"A Fleeting Moment of Happiness - Kumachi and Ginny"

SORBET KINGDOM, SOUTH BLUE

Going back 30 years ago.

This is the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue.

Eight years after the God Valley Incident.

Heave ho...

Help me, Kumachi.

You got it.

I feel much better.

Thank you.

Who's next?

Me.

My back hurts and I can't sleep well.

Help me again.

You've always been a great help, Kumachi.

I've been attending this church since your father's time.

So I was surprised when all of you suddenly disappeared...

We were relieved when you came back.

I'm sure your parents are happy somewhere,

knowing that their son has become a great pastor.

BARTHOLOMEW KUMA (AGE 17), PASTOR

The pain is gone!

Thank you so much.

What a blessing.

He'll remove any kind of pain...

They're indeed Miracle Hands.

Hey, Kumachi. Can't you do this on weekdays, too?

No! Just Sundays!

You don't even pay for this. You're so shameless, you old codgers!

Here comes the mean Ginny!

Oh, shut up!

This is not a campground or a hospital!

Go away!

She has such a bad mouth, but since she's so pretty...

GINNY (AGE 21)

Men from the town never stop asking her out!

Don't change the subject!

Well, she's already got Kumachi.

What?

Oh, I think we nailed it.

You can't deceive us.

We're not living longer for nothing.

That's enough!

If you're done here, go home already!

Don't be so mean, Ginny.

Seeing Kumachi's face helps us relax.

Glad to hear that.

You're being too sweet to them!

I'd pay Kumachi as much as I could...

But it's already hard enough to get by because of the Heavenly Tribute...

And now we've got this new king.

King Bekori is famously cold and heartless.

If we fall ill, we can't pay the Heavenly Tribute...

And then he'll lock us up!

How terrible.

I heard that an old man who was jailed the other day starved to death.

Starved!

The king won't even feed prisoners. What a skinflint.

But he sucks up to the Celestial Dragons. He's really despicable.

Old people who are poor can't survive.

In order not to be killed, we must be healthy.

If it's a minor ailment or pain, I can take it away for you.

Come every week.

--Are you sure? --We appreciate it, Kumachi.

This is all we can give you...

Eat it with Ginny later.

Thank you!

Goodbye!

Please help us again!

Yeah, see you next week!

How can you do this to yourself every week?

They don't even know that you're suffering.

There's no other choice...

The mass of pain and suffering...

...won't just disappear until someone accepts it.

If left untouched, it'd return to the person it came from.

Most importantly, I feel delighted...

...to see everyone happy.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

I'll train harder and become stronger...

That's not the issue.

I'm okay now.

You sure?

They gave us some food, right? Let's eat.

Yay! Mealtime!

Let's eat!

Let's eat.

Yummy!

Hey, Ginny.

If it's sunny tomorrow, can we go somewhere?

Sounds good! How about a barbecue?

It's right around the time for the salmon run,

so maybe by the river?

Yeah. Let's do that.

Ya-hoo! Can't wait!

25 YEARS AGO Time rolled on, but when Kuma was 22...

Thank you as always.

Good morning, Kumachi.

Good morning, Ginny.

Do you want me to make some coffee?

Yeah.

I love the coffee you make!

It'll be ready soon.

I've got an idea!

Let's get married, Kumachi!

What?!

No!

What?!

Why?! Let's just get married!

I know you really love me!

I promise I'll make you happy!

I know I'll be happy, but...

I'm the only one who has Buccaneer blood!

My wife doesn't!

Let her and my kid go!

Your mother's dead...

Please understand, Ginny.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

Kumachi!

L-Look!

There's an article about the Freedom Fighters again.

They've incited protests in various countries

and have been placed on the wanted list!

Dragon. He is so cool.

I'm sure he's thought of as a hero.

I want to go out to the sea someday and devote my life...

...to saving others, too.

Just like Nika, the Warrior of Liberation.

Hey! Are you here?!

Who is it? It's still early in the morning.

Hi, Kuma!

Sorry to bother you this early.

What's up?

Ginny, my love!

We caught a huge haul today. Please take some fish!

Oh! Thanks, Gyogyo!

Ouch!

She's mad at you.

Fool...

And then 22 years ago,

a major incident took place in the Sorbet Kingdom.

A CASTLE TOWN, SORBET KINGDOM

Wait!

What are you doing?! KUMA (AGE 25)

Release those you kidnapped!

Who is this big loser?

He's a pastor from the South.

You're just a pastor, stay out of this!

Are you trying to defy the Royal Army?!

Kumachi, help!

Don't move, old bag!

Hey, Father!

I'm sure you heard that the laws have changed.

Now we're free to use people from the South however we want.

Are you going to turn them into slaves?!

