Today’s Arc: Alabasta. Remember to mark spoilers. >There once was a man named Gold Roger, who was King of the Pirates. He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece.” Ever since, pirates from all over the world set sail for the Grand Line, searching for One Piece, the treasure that would make their dreams come true.
Here’s how the story goes: We find out about a treasure in the Grand Line, there’s no doubt, and the pirate who’s eye is on it, he’ll sing “I’ll be King of the Pirates, I’m gonna be King!” His name is Luffy (That’s Monkey D. Luffy) and he’s going to be King of the Pirates. He’s also made of rubber. >How did that happen? Yo ho ho, he took a bite of the Gum-Gum fruit. Accompanying him are Zoro, who’s just like a samurai, an L-A-D-Y Nami who’s not shy, Usopp who’s doing that marksman thing, Sanji who’s cooking and Chopper who’s doctoring. With Vivi and Karoo in tow, they race towards Rainbase to stop Crocodile, the man aiming to destroy Alabasta!
OP: youtube.com/watch?v=RSe8D2wfGKI Previous threads: pastebin.com/mRRu0Miu Previously, the Straw Hats arrived in Alabasta's port town Nanohana where they were saved from a close shave with the marines by Luffy's brother Ace. They pass through the desert and arrive at Yuba, a once prosperous town destroyed by countless sandstorms. However, the rebels they hoped to meet had moved away to another town. Vivi plans to go there, but Luffy convinces her with his fist to head straight for Crocodile. Meanwhile, the top members of Baroque Works gather for their final mission, Operation Utopia!
