[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,

set 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] Encouraged by Dark King Rayleigh,

Luffy overcame his sorrow

and returned to the site of his brother's death.

While there, he both paid respects

and delivered a secret message to his crew.

One by one, they received it through the newspaper.

Normally, Luffy wouldn't do something like this.

There's gotta be a catch here.

[CHOPPER] I got it, Luffy! Don't worry!

A change of plans, then! Yeah, okay, okay!

So that's it. Very well, then.

Roger that, Captain!

Yes, Luffy! Yes!

[crying]

[NAMI] But honestly, Luffy.

How 'bout how I feel, huh? You're so selfish!

I gotcha, boss.

Ah-hah. How very clever of you!

No need to worry, Luffy.

[STRAW HATS] See you at Sabaody in two years!

[LUFFY] "Luffy's Training Begins!

To the Place We Promised in Two Years!"

[JIMBEI] There he is.

Hey, Jimbei! Thank you for everything!

No, Luffy.

Please, it is I who should be thanking you!

When we met at Impel Down, I begged you.

I said I would put my life on the line for Ace.

And yet, your brother died, while I still live.

Please forgive me!

You did all you could've done. Don't beat yourself up.

If it weren't for your help, I probably wouldn't have made it

into Marineford in the first place.

You can be proud.

You're right as always.

And who can say,

one day there may still be something I can do

to help you on your journey.

Until then, see you on Fishman Island in two years!

Be sure to bring your entire crew along.

I look forward to meeting everyone!

[LUFFY] You got it!

Take care, Jimbei!

[HANCOCK] Luffy, I'm so glad that you're back

to your old self.

A twinkle in your eye, that smile--

charming, confident, and carefree!

Just seeing your face has put my heart aflutter!

I'm weak in the knees!

My goodness, I could almost die!

I'm dizzy.

Hey, Hancock, you okay?

[gasps]

[clears throat]

Yes. Yes, of course I am.

Pardon my manners, but could you take us to the island now?

I'd like to begin Luffy's training as soon as possible.

[HANCOCK] Y-Yes, certainly!

Kuja! Set sail for Ruskaina!

[AMAZONS] Aye-aye, Snake Princess!

[RAYLEIGH] This island will be perfect.

It has 48 seasons a year,

so you'll constantly have to adapt to the harsh conditions.

[LUFFY] Whoa. Sounds neat!

[LUFFY chuckles]

Oh, Luffy?

While you're here, I'll be sure to bring you

the most delicious food from Amazon Lily every day.

Doesn't that sound nice?

Yeah! Thanks, Hancock! You rock!

Let's see, could you start off with

that specialty gorgon-somethin' or other?

That stuff's really good!

Wh-Why, yes, of course!

[AMAZONS] Yay! That's our princess!

I'll bring anything you desire. And as much of it as you want!

Oh, my.

I do believe he's uttered my name at least ten times now.

[sighs]

That must mean we're engaged!

[NYON] No, it doesn't!

And didn't you say a little while ago

that you were married?

Foolish girl doesn't even know the proper order of things.

No, Hancock. Sorry, but I just can't have you spoiling him.

His sole purpose here is to train.

He can't let distractions get in the way.

[HANCOCK] What?

Huh?

You have got some nerve, old man!

Luffy has the right to decide that! You got it?

And be careful how you respond.

I can turn you to stone!

There are plenty of things to eat here.

Luffy needs to hunt for himself. That's part of the training.

[NYON] You'll ruin his nyose, Snake Princess!

If he can't get by with roughing it for a while,

then maybe he shouldn't be a pirate.

This is all for Luffy's benefit!

Luffy. Then, this will help him become stronger?

Yes, it will.

If this is all for Luffy...

...I'll be patient!

[grumbles]

[HANCOCK] But, Rayleigh, this island is truly dangerous!

If anything should happen to him--

[RAYLEIGH] That's why it's an ideal place to train him.

If you're that worried, make a wish on a star.

Are you ready, Luffy?

