They disable it, but are caught by security. Team A, Luffy and Franky, scale it from the outside in order to disable its surveillance network. The next day, the Straw Hats split up into two teams and infiltrate the hotel. Tesoro pays CP-0 agent Spandam to send World Government forces after the Straw Hats. They hatch a plan with Carina to steal money kept in the main hotel, and find out that most people in the city are enslaved to Tesoro. Outside, the Straw Hats run into Carina, a former acquaintance of Nami's who is now working for Tesoro. Tesoro gives the Straw Hats until midnight the next day to repay their debt, or he will execute Zoro. They are overwhelmed, and Tesoro, who can manipulate gold, captures Zoro by manipulating the gold dust sprayed on him when he entered Gran Tesoro. She reveals her foul play and the Straw Hats refuse to give up their money, causing them to fight Baccarat, Tesoro, and his subordinates Mr. However, Baccarat uses her Devil Fruit abilities to strip Luffy of his luck, causing him to lose. Baccarat then takes them to the VIP lounge to meet Tesoro, who challenges them to a dice game. The concierge Baccarat gives the Straw Hats a VIP stay due to their fame, and they go to a casino, where they win a lot of money.
The Straw Hat Pirates arrive at Gran Tesoro, a ship and entertainment city ruled by Gild Tesoro.
