Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,

attained every treasure that the world had to offer.

Smiling, even as he stood upon the scaffold,

he issued a challenge to the world.

[GOLD ROGER] You want my treasure?

You can have it!

I left everything I gathered together in one place.

Now you just have to find it!

[NARRATOR] Now, those who dare to dream

hoist their flags and sail into the Great Pirate Era!

[NARRATOR] It's been two years

since the War of the Best in Marineford.

Scattered across the world,

Luffy and his crew underwent special training

to prepare for the trials ahead.

Now, they return to the Sabaody Archipelago

and move forward to next stage of their journey:

The New World.

[ROBIN] It's for a concert today.

He's calling himself "Soul King."

Yeah, there's a story behind that.

He didn't say anything about this to me,

but he's makin' a lot of people happy with his music.

He might not wanna be a pirate anymore.

[BOTH] Huh?

[FAKE SANJI] Look! It's that kid with the backpack!

Maybe our luck ain't so bad after all!

Oh, it's you guys.

[PIRATES chattering]

[MARINE C] Reporting from Grove 46.

All the new recruits the Straw Hats

picked up are gathering here, and from the looks of things,

I'd there might be nearly a hundred of them.

There are four captains here at least.

[LUFFY] "Big Guns Assembled!

The Danger of the Fake Straw Hats!"

[SOUL KING FANS cheering]

[cheering continues]

[BROOK] Thank you!

Thank you, everybody!

All right! The wall!

[SOUL KING FANS] Forty-five degrees!

Thank you for comin' out!

[BROOK] Now that is what I'm talking about.

[STAFF A] Nice work, sir.

[BROOK] Hell yeah!

[BROOK] Ahh... Like a rockstar, baby.

[BROOK] Sinkin' down to my bones.

[ringing]

This is Grove #46 with an update.

The pirates keep pouring in.

There's definitely over a hundred now.

None of the main Straw Hats are here yet,

but even so, I would approach with extreme caution.

[MARINE C gasps]

[MARINE C screams]

[MARINE A] Hey! What's wrong? Did they find you?

[MARINE C screams]

This is bad! Tell the backup they need to hurry!

Well now, what have we here?

Who is this little fellow whispering behind the rock?

Because he looks like a Navy soldier.

And my goodness, what is this?

You weren't looking to crash our harmless party, were you?

No! No! That's not very civil at all!

'Cause if you were calling your friends for backup,

that would not end well, seeing as they weren't invited.

Show some manners.

I saw him. He was calling.

No! I was going to call them, but I...

...I-I hadn't gotten through to them just yet.

That is good to hear.

And I say that for your sake, too.

[CARIBOU laughs]

Because if your friends did show up,

this grove would be covered in blood.

Their blood and your blood.

C'mon, Coribou. Back me up here.

Huh? I wasn't listening! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Who do you think you're bowing to, moron? I'm over here!

[CORIBOU yelps]

Please, forgive me.

You still can't get it right!

What, are you blind or just stupid?

[MARINE C] He's famous for killing Marines.

[gasps]

[laughing]

[MARINE C screams]

Aww. Do you think this is a joke?

He really stabbed that guy!

Then the stories are true.

[CARIBOU] Gods, have mercy!

He is but a fool! He grabbed his gun!

This poor, misguided soul tried to incite violence against me!

In your infinite kindness, please show him mercy!

[CORIBOU] Sorry, gods. Sorry. Very sorry. Sorry, gods.

[CARIBOU] Now, brother, bury him.

Bury this sinful transgressor alive.

Dig so that his poor soul may be free.

[CORIBOU] Roger!

Digging. Digging...

[MARINE C] Wait a second.

What if I call them and tell them not to come?

That would be good, right?

[FAKE LUFFY] That's enough, Caribou.

[CARIBOU] Huh?

[FAKE LUFFY] You can bury that nobody later.

We got bigger fish to fry right now.

[PIRATES cheering]

Just tell us what you want from us, Captain Luffy!

We're ready to go!

[FAKE LUFFY] Take a look around you, boys,

this is history in the making!

You probably don't know each other yet,

but you'll be tight as brothers soon enough.

From here on out, you're Straw Hats!

[PIRATES cheering]

[FAKE LUFFY] Not a bad deal.

And I swear, when I become King of the Pirates,

you're gonna know you made the right call!

[PIRATES cheering]

But I need a promise from ya first.

'Cause a real king needs loyal subjects,

ones that will live and die for him

and wait on him hand and foot!

[PIRATES cheering]

Anything you say!

You're the man who escaped Impel Down,

wrecked Enies Lobby, stormed Marineford,

and fought the Admirals!

You've got the World Government quaking in its boots!

Sailing the seas with you is like a dream come true!

Listen, there's only one man fit to be King of the Pirates

and he's standing right there!

You get with him, or you get left in the dust!

[PIRATES cheering]

[FAKE ZORO] Looks like the gang's all here.

[LUFFY] Is this it?

So where is everyone? Stop makin' me wait!

[PIRATES cheering, laughing]

All right, enough!

I didn't call you here to party, we got business to attend to.

Some jackasses out there haven't been showin' me

the respect I deserve.

That is to say, they insulted my honor!

A red-haired girl, a long-nosed guy,

and a brat with a backpack.

Find 'em and bring 'em to me!

The bastards are still on the archipelago somewhere!

[PIRATES yelling]

[PIRATE H] Consider it done, boss!

[PIRATE I] We'll make 'em suffer! You'll see!