Sure am!

[chuckling]

Goodbye, Luffy! It's been fun! Don't get killed, okay?!

Bye!

[HANCOCK] Luffy, take care of yourself.

[LUFFY laughing]

[RAYLEIGH] You'd better remember this tree.

[LUFFY] Hm?

[RAYLEIGH] Even the most savage beasts stay away from it.

It's the only safe area on this island.

[LUFFY] I don't think I'll forget it.

It's pretty funny lookin'.

[LUFFY laughs]

And another thing to note.

You may have guessed,

but we're the only humans on the entire island.

Behold the vast wilderness.

Supposedly there was a country here a long time ago.

But as you can see, the humans lost the struggle for survival.

The land is rough and nature relentless.

[gasps]

[laughs]

This place smells like adventure!

[LUFFY laughing]

[creatures roaring]

The island is crawling with vicious creatures.

Far too many to be counted.

Now, by my estimation, there's about 500 animals

you don't stand a chance of defeating yet.

Unless you become stronger,

you might even get killed in your sleep.

How do you know so much about this place?

Did you used to live here?

Yes, as you will.

And you'll obtain the same power I did then.

[LUFFY] Huh?

[RAYLEIGH] The power known as Haki.

Haki?

[MAMMOTH A roars]

Hey, watch out! There's a... a huge thing behind you!

What are you doing? Don't just stand there!

[RAYLEIGH] Listen to me, Luffy.

Believe it or not, Haki is a latent power

that everyone has within themselves.

Wow. I think it's a giant elephant!

Like, five times the normal size!

[RAYLEIGH] Observation, fighting spirit, intimidation.

Haki is really no different from any combative instincts

normal humans have.

[RAYLEIGH] However, most of them live their lives

without tapping into their true potential,

because they don't have a teacher like you do now.

You mustn't have any self-doubt.

Only then will you become stronger.

[roars]

Run away!

Time for... Second Gear!

Jet Pistol!

[gasps]

Damn it. This guy's no joke!

He's super fast for as big as he is!

[yells]

[roars]

Now watch very carefully.

There are two prominent types of Haki used in battle.

[LUFFY] Get outta there!

[RAYLEIGH] Don't worry.

The elephant will try to hit me with its trunk

coming in from the right side.

[gasps]

First is the power to feel the presence

of others more strongly.

This is known as Observation Haki.

No way.

[RAYLEIGH] If you enhance this power,

you can even tell where unseen enemies are located.

You can determine how many there are,

and predict what their next moves will be.

Really?

That left kick won't work.

[LUFFY gasps]

Mantra.

On Skypiea, it has a different name.

There it's called Mantra.

Huh?

Uh! Damn it!

[RAYLEIGH] Next, the Armament Haki.

Think of it as covering yourself in invisible armor.

[MAMMOTH A roaring]

Rayleigh, no!

[chuckles]

That move, I've seen it before.

Ashigara Dokkoi... Shove!

[MAMMOTH A groaning]

[RAYLEIGH] Armor that's hard enough

can even be used as a weapon.

Huh?

Hey!

I shouldn't be able to feel that! I'm made outta rubber!

Consider it another benefit of knowing how to use this Haki.

Unless they have a specific weak point,

those with Devil Fruit powers are hard to hit.

Armament Haki provides the only other effective countermeasure

against such enemies.

[gasps]

Take those with Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Their body composition makes them seem impossible to touch.

But Armament Haki has the power to strike them.

Ah. So that's how you were able to hit Kizaru.

Interesting!

With that kinda Haki,

I'd be able punch Smokey or Aokiji or anybody!

[RAYLEIGH] You can also transfer Armament Haki to a weapon.

Have you ever seen the Kuja Pirates' arrows?

I have.

It was like they were made out of steel.

Observation and Armament.

They're the main two types of Haki.

However, there are some people in this world

who can use another type of Haki.

[roars]

[RAYLEIGH] Watch closely.

[LUFFY gasps]

[gasps]

The power to intimidate your enemies into submission.

