Luffy must clear the seas of the villainous Don Krieg in order to escape a year of chore-boy duties aboard the oceangoing eatery Baratie. Regretfully, with the support of his "Demon Man," Commander Gin, Krieg is fully equipped. The conflict unexpectedly shifts as Krieg displays his more lethal military prowess! Nami, meantime, is sailing the Merry Go into Arlong Park, the home of the eerie Captain Arlong and his Fish-Man Pirates, with wealth in tow. Anyhow, what kind of business does Nami have in Arlong Park? There seems to be a strange going on, and Luffy's group could be in over their heads!
