Monkey D. Luffy grew up hearing stories about the pirate "Red-Haired" Shanks and decided he would become a pirate too. When he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, his body became stretchy like rubber, but he lost the ability to swim. Years later, still set on becoming king of the pirates, he heads out to sea alone in a small rowboat to look for the One Piece, the treasure said to be the greatest in the world. WIT Studio's remake marks the anime's 25th anniversary and retells the original manga from the East Blue arc onward.
