"New World, part 5" -- The Straw Hat crews are the only ones standing in the way of the New Fish-Man pirates taking complete control over Fish-Man Island. And when Hody puts his diabolical plan into action, only Luffy can stop him. Luffy may have become much more powerful thanks to his training, but how can he hope to defeat a Fish-Man at the bottom of the ocean?!

The Straw Hats, having learned the reason behind Robin's betrayal, try to rescue Robin, Usopp, and Franky from the CP9 assassins and worry their new ship, the "Rocketman," will not be able to handle the voyage through the tidal wave known as Aqua Laguna.

"When the Straw Hats encounter a mysterious barrel on the open sea, little do they know that it's a trap. Losing control of their ship, they're steered toward Thriller Bark. Any rational sailor would think twice before going ashore on an island full of zombies. But with Luffy at the helm, the Straw Hats are in for a scare as they become the targets of the dreaded Gecko Moria!"--P. [4] of cover.

"The Straw Hats have made it to the ocean in the sky, they are being pursued by not only the Skypiea Police, but all the other inhabitants of the sky too! Everyone wants them out, but will these outlaws be allowed to leave in peace?!" -- Back cover.

Talk about impossible! Luffy and the Straw Hats have to find a way to sail to an island in the sky, and the only one who can show them the way is known to be a greater liar than Usopp! It won't be easy, but can they trust their lives to someone nobody believes in?!

Dorry the Giant launches an attack on Luffy and crew, assuming they are the ones who gave him exploding ale. He's defeated by the rubbery power of the Gum Gum Rocket, but there's still one question: Luffy didn't do it, so who slipped Dorry the ale?
