Inside Cover: Apparently you need physical strength to sleep. With extremely efficient sleep, you can wake up in a short amount of time feeling totally refreshed. Basically, you should sleep when you're at full strength. Basically. Therefore, in order to sleep a short time at full strength, I tried to power myself up before nodding off. I downed a STRENGTH ENHANCING VITAMIN DRINK and got into my futon. And then I wondered... How the hell is anyone supposed to sleep like this?
Back Cover: They have finally arrived at Alabasta. Once they land, Luffy heads immediately towards the nearest restaurant, but an unexpected character is already there... On the other hand, as the state of affairs worsens in Alabasta, Mr. 0 and the Baroque Works begin to move!! An ocean adventure romance in search of the "One Piece"!!
The Story of One Piece, from volume 1 to volume 18: It is the Great Pirate Age. Countless pirates have raised their flags and gone
to battle to find the legendary pirate king Gold Roger's hidden treasure, "One Piece". Luffy, who yearns to be one of those pirates,
sets off on a voyage to become the Pirate King!!
Having finally entered the Grand Line, Luffy and company join with the princess Vivi to sail to the kingdom of Alabasta, in order to stop
the secret crime organization Baroque Works from completing their "Takeover of Alabasta". They shake off some Baroque Works pursuers,
but Nami falls under a dangerously high fever, and they are forced to sail to nearby Drum Island. Luffy is fascinated with the
skilled doctor reindeer they meet there, Chopper, and invites him to join the crew. But Chopper has decided not to leave his home,
in order to protect the grave of his friend, Dr. Hiruluk, who died 6 years ago in grief over the future of the country. Then the
once-king Wapol comes back to the island. When he sees the pirate flag Luffy and friends put over his castle, marking Hiruluk's
grave, Wapol is furious! Chopper crushes the combined power of Chessmarimo, and Luffy blows Wapol into the sky far, far away.
Moved by his pirate's pride and Luffy's zeal, Chopper decides to leave with them to be a pirate, and says goodbye to his teacher.
Pink snow, Hiruluk's sakura, fell down on Drum Island that night, celebrating the memory of one man and marking the birth of a new
country...
Luffy and crew are just about to land at the kingdom of Alabasta. But inside the country, Mr. 0 shows up immediately and begins his
plan for the "Takeover of Alabasta"!!
