A dense recap page summarizes the saga: In the Golden Age of Piracy, the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger left behind the great secret One Piece. Countless pirates raised their flags and fought for it. Luffy, dreaming of becoming Pirate King, sets sail on the Grand Line. The Straw Hats arrive at Water 7, the city of shipwrights where the world's greatest shipyard, Galley-La Company, is based. They seek repairs for the Going Merry after its ordeal on Skypiea. The crew learns the ship is beyond saving. Usopp clashes with Luffy over the decision and leaves the crew. Meanwhile, a mysterious incident occurs—the attempted assassination of Mayor Iceburg. The blame falls on CP9, a secret organization. Robin's true intentions remain unclear. Franky declares war after being framed for the mayor's murder, leading to a three-way battle.
