One Piece, Volume 16: Carrying On His Will

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, Luffy sets off in search of the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world...

Avalanche! Luffy and Sanji surf a tree down a mountain on a fast-moving wave of snow and just avoid being buried alive. But then the demented King Wapol suddenly appears and orders Luffy's and Sanji's deaths. With no time to lose, Luffy evades the attacks. Then, out of the blue, an unlikely friend comes to his rescue! A friend who was trying to kill him only hours before!
