The story

The glittering Gran Tesoro, a city of entertainment beyond the laws of the government, is a sanctuary for the world’s most infamous pirates, Marines, and filthy rich millionaires. Drawn by dreams of hitting the jackpot, Captain Luffy and his crew sail straight for the gold. But behind the gilded curtains lies a powerful king whose deep pockets and deeper ambitions spell disaster for the Straw Hats and the New World alike.

One Piece Film: Gold recap

The Straw Hats visit Gran Tesoro, a giant ship and casino city ruled by Gild Tesoro, who has the power to control gold. Luffy wins big in the casino, then loses everything in a rigged game, and Zoro is captured and sentenced to be executed. Tesoro demands a huge debt for his life. The crew plans a heist to steal Tesoro's fortune with help from Carina, a thief who has history with Nami. Tesoro's story comes out: he was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons and grew up obsessed with gold. The heist hits trouble when Tesoro sees through some of it and the crew is caught, but they turn it around.

One Piece Film: Gold ending explained

Tesoro tries to execute Zoro, but the crew has switched the fountains to seawater, which washes off the gold and frees everyone from his control. The city's enslaved people rise up, the Straw Hats defeat his lieutenants, and Luffy, in Gear Fourth, sends Tesoro flying into the Marine fleet, where he is arrested. Carina offers to stay behind and steer the "self-destructing" ship away, then sails off with the whole of Gran Tesoro, while the Marines chase the Straw Hats.
