Luffy has been made a busboy on Baratie, the oceangoing restaurant. His oath to feed any and all pirates gets in the way when the pirates he just fed now want to serve him up for dinner.

As a kid, Monkey D. Luffy vowed to become King of the Pirates and find the legendary treasure called the "One Piece." The enchanted Gum-Gum Fruit has given Luffy the power to stretch like rubber--and his new crewmate, the infamous pirate hunter Roronoa Zolo, strikes fear into the hearts of other buccaneers!

Luffy, working with Usopp to repair the "Merry-Go," faces a tough decision when his money is stolen and he has to determine what will happen to the ship.
