Inside this volume
One Piece Vol. 15: Straight Ahead!!! follows the Straw Hat Pirates as they arrive on the snow-covered Drum Island in search of a doctor to save the gravely ill Nami. Their search quickly becomes entangled in the island's troubled political situation, where the absence of a king and the legacy of oppression have left the inhabitants fearful of outsiders.
As Monkey D. Luffy presses forward despite harsh conditions and determined opposition, the volume introduces the people of Drum Island and lays the foundation for the crew's next major adventure. The story explores themes of perseverance, compassion, and the importance of protecting those in need.
Quick Facts
After Nami falls critically ill, the Straw Hat Pirates reach Drum Island in search of medical help. They are welcomed by Dalton, who explains that the island has suffered ever since its former ruler, Wapol, fled during a pirate invasion. With the country's doctors gone, only one physician remains, living atop a towering mountain that is nearly impossible to reach.
Determined to save Nami, Monkey D. Luffy carries both her and the injured Sanji up the frozen cliffs despite blizzards, exhaustion, and dangerous wildlife. His unwavering resolve reflects the lengths he is willing to go for his crewmates.
Meanwhile, Wapol unexpectedly returns to Drum Island with the intention of reclaiming his kingdom. His arrival throws the island into chaos once more as Dalton rallies the citizens to resist the former king's rule.
The volume concludes with Luffy finally reaching the mountaintop, where he encounters the reclusive doctor Kureha and her unusual assistant, setting the stage for the next chapter of the Drum Island Arc.
