Synopsis

Monkey D. Luffy dreams of becoming King of the Pirates, a dream planted years ago by the pirate "Red-Haired" Shanks — even though eating the mysterious Gum-Gum Fruit has left him unable to swim. As a teenager, Luffy sets out alone in a tiny boat to find the legendary treasure known as One Piece.

He rescues Coby from the pirate captain Alvida and defeats her in his first fight, then frees the imprisoned swordsman Roronoa Zoro from the corrupt Marine captain Morgan in the town of Shells Town — gaining his first crewmate and setting the stage for the adventure to come.
