History
The Treasure Beneath the Waves
In the beginning of the game, the Straw Hat Pirates meet a demon like, and Luffy names it Gaburi, as it only could say "Gabu" when they first met.[1] He helps the Straw Hat Pirates clear the ordeals to win the present given to them by the Great Tree. In the finale of the first game, he is to change into the present, since he is the guardian. The Great Tree then analyzes and finds them as evil, being pirates, and Garubi's attempts to support them are futile. Because of the analysis of the Straw Hats being evil, he changes into the final boss, the Doom Guardian. After the Straw Hats defeat the boss, they save Gaburi and pull him from the creature. It then gets up and launches an energy beam at them, but Gaburi jumps in front of them and sacrifices himself.[4]
Awakening of a Hero
Gaburi returns, but in an angel form.[2] Because he is separated from the Doom Guardian, however, it is only a matter of time before they would both disappear. The Straw Hat Pirates, not wanting Gaburi to disappear, start to clear the ordeals on the new island to increase his strength so he can unite with the Doom Guardian and overcome it. The Straw Hats defeat the Doom Guardian once again, but the Great Tree revives it as the Demon of Doom. When the Straw Hats defeat it, the Demon of Doom re-energizes itself to try to defeat them. Gaburi interferes and enters the Demon in an attempt to control it. When the Demon of Doom does not respond to Gaburi's will, the Straw Hats defeat it and free Gaburi.[5]
