Monkey D. Luffy dreams of being the King of the Pirates one day, but accidentally eating the Gum-Gum fruit seems to end that dream for him when it changes his body so that he can never learn to swim, but years later, Luffy sets off on a quest to find the world's greatest treasure, the "One Piece."

"As Sanji and Zolo defeat the two remaining Lead Performers of the Animal Kingdom pirates, the battle intensifies between Luffy and Kaido! Meanwhile, Kid and Law are locked in a furious melee with Big Mom. Can the upstarts defeat two reigning Emperors of the Sea?!"--

"Nami's sick! Now the Merry Go is without her navigator! Luffy and crew have but one choice -- find land and hopefully a doctor. They miraculously stumble upon Drum Island where it is eternally winter, but upon arriving they find out the island has only one medical professional -- and she's a witch! With Nami's life on the line, Luffy sets out through the snow-laden fields to find this doctor, witch or not!" -- p. [4] of Cover.

Arriving on a new island, Luffy and Zoro meet Nami, a girl thief with a special focus: robbing pirates! Specifically, she's out to steal a map of the "Grand Line," the equatorial belt where the mightiest (and richest) pirates in the world roam. It's just too bad the map belongs to the fiendish pirate Buggy the Clown! He holds the town in a reign of terror, blasting buildings (and people) apart with cannonballs, even destroying an innocent dog food...

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, an enchanted Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to stretch like rubber. Its only drawback? He'll never be able to swim again-- a serious handicap for an aspiring sea dog! Years later, Luffy sets off on his quest to find the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world.

The Straw Hats must cut their visit to Alabasta short when Monkey D. Luffy--who has the power to stretch like rubber--attracts too much attention, but the crew must really make haste after word reaches Mr. Zero--a.k.a. Sir Crocodile--that Luffy is still alive, as he orders his minions to eliminate his enemy once and for all.
