Vol. 1: Romance Dawn, One Piece

Luffy is a pirate who has the devil fruit ability.he is always hungry, so when he was a little kid, he ate guma guma(rubber)fruit, then he become a rubber man. He managed to have nakama(followers): zoro the swordman (want to be the best swordman, nami (want to draw world map), ussop (long nose coward who want to be bravest man on sea), sanji (who want to see blue sea-place where all fishes from diff. ocean meet), tony tony chopper (a reindeer who eat devil fruit that makes him a human), vivi (alabasta princess), carue (Vivi's spot blind bird). To be a pirate king, Luffy cs need to enter grand line and claim one piece (the pirate king-Gold Roger's treasure).

Luffy, who looks stupid but actually is dependable, is now on the death verge fighting one of the most famous pirate in grand line. I can not wait to see the continuation. Luffy cs never fail to give suspense, homour ( a lot of laugh), and drama (not too sad). There is no much romance on these series, although it is not that important. One piece is one of the best manga series nowadays

Monkey D. Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates. He has always had this dream, from when he was a kid, and now he is off on a small boat armed with a large heart and a rubber body. Yes, a rubber boy. You see, he ate the fruit of the gum-gum tree which turned him into a boy of rubber. And now he must go forth, fighting pirates and the law, to find the One Piece, the greatest treasure in the world. The problem is nobody knows where it it and he has no training in navigation.

I LOVE THIS MANGA!!!!! Im a Shonen Jump Subscriber who loves One Piece and when I found out Shonen Jump was coming out with One Piece Graphic Novels I bought it at once! I read the whole book in one day and loved every minute of it! My favorite characters are pirate captain Monkey D. Luffy, and his first mate Roronoa Zoro. I think anyone who loves DragonballZ or Yu-Gi-Oh will love One Piece too.

This book has always been a great book for starting Manga readers, And for longtime readers this longtime Gem is worth it due to its long run. The book has always had a funny/serious tone, yet it never stops the action. Like I said before, If you are just new to Manga & Anime, This is a Great book to help you start reading, and for longtime readers who have already read it, Its just nice to have this classic in your collection.

Pirates, swearing, and action. Hopefully everyone will be expecting these three things when they purchase this series.

Not only is there action, but also a ton of comedy. I laughed myself hoarse during a few scenes of One Piece and I don't think it's humanly possible NOT to find at least one thing funny in this series.

Not for young children since there are some adult situations, comedy, and violence, but for ages 15+ this manga/anime is a must.

I love this story so much. The characters are great, the villians are weird, and the pace is great. This volume shows the beginning of Luffys journey and as he meets Zolo and Axe-Hand Morgan. It finishes off when Luffy meets Nami. Great start to a great series!

Hehe... this is one of the most awsome mangas ever. Its about a little boy who wants to become a pirate. His hero is shanks and fights several enmey who are powerful... buggy, captain kuro, arlong, krieg, crocodile, mr 1-5, lucci, and enel...( i may have forgot some.) Anyways, he finds new abilities and funny ways to fight enemy pirates... BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely recommend this book not only for young but also for adult. What's your dream? What was your dream when you were children? You can start or re-start what you want to or wanted to do whenever you wanna start it. Don't hesitate it if your parents, friends, bosses try not to lets you go! THIS is a message from this book, not book, bible.

Im sorry but ninjas are cooler then pirates. And arguably Naruto has a better leading character and better support characters. This is a close second but since Naruto is now getting its own show on Cartoon Network I feel it has a bit more of an edge. This is definatelly a great manga thought, dont be afraid to try it. Just do me a favor and try Naruto as well. =)
