The Straw Hats are keeping the Officer Agents preoccupied while Vivi makes her way to the palace. Sanji's got his hands full with Mr. 2 Bon Clay while Zolo battles mano a mano with Mr. 1--or rather sword to sword body in this case! That leaves Nami on her own with Ms. Doublefinger--a prickly predicament with only her wits and Usopp's special weapon to depend on. Can the Straw Hats prevail against the best of the Baroque Works?!

Monkey D. Luffy finally gets his chance to become a pirate and heads out in a rowboat to seek the legendary "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world.

"The battle for Fish-Man island continues as a giant ship threatens to collide with the island and destroy everything.

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.

He holds the town in a reign of terror, blasting buildings (and people) apart with cannonballs, even destroying an innocent dog food...

After almost drowning at the hands of "Sawtooth" Arlong, captain of the nasty Fish-Man pirates, Luffy bounces back with a few tricks up his sleeve.

When CP9 tries to abduct Straw Hat crew member Nico Robin in order to activate an ancient weapon, they accidentally initiate a dreaded "Buster Call" military maneuver, putting Enies Lobby Island and everyone on it in danger of annihilation.
