Description
Summary:When the infamous pirate Gold Roger is taken into custody and condemned to death by the World Government and their militaristic Navy, he commands those in the audience of his state-sanctioned murder to find the infamous treasure that gives this story its name. Just as crucially, he has eaten a particularly rare and important Devil Fruit — a melon-size purple-and-green food rippling with texture — that gives the eater their own unique power set. [...]Luffy is able to stretch and move like rubber, bouncing bullets off himself and committing great feats of strength that defy his lanky frame — like a Looney Tunes character brought into the realm of flesh, blood, and gravity. Usopp (Jacob Romero), teller of tall tales and shooter of slings, brings a bumbling, wanting quality to the group.
