Publisher's Synopsis
Join Monkey D. Luffy and his swashbuckling crew in their search for the ultimate treasure, the One Piece.
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 CP9, a group of anti-pirate assassins on a quest for the superweapon called Pluton, has Luffy's Straw Hat crew in its sights. In a high-stakes chase, the Straw Hats must survive an epic tidal wave and catch up to a hurtling sea train full of enemies to save their newest member, Nico Robin-along with mysterious shipbuilder Franky-from CP9 clutches. Will Luffy's stubborn soul and seat-of-the-pants style cut it against a gang of heavily armed World Government goons?!
