4/5 Stars
We met the main character, Monkey D. Luffy. His idol is Shanks. He stole his most valuable treasure and ate it to make him the most able to Shanks. He ate the gum gum fruit. It was a devil fruit. When you eat a devil fruit you will lose your ability to swim in exchange for a power. Luffy wants to be king of the pirates. So he went to sea to find a crew. His first crewmate was a swordsman named Rohan Zoro. He was tied up on a cross before Luffy came and saved him, and gave him his three swords. When he got out, he stopped the marines from killing Luffy. He said "I'll join your crew, if you can help my goal of being the world strongest swordsman." Then we meet Nami. She stole some things from a pirate named Buggy the Clown. Luffy started beating up Buggy the Clown to help Nami so she could be his navigator. Luffy won the fight with Buggy the Clown. Luffy meets Usopp, who knows a person who can gives the crew a ship. The person's name is Kayla and we see her butler, Klahadore. The butler wants to kill Kayla so he can steal her money, because he's a pirate. The rest of the information will be in Volume 4.
