Luffy and crew stand up to "Saw-Tooth" Arlong and his Fish Man pirates, but no one expected Nami to be a member of Arlongs crew.

Captain Buggy reveals an unexpected connection between himself and Luffy's long-lost hero, Captain "Red-Haired" Shanks. Meanwhile, Luffy and his tiny crew must endure the Trial of the Forest on a remote jungle island if they hope to find the elusive One Piece.

If he's going to escape doing kitchen duty for a year aboard the Baratie, Luffy will have to get rid of Don Krieg. Unfortunately, Kreig's heavily armed and aided by his Demon Man commander Gin. As the battle commences, Nami has sailed off with the treasure in tow.

With all the Officer Agents defeated, only Crocodile and his final plan to destroy the palace stand in the way of peace. While Luffy battles it out with the evil Croc, Vivi and the rest of the Straw Hats have to find the bomb before it blows up the capital.

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming the King of the Pirates. His life changes when he gains the power to stretch like rubber. Now Luffy--with other pirate wannabes--is setting off in search of the greatest treasure in the world.

"The Straw Hats at long last reach Alabasta! But their stay is cut short when Luffy attracts too much attention from the Navy ..."--P. [4] of cover.

"When the Straw Hats come in contact with Bartholomew Kuma's bare paw, this Warlord of the Sea's teleportation power sends them flying to an unknown location. Luffy lands on a maiden island where he battles the local Amazons. But with the crew scattered all around the world, will they ever be able to meet up again?!" -- from publisher's web site.

"With his brother Ace locked up in the Naval prison Impel Down, Luffy doesn't have much time to rescue him before his imminent execution. While he may have found a way to sneak into the maximum-security prison, finding Ace isn't going to be as easy. But a chance reunion with some former enemies just might be a blessing in disguise!" -- from publisher's website.
