[NARRATOR] This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era.

A countless array of pirates go to battle across the seas

in search of the One Piece,

the legendary treasure left behind by Gold Roger,

King of the Pirates.

Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned to rubber

after eating the Gum-Gum Fruit,

sets sail to become the next King of the Pirates.

As Luffy and his crew conquer numerous obstacles,

they capture the unwanted attention

of the World Government,

which will use any means necessary to stop them.

[LUFFY] Now this is exciting!

I can't wait to see what kind of adventure's up next!

[NARRATOR] With a charted course awash in danger and intrigue,

the crew will cut a path across the Grand Line to the New World!

[NARRATOR] Luffy escaped the War of the Best with his life,

but failed to save his brother from execution.

In the days after, only thoughts of his crew

could save him from despair.

It was then that Dark King Rayleigh

made an unexpected suggestion.

Let me offer you some friendly advice.

[LUFFY] "Back to Our Captain!

A Jail Break at the Sky Island

and the Incident on the Winter Island!"

[gasps]

[RAYLEIGH] Hmm.

It's all right.

Luffy.

[JIMBEI] This is all so unexpected.

Please, Rayleigh, it's far too soon for this.

Luffy?

[RAYLEIGH] Just my opinion, of course,

but I do think it's what you and your crew need.

Luffy's body and mind alike

have suffered from this terrible ordeal.

Although there is truth in your words,

if he cannot heal, then all is meaningless.

But my crew won't know.

That's true,

they'll likely return to Sabaody as you agreed before.

The events at Marineford were publicized all over the world.

Though you're still reported as "missing," I'm sure.

[LUFFY] Then I have to go see them.

[HANCOCK gasps]

[LUFFY] They're waiting for me.

A promise is a promise, right?

So, I need to go to Sabaody.

Well, then I may have another suggestion for you.

Huh?

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, on the floating island of Weatheria,

the world's foremost meteorologists

are busy coping with a most unruly guest.

[HAREDAS, OLD MAN B panting]

Is it truly, truly, truly true? [pants]

That young lady... [pants]

...tried to escape?

We're a bit high up for that!

I shall explain. Hmm...

[NAMI panting]

[gasps]

Why, where are you off to, young lady?

[yells]

Carry on.

[OLD MAN B] She dashed through

the Weather Field, lickity-split.

Quite irresponsible, I must say!

Then, she descended into the Balloon Terminal, unsupervised!

[NAMI] Sorry, coming through!

Don't try to stop me!

[BOTH yell]

[NAMI grunts]

[OLD MAN B] Then, with a heavy backpack at her side,

she hijacked a balloon and took off!

However...

[gasping]

[NAMI] What the heck's going on? This thing's out of control!

[NAMI screams]

[NAMI grunts]

[NAMI] It didn't do this last time!

Did I grab a broken one?

Oww!

[gasps] Huh?

[OLD MEN] Hm?

My balloon's gonna crash! Help!

[OLD MAN F] No! It's coming straight for us!

[OLD MAN G] Goodness! We're doomed!

Hurry! Run away!

[OLD MEN scream, groan]

[OLD MEN groan, gasp]

[OLD MAN B] And there you have it.

Too much excitement for me!

[HAREDAS] Hmm. She may be a fiery young lass,

but I didn't think she would do that.

Now that I know the "what,"

it's time for us to figure out the "why."

I'll give back what I borrowed,

just let me out of this stupid bubble jail!

I've got somewhere to be, okay? It's really important.

C'mon! It's just a misunderstanding!

Oh, wait a sec! Haredas!

Get Haredas and he'll sort this out!

Pretty please?

[OLD MEN growling]

We're old and you're scary!

Who knows what kind of trap you're plotting!

This is a place of law!

You'll be punished for your crimes!

Yes, what if we shocked her?

Or drowned her a bit?

Which better befits a thief?

Ugh. You guys got it all wrong.

Please, let me out! At least give me a trial!

[OLD MEN] No way, missy!

[HAREDAS] Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Oh, hello, Haredas!

[HAREDAS] Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Well, well, what a pickle!

Hey, young lady.

[NAMI] Hey, yourself.

Another outburst!

You just weren't made to take it easy, were you?

But never fear!

You remember this fellow, right?

Here, I'll show you a trick.

Take your tightly tied wind knots, like so...

--[thud] --[groans]

[OLD MEN] Haredas! No!

[HAREDAS groaning]

I was counting on you to help me!

Get me outta here!

I'm in a rush, all right?

[OLD MEN] Are you okay?

Haredas, speak to us! Tell us you're not dead!

[groans] Yes. Or no? I mean, maybe?

[OLD MAN I] She hit that kind and gentle man!

What a beast!

[OLD MAN J] Doctor! Someone call the doctor!

[NAMI growling]

[HAREDAS] That's most curious!

So, she stole an armful of weather balls

and our research notes,

then tried to make a break for it?

See for yourself. It's all right here.

Young lady!

I'm a pirate. What did you expect?

What's wrong with a little theft?

Gotta make a living somehow, don't I?

[OLD MEN] Simply reprehensible! Such an awful human being!

