy.

Luffy, who was struggling, heard a loud rumbling sound. He looked up and saw Belial and Nami. "Belial, Nami, I'm so glad you two are alright."

Belial and Nami landed next to Luffy, and Belial swung his hands, cutting the chains binding Luffy.

Luffy stood up, and the three of them moved away from the "seawater." Belial asked, "How are you?"

"It's alright, but Torregia and the others have been captured."

Belial said, "Not only that, Zoro and Sanji are also missing."

"What should I do now?"

Beria said, "My communicator is broken. What about yours?"

"Fortunately."

"Let me borrow it." Belial took Nami's communicator, activated the detection mode, and suddenly detected someone nearby.

"Who is this person? Could there be other people here?"

"Then let's..."

"Let's go take a look; it might be helpful to us." After saying that, Belial led Luffy and Nami closer to the person.

The three arrived at a nest containing a large red dragon and several smaller red dragons.

Several dragons drooled as they looked at the three of them, and Nami hid behind Belial in fright.

Seeing this, Luffy stepped forward and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, intimidating the dragons so much that they dared not move.

“It seems like there are only dragons here, nothing else,” Nami said.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Belial said, pointing to a dragon in the corner.

Luffy and Nami also noticed that the dragon seemed a little different, like a toy.

Beria walked over and tore open the skin. The three of them were stunned. Inside was a yellow-haired, extremely obese man.

Upon seeing the three, the man burst into tears, saying, "After all these years, I've finally seen humans again."

Beria asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied, "My name is Mischina Asie."

"Mischina!"

The three were taken aback. Nami asked, "Are you... Olga's relative?"

How do you know my daughter?

"Olga is your daughter, isn't she?"

"You've met Olga before, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"Can you take me to find my daughter?" Asie asked.

“Of course,” Luffy said.

Beria said, "After all, our comrade is with her."

"Then leave quickly."

The four rested for a while before leaving the nest.

On the way, they learned about Asie's past with Olga from him.

It turns out that Olga had been suffering from an illness, and in order to save her daughter Asie, she began to research pure gold.

Finally, pure gold was successfully developed. Asie used pure gold to make a ring, which healed Olga, but Olga was unaware of this.

However, the appearance of pure gold attracted a large number of unscrupulous individuals, including pirates, who harbored malicious intentions.

During an attack, Asie's wife was tragically killed by pirates. Olga harbored resentment towards Asie because of this, and during their argument, the pure gold light attracted Lord Lantern.

Lord Lantern swallowed the island, and Asie and Olga were separated. In order to survive, Asie had to disguise himself as a dragon and survive by being fed by the dragon. Two hundred years passed in this way.

Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly realized, "Two hundred years! No wonder Olga knows nothing about what's happening now."

"Ah."
