The Straw Hat Pirates are quick to let their guards down, but not everyone is convinced that this paradise is as perfect as it seems.

Their suspicions are soon confirmed when they discover a group of pirates that have been terrorizing the island. The Pumpkin Pirates, as they are called, are a band of fearsome pirates that ride on giant pumpkins and use vegetables as weapons. Their captain, an enormous man named Baron Tamago, is obsessed with finding the perfect egg to complete his prized breakfast dish.
