Gol D. Roger was known as the Pirate King, the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed
the Grand Line. The capture and death of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout
the world. His last words before his death revealed the location of the greatest treasure in the world,
One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding
One Piece (which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame), and quite possibly the most coveted of
titles for the person who found it, the title of the Pirate King.
Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy that defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than
the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate who ransacks villages for fun, Luffy's reason
for being a pirate is one of pure wonder; the thought of an exciting adventure and meeting new and intriguing
people, along with finding One Piece, are his reasons of becoming a pirate. Following in the footsteps of his
childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark
mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach One Piece.