We have a villain in our midst! Whatever shall we do?

Ugh. Just let me go.

You guys don't want me here and I don't want to be here!

You got back everything I stole. What does it even matter?

Would you stop flipping out for five seconds

and listen to me? I'm in a hurry here!

This is important!

[OLD MAN I] Don't get too close! She's terribly violent!

All right, I'm listening. Let's talk.

Though I should tell you,

stealing a balloon was both foolish and dangerous.

You need proper training to pilot one.

You could've easily died.

Prior to this little outburst,

you were perfectly eager to study here with us.

What's gotten into you?

Huh?

--[OLD MEN whimpering] --[NAMI] Read the front page.

[HAREDAS] The paper, eh?

You see that article about the pirate named "Luffy"?

He's the captain of our ship.

Is he?

Oh, I've seen that fellow before!

The boy's a real upstart.

Caused quite the ruckus in Marineford, they say.

He's famous for that straw hat that he wears.

[HAREDAS] Look at that grin.

He's a charming little rogue, isn't he?

[NAMI] Our crew has been separated for a while now,

so he doesn't even know if we're alive or dead.

I had no idea what he was going through until I read that paper.

I've been taking it easy all this time

while he was down there fighting for his life.

[HAREDAS] Hmm?

He saw his brother killed right before his eyes.

I didn't even know.

I couldn't do anything.

And now he's waiting for me.

And for the rest of the crew, I'm sure.

[OLD MEN gasping]

Luffy is strong, but this is too much to bear.

I want to be there for him. I want to help him.

[NAMI crying]

[OLD MEN screaming]

Hey, hey! Don't cry. You'll be okay!

[OLD MAN H] Hurry up and let her out!

[OLD MAN E] We're the real villains! Look at us!

Abducting an innocent young girl and making her cry!

[OLD MAN J] Give Haredas the key!

[OLD MAN K] Quickly now!

[HAREDAS] We're sorry, young lady.

Let's sort this out and--

--[OLD MEN gasp] --[HAREDAS screams]

[OLD MAN I] That's odd. Where did she go?

[OLD MAN E] I don't see Haredas, either.

[OLD MEN gasp]

[OLD MEN] Huh? How did she move so fast?

Thanks for everything!

Bye, bye!

[OLD MEN] Huh? "Bye, bye"?

She pretended to cry to take Haredas hostage?

And she's stealing our stuff again, too!

We can't let that little harpy escape!

Away we go!

[OLD MAN H] The world below isn't ready

for the genius of our research!

[OLD MAN E] I know! I know!

Take me to the sea! Anywhere! I can't do it by myself!

Impossible!

[NAMI] Make it possible!

[NAMI] Luffy, hang on, just a little bit longer.

I'm sorry. Every time we've been in trouble,

you've been there to help us.

Just this once, I hope we can return the favor.

[OLD MEN] Help! Thief! Get back here!

You've already captured me, young lady.

You don't need to pretend to cry like that anymore.

[NAMI gasps]

[NAMI] Shut up!

[HAREDAS screams]

[NARRATOR] We now return to Future Land Baldimore,

a mechanical island where the genius, Dr. Vegapunk, was born.

[KITTON] Grandpa! It's an emergency!

The freak! The freak! The freak!

I mean, the Frank! I mean the Franky, Mr. Frank.

I mean, I mean, Franky!

Just calm down and tell me, Kitton.

Franky!

He's acting all different again, but this time it's scary!

He's like some kinda monster!

Someone get me a ship!

[KITTON yelps] He's coming for me!

Tell the truth, Kitton.

You put something strange in that poor man's stomach

to see what would happen, didn't you?

Like habanero juice or kimchi soda or some nonsense?

Nuh-uh, not this time!

--[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Hm? --[KITTON screams]

[KITTON whimpering]

[FRANKY panting] It's an emergency, Gramps.

I gotta go see my friends.

I know this's sudden, but I won't take no for an answer.

I need a ship, dammit, and I need it right now!

A ship?

Sorry to say, but that won't be possible.

Huh?

We don't have a ship.

There's not a single one on the entire island.

There's a liner that comes to our country

each month to bring us supplies,

but we don't have any sea-faring vessels of our own.

All right, fine, when's the liner due back, then?

Not for a while yet, I'm afraid. It stopped by last week.

That's no good.

I can't wait. There's gotta be some way around this.

[FRANKY grunts]

You may have noticed this island is surrounded by walls of ice.

For better or worse, it works like a fortress.

The only ships that can reach us are

specially-equipped icebreakers and certain Navy vessels.

[groans] Well, this is bullcrap!

[FRANKY] I could get supplies to build a ship,

but that still wouldn't be fast enough.

[FRANKY growls]

Please calm down.

Do you want some tea or something?

[FRANKY gasps]

[FRANKY] Mm. This aroma is just lovely!

[ALL yelling]

[FRANKY] I ain't got time for this!

I'm tellin' ya, I gotta blow this joint

and I gotta do it fast!

[BOTH whimpering]

[FRANKY panting]

My captain needs me right now!

I'm lower than dirt if I let him down.

Damn it all.

