[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] After losing his brother, Ace,

Luffy fell into despair.

Me? King of the Pirates?

Dammit!

I'm too weak!

[NARRATOR] However, after speaking with Luffy,

Rayleigh convinced him to return to Marineford

and deliver a message to his crew.

[NARRATOR] When the rest of the Straw Hats

learned of his puzzling behavior

through an article in the newspaper...

[NARRATOR] ...they each found a new purpose in their journey.

Because Luffy wants to become the King of the Pirates.

And to help him,

I need to be the best navigator the world has ever seen!

[FRANKY] Listen up, Luffy.

The Thousand Sunny isn't givin' up, not ever.

And as her captain, I know you aren't givin' up either.

So, let's sail.

[SANJI] Luffy, when we meet again...

[SANJI] ...I'll be the best damned chef

in all of the New World.

I'll make food fit for the King of the Pirates!

[LUFFY] "I Will Get Much, Much Stronger!

Zoro's Pledge to His Captain!"

[NARRATOR] In Tehna Gehna Kingdom

on Sword Mountain Island.

Ladies and gents, feast your eyes!

[CROWD shouts]

What is everyone looking at? Must really be something!

[MAN I] I heard they found some kinda crazy monster!

[LONGARM BOSS] Come one, come all!

This is a spectacle you'll have to see to believe!

No organs!

No skin!

No eyeballs either!

Step right up and meet the walking, talking skeleton!

The strangest thing is, it's only got one set of elbows!

Who knew such an anomaly could exist in this world?

Hey! Do you think we're a buncha suckers? Gimme a break!

Huh? Did we offend you?

[MAN B] It's not walking or talking!

I'm not paying for this!

[MAN J] Yeah, it's just a stupid statue!

[LONGARM BOSS] U-Uh--

[CROWD shouting]

[BROOK] It seems Luffy's made up his mind.

There's no more time to waste, for me or anyone.

Hey, bonehead! What's the big idea?

I'd better do something and quickly!

That's right.

Sing, tap dance-- anything's fine!

We can't disappoint this whole damn crowd!

But how can I possibly be of any use?

[LONGARM TWINTAILS] He already told you that, lazy bones!

Just get up and move around!

This is a rip-off!

[BROOK] When he saw me for the first time,

he wasn't afraid of my appearance in the slightest.

He reached out to me without hesitation.

Here's a question, you ready?

Will you join our crew?

Yes, certainly.

[SANJI, NAMI gasp]

[BROOK] I was overjoyed.

For 50 years,

I'd been drifting aimlessly on those dark, lonely waters.

[BROOK] My shadow was stolen.

I don't want to hear you make excuses like that!

If you need your shadow back so bad,

then we'll get it back for you!

Bone Balloon!

[MORIA groaning]

[BROOK gasps]

[LUFFY yelling]

[MORIA groans]

I'm so glad to still be alive!

Heh. Well of course, right?

Ah, so does the offer to join your crew still stand?

Yeah, welcome aboard.

[SANJI, USOPP] What?! Just like that?!

[CHOPPER, FRANKY] For real?!

[NAMI yells]

[laughs]

[BROOK] You'll never know how much that meant to me.

[BROOK] In that moment,

I realized that my 50 years of waiting had finally paid off.

Where's our money?

Yeah, give it back!

Crap. The stupid skeleton's hanging us out to dry!

Fine then, we'll just have to force him to get up!

[LONGARMS gasping]

[CROWD gasps]

So, it does move!

[LONGARMS gasp]

Forty degrees!

[CROWD gasps]

[BROOK] That didn't go as planned.

They were right, that thing is alive and it talks!

This is creepy!

What if it tries to eat me?

Seems I can't go lower than 45 degrees.

I thought as much.

But if I can overcome that...

[BROOK] ...perhaps I can be of more help to Luffy.

Hmm...

Well, maybe there's an easier way.

[guitar plays]

He's playing a guitar?

Hey, that's cool!

Where did you even get that thing from?

You were enough of a damn freak show to begin with!

Let's tone it down a little, okay?

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

but spiteful words like those?

They're harmless. Why?

Because I have friends now.

[guitar plays]

Come on, everybody, life's a lot more fun

when you're dancing to the music!

Hey, that's pretty catchy!

[MAN G] Yeah, he rocks!

[CROWD cheering]

I hope you all enjoy my rockin', rollin' new single!

"Bone to be Wild"!

[CROWD cheers]

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, near the giant bridge in the East Blue.

