The world has entered the pirate era. Pirate King Gold Roger's last words before his execution have incited a countless number of pirates to seek out the last island of the Grand Line, the island of Raftel, where the Pirate King hid his greatest treasure, the ''One Piece''. The story of One Piece follows the story of a young man named Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams of finding ''One Piece'' and becoming the world's greatest pirate.
When he was young, Luffy was inspired by a pirate that used Luffy's hometown as a base of operations, ''Red Hair'' Shanks. Determined to become a pirate, Luffy constantly demands for Shanks to take him to sea, even despite the fact that he can't even swim. After Shanks has an embarrassing encounter with a local bandit, Higuma, Luffy loses faith in pirates, and also learns that he accidentally ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a rare Devil's Fruit that turned Luffy into a rubber man, and forever denied him the ability to swim. Several days later, when Shanks is out at sea, Luffy encounters Higuma again, and is kidnapped when he retaliates against the Higuma's insults towards Shanks. Higuma is about to kill Luffy when Shanks's crew returns. A member of Shanks's crew single-handedly demolishes Higuma's bandit group, but Higuma escapes to sea with Luffy. However, having escaped from the pirates, Higuma's luck turns, and he is eaten by a sea monster after throwing Luffy into the water. The sea monster is about to eat Luffy as well when Shanks miraculously appears and saves Luffy, sacrificing his left arm in the process.
After this event, Luffy determines to become a pirate by himself, gather a crew stronger than Shanks's crew, find the world's biggest treasure, and become the strongest pirate in the world. Just before his final departure, Shanks gives Luffy his favorite straw hat for Luffy to return when he becomes a great pirate. Luffy's story starts 10 years later, when he finally leaves his home in search of friends and adventure, and to achieve his dream of becoming the world's greatest pirate.
