East Blue Saga

"The Dawn of Adventure" (冒険の夜明け), also known as the "East Blue Saga" (東の海” 編), is the introductory saga of the series. Monkey D. Luffy meets Shanks as a young boy living in the East Blue. This is where he recruits most of his crew and, ultimately, where the adventure begins. This saga is made up of five story arcs.

The saga starts off with a flashback of Gol D. Roger's execution. Before he dies, he tells the crowds to go out and search for his treasure. This sparked the Golden Age of Pirates in which countless pirates raise their flags and set off to find One Piece.

The Dawn of Adventure focuses mainly on Luffy setting off for the Grand Line and gathering crewmates. During the saga, Luffy gains four comrades: Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji; and earns a bounty of 30,000,000.
