Summary

On Asuka Island, the Straw Hat Pirates learn about the Seven Stars Sword, considered the world's most beautiful sword and a valuable treasure, though it contains a deadly curse. When they come back to the ship, they find that Zoro, who was to act as guard, is missing, but they are forced to leave port when they are attacked by Marines. They dock in another section of the island and come across a village, whose job it is to keep the Seven Stars Sword sealed. It is soon attacked by Marines who are trying to free the sword--among whom is Zoro! What reason could Zoro have for doing this? What is the secret of the sword? Why would Marines want it? The answers lie on the night of the red moon.

Synopsis

Luffy and his fellows arrived at the busy port of Asuka Island. It was said that Shichisei Ken (Seven Stars Sword), the most beautiful sword in the Grand Line, and dazzling gorgeous jewels were hidden in the island. However, they were interested in food rather than gold. After they bought food and came back to the Going Merry, they found Zoro missing, who was supposed to stay at the ship. Soon, they shipped to look for Zoro avoiding the attack of the Marines under the command of Lieutenant Drake, and they reached the lake deep in the island. They met a beautiful girl, Maya, on the shore of the lake. Luffy asked her about Zoro, but she was scared and ran away. Luffy and Ussop ran after her, but somehow, they went to an animal trail in the opposite direction. On the other hand, Sanji who followed her came to a village where armed villagers were waiting. Then, Toma a marine swordsman, Bismarck, Boo Kong, and Zoro appeared. They wondered why Zoro was with Marines. Zoro was wielding sword against Sanji, and took three jewel ball Maya was holding, and then he was gone with Marines. At that time, Luffy lost his way and arrived at the training center of the Marines. Then, they met Saga, the leader of the center, and Toma, his discipline. Toma was glad to meet Luffy who had a bounty on his head. Saga said Zoro was his fellow, and fought with a long sword that emitted evil sprit. Luffy battled against him, but he was fallen from the cliff into the river. Removing the misunderstanding by the fight against the Marine, Sanji heard the legend of a cursed sword that had passed down in Asauka Island from Izaya who was the grandmother of Maya. Shichisei Ken was the sword that had ruined the country of Asuka with its cursed power, and had been sealed. It was said to awaken at the night with red full moon that came once in every a hundred years. It was a jewel ball, which Zoro deprived, that would prevent the sword from awakening. The sword was now owned by Saga, and he made Zoro deprive the ball to revive its power. What was their relation between Saga and Zoro? Whether would Shichisei Ken revive? All the mysteries would be solved at the night with red full moon.