[BUNNY JOE] So, you want to come to Baltigo with us after all?

What made you change your mind?

[BUNNY JOE] Well, whatever the reason, we're glad you did.

Dragon's been eager to meet you for a long time.

If I'd known the revolutionaries were so nice,

I might have come knocking on your door years ago!

We're sorry about that!

We gave it our best, but you were hard to track down,

what with changing crews and all.

I'm teasing. Don't you worry.

In the end, everything worked out

and I don't have any regrets.

[BUNNY JOE gasps]

[REVOLUTIONARY B] Let's go!

Time to head out to Baltigo!

[ROBIN, SAUL laughing]

[ROBIN crying]

[SAUL] The sea's a vast place.

Someday you'll find friends who won't ever leave you!

[ROBIN panting]

[MAN K] Seventy-nine million Berries?

Why does an eight-year-old child have such a high bounty?

[MAN L] They said she's one of the devils of Ohara.

You know, those scholars who were plotting to end the world.

[MAN K] Really?

[MAN L] I heard she sank six Marine battleships, too.

She must have some kind of weird power.

[MAN K] Well, that explains the bounty.

[ROBIN grunting]

[MAN M] We can't let a child of the devil run wild!

[LUFFY] 'Kay! I'll be right over!

Why did you come to save me in the first place?

For the last time, I don't want you here!

[panting]

[ROBIN] Do you hear me?

I just want to die!

[LUFFY] If that's Robin's enemy, then I know what to do.

[LUFFY] Shoot down that flag.

[gasps] No way.

You're all going to die!

You morons can't challenge the entire world and expect to win!

Yeah? Bring it on!

[ROBIN crying]

Robin!

There's still something I want to hear you say!

Tell me you want to live!

[ROBIN] If I'm allowed to say my wish,

just this once...

[ROBIN] ...then I...

I want to live!

Take me with you! Take me away from here!

Please, Robin, come back inside.

You're going to catch cold out here.

[ROBIN] I'll stay here, thank you.

After all, I'm a pirate and you're Revolutionaries.

It's not wise to trust you yet.

I can't go into a cabin without any exits.

Robin! There's no reason any of us would ever want to hurt you!

It's all right. This is the way I did things

back when I was alone. Just let me stay.

Well, okay, if that's what you want.

All right!

Go get as many blankets as you can find!

And get her some food and something hot to drink,

make it snappy!

But, we already set things up inside!

Hurry up! And bring a sofa out here while you're at it!

Sir!

[ROBIN] Luffy, do you think I can get stronger

seeing the world through your father's eyes?

By walking in his footsteps, till we meet again?

[ROBIN] This is the first time I've wanted

to grow stronger for someone else.

It's not such a bad feeling.

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, on the Bowin Islands on the Grand Line.

[USOPP panting]

[HERACLES] What's gotten into you, Usopp'n?

[USOPP] Gotta turn all this fat into muscle!

[HERACLES] Oh, that's a good idea!

[USOPP] Gotta get strong!

[HERACLES] Because that's the only way

to get off this island'n?

[USOPP] Gotta get really strong!

[HERACLES] Yes, you mentioned that!

[USOPP] Gotta get really, really strong!

[HERACLES] Er, how strong, exactly?

[USOPP] Really, really, really, really,

really, really, really strong!

[HERACLES] You're quite serious, aren't you?

[USOPP panting]

[HERACLES] But why the sudden change?

[HERACLES] What did you see in that newspaper'n?

[USOPP panting]

[USOPP] Our captain sent us a message.

[HERACLES] Message'n?

[ZORO] What are you talkin' about?

Get on already!

[USOPP] Huh?

Come on, we're friends now, right?

[panting]

Luffy!

Usopp.

I didn't know you were here, too.

Finish him!

Then we can all leave this place together!

I'll win no matter what!

[USOPP] You know,

I never doubted him.

I just thought,

he could become King of the Pirates with or without me.

Of course he could!

We're finally here! We made it!

If we keep this up and sail around

the rest of the world, we'll come to this wall one more time.

And when we do... then I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

[USOPP] But I was wrong-- not because he's weak,

but because others are strong.

Even Luffy's not invincible.

And he can't do everything on his own!

So I have to get stronger,

to protect him and the rest of the crew!

[panting]

Dammit, Heracles! I need your help, okay?

Whatever it takes to improve myself, I'll do it!

[USOPP] Please, Master Heracles.

[HERACLES] Huh? M-Master'n?

That's right.

