While sailing away from Shells Town, Luffy explains why his straw hat and dream of piracy matter so deeply. As a child in Foosha Village, he idolized the visiting Red-Haired Pirates and repeatedly begged their captain, Shanks, to take him to sea. Luffy mistook restraint for cowardice after mountain bandit Higuma insulted Shanks and poured drinks over him without provoking a fight. During another visit to the tavern, Luffy unknowingly ate the Gum-Gum Fruit from the pirates' treasure and permanently lost the ability to swim. Higuma later returned, threatened the village, and kidnapped Luffy after the boy defended Shanks. Shanks' crew easily defeated the bandits, but Higuma escaped to sea and threw Luffy into the water, where a Sea King attacked. Shanks rescued him at the cost of his left arm, teaching Luffy that protecting a friend matters more than pride. Before departing, Shanks entrusted Luffy with his straw hat and asked him to return it after becoming a great pirate. In the present, Luffy and Zoro continue toward their next adventure.
