Pure Gold

The Pure Gold is a metal created on the island of Alchemi hundreds of years ago, and is now assimilated into Bonbori's esca.
==Overview==
The Pure Gold is a small egg-shaped golden orb that glows very brightly. However, it lost its form as it was dissolved in Bonbori's stomach, and manifested itself as a very bright light inside its esca.
It is capable of halting the aging of anyone close to it, effectively making them immortal, and the stop in aging also means the stop of any sickness spreading in the body. Even a sliver of it has an equal amount of power.
The Pure Gold is so valuable that it is said it can buy the entire world. People ranging from pirates to the World Nobles themselves want it and will go to great lengths to get it, and it is said that whoever possesses it will be brought to ruin. Additionally, the giant footballfish Bonbori is very attracted to it, and will quickly rush to consume any Pure Gold it finds when it is separated from the owner. Due to Bonbori's large size, it will also end up consuming anyone nearby, and Nico Robin believes that the saying of people being brought to ruin is referring to them being eaten by Bonbori.
==History==
=== Past ===
The Pure Gold was created 200 years ago by Myskina Acier and Livia on Alchemi in an attempt to save their daughter Olga from a terminal illness called South Blue Emperor Fever. The Pure Gold worked, stopping Olga's illness, who would later receive a ring containing a small part of it. However, the rest of the world eventually heard about the precious metal, so many pirates caused destruction and death to obtain it. Although the Pure Gold was never stolen, Olga's mother died in one of the attacks, to which the girl did not forgive her father and threw her ring into the sea. However, this attracted a giant fish named Bonbori, which ended up swallowing the entire island.

==== Heart of Gold ====
Olga accidentally escaped from Bonbori's stomach with her ring in tow, but she was immediately pursued and captured by the World Government, as the World Nobles wanted her to lead them to Pure Gold. However, a treasure hunter named Mad Treasure also sought to find the Pure Gold on the orders of Gild Tesoro, and Olga escaped during a clash between the two parties. She ended up on the Thousand Sunny, and the Straw Hat Pirates offered to help her look for the Pure Gold and split the treasure. During a battle between the Straw Hats and Mad Treasure's crew, Olga's ring fell into the sea again, causing Bonbori to consume it as well as both crews.
The Straw Hats, Olga, and Mad Treasure reached Alchemi and searched for the Pure Gold, but Acier returned to his old home and stalled Treasure while Olga and the Straw Hats found the Pure Gold. However, they were separated from it as Acier blew up the mine, and Treasure claimed the Pure Gold, intending to use it to hunt for treasure forever. However, Treasure lost the Pure Gold when he was defeated in battle by Monkey D. Luffy, and it was dissolved in Bonbori's stomach acid. The entirety of the Pure Gold then manifested itself as a bright light in Bonbori's esca.
==Trivia==
*The Pure Gold shares many similarities with the legendary , as both are highly prized substances that can give the user immortality. The philosopher's stone is also a product of alchemy while the Pure Gold was created on the island of Alchemi.
*Gold is a chemically inert metal that reacts to very few chemicals, yet the Pure Gold is able to dissolve in Bonbori's stomach acid, implying it is different from regular gold in terms of chemistry.
