Character

The Treasure Pirates are a plunder-obsessed crew from the film Heart of Gold, captained by the loot-mad Mad Treasure. Built around their leader's endless craving for valuables, they amass fortunes only to abandon them and keep raiding for the next prize.

Overview

This non-canon crew exists to feed the hunger of its captain, Mad Treasure, a man addicted to the hunt rather than the riches themselves. They have piled up staggering wealth over their voyages, yet because Treasure loses all interest in any prize the instant he claims it, the group never stops chasing the next score. Their reputation in treasure hunting circles is sizable, and their leading fighters proved strong enough to hold off a full Marine fleet while transporting Gismonda, a masked CP0 operative.

Role

The crew sails aboard the Shark Emeralda, a shark-styled vessel trimmed with gold and studded with gems. They favor surprise raids, using Psycho P's Iro Iro no Mi to blend the ship into its surroundings before striking. Captives are forced into bondage through Mad Treasure's Jara Jara no Mi, then locked below deck and worked as the ship's rowers. Slaves are even given themed uniforms split by gender. The crew's banner shows a grinning, sunglasses-wearing skull crowned with purple spiked hair echoing their captain, a jeweled chain at its throat, and a shovel and pickaxe crossed behind it.

Notable Members

Mad Treasure commands several dozen followers, but only two carry real rank: Naomi Drunk and Psycho P, both trusted to lead raiding parties on his behalf. The remainder are largely conscripted laborers rather than willing pirates. Hired by Gild Tesoro to recover the lost Pure Gold, the crew ambushed a Marine convoy guarding Myskina Olga, chased her into the belly of the giant fish Bonbori, and clashed with the Straw Hat Pirates. After Luffy bested Treasure and the Pure Gold sank into the stomach acids, the captain leapt in after it, survived, and was last seen sharing a meal with Naomi and Psycho P on the shore of Alchemi.
