About this ebook

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer "Red-Haired" Shanks. But his life changed when Luffy accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure...one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world... -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

The whole One Piece story has been written for 20 years now and still going strong. Its exciting and funny and interesting to watch the characters develop as Oda breathes life into them. It's a wonderful ride. I'm 53 years young and I've been reading this story since it started, it keeps my spirit young. I love it !

Love the series since Oda always make use of so many different references from all over the world. And who doesn't love pirates or a good story ^_^
