Synopsis
Once
upon a time, Usopp was just a local boy with a talent for tall tales. Everyone
in his little seaside village knew him as the joker who claimed to be a pirate captain
and woke people up in the morning by shouting “Pirates are coming!” but then
real pirates landed on the beach...
Now
Usopp’s village is under attack by the Black Cat Pirates, one of the most
legendary and feared crews on the high seas. And three young would-be pirates
have joined him in defending the village: Nami the thief, Zolo the swordsman,
and Luffy, the straw-hated wannabe pirate with incredible rubber powers. Usopp
is about to find out how an imaginary pirate stands up to the real thing... and
what it means to be a real pirate. His neighbours would never believe it in a
million years....
Catch up....
Monkey D. Luffy started out as just a kid with a dream—and that dream was to
become the greatest pirate in history! Stirred by the tales of pirate
“Red-Haired” Shank, Luff vowed to become a pirate himself. That was before the
enchanted Devil Fruit gave Luffy the power to stretch like rubber, at the cost
of being unable to swim—a serious handicap for an aspiring sea dog. Undeterred,
Luffy sat out to sea and recruited a couple of crewmates: master swordsman Zolo
and treasure-hunting thief Nami.
The
battle with the black Cat pirate’s rages on, as Luffy and company try to help
Usopp defend his village against the plunder-hungry raiders. But despite the
team’s heroic efforts, the supple of deadly enemies seems inexhaustible. Though
Luffy mows down some with the ship’s feline stem post, and Usopp’s pint-sizes
“pirates” and Nami join the fray, victory is still far from certain. But even
as Zolo fights for his life against the strange, catlike Meowban brothers, Siam
and Butchie, a still more terrible menace emerges. Captain Kuro has arrived on
the battlefield, and Luff’s little coalition is about to discover the hard way
why he was once the terror of the seas....
My thoughts....again where near the end of
the battle with the Black Cat Pirates. Zolo is awake again, and angry as we’ve
ever seen him.
Kaya is still running, but
that won’t last long because the Hypnotist is on root, Usopp wants to go rescue
her but he’s body just won’t get up and he ends up spitting threats to them all
with his bum in the air. Zolo needs to finish of Butch and Luffy, finishes off
the battle by defeating Kuro. And sending him off with his pirates.
Luffy and crew get a new
boat from Kaya for saving them all and they tell Usopp to get into their boat
since he’s one of them, even though he won’t be able to be captain.
They hit a rock, and save a
man from the brink of death only the end up in danger again as they go to a floating
restaurant in search for a cook.
When it continues....there’s
more trouble on the Baratie when Sanji meets up with the one member of Luff’s
crew that he’s interested in joining forces with... Nami! Meanwhile, Krieg’s
men battle the Baratie for a decent meal, and Zolo encounters the challenge of
a lifetime.
