WE GO!

Betty saw the sparkling ship at the distance and frowned.

"Gran Tesoro. That should be Gild Tesoro's ship. It is said that his wealth accounted for around 20% of all the money circulated in the world. I hear he also has dealings with Doflamingo as well."

Beside her, Hina snorted and puffed out a mouthful of smoke from her cigarette.

"Since Luna likes the ship, Hina thinks we can just kill him and take the ship."

"...Hina, you're really starting to act more and more like a pirate now…"

Lucas showed a wry smile at Hina's behavior.

This straight-laced marine to actually become a pirate...is this his fault?

Lucas didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, her words hold some truth in it.

Since Luna likes it, Imma take it!

Plus, he can make use of the money as well to fund his and Kohza's operations. That entertainment ship is also good for getting various information.

Kinnemon and Momonosuke saw the dirty looks Lucas was giving on the ship and shivered.

They don't know much about this Tesoro guy...but it really is unlucky for them to have crossed their path!

"Let's go then!"

"Gooo!"

Luna copied her father's pose as they pointed at the ship with greed in their eyes.

Law was dumbfounded at their actions.

What the hell are these guys doing!? Don't they know we still have Caesar on board!? Not to mention, there's also a Revolutionary woman and Doflamingo's little bird here as well!

"Oi, stop fooling around. We still need to deal with Doflamingo!"

"Relax Law. We'll deal with him after dealing with his cash cow."

"Then what about this Caesar? Are we just going to bring him along?"

Lucas just gave him a side-eye and didn't bother much.

"You chain him up and keep watch on him on Igneel. Just fly around the area and wait for us to call you back."

Law was taken aback and said unwillingly.

"...You want me to stay?"

"Why? I thought you didn't want to come and waste time here?"

"...I'm just going to chain him up and come with you guys."

"N-no fair! I want to come as well! I've been wanting to visit this place but Doflamingo won't let me!"

Caesar protested but no one cared about him.

Law then pointed at Monet and asked.

"How about her? You may have her heart but that won't limit her if you can't see her."

"She's coming along. Anyway, Doflamingo already came here earlier and saw her here. He'll just treat her as a traitor."

Monet asked.

"The young master came?"

"Yeah. Well, just a clone of his anyway. I burned him into ashes already."

"..."

Monet seemed like she was about to say something but sighed and didn't speak anymore.

Lucas just shrugged and waited for the ship to reach Gran Tesoro.

"Oh, since we're boarding a fancy ship, it's best we dress for the occasion."

Lucas remembered that Kinnemon had the ability to change clothes or something. He decided to copy the idea and snapped his fingers to dress everyone properly.

Lucas wore a white suit with a black shirt and a red tie. Apart from wearing red sunglasses, he no longer bothered to hide his face.

Since he already showed Doflamingo who he was, there was no use to hide anymore.

Previously, he was still hesitant in hiding his identity but after learning his new abilities, he figured he should have enough strength now to go against anyone who'll try to do something against him.

It was time the world remembered his name once again.

Beside him, he dressed Luna in a cute white one-piece dress and a red rose clip on her hair.

Hina wore a shoulderless golden evening dress that glittered under the moonlight and highlighted her flawless white neck and shoulders.

Betty wore a somewhat loose golden dress which highlighted her chest very much. That type which drapes over her shoulders and only covers the important parts of her chest and freely exposes her cleavage and sides.

Monet wore a jade backless dress which suited her current physique of a harpy. She also had a long white feather boa wrapped around her.

Law wore a black suit and white shirt that wasn't buttoned to the top and folded out of his suit.

Kinnemon wore a black floral shirt and a red scarf around his neck.

Momonosuke wore a blue suit and a red bowtie. Kinda looks like a certain child detective.

Everyone looked surprised at the sudden change.

With another wave of his hand, Lucas controlled the water to flow in front of them to create a mirror for them to look at.

Lucas grinned at them and asked.

"How is it? I can still make some changes if you want."

Hina looked at herself and then to Lucas.

"Can you cut this part here? Hina wants to be able to move her legs freely."

Lucas snapped his fingers again and a cut was made on her shirt which showed her long and beautiful legs.

Hina nodded in satisfaction then whispered to Lucas.

