"Ah man! I'm tired!" Rei exclaimed, fanning herself. "Do we have to train so hard? There aren't any enemies and we've been sailing for a week already."

"Don't complain, Rei. We have to be ready at all times, you don't know when an enemy could show up out of nowhere." Uta said.

After their battle together and being nicknamed an iconic duo, the two had become closer than before. They were like sisters who had different personalities yet they got along with each other very well.

The three were resting and enjoying the cool breeze on the ocean when a newspaper had suddenly dropped in front of them.

"Ooo, I wonder what's this." Rei said before explaining the contents of the newspaper. " Gran Tesoro, a ship carrying the largest entertainment city in the world. They're inviting people to relax and have fun."

"Rei…you're not thinking what I'm thinking right?" Uta questioned.

"She definitely is thinking what you're thinking of Uta." Imai said as she got up from her seat. "I don't see why not, we've been fighting too much. How long will it take for us to get there?"

"HAHA! THANK YOU!" Rei excitedly pounced on Imai and gave her a tight hug before finally letting go. "It'll take about three days before we get there so it'll be quick."

"I can't believe you actually agreed with her idea, Imai." Uta said in disbelief.

"Come on, I know you want to go there too. It's time to relax and have fun once in a while. There's also a hot spring there." Imai said.

Uta seemed to think about it for a while and looked at Imai's figure up and down. This action left Imai slightly flustered. She didn't know if it was because of the feelings she harbored for Uta or the fact that there was a tint of lust in Uta's eyes.

Uta smiled, "Alright, let's go."

Their route was set and were now heading towards a ship that carried the biggest entertainment city in the world. In a span of a week, the World Government had acknowledged Gran Tesoro as an independent state due to its wealth.

It was also labeled as a demilitarized zone meaning nobody was allowed to fight even if they had bad blood between each other. This was good for the Apostles since they had a big bounty on their heads.

Imai knew it was going to be fun, but the problem was if the people in charge of Gran Tesoro were going to keep their word about no fighting at all. There had to have been some sort of work in the background since there was no way they were able to achieve that much wealth and the government's acknowledgement in such a short span of time.

The three days flew by quickly and the excitement of the trio could be seen on their faces. Imai was surprised, the ship had exceeded their expectations. They were led on board by one of the managers there and were given VIP passes.

"They know who we are." Uta said.

"That's to be expected, for now, let's just make sure Rei doesn't run off somewhere." Imai said.

"Hey, I'm right next to you, you know?" Rei said in a hurt tone.

Most of the ship was made of gold showing just how wealthy they were. There was a golden tower at the center that was designed to look like a roulette wheel. It was hard to believe such a place existed.

After they were led in, they were greeted by a tall and slim woman with light brown skin, and long red hair.

She wore a black backless dress with a white stripe on the left, black gloves, large crescent-shaped earrings, purple-tinted sunglasses, black stiletto heels, and a belt with a star-shaped buckle. Her cleavage was showing too which definitely gave attention to the melons on her chest.

"My, my, if it isn't the three Apostles that I've been hearing a lot about lately." she said, taking off her sunglasses revealing her emerald eyes. "I am the VIP room concierge, Baccarat."

Imai couldn't help but think that the woman in front of her was beautiful. She had an attractive appearance and could make men turn heads just by walking. But Imai felt like there was something weird about her.

"So you do know us, you didn't seem surprised at all." Imai said.

"Of course, the World Government's Navy Headquarters has famous pirates like you on the VIP list." Baccarat said, revealing a huge book.

"Oh, look, that is me!" Rei said.

"Haha, I look much better than you do on the bounty poster." Uta said.

As for Imai's mugshot on the poster, nothing has changed.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine was coming their way. There was a car covered with white paint and gold along the sides of it. It screamed luxurious.

"Right this way, important guests." Baccarat said as she led them to the car. "This is the Turtle Shuttle which is fueled by turtle power and is operated by the Lucky Turtle Squad. It can also carry the three of you all at once."

"I see, that is quite convenient." Imai said as she watched the small turtles salute at them.

"Now then, let's go." Baccarat said.

Baccarat drove them through the roads of the Gran Tesoro. It was just that big that they needed a car to get to the other side which was where the main event was. A ship that was ten kilometers long, it was absurd.

She then explained the different parts of the ship. From the casinos to the hotels to the shopping malls and of course, the hot springs as well as entertainment places. The ship had everything, it was like they were inside a dream.

Imai glanced around and noticed the video transporter snails spread across every street of the city. That meant that security was watching every second and there were little to no crimes.

But Imai needed to experience that herself to believe it.

"Are we heading to the casino first?" Imai asked, noticing the duo's excitement when they heard they could earn money.

"Of course, but first things first. Let's get the three of you changed." Baccarat said.

The three came out of the shopping mall with matching white dresses that complimented their appearances. Imai was given an umbrella to make her look more eye-catching due to her hair color. She was also given a suitcase to hold her blades.

In many people's eyes, she looked like a business woman, and royalty at the same time. Cute on the outside, but deadly on the inside.

The two were also in dresses, but they weren't given umbrellas or anything like that since their beauty was outstanding. But Uta had this girl-crush sort of look to her.

Rei was the cheerful and charming woman that most people desired. She was beautiful, charming, and seemed like she was hardworking. She also had this naive vibe to her so what more could they ask for.

With these outfits, they were definitely going to turn heads effortlessly.
