By Eiichiro Oda.

Arriving on a new island, Luffy and Zoro meet Nami, a girl thief with a penchant for robbing pirates. With his royal henchmen, Mohji the Animal Tamer and Kabaji the Sword Sallower, fiendish pirate Buggy the Clown terrorizes a town, blasts buildings (and people) to pieces, and triggers Luffy's desire for revenge. It's pirate vs. pirate as Luffy and his gang go on the defensive against Buggy, who unfortunately has plenty of superpowers of his own.
