About One Piece
It was the Golden Age of Piracy. Lord of Pirates Gol D. Roger had obtained everything. His last words sent people around the world to the seas. “You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place.” Pirates everywhere battled for the wealth, fame, and power of the legendary treasure left by Roger. Young Monkey D. Luffy idolized these pirates. Despite being unable to swim, Devil Fruit powers gave him the elasticity to stretch his body like rubber. With a straw hat given to him by Shanks, leader of the red-haired Shanks, Luffy set sail to become the king of pirates. From Wano country, the next destination is Egghead, Future Island.