"Later, I want to take a picture with your phone with you."

"A-alright."

While they were on their way to Punk Hazard before, Lucas had shown her his smartphone and they took a bunch of pictures already.

Betty then approached him with a teasing smile.

"The dress you gave me is beautiful. Did you want to look at my chest that much?"

"A-ahem. I just wanted what you would be comfortable in."

Lucas thought that since Betty seemed to like to expose her chest so much, this shouldn't be a problem for her.

As expected, she liked it very much.

Betty grabbed onto his arm and whispered on his other ear without caring for Hina who was close by as well.

"Later, I can show you much more if you want~"

"..."

To be honest, Lucas was tempted.

But he has a daughter now so he can't be so irresponsible!

Thankfully, Hina was there to 'save' him.

Hina started to pinch his ear and dragged him away from Betty who just laughed at her antics like an older sister looking at her little sister playfully.

Ignoring them, Luna was the happiest with her new clothes and started to hug her father lovingly.

At this time, Going Merry finally reached Gran Tesoro and is about to enter inside.

Lucas saw the falling flakes of gold inside and frowned.

Remembering the movie, Gild Tesoro had used these golden flakes to control the people inside. Using his Gold Devil Fruit's ability to control gold, it would be easy to deal with anyone who lets themselves be attacked by the golden flakes.

Lucas waved his hand and a thin layer of water covered everyone.

The water was so thin that you wouldn't notice it with the naked eye. But it is enough to prevent the golden flakes from attaching to them.

When they entered the long tunnel at the entrance, as expected, golden flakes started to pour down.

"Waa! So pretty!"

Luna stretched her litter arms upwards and played around as if the golden flakes were snow.

Betty frowned and warned everyone.

"Be careful. I heard Gild Tesoro has the ability to control gold at will. These are probably…"

"It's fine. I already placed a thin barrier around you all. Nothing will happen to you. Just go and enjoy."

Lucas calmed her down so she wouldn't be too high strung and nervous later.

Betty smiled and nodded.

"Alright dear~"

"..."

The tunnel at the entrance is quite long so while they waited to enter, Luna and Momonosuke were playing around.

Kinnemon was still in awe with how much gold there is while Law just sighed and shook his head.

By the time they reached the end of the tunnel, they could hear some cheering and music.

It seems Gild Tesoro is performing a concert at the moment.

Seeing Gild Tesoro dance on the stage while singing, Lucas clicked his tongue.

"This guy sure can move."

Luna seemed excited hearing the song and seeing the fanfare as she was jumping and dancing around as well.

A bit irritated that Luna was paying attention to another man, Lucas muttered to console himself.

"Hmph, I can do better than him."

"Eh? Really daddy!?"

"Geh-"

Lucas sweated.

How come this little kid actually heard him!? It was just a joke!

But now that she asked and looking at her sparkling eyes full of expectation for her dear father, Lucas could only follow up on his lie.

"O-of course!"

On the stage, Gild Tesoro also noticed the new arrivals and saw the mark of Strawhat on the ship.

He paused for half a second before continuing his song. He didn't actually hear what he said or see so far away but since they had the mark of the Strawhat Pirates, they are worth checking out later.

Lucas knew he was noticed but didn't mind. They waited until the song was over before parking and having a look around.

However, after Gild Tesoro was done, instead of going backstage, he held his golden microphone and created a platform of gold from the stage towards their ship.

As he neared them, Gild Tesoro frowned seeing that Strawhat Luffy doesn't seem to be here.

"Hm? Are you not the Strawhat Pirates? Where is Strawhat Luffy?"

"You can just consider us as a part of his fleet. What do you want?"

Lucas raised a brow at Gild Tesoro who suddenly came to their ship.

"Hehe, I just wanted to welcome the famous rookie. Since you are part of his fleet, then I shall welcome you to my Gran Tesoro with open arms!"

Gild Tesoro spread his arms wide arrogantly.

"Did you enjoy the show?"

Lucas couldn't be bothered with him. In his mind, he was deliberating if he should just beat the guy and be done with it.

However, his little daughter seems to have other plans.

"Daddy said he can do better!"

"Gah-!?"

Lucas nearly choked when he heard that.

Dammit! This is really what they call digging one's own grave!

