One Piece is set in a fictional world, where pirates run rampant in an era known as the "Golden Age of Pirates". The story of One Piece follows the adventures of a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy whose body was turned to rubber after he ate a cursed fruit known as the Devil Fruit (Luffy's fruit was the Gum-Gum Fruit, in Japan it's called the Gomu Gomu Fruit). A side effect was the supposedly crippling flaw that Luffy can't swim (though why this is a flaw is questionable, as many pirates in real history were unable to swim) The story features many pirates with super powers gained from the Devil's fruit. The story relates the importance of following your dreams and of friends.
