One Piece – Collection Eight

The Straw Hats go from sailing on a cloud to being surrounded by Marines in this unedited twenty-seven episode collection of awesome! Lightning bolts rain from the heavens and innocent citizens run for cover as Luffy and Eneru go toe to toe to determine the fate of Skypiea. The heinous holy man has Angel Island by the throat, and Nami and Luffy must risk their lives in a desperate attempt to chase away his looming cloud of death! When the final bell rings, the Straw Hats find themselves plummeting toward the Marine stronghold of Navarone! This impenetrable island is surrounded by stone walls, and the only hope for escape is a daring dash into the freedom of the deep blue sea. The sailing certainly won't be smooth, and it'll take all hands on deck to survive this scrape! Amazon.com The episodes in this collection complete season six and begin season seven of the long-running comedy-adventure One Piece. The self-styled god Eneru uses his lightning to wreak havoc on the floating realm of Skypiea, which he plans to drop onto the Earth. But since he ate the accursed gum-gum fruit, Luffy is made of rubber: lightning doesn't hurt him. Eneru may be a tiresome motor mouth, but overcoming his formidable powers takes some doing, even for Monkey D. Luffy. Although Luffy eventually triumphs, Eneru escapes the ruins of his schemes and may cause trouble another day. Luffy rediscovers the missing golden bell of Shandora and rings it, rallying the people of Skypiea, celebrating his victory, and justifying the faith of the descendants of great explorer-botanist Noland. Amid the ruins of Shandora, Robin discovers a message left by the legendary pirate Gol D. Roger (whose treasure Luffy and every other pirate dreams of finding): apparently he once visited Skypiea, 10,000 meters above the Earth's surface. The grateful inhabitants of Skypiea load the Straw Hats with gold and send them back to the Blue Sea with the help of a giant, inflatable octopus. Unfortunately, it deflates and dumps the Going Merry into the waters of the atoll-like fortress of Navaronne. The commandant isn't exactly thrilled to have pirates drop in (literally), and Luffy has a 100 million-Berry bounty on his head. Escaping from the marines and the guns of Navaronne with their ship and treasure intact won't be easy for the Straw Hats. Luffy isn't King of the Pirates yet, but getting there has always been considerably more than half the fun.
