One Piece, Vol. 1

The adventure begins as Monkey D. Luffy sets sail from Foosha Village, determined to find the legendary treasure One Piece and become King of the Pirates. Along the way he rescues the timid Coby from the tyrannical pirate captain Alvida and frees the imprisoned swordsman Roronoa Zoro, recruiting him as his first crewmate. Together they clash with the corrupt Marine captain Axe-Hand Morgan, who terrorizes the town of Shells Town with an iron fist. This debut volume introduces Luffy's rubbery Gum-Gum Fruit powers and his unshakable dream of freedom on the high seas, laying the foundation for the entire series.