I didn't know.

I understand how important this is to you.

But there's nothing you can do but wait.

[FRANKY grunting]

Oh! Here's an idea!

Yeah?

If I recall, Dr. Vegapunk developed an icebreaker.

It should still be tucked away in his laboratory, I'd think.

Of course, it's been years since anyone's touched the thing.

[FRANKY chuckles]

Who can say if it still works. Oh!

I know it's dangerous, so I'll stay home this time.

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER gasps]

Then I know just where to go.

Hold on. You've gone there?

Both of you without a word to me?

[FRANKY, KITTON] Yeah.

--[FRANKY] And it was awesome. --[KITTON] Sure did.

What?!

If it's broken, then I can fix it.

I am a shipwright after all!

That's not exactly the concern here.

I'm takin' this party to the lab!

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Wait! Listen to me!

[FRANKY] It's cold!

[siren blaring]

[MARINE C] We have an intruder!

[MARINE D] Someone's broken into Dr. Vegapunk's lab!

What should we do?

Dammit! Apprehend them, but don't use any firearms!

His inventions are too valuable.

We can't afford to have even one damaged. Understand?

[MARINE D] Yes, sir!

[FRANKY panting]

Get back here!

Crap! They musta tightened security

after the last time I broke in!

I can't get anything done with these guys chasing me!

[grunts]

Hold on. I get it now.

We can't shoot in here.

[MARINE D] Don't let him get away! Go!

[FRANKY] Wait, what d'you mean the lab is full of treasure?

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Vegapunk is the head

of the Navy's science division,

so all of his works are valuable. Priceless, really.

Our country's very proud of him.

Although, I suppose it's his mind that's the real treasure.

At any rate, he spent his youth working in that lab,

tirelessly.

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Have you noticed that mountain?

A rather unnatural shape, isn't it?

I never gave it much thought, but yeah.

There's a story behind it?

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] It's a project Vegapunk

began as a child. It was meant to protect the island's people

from frigid weather.

He built it by transforming the animals

in the forest into a robotic work force.

Unfortunately, it remains unfinished.

It's a sort of geothermal system to heat up the whole island.

[grunts]

The world just can't keep up with his imagination.

That's why so many of his works

remain buried here in a state of half-completion.

Sometimes, the technology or funds he needed didn't exist.

Even though he couldn't get rid of the cold,

knowing that he cared,

knowing that he worked so hard, warmed our hearts at least.

[whimpers]

That story is super depressing!

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Ya think so?

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] But the people here are happy

to wait for his return. Whenever that may be.

Please respect our feelings and stay out of that lab.

After all, it's equipped with a self-destruct button,

in case you wanted to know.

But why? Not the button.

I mean, why did you think I would want to know that?

Like I was gonna press the dumb thing?

Either way, that sounds pretty scary.

Why don't we forget about this whole mess and go home?

I'll make you some nice, hot tea, okay?

Sorry, kiddo, no way.

I didn't come all the way out here

with no pants on just to turn around.

I'm gettin' that icebreaker if it's the last thing I do.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your hospitality,

but I read the paper today

and it turns out that my captain has gone through hell and back.

So, bye!

You guys have a nice life!

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] I know it's tempting,

but no matter what, don't press that self-destruct button!

Would you give it a rest already?

Why the hell would I want to do something like that?

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER grunts]

[panting]

[MARINE E] Hey! I saw someone down this hallway! Over there!

Hurry!

I can't find the ship with them chasing me!

[MARINE E] Halt!

Did you hear?

The Marines came by and said someone broke into the lab.

That's not good. Let's just hope they catch him.

They're probably looking to sell stuff on the black market.

Even a blueprint from that place would be worth a fortune.

[MARINE F] This way?

Well, that was a pain in the butt. Huh?

[MARINE A] I shouldn't need to you remind you,

but so much as sneeze on one of Dr. Vegapunk's masterpieces,

and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison!

I don't care if you're a Marine!

[MARINES] Sir!

I can't believe the doctor cooked up

all this stuff when he was so young.

'Cause this is super brilliant work if I've ever seen it.

Half of this is so advanced,

it'll take another hundred years before the world is ready.

Maybe I don't wanna mess with this.

As a fellow engineer, I gotta respect the man's work.

Huh?

Sweet! He's got a pirate mark, too?

[BOTH screaming]

[CROWD screaming]

[ALL gasping]

[FRANKY] So, hypothetically...

...if by some crazy chance I press that button,

like you said...

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER] Hm?

Yeah, go on.

[FRANKY] You wouldn't, like, hold it against me, would you?

[KITTON'S GRANDFATHER, KITTON] Of course, we would!

[NARRATOR] News of this incident quickly spread across the world

and history would remember it as "Baldimore's Nightmare."

[NARRATOR] Zoro makes a wild dash to the sea

as Mihawk watches on.

Will the master swordsman impart wisdom to Zoro,

or will their reunion end in another deadly duel?

Meanwhile, Luffy begins a daring plan of his own.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"Encounter! The Great Swordsman Mihawk!

Zoro's Self-Willed Deadly Struggle!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
