Gol D. Roger, known as the King of the Pirates, is scheduled for execution by the World Government. However, moments before his death, he affirms the existence of a massive treasure called One Piece, hidden somewhere in the expansive ocean known as the Grand Line. Declaring that One Piece belongs to whoever is worthy enough to find it, the King of the Pirates is executed, marking the start of the Great Age of Pirates. Twenty-two years later, a young man named Monkey D. Luffy prepares to begin his own adventure, hunting for One Piece and aiming to become the new King of the Pirates. Equipped with only a straw hat, a small boat, and an elastic body, he embarks on a fantastic journey to assemble his own crew and a worthy ship that will carry them across the Grand Line to claim the highest status on the high seas.
