The film is the Netflix adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's popular manga of the same name, which chronicles the adventures of a pirate crew.
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy accidentally ate the Devil's Fruit, after which his body acquired unique properties. As he grows up, the boy decides to follow his dream: to search for the mysterious Van Pis treasure, hidden by the famous pirate Gol D. Roger, and become the king of pirates himself. He forms a team called the Straw Hat Pirates. He is joined by the swordsman Roronoa Zoro, the navigator and thief Nami, the pathological liar Usopp and the Winsmok leader Sanji. Together, they set out to discover the Great Line.
