Romance Dawn Arc, Episode 1- I'm Luffy! The Man Who Will Become the Pirate King!
The One Piece adventure begins with the Pirate Captain, Lady Alvida, raiding a nearby cruise ship. Meanwhile, Coby, slave of Lady Alvida, is forced to be her cabin boy due to a series of some unfortunate events. He sneaks into the kitchen on the cruise ship, where he finds a barrel, full of booze, and as he begins to wheel the barrel outside three pirates storm in on him and begin to question Coby about why he is roaming around. They are quite thirsty, and interrogated Coby about what was within the barrel. Just as they begin to press him and move in on Coby. Suddenly, a boy, named Monkey D. Luffy, emerges through the barrel. Shocked and alarmed, the three pirates attack Luffy, whilst Coby sits out of the fight. The pirates stand no chance, and Luffy finishes them all off in a mater of seconds. Coby is amazed at how easily Luffy took them out, and talks to him in the pantry. Whilst talking to Coby, Luffy tells him the story of how he got in the barrel. He tells Coby that when he was on dinghy on his here, it got sucked into a whirlpool, and barely survived apart from the fact that he managed to jump into an empty barrel. Speaking in his turn, Coby tells Luffy that he was made Lady Alvida's cabin boy when he was going fishing, and accidentally boarded a pirate ship. Luffy then tells Coby about his dream to become the Pirate King. Coby is shocked at the extent of Luffy's dream and tell him that his dream is nearly impossible to accomplish. Luffy tells Coby that he will be satisfied if he dies trying to accomplish his dream. Luffy is amazed that Luffy has such dedication towards his dream. Meanwhile, the three pirates that Luffy beat, are telling Alvida that a pirate has entered the ship, and also tell her, that he is very strong. Unknown to the fact that meanwhile, a teenage girl is robbing them of their treasures. Suddenly, whilst Luffy and Coby are talking, Alvida bursts through the pantry with her iron mace. She gives Coby one more chance to stay alive and in her crew. She asks him, who is the fairest on all the seas. Coby knows that if he answers with Lady Alvida, she will spare him. But, he then remembers Luffy saying that he would be satisfied if he dies trying to accomplish his dream. He then believes to chase after his dream, and calls Alvida, the fattest and smelliest old hag. Alvida is outraged, and swings to strike Coby with the iron mace. As soon as she swings, Luffy jumps in the iron maces path and is struck right on the head. To everyone's amazement, Luffy survives the iron mace and punches Alvida, saying, Gomu Gomu no Pisutoru (Gum Gum Pistol). Alvida is blown far away due to the force of the hit. Luffy then demands a dinghy for him and Coby. As they prepare to sail in the boat, they see Nami. As they sail, Coby tells Luffy of a bounty hunter named Roronoa Zoro (name different in manga). The scene then changes to show a man tied to two poles. |
