History
When they were young, Ganzo and Woonan had an argument about how important gold really is. Ganzo believed that gold could not bring happiness. During the fight, they fell over the cliff they were on, hanging onto Woonan's pirate flag. Knowing how important the flag was to Woonan and that Woonan could not hang on for much longer, Ganzo let go so that the flag would not get ruined and so Woonan could climb up. Fortunately, Ganzo was rescued by a passing ship and woke up days after the accident to find that Woonan had already left to become a pirate. They never saw each other again.

When Ganzo, Tobio, and the Straw Hats finally found Woonan's crypt several years later, it was empty except for Woonan's skeleton, flag, and a dying message. Ganzo was surprised to find that Woonan had realized what Ganzo told him was true, and thought of their friendship as his most valuable treasure, rather than the actual gold itself.
