One Piece Monkey D. Luffy has one goal: to become the Pirate King! His gangly, skinny limbs, blank Buddha-like stare, and scruffy straw hat don't exactly inspire confidence ... but Luffy is a boy that can't be stopped! He's fearless (literally, it seems), loyal, extremely strong, and to top it off: he's eaten the Devil's Rubber Fruit, which gives him the ability to stretch and contort his body like a rubber band. Along his journey, he gathers a crew of equally outstanding talents: Nami, the thief/navigator extraordinaire, Zoro, the notorious swordsman feared throughout the land, Usopp, who makes up for his faults in bravado and loyalty, and Sanji, the womanizing chef who can (literally) kick up a storm! Join Luffy and his crew as they make their way to the Grand Line - and the hidden treasure of the most infamous pirate in all history - Gold Roger!
