ONE

Six contestants are transported to “The Plane” to compete in a competition for a wish for anything they want. Simple enough.

While Alvida and her pirates plunder a cruise ship, they come across a barrel containing a strange boy named Monkey D. Luffy. The timid Koby befriends Luffy, and they share their grand dreams with each other.

In search of members for his pirate crew, Luffy with his new friend Koby arrive at Shells Town. There, they track down the renowned Pirate Hunter Zoro but run afoul of Helmeppo, son of the infamous Captain Morgan

Nami, a street-smart girl who loves money and tangerines, makes Luffy's acquaintance. To save herself and steal a map to the Grand Line, she tricks Luffy into allowing her to turn him over to the infamous pirate Buggy the Clown.

Luffy meets a small dog guarding his late master's store. Meanwhile, Beast Tamer Mohji, Cabaji the Acrobat, and the lion Richie show up in the streets of Orange Town to get revenge for Captain Buggy's humiliating loss.

Shockingly, it turns out Captain Buggy and Red-Haired Shanks share a common history. When the bombastic clown rips Shanks' straw hat, Luffy's rage knows no bounds.

With Nami joining as Luffy's navigator (though not as an actual member of the crew), they arrive at Syrup Village in search of a proper ship. They meet a man claiming to be a pirate captain who also seems to have ties to Red-Haired Shanks.

After uncovering a devious plot, Usopp warns the village and Kaya, but finds his years of lying make it difficult to convince people of the truth.

Usopp resolves that if he is to keep the peace, the town must continue to believe he is a liar, which means he cannot let Captain Kuro's men up the slope to the village! Luffy, Zoro, and Nami aid Usopp in his plan to keep the Black Cat Pirates at bay.

With Usopp now on the crew and their new ship, the Going Merry, under their command, the Straw Hats head to an island said to hold a fabled treasure. There they encounter a strange man stuck in a box who has been looking for the same treasure.

The Straw Hats happen across Zoro's former partners, Yosaku and Johnny, whose dietary dilemma reminds the pirates they still need a cook on their ship. Thus, they set sail for the sea restaurant Baratie, hoping to snag a chef.

Luffy is on hiatus from pirating to work as a cabin boy to pay off the damage done to the Baratie. While he tries to convince Sanji to join his crew, the pirate Gin brings the infamous Don Krieg and his starving forces to the sea restaurant.

Luffy's group has reached the island but are met with a shocking revelation. Unmoved by Nami's apparent actions and her insistence that he leaves, Luffy stubbornly sticks around.

Koby and Helmeppo are new cabin boys for the Marines, but they become unwillingly involved in an escape attempt by Morgan. Their bravery will either earn them the respect of their superiors, or it will spell their doom.
