One Piece

A brief description of the manga One Piece:

Wealth, power and glory. The man who fought for all this was Gold Roger, King of the Pirates. When he was executed, his last words were: “You want my treasure? You can have it! Look for him! Somewhere I have hidden the greatest treasure in the world.” This treasure is the One Piece and it lies somewhere on the Grandline.

Thus the great pirate age dawned… Monkey D. Ruffy is 16 years old and has a big goal: He wants to become king of the pirates and find the treasure One Piece! Ruffy has special powers from the devil’s fruit “GumGum” and is a rubber man. He has his dream of the pirate Shanks, who once saved his life and Ruffy shortly before his departure gave him his very important straw hat.

First he has to find a crew and a ship… No sooner said than done! With the strong swordsman Zorro, the liar Usopp, the pretty Nami, the master chef Sanji and later also the moose chopper and some others he creates a strange but perfect team. The now created “straw hat gang” (derived from Ruffy’s straw hat) has a lot of trouble with her crazy rubber cap, but that’s by no means the only problem, because many creeps get in the way of the gang. For example Captain Black, who wanted to destroy Usopps village, Arlong, who is to blame for Nami’s dark past, etc. Also the Navy gets in the way of the gang…
