Guess You're Out of Luck, Kid

Watching the mechanical arm swing toward him, Oak felt rather sentimental. The previous user of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit had been his former companion, Captain John. That guy had also loved slapping people with mechanical arms in every battle.

Could this be some inherited signature move of every Magnet-Magnet Fruit user?

Oak looked at the enormous mechanical arm and complained speechlessly. Didn't they know how to develop some new moves?

Just smashing people with metal looked incredibly stupid!

He despised Kidd for being just as unskilled as John, though compared to Kidd, John had been even more hopeless.

John had not only liked using the Magnet-Magnet Fruit to pull in metal and smash people with it, but had also loved using it to attract treasure.

So whenever they went out raiding in the past, John always came back with the biggest haul. Sometimes, that guy even robbed his own people. With a single magnetic pull, he would sweep all the treasure into his arms. Shiki and the others had beaten him up plenty of times over it, and even after being chased down and brutally thrashed several times, he never kicked the habit.

Who knew who had ended up benefiting from all that treasure?

As Oak thought about it, since the Magnet-Magnet Fruit had ended up in Kidd's hands, John was definitely dead. He just did not know how the man had died, or where all that massive hoard of plundered treasure had been hidden.

Whenever they gained something from a raid in the past, John would leave Hachinosu alone for a while to find somewhere to stash his treasure. Quite a few of the Rocks pirates had coveted that hoard, Oak included.

Oak had not truly wanted the treasure. It was not as though he had anywhere to spend money
