Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates was the most feared evil genius on the high seas... until he vanished.  Most people think he's dead, but his crew knows the truth: Kuro has been hiding in a peaceful seaside village, posing as a mild-mannered butler until the time for pillage is just right.  Now that time has come, and the ruthless Black Cat Pirates are about to attack ... unless Monkey D. Luffy can stop them!
