Monkey D. Luffy, a man made of rubber and Monkey D. Keiko, a woman with unknown inhuman abilities who will do anything to let his brother become the King of Pirates, even if it means giving up her life.
This pair of siblings embark on a journey to...
Cabaji The Acrobat, and Roronoa Zoro, are both swordsmen face to face in combat. Zoro with his sword dripping his own blood and Cabaji looking at the beast in front of him.
"I'm feeling faint just watching this!" Nami says as she grabs her head, not believing what she's seeing.
"Get 'im Zoro!!" Luffy screams, excited. "Let's go swordsy! Let's go swordsy!" Keiko chants.
"I can't lose, not even once... To anyone who calls himself a swordsman!!" Zoro tells Cabaji, breathing heavily.
"So you injured yourself as insurance for your reputation... Well, don't worry, your wounds are severe, they'll make an excellent excuse when you lose." Cabaji chuckles as he draws his sword.
"It's the other way around!! If I lose to the likes of you when my wounds are only this light, then I may as well give up my dream right now!" Zoro smirks as he prepares his swords, putting his hand swords to the side and clenching his jaw, grabbing his sword more tightly.
"You scurvy dog!!" Cabaji clenches his teeth.

"Hey!" Nami calls Luffy, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Huh?" He turns to see her and so does Keiko.
"That shack behind the ruins of the tavern... That's where they keep their treasure!" Nami points at the building. "And Buggy's probably got the map of the Grand Line, I'll get their treasure and make my escape, I've got to do it now, while they're all knocked out... Whether you guys win or lose this battle I don't really care!" She tells them as she walks away.
But turns back smiling. "But if you do get that map from Buggy... They- And only then- Will I consider teaming up with you again... Good luck! See ya!" She starts to run away, waving at them.
"Wow! Thanks!" Luffy shouts at her, smiling, then as he turns back to the fight he feels Keiko's gaze. "What...?"
"I just sometimes ask myself... How we are siblings..." Keiko looks at him blankly making him kick her in the back.
"Roronoa Zoro!! Have a taste of the greatest of all my circus tricks!!" Cabaji says with three spinning tops on his hand. "And now 'The Dance of a Hundred Kamikaze Tops'!!!" He throws them, but then a hundred of them appear, going straight at Zoro.
All of a sudden, he makes his way to a building on the side and starts climbing it with his cycle., Circus trick: "A Hike in the Mountains." Meanwhile, Zoro fights against the spinning tops, the sound of the metal could be heard.
"Circus trick: 'Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze'!!" Cabaji jumps from the top of the building as Zoro finishes with the spinning tops.
"WOW! He's way up there!" Luffy says as he puts his hand on top of his eyes, trying to cover the sun to watch him.
"'Sting of the Unicycle'!!!" Cabaji yells as he goes down from the sky on top of Zoro with his sword out ready to kill. All of a sudden Buggy starts to move.
"Low Flying Chop-Chop Cannon!!!" Buggy yells as he sends his hand towards Zoro. "Cabaji!! I'll hold Zoro down!! You finish him off!" He shouts at him.
"With pleasure!" Cabaji smirks.
"Dang!!" Zoro says, looking up and to his side, not knowing what to do, everything happening to fast and exactly at the same speed Luffy stomps on Buggy's hand, making him yell in pain.
"LUFFY!" Zoro shoutsas he watches him.

"Keep your mitts out of Zoro's duel!"
"You little..." Buggy murmurs, squinting his eyes as he watches Luffy smirking at him.
"Heh..." Zoro grins.
"I don't need the Captain to lend me a hand to kill you!!" He shouts as he gets to the floor, slashing his sword, to the floor, as Zoro moved out of the way. "Hmph!" Cabaji sings, impressed.
"Huff... Huff..." Zoro breaths heavily as he tries to regain his strength. "I've had enough... I'm tires..." Zoro says grabbing Cabaji's attention.
"You're tired? Heh heh heh... What's wrong? Anemic?" Cabaji chuckles as he puts his hand on his face, moving his hair out of the way. "So you've finally given up! Well, I'm not surprised... It's amazing you can still stand in your condition!" All of a sudden Zoro stands up and kicks Cabaji to the ground.
"You've got it wrong. What I'm tired of... Are your stupid circus tricks!!!" Zoro speaks with a sinister voice.
"Very well! No more tricks! I'll finish you now..." Cabaji shouts, standing up with his sword ready. "With my real swordsmanship!!!!" He runs towards Zoro.
"Oni... GIRI!!" Zoro shouts as he slashes Cabaji with his swords.
* Onigiri: "Demon Slash." *
"Cabaji!!" Buggy yells angrily.
"Woah..." Keiko whispers, completely enamored along with Luffy, looking at it with shiny eyes.
"GGH...! How could these common thieves have beaten us? We're the Buggy Pirate Gang- The scourge of the seas!! How could things have gone this far...?" Cabaji whispers as he falls to the ground, defeated.
"We're not common thieves..." Zoro tells him as he takes off his bandana. "We're Pirates!" The last words of Zoro as he falls to the ground, completely drained. "Luffy... I'm going to sleep now..." He sighs.
"Go ahead and sleep! I'll take it from here!" Luffy says as he raises his arm, smiling at him.
"That's right! Now hand over the Map of the Grand Line!!" Luffy asks for it nicely.
"So that's what you're after! Well, a couple of lily-livered, no-name Pirates like you won't last a day on the Grand Line!! What do you plan to do there!? Go sight-seeing!?" Buggy chuckles at his own joke.
"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates." Luffy tells him plainly, making Buggy laughs uncontrollably.
"DON'T BE A FOOL!" Buggy yells at him. "If you're King of the Pirates, then what am I!? God of the Pirates!? The world's treasure will be mine! So forget it!" Buggy's voice squeaks.
"Okay, hurry up and attack me, I'm getting bored!" Luffy cracks his hand, ready to attack.
"You'll soon regret your words, Rubber Boy!" Buggy takes out his knifes, four in each hand. "You and your Straw Hat reminds me of him when he was younger... That insolent dog with the Red Hair!!!" His eyes turn dark just by recalling.
"RED HAIR!?" Luffy and Keiko yell at the same time.
