Chapter 113 The Treasure of Wunan!
Chapter 113 The Treasure of Wunan!
Picking up where we left off, after Luffy and Zoro went missing, Nami also risked her life to infiltrate the ship of the suddenly appearing "Golden Dragon" in order to retrieve the treasure. Goten and Usopp were blown away along with the Going Merry by the shockwave released by the Golden Dragon...
When Goten came to his senses, the attackers were nowhere to be seen. Usopp was still unconscious from fright. Goten carefully observed the nearby sea and finally spotted an island at the 5 o'clock position. Goten immediately turned the ship around and steered the Going Merry toward the island.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Golden Dragons landed on the other side of the island after Goten arrived. They shouted, "Great! The One Piece is on this island! Go find it!" With that, they rushed straight into the island. Nami, having overheard their plan, instantly decided to intercept them...
Meanwhile, after reaching the shore, Goten immediately saw towering mountains. His intuition told him that where there's a mountain, there's treasure, and where there's water, there's a monster. So, in order to find the treasure, Goten immediately shook the unconscious Usopp awake and forcibly dragged him along towards the mountain...
Usopp, puzzled, asked, "Goten, how do you know there's treasure on the top of that mountain?"
Wu Tian calmly explained, "It was just an intuition, and I also think it's good to exercise occasionally by climbing mountains. It's been a long time since I've climbed to the top of a mountain and enjoyed the view, so I suddenly had the idea that there's treasure up there..."
Usopp immediately retorted, "Are we going to act based on such a far-fetched idea?"
Seeing this, Goten whispered in Usopp's ear, "The great warrior Usopp will not back down because of his fear of heights!"
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately replied confidently, "Of course! Leave it to the great warrior, Lord Usopp. I am a great adventurer with fifty years of experience. People call me the 'Master of Adventure'!"
So Goten and Usopp, laughing and joking, headed towards the mountain...

The scene shifts to Luffy and Zoro, who are currently bound tightly in chains and unable to move. The reason for this is that after rescuing the little boy at sea, they suddenly smelled the aroma of oden and followed the scent to an oden shop at sea...
However, after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they were forcibly bound and chained by the shop owner because they had no money. No matter how the two tried to explain, the owner, who had not received any money, kept them tied up...
Meanwhile, the little boy they had rescued was being questioned by his boss—"Just how stubborn are you going to be? I've already told you, Wu Nan will never take you on as a subordinate..."
The little boy retorted, "You're the one who shouldn't be so stubborn! I'll definitely become Wunan's underling and collect countless treasures with him at sea!"
The boss, however, poured cold water on the boy's enthusiasm: "Pshaw—daydreaming..."
-
Back with Goten, who had brought Usopp halfway up the mountain, they noticed a castle not far away. Goten said to Usopp, "After we climb to the top, let's explore that castle on our way back!"
Usopp retorted, "If I'd known there was a castle, I wouldn't have wasted time climbing the mountain with you..."
Having already climbed halfway up the mountain, the two had no choice but to continue their ascent towards the summit. After some time, they reached the top and discovered a dilapidated house. Upon entering, they found nothing but a fireplace...
Seeing this, Goten walked to the fireplace and gently pushed it open, revealing a tunnel. When Goten and Usopp followed the tunnel down and opened the door to the underground chamber, they only found a skeleton dressed as a pirate captain and some writing on the wall...
The wall reads: "You who come in pursuit of gold, my name is Unan, once known as the Great Gold Pirate, but now I am nothing but a man waiting to die. All the gold I have collected has been returned to its rightful owner..."
"I fought battles, fulfilled my childhood ambitions, and built the golden mountain that everyone dreams of. However, when I looked at the gold scattered everywhere, I remembered a man's words: 'Gold doesn't laugh; it's no different from ordinary stones.' Only then did I realize that what I risked my life for wasn't gold, but the adventure of finding it..."
"There is no gold here now, but there are treasures far more precious than gold. Perhaps they are just ordinary things to others, but to me now, they are invaluable treasures. Please do not disturb this place, the place where my greatest treasure sleeps..."
As they spoke, Goten and Usopp walked up to Usopp, picked up the item from his hand, and saw that the so-called treasure was nothing more than a tattered pirate flag...
Seeing this, Goten couldn't help but sigh, "Looks like I've made a wasted trip. Let's go check out the castle. Although there probably isn't anything there, I still want to go and see..."
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately shouted excitedly, "Then let's go, Goten! Maybe the castle will be a great adventure!"
After saying this, the two prepared to leave. Before departing, Goten said to Unan's skeleton, "Farewell, great adventurer Unan..."
The two went outside, only to be blocked by the Golden Dragon that had attacked the Going Merry. Goten looked at the Golden Dragon in its golden armor and asked seriously, "What are you doing here? Did you come here just so I could kick your butt?"
Upon hearing this, Golden Dragon immediately ordered the natives carrying large swords beside him to attack Goten and Usopp, promising them 500 gold coins as a reward if they killed them. Seeing this, the natives immediately drew their swords and slashed at Usopp.
Goten then encouraged Usopp, saying, "Usopp, that big guy is yours. I'll take care of this bastard who's showing off in his golden armor."
Seeing the burly man charging towards him, Usopp immediately took off running, leading him towards the edge of the mountain. As the man charged towards him, Usopp decisively jumped backward, landing on a protruding rock at the mountainside...
When the native lost his balance and tried to wave his arms to regain it, Usopp immediately pulled out his slingshot and shot a "pepper star" made of pepper into the native's face. When the native coughed incessantly, Usopp immediately pulled out his small hammer and smashed it into the native's shin. The native, in pain, was knocked off and fell to the bottom of the mountain...
Meanwhile, when the Golden Dragon unleashed another shockwave attack, Goten easily dispelled it with a shout, then unleashed a Kamehameha at half his normal power, instantly sending it flying and shattering its golden armor...
As for the remaining henchmen, they all scattered the moment the Golden Dragon was defeated, each fleeing for their lives...
-
Nami, who had followed the Golden Dragon, saw its minions scattering and fleeing as soon as she reached the mountaintop. She also saw Goten and Usopp, looking completely bewildered. After the two explained the situation, Nami instantly felt that she had wasted her time.
But then Goten suggested, "Now that things have come to this, why don't we try our luck at the castle? If all else fails, why not just rob that guy of his treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly understood and couldn't help but praise Goten for being so sensible. Then the three of them teamed up and went to the castle, but as expected, they found nothing. So the three of them found the Golden Dragon's ship and packed up all its food and treasure.
On their way back to the Going Merry, the three stumbled upon Luffy and Zoro, who were tied up. After learning about their ordeal, Goten decisively declared, "Since the captain has to pay off his debts, then I'll take over as the new captain. From today onwards, the Straw Hat Pirates are disbanded and renamed the Saiyan Pirates!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately shouted, "You bastard, what do you think you're doing! I'm the captain, save me, Nami! Help me!"
Nami then joked, "Speaking of which, changing the captain isn't such a bad idea. Alright then, Goten, Usopp, let's start a new adventure!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs, "Nami!!!"
