"I'm Gonna Be King of the Pirates!"
When Koby, a cowardly deckhand meets Luffy on his ship, he learns that unless he stands up for himself he will always be slapped around by his cruel pirate boss-Captain Alvida. Always one to back up his words with actions, Luffy soon demonstrates the kind of confidence he's talking about by fighting Alvida in a stunning showcase of his super stretchy powers!

"Roronoa Zolo: The Pirate Hunter"
Luffy and Koby get a hold of a small boat and set sail. Luffy wants to find Roronoa Zolo, the so-called "Pirate Hunter", who is famous for his mastery of the sword. After all, to make his dream of becoming King of the Pirates come true, Luffy needs a good crew. However, when he and Koby dock at the Navy base where Zolo's been captured, they have to get by the tyrannical Captain Morgan to spring him loose!

"An Unlikely Pair: The Pirate and the Pirate Hunter"
At first, Zolo thinks Luffy is a bit crazy for asking him, a pirate-hunter, to be part of his pirate crew, but after realizing how determined Luffy is in his cause, he agrees to join the team. And when Zolo helps defeat Morgan, he proves to be the master swordsman Luffy hoped he was. Now, with Captain Morgan defeated, the Navy town he once ruled finally has their freedom back. But as thankful as they are, they order Luffy to leave-after all, pirates and the Navy don't mix. So Zolo and Luffy set sail for the Grand Line leaving Koby behind to start a career in the Navy.