At that moment, Lucas regretted lying to his daughter earlier…

Gild Tesoro raised a brow and looked at Lucas.

"Ohhh? Is that so? Actually, your face does look familiar. Have we met before?"

"..."

"No matter. Since this cute little girl says you can do better. I wonder if we can have the honor of listening to your performance?"

Gild Tesoro raised his golden mike and said this as if he wanted everyone to hear.

Sure enough, the audience grew curious.

Lucas didn't care about them but seeing his daughter look so excited at him, he knew he can't turn him down.

In his mind, he was already swearing at Gild Tesoro.

You bastard, just wait and see what happens later! I will melt you down, turn you into a golden toilet, then ship you off to Kamabakka Kingdom!!!

After some deliberation, Lucas grabbed his golden mike and showed a fearless grin.

"Fine."

Behind him, Hina and Betty shared a look of concern.

Is Lucas really so great at singing?

Wouldn't he embarrass himself?

Lucas took the mike and walked on the golden platform onto the stage quietly.

Since he's doing this, might as well do it big!

As he walked, all of a sudden, music filled the entire area.

The musicians at the side looked at each other and saw that none of them were playing any instruments. Then what is causing this music?

Lucas heard the music and sighed in relief.

At least his ability worked for this. It was just his imagination and he didn't actually know if it will work. Thankfully it did.

Although it's pretty useless but at least he can show off!

As the music played, he walked leisurely to the stage and stabbed the mike on the hole on the stage.

He started to sing.

"Ji~tto dekinai tomarenai~" (We can't just stay still! We can't let ourselves stop!)

"Yoake ga osokute, jirettai~" (We're growing impatient at the late arrival of dawn.)

"Ichi, ni, Sunshine, yon...WE GOO~!" (One, two, three (san -> sunshine), four... We go!)

Right, our shameless main character is simply singing the 15th opening song of One Piece, We Go!

As he continued to sing, he controlled the golden water as visual effects. Even turning them into golden beauties and had them dance all around the stage.

Luna was jumping up and down on the ship excitedly while the rest had their jaws to the ground.

Lucas...can sing? And so good?

Actually, Lucas' voice isn't so good but he's using his cheaty ability to make it sound good!

That's right, our main character is simply just that shameless!

Lucas smiled when he saw Luna was happy.

He stretched his arm and controlled Luna to have her fly to him.

As he held her tiny hand, she danced around the stage with him as he sang.

"Oretachi wa...koko made kita ze~" (We...have come this far.)

"Oretachi wa yuku, yume no arika e" (We are heading...for where our dream is.)

"Dare mo oite'kanai ze~~" (We are heading...for where our dream is.)

"~ttai One Piece. Ichiban-nori" (No doubt, One Piece will lead the assault!)

"yumemiru kokoro wa, chou dekai~" (Our dreaming hearts are ridiculously vast,)

"samenai koto ga~ daiji~~" (but what's important is to make sure that they don't wake up.)

"-tto dekinai, tomarenai~" (We can't just stay still! We can't let ourselves stop!)

"yoake ga osokute, jirettai~" (We're growing impatient at the late arrival of dawn.)

"Ichi, ni, Sunshine…"

Lucas smiled then passed the mike to Luna.

"Ichi, ni, Sunshine…"

Then he carried her and they sang together on the mike

"Ichi, ni, Sunshine, yon...WE GOO~!"

Lucas raised the mike and the crowd understood his intentions.

""WE GOO~!!""

And the crowd goes wild!

Ahhhh!!!

--------------------------------------------------

AN: Added the youtube link for the song if anyone is interested in listening to it as well. XD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5NsW7aazWg (Or just search One Piece We Go Opening)

I was skimming through the opening songs to see which ones are acceptable to be used but ultimately used We Go. Actually, I was going to use The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman but after listening to it a bit, I feel it isn't appropriate. Besides, the language in the One Piece world is Japanese so it would be weird if I suddenly introduced an English song.

It felt weird that I suddenly used many Romaji words in the chapter but it didn't feel right when I just used the English meaning. In the end, I just used both :P

Anyway, worked out well in the end.

Oh yes. I forgot, did I say before that Lucas managed to read the Reverie arc or not yet?...I might have to reread my own novel XD

See ya next chap!
