This island is said to be a secret place that's never supposed to be discovered. It's a nation that's not influenced by the outside world so their way of living is so much different to what's considered normal. And in the island, its leader Gild Tesero is swimming with gold and he uses this to bribe pirates and government as he plans to overthrow the world's power structure. Fortunately, Luffy and his gang are there to put an end on his evil deeds.
