ONE PIECE Vol. 60 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The narrative dives into the heart of Mt. Colubo, where Luffy, Ace, and Sabo grew up as outcasts. Their dream of setting sail is shattered by the brutal actions of the Bluejam Pirates and the interference of World Nobles, leading to the devastating disappearance of Sabo. Years later, the trauma resurfaces as Luffy mourns the loss of Ace. Through Jinbe's guidance and the mentorship of Silvers Rayleigh, Luffy acknowledges his own limitations. He realizes that he is not yet ready to protect his crew on the Grand Line. Making a life-altering choice, he sends the cryptic '3D2Y' message to his scattered nakama, declaring a two-year hiatus to undergo rigorous training. As the world shifts—with the Navy under new management and the balance of power teetering—Luffy prepares himself to enter the New World as a pirate who can finally defend those he loves. He is no longer just a boy dreaming of the sea; he is a man forging his own destiny.
