"The Passing of the Hat"
In this flashback episode, Luffy is a child hanging out with the pirate he admires more than anyone: Red Shanks. But as Luffy, Shanks and his pirate crew try to enjoy some down time in town, a gang of ruthless bandits pick a fight. Young Luffy does his best to stand up to the bandits, but in the end, he has to be saved by Shanks. Regardless, Shanks is so touched by Luffy?s show of courage he entrusts him with his precious straw hat. In turn, Luffy promises to Shanks that one day he will become the King of the Pirates.

"The Circus Comes to Town!"
Expert thief Nami may have bitten off more than she can chew when she stole a map of the Grand Line that belonged to the deranged Captain Buggy the Clown. But when Nami runs into Luffy, she convinces Buggy that he was the one responsible?landing Luffy in a cage and allowing herself the freedom to steal back the map that Buggy repossessed. But when Buggy orders Nami to fire a cannon at the caged Luffy, she fires instead at Buggy?s men inciting a large battle where we discover that like Luffy, Buggy has powers from a Cursed Fruit?the power to disassemble his body at will! Zolo takes Buggy on but how can a swordsman slice up what?s already in pieces?!

"The Beast Breaker"
With Zolo wounded and Luffy locked in a cage, chances for escape from Buggy the Clown and his crew seem slim. That is, until they find Chouchou--a determined dog that is always guarding his master?s pet shop. An old man explains to Luffy that the shop is all that?s left of Chouchou?s loving master and that he?s protecting his special place. Then suddenly, one of Buggy?s minions, Mohji the Beast Breaker, appears riding on a giant lion. Mohji and the lion tease little Chouchou and then smash his shop to pieces. Chouchou bravely wages battle against the giant lion controlled by Mohji, and when Luffy?s cage accidentally opens up, he uses his super stretchy powers to help out!
