The Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #14, officially on sale March 7, revealed the color character designs for Gild Tesoro and his Tesoro crewmates from One Piece Film: Gold and provided more information about this crew.



First is the leader of the Tesoro Crew in One Piece Film: Gold , Gild Tesoro. He is the man in pink and the ruler of the Gran Tesoro — the enormous golden boat that also acts as an enormous casino and entertainment facility and was recognized as a demilitarized zone by the World Government. According to this week’s issue of Jump, Tesoro the “Casino King” is said to control 20% of all the berries (also known as “belis”) in the world to the pount that he is even able to influence the world government through financial means, and like his crewmates, he is also a Devil Fruit user. As hinted in the collaboration video with Toho Cinemas, and the movie’s title, Gild Tesoro is a “Gold-Gold” Devil Fruit user. Not a lot more is known about his Devil Fruit’s specific powers, but this may mean that we will see One Piece‘s very own King Midas.



Next up is Baccarat (pronounced “bac-a-rah“), the second member of the Tesoro Crew who has a “classy attitude,” is the wielder of the “Luck-Luck” Devil Fruit and the Gran Tesoro’s concierge. She escorts the Straw Hat crew upon their arrival. People who have been touched by this mysterious woman seem to have “their luck turn,” but is it for the better…or worse?





The third member of the Tesoro Crew is Dice, a bulky man who is in charge of bringing “the most amazing games” to the casino’s visitors. Dice also holds a “special power,” but Jump does not go into further detail.





The fourth member of the Tesoro Crew is Mr. Tanaka, in charge of the Gran Tesoro’s security and wielder of the “ Mellow-Mellow ” “Fade Fade” Devil Fruit* which is said to be related to his role on the Gran Tesoro.





The final member of the Tesoro Crew revealed in this week’s Jump is Carina. This person, who was seen arguing with Nami in last week’s issue of Jump, is actually the Gran Tesoro’s singing queen. She also holds a Devil Fruit power. However, the fruit’s name, let alone what it does, remains a mystery to be revealed. Our own Joey Weiser noticed Carina on the One Piece Film Gold poster from last week:

*The Japanese uses “nuke-nuke” which might come from the onomatopoeia for being “nonchalant,” but unlike Baccarat’s Devil Fruit name, Mr. Tanaka’s Devil Fruit power is more mysterious making it difficult to correctly name it in English. Japanese One Piece fan “Mr. One Piece” mentioned a very convincing theory that Mr. Tanaka has a body type similar to the new ninja on the (Rai)Zou-block. And because he thinks “nuke nuke” might come from surinukeru” in Japanese which can be translated as “slip through/go through” (a wall for example), it’d enable him to roam the ship without any problem. And with his similar physique to Raizou’s, it’d be fun if Mr. Tanaka turned out to be from Wano where he’d have used these abilities when he might have been a ninja. Because of how convincing this theory sounds, I decided to change the name of Mr. Tanaka’s fruit from “Mellow-Mellow” to “Fade Fade” since it’d be as if Mr. Tanaka was “fading away” or disappearing when moving through walls. Either way, we’ll be sure to update you if any more news comes out on Mr. Tanaka’s Devil Fruit abilities.



Update: Based on the first trailer of the movie showing off some actual footage, I have decided to abandon the name “Mellow Mellow” for Mr. Tanaka’s DF name and will keep on using “Fade Fade” instead, based on his apparent ability to go through walls and ceilings/floors as guessed by One Piece fan “Mr. One Piece”
