One Piece, Vol. 28 By Eiichiro Oda

One Piece, Vol. 28 by Eiichiro Oda offers a comprehensive look into Monkey D. Luffy’s origins and the foundational dream that drives his epic quest. As a child, Luffy aspired to become King of the Pirates, a goal made more challenging after he inadvertently gained the extraordinary ability to stretch his body like rubber from eating a mystical fruit. This power, while granting him unique combat advantages, came with the severe drawback of losing his ability to swim—a critical handicap for a seafaring adventurer. This volume expands on Luffy’s formative years and the key experiences that forged his resolve to seek out the legendary "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world. Through Oda’s expert narrative, readers gain deeper insight into the motivations, sacrifices, and challenges that define Luffy’s enduring journey across treacherous seas and through formidable adversaries.