Stop it now!

K-Kumachi!

It's His Majesty's policy.

We'll drive them to work hard.

Until they die.

Stop!

Damn you!

You crossed the line!

You rebels!

Enslaving you isn't enough!

I'm gonna kill you!

What's that?!

It's unforgivable!

Your Majesty.

This policy is not well received among the people of the kingdom.

Won't the people resist?

Don't worry.

People tend to be easily swayed by labels.

Soon, they'll start looking down on the South.

Right...

Starting today, just the north part of the island is the Sorbet Kingdom.

The amount of the Heavenly Tribute to be paid to the Government...

...is determined by the number of citizens.

Thus, the South, with its many old people who can't pay much Heavenly Tribute,

SORBET KINGDOM KUMA'S CHURCH

CASTLE TOWN LAWLESS AREA, ELDERLY VILLAGE

is dragging us down.

CASTLE TOWN, SORBET KINGDOM

If we cut them off, this kingdom will become rich.

KUMA'S CHURCH ELDERLY VILLAGE, LAWLESS AREA

It's that easy...

PRISON

Why are you guys in here, too?

We ran amok, saying we wanted you back...

They beat the hell out of us.

We did something out of character...

But it felt good.

This is wrong...

Just because you're living in the South, you'll be enslaved...

Kumachi...

Ginny. This country is turning into a place where the poor suffer harsh discrimination.

King Bekori is the Celestial Dragons' puppet.

This policy was put in his head from above.

If we want to rebel against this country,

we must be determined to fight the World Government.

Who are you people?!

Your Majesty! Please evacuate!

I won't let you escape. You stupid Celestial Dragon wannabe!

How sickening!

D-Don't tell me you're...

Thanks to outside intervention,

the Sorbet Kingdom narrowly avoided that evil policy.

The king has given in!

The slave policy is repealed!

Thank goodness! I don't wanna live in such a country.

Seems like your favorite guy really created a scene.

I'm sure you'll like him at first sight, Dragon.

Kuma! Ginny! You guys were caught!

I'm here to get you out!

What?! Iva-chan?!

Big Bro?!

And that man you're with...

Dragon?!

Hey, Kuma!

If you're still the same man you were then,

join us to change the world together!

Okay!

I'm going, too!

Heehaw!

The Freedom Fighters, who transformed people's anger at governments into protests,

decided to take up arms...

...in response to the advent of the Pirate Era and the tragedy of Ohara.

Adding Kuma to their twin pillars of Dragon and Ivankov,

they transformed themselves into the Revolutionary Army,

which would become infamous throughout the world.

We still don't have enough money.

Like mercenaries, we'll help those who aspire to rebel to overthrow their kings.

We'll train those who wish to join how to use weapons and fight.

Eventually, I want it to be a huge army spread across the world.

Why do you know how to use weapons, Dragon?

I spent a short time in the Navy.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any "justice" there.

Both the Navy and the Revolutionary Army...

...just want to help people.

I'm with you to the end, Dragon.

Me too!

You won't regret it.

Oh! You returned, Kumachi!

I was worried about you all.

I'll be back to see you from time to time.

How sweet.

Is anybody sick or hurt?

And eight more years passed.

14 years ago, in a certain kingdom...

GINNY, CAPTAIN REVOLUTIONARY ARMY EASTERN FORCES

Kumachi! Kumachi!

Kumachi! Kumachi!

You look happy, Ginny-san.

Oh, is it showing?

Because tomorrow...

...we'll meet up with Kumachi's group.

I really can't wait!

I wish I were Captain Kuma.

He's loved by everyone's crush.

What? You've got a crush on me?!

Ew! You snotty brats!

So harsh.

BALTIGO, REVOLUTIONARY ARMY HEADQUARTERS

Dragon-san! Dragon-san!

Ginny's been...

...abducted?!

I'm sorry! The enemy caught us off guard...

I can't protect anyone again mata daremo mamorenai no

It's my fault that the voice is fading away kiekakaru koe wa boku no sei

I don't even have time to look down utsumuku hima mo nai no

Gravel marks on my palms tenohira ni tsuku jari no ato

EVERYDAY, can't be defeated EVERYDAY makerenai

We have something here to protect mamoru mono ga koko niwa aru

This may not be what I expected yosou chigai kamo?

But we can't stop now tomarenai yo mou

We go on, sharing loneliness kodoku wo ima wakeai susumu

After Ginny was abducted, Kuma takes his helpless rage out on the battlefield.

Two years pass with no chance of rescue, and then suddenly a call comes from her!

Kuma thought he would never get to see her again,

so he rushes to her and sees a shocking sight!

On the next episode of One Piece! "A Pledge to Ginny - Kuma Becomes a Father"

I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!
