Luffy finds himself stranded on Rusukaina, a treacherous island crawling with huge and perilous creatures.

From there, there, he has committed himself to a two-year stretch of training to learn "Haki," the energy that combatants can use to grant themselves a variety of abilities in battle. Luffy is jerked away from his otherwise peaceful training by the abduction of Sandersonia and Marigold, sisters of his companion and ally Boa Hancock. With Boa's aid, Luffy seeks to track down the infamous pirate responsible for the kidnapping, a man whose recent prison break is the result of Luffy's own reckless actions.