You have weapons, so teach me! You're obviously a good fighter

if you can survive on an island like this.

Tell me your secrets!

[HERACLES] You-- You really think I'm a good fighter'n?

Sure! I mean, you're amazing!

[HERACLES] It is I! Your Master'n! Heracles'n!

I know that, but awesome!

[HERACLES] Er, please have a seat, Usopp'n.

[USOPP] Yes, Master!

[HERACLES] Pay close attention, pupil'n!

This forest is full of plants called Pop Greens'n.

They're known for turning hostile as soon as they sprout,

which you've no doubt noticed.

Now these are their seeds'n.

What do you use them for?

[HERACLES] Many things.

They each have unique applications.

Whoa.

[USOPP] Hang in there, Luffy!

[HERACLES] Run, Usopp'n!

This forest is your training ground'n!

[USOPP] If it'll help you be King of the Pirates,

I'll become the Sniper King for real!

[USOPP yells]

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, on Gloom Island on the Grand Line--

the ruins of Muggy Kingdom.

[ZORO] Please!

Will you train me as a swordsman?

You disappoint me. Stand up.

I can't believe you would ask your enemy for instruction.

Have you no shame?

[MIHAWK] Get out of here. This is pathetic.

A pity, perhaps, but I overestimated your worth.

[ZORO grunts]

[MIHAWK] I said stand up.

You're making a fool of yourself.

Please help me!

First of all, the baboons beat you,

and after that, you couldn't even make it out to sea.

I can't help you. It's hopeless.

[ZORO] They didn't beat me.

[MIHAWK gasps]

[MIHAWK] What?

[ZORO] You're the only one left to take down.

But I'm just not good enough

to win against you the way I am now.

Anybody can see that!

I don't follow.

Clearly you still consider me your enemy,

yet here you are bowing down, begging for my help.

What do you mean to do?

Kill you, of course.

[grunts]

[laughs]

You admit you want to kill me,

and you expect me to assist you in that?

You're strange. What a ridiculous request!

Aren't you the least bit embarrassed? [chuckles]

Perhaps your priorities are different now, Roronoa?

[gasps]

You, the ghost woman. Go take care of his injuries.

[gasps] What?

Why on earth would I take orders from you?

[MIHAWK] We'll begin after you recover.

[gasps]

[PERONA groans] Mr. Fancy Pants,

treatin' me like some kind of maid!

Well, what're you waiting for?

Let's go, stupid!

[door opens]

[MIHAWK] He's a fool, but a man like that would not

throw away his pride for his own sake.

He must be thinking of someone else.

"3D" is crossed out, and "2Y" is under it?

You're right, I see!

It's like a tattoo on his arm!

A while back, the whole crew

promised we would meet up in a certain place in three days.

But we just couldn't.

So, let me guess-- "3D" means three days, right?

Then the "2Y" is probably, um...

[ZORO] Two years!

I knew that!

So, the meeting is going to be two years later. All right.

Means he pulled that stunt in Marineford

knowing it would get him in the newspaper.

That way he could make sure each of us got the message.

That was smart, especially for Luffy.

But none of us have what it takes

to survive in the New World.

That's why we have to train.

So, we'll all be stronger the next time we meet!

[PERONA] Hey, didn't I tell you to rest up?

[ZORO grunts]

No way!

[LUFFY] Heh. See ya!

You saved me.

Who the hell are you anyway?

My name's Monkey D. Luffy.

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

[ZORO] Until the day comes when I defeat him and take his title,

I swear that I will never lose!

Is that okay, King of the Pirates?

[chuckles] Uh-huh!

As long as I can still stand, I can train.

Let's get started.

Heh. There's one baboon you haven't beat yet.

They've mastered swordsmanship by observing humans.

They even organized by rank, all the way up to their master.

He's the leader of every baboon on this island.

[MASTER HUMANDRILL growls]

[ZORO] That sword...

He learned to fight by copying what I do.

He's not like the others. You should be cautious.

[ZORO] Sounds like fun.

[ZORO] You're nothing but a stepping stone, baboon!

[MASTER HUMANDRILL yelling]

[ZORO yells]

[STRAW HAT PIRATES] See you at Sabaody in two years!

[NARRATOR] Plotting a course for his future,

Luffy leaves Amazon Lily behind

and travels with Rayleigh to the deserted island of Ruskaina.

There he struggles to unlock an arsenal of new abilities

as he goes head-to-head against the giant creatures

that inhabit the island.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"Luffy's Training Begins! To the Place We Promised in 2 Years!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
