Years later, when he is already a teenager, he sets out to gather a group of misfits to join his crew and thus become the king of pirates. The road is long and it won't be easy, but the protagonist has an advantage: the power of the Gomu-Gomu, a devil fruit he ate in his childhood and allows him to enjoy special abilities such as stretching or generating great strength. Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Frankie, Chopper and Brook will be his great allies until the end.