This is Conqueror's Haki.

[RAYLEIGH] The most well-known legends of the Grand Line,

they often have the rare Conqueror's Haki

at their disposal.

However, although you can control the Conqueror's Haki,

unlike the other types, there's no way

to train yourself to use it.

The Conqueror's Haki embodies the spirit of the owner himself.

Strengthen your spirit, and you strengthen its power.

Hey! That's what you did at the auction house.

Everybody just passed out!

Ah. So you already know what it is.

Then again, that's not very surprising.

You have the power as well.

[gasps]

[LUFFY] Don't you dare!

Here's a tip, don't use Conqueror's Haki

until you can handle it, as in fully control it.

Or otherwise, you'll end up overwhelming innocent people

who get caught in the action.

Huh? What's the matter?

Amazing!

No wonder you were his first mate.

You can knock out half your enemies

without even laying a finger on 'em!

[laughs]

I guess I was tougher than you thought!

Actually, wait.

I just realized, I've seen all sorts of people use Haki.

There's Shanks, Grandpa, Eneru, Aisa, and Hancock,

plus her sisters and all the Kuja warriors!

This is true.

But still, learning how to use Haki is no easy task.

Usually, we'd need a lot more time to train right.

But thankfully, you're qualified.

Here's how it'll work. Start with the basics.

In two years' time, I'll teach you how to use all three types,

even Conqueror's Haki.

Most users, tend to focus on one type.

Or rather, they play to their strengths,

if they don't have the talent to master every single art.

That's fine for them, but I think you'll want to aim

much higher than that.

And if you can develop all three,

you'll have so much more at your disposal.

[LUFFY] Uh-huh. Sounds like fun!

[RAYLEIGH] Well, then.

I'm now officially your trainer.

Don't think for a second I'll go easy on you!

Yeah? Give me everything you've got!

Huh.

[RAYLEIGH] All right, let's begin.

[LUFFY] Oh! Just one last thing.

[RAYLEIGH] Huh?

[LUFFY] If I remember right,

the old man said this tree is the only safe place.

For two years, I'll disappear from the world

and hang up my hat here.

[SABO] Ace, Luffy, listen.

The three of us, we're gonna leave this country.

We're gonna sail the seas, and see the world.

And we're gonna have lots of adventures.

We'll be pirates!

[chuckles]

[ACE] I'll be so tough that all the other pirates

and all the Marines will bow at my feet!

Everyone in the whole world will know my name!

That's gonna be the legacy I leave behind when I die!

[chuckles]

[LUFFY] Then I know what I'm gonna be, too!

The King of the Pirates!

[BOTH] Uh.

[laughing]

[LUFFY] Oh, almost forgot.

The Vivre card.

[LUFFY] Everybody.

Luffy.

Luffy.

Luffy!

Luffy.

Hey, Luffy!

Luffy.

Luffy!

Oh, hey, Luffy!

[STRAW HATS] Luffy!

[laughs]

[RAYLEIGH] C'mon, Luffy, hurry it up!

Let's get started!

[LUFFY] Be right there!

'Kay, Old Man. Let's do it!

[RAYLEIGH] Hm.

First off, don't call me old man.

Call me "Sir Rayleigh."

Or how about "Professor Rayleigh"?

Maybe "Master Rayleigh."

[LUFFY] Gotcha! Thanks, Old Man Rayleigh!

[RAYLEIGH] Ugh. Fine.

Hey, Zoro! And Usopp!

Sanji and Nami!

Chopper! Robin! Franky! Brook!

And Ace and Sabo!

[LUFFY laughs]

I'm making you guys another promise.

I'll get stronger no matter what it takes!

[NARRATOR] Two years after the War of the Best,

the Straw Crew finally returns to Sabaody.

However, the archipelago has changed

and with dangerous pirates lurking around in droves,

their departure to the New World may not go

as smoothly as they hoped.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Beginning of the New Chapter!

The Straw Hats Reunited!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
