Long Summary
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hat Pirates are having a barbecue and the one who is enjoying it the most is Luffy. As Luffy is attempting to get more meat before it's ready, a volleyball game between Nami and Chopper versus Robin and Franky is occurring. In the conclusion of the game, the result is Nami and Chopper winning because Robin went against the rules and used her abilities. After the game, Robin gives Nami a golden coin.

The Straw Hats then fantasize on what they'll do once they arrive on Gran Tesoro: Nami will go to the casino and use the golden coin, which equates to 100, she received from Robin, Chopper will go to the amusement park, Luffy will go to the buffet in the grand hotel, Brook will go to a dance show with young women, Zoro will drink the "world's best sake", Franky will drink cola, Sanji will spend time with women, Robin will get a massage, and Usopp will host a show in case betting in the casino fails. Usopp demonstrates his show by having a sumo wrestling match against Luffy.

Luffy plays Kintarou Yokozuna and Usopp plays as a rabbit that plays with Luffy in a mountain. During their match, Luffy is taking it seriously even though Usopp stated to him that it wasn't. Franky, playing as a bear, decides to have a match against Luffy and requests that they use their strength. In a close match that takes some time to complete, Franky and Luffy decide to use their signature attacks: Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol and Franky Radical Beam. However, when Nami wakes up from her nap, she knocks out Luffy and Franky for being too reckless and they could destroy the ship. Doing this, she is crowned Yokozuna, however, she denies the title. The Straw Hats then notice a beam of light in the distance, so Nami looks at her Vivre Card for Gran Tesoro and it seems they're approaching the City of Dreams.
