    Synopsis
Sure, lots of people say they want to be the King of the Pirates, but how many have the guts to do what it takes? When Monkey D. Luffy first set out to sea in a leaky rowboat, he had no idea what might lie over the horizon. Now he’s got a crew—sort of—in the form of swords-man Roronoa Zolo and treasure-hunting thief Nami. If he wants to prove himself on the high seas, Luffy will have to defeat the weird pirate lord Buggy the Clown. He’ll have to find a map to the Grand Line, the sea rout where the toughest pirates sail. And he’ll have to face the Dread Captian Usopp, who claims to be a notorious pirate captian...but, frankly, Usopp says a lot of thing....


    Catch up....Monkey D. Luffy started out s 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” Shanks, 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 set out to sea, where he found an unlikely partner in the fearsome partner in the fearsome pirate hunter Roronoa Zolo....

Now Luffy and Zolo are under attack by the ruthless pirate lord Buggy the Clown. Captain Buggy has also eaten the Devil Fruit—and gained the power to split his body into pieces like a jigsaw puzzle! How can Luffy fight a foe who’s literally all over the place? How can he trust Nami, the fast-talking thief who stole Buggy’s ship? As Volume 3 on ONE PIECE opens, the battle with Buggy is raging...and it’s only the beginning of Luffy’s problem.

My thoughts....this is the BIG battle between Luffy and Buggy the clown! it’s hilarious how they finally beat him! So funny you nearly wet yourself (or at least, you laugh out loud no matter where you are, which means, you get those looks from others) 

we find a deserted island that's not all that deserted

we also sail off into the disance and land on as island that's where we meet Usopp's and find out what the bulter's really been up to for the last 3 yrs. 
oh, and we can't forget Usopp's crew--Pepper, Carrot & Onion they are a awesome trio if I do say so myself.


   When it continues....the Black Cats Pirates have landed...but if they want the village, they’ll have to go through Luffy and his crew! How will Usopp’s slingshot, Zolo’s swords, Nami’s cunning, and Luffy’s elastic punch fare against the twisted mind and razor-sharp claws of Captain Kuro?