I gotta say, though, people sure can change a lot in two years.

For one, you guys hardly talk at all anymore.

He's more dangerous than we thought.

We gotta get him to the boss pronto,

or he's gonna rat us out to everyone.

Who is this guy?

I dunno, but in the meantime,

let's try not to talk so he doesn't catch on.

The captain's right there, he can figure this out on his own!

Sounds like a plan.

I dunno what happened,

but it seems like you're gettin' along a lot better, too.

Yep. Time changes lots of stuff.

[BOTH sigh]

Like your faces, I mean.

Unless you're wearing a disguise like me.

Still not saying anything?

[SOUL KING FANS] Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore...

The Navy is here? So they know.

Very well, then.

Take it easy! No pushing!

One more song, Soul King! We're waiting for you!

I still need a moment more.

My fans are calling for an encore, you see,

and I can't let them down.

I think I owe them this much at least.

So please, wait up for me.

[SOUL KING FANS cheering]

Those cheers could bring a dead man back from his grave, baby.

Now listen, friends.

I'm afraid that I've got somethin' a bit heavy

to share with you today.

[SOUL KING FANS murmuring]

After this show, I...

[SOUL KING FANS chattering]

[MARINE B] This is the Navy! Nobody move!

What's the deal? That's not cool!

[MARINE B] This is last living member of the Rumbar Pirates,

the "Humming Swordsman" Brook,

presumed dead until now, with a bounty of 33 million.

Despite his skeletal state,

our reports indicate that Soul King is this pirate.

In addition to his previous crimes,

we have further information that indicates

he is now working for Straw Hat Luffy!

Soul King Brook,

or rather, Humming Swordsman Brook,

you're under arrest for piracy!

[SOUL KING FAN F] No, it can't be true!

I feel like my whole life is a lie.

[SOUL KING FAN M] He was a pirate all along?

[SOUL KING FAN N] But wait, Straw Hat Luffy's

been missing for years now.

[LONGARM BOSS] It's been a good run, Brook, but it's over.

Your betrayal's not exactly a surprise, Mr. Manager.

You're the one to blame,

telling me you were gonna retire right after the show.

How could you do this to me?

A pity, but it seems like I would've been better off

keeping you in that cage after all.

We were gonna be rich, but now our company's ruined.

You're nothing but a filthy traitor.

[LONGARM BOSS] If my life's going to hell,

I'm taking you with me.

[CHOPPER] That is so cool!

Heck yeah!

Can I get a body like that, too?

[CHOPPER] So, can you, like, transform and stuff?

Shoot beams? Missiles? Laser eyes?

Hurry! Show me! Show me!

[FRANKY] I carry the dreams of men

on my massive, metal shoulders!

[yells] I'm back and better than ever!

I'm not just me...

I'm armored me, baby!

[CHOPPER] Robot! Robot!

I know he's cool! But stop before you have a heart attack!

One thing's buggin' me, though.

Those giant robo-hands are great for bashing,

but how're you supposed to do detail work?

Never doubt the master.

Whoa! Dude!

He's got a hand in his hand!

[USOPP, CHOPPER yelling]

[NAMI] Robin!

[NAMI chuckles]

Nami! I love the hair!

Wow, he looks terrible. Did he do that to himself?

[ROBIN] Heh. It's Franky. Don't ask.

[gasps] Whoa, this must be the coating, huh?

Wanna see somethin' else cool? Press my nose.

Your nose?

Press and hold it, for three seconds or--

Apply pressure to the nasal region, human.

[CHOPPER] Holy crap, he's like a real robot!

[USOPP] Excited...

[CHOPPER] One. Two. Three.

[USOPP] Whoa! He grew hair!

[laughing]

Wait a sec. Can you style it?

Ahh. Easy as pie!

[laughs]

[CHOPPER laughs]

Hey! Look who it is! What's up?

Yeah, I see you.

Ugh. Like our crew didn't stick out enough already.

Can I see your new weapons, please? Can I?

[FRANKY grunting]

Sorry, buddy, that's the main event,

so we gotta wait till the captain shows up.

Mecha.

[CHOPPER] He made robot noises!

[USOPP] Is "mecha" his new catchphrase?

[CHOPPER, USOPP squealing]

[RAYLEIGH] Hello there!

Hey, Rayleigh! Hey, Shakky!

Sorry to interrupt your reunion, but we've kinda got an incident.

Actually, two very large incidents

that demand your attention.

Put the guitar down now!

Hands in the air, pirate! There's no escape!

[BROOK] Members of the band...

My lovely chorus...

This will be my final song.

Will you share it with me?

[guitar plays]

Have no fear.

My music has more than just soul, it has true power.

Are you insane?

You think anyone's gonna let you play another song?

[BROOK] You might not see it this way,

but I'm grateful for the time we spent together.

Thank you for these past two years,

and thank you for bringing me here.

My crew and I have rather tragic memories of this place.

We lost an important battle here last time,

but we're ready to start anew.

I'm the musician of the crew.

I may possess some strength as a swordsman,

but my job is to make our journey more fun.

I've heard the stories.

They think people are foolish enough to believe

that Straw Hat is dead.

Well, you listen to me. He's not.

Straw Hat Luffy is out there, alive and kickin'!

You can tell the world!

And while you're at it, tell them he's going to be

the King of the Pirates someday, too!

Boy, have I got some news for you guys.

We better print this one in a jiffy!

Yeah, baby, he's comin' back soon,

and when he sets sail, I wanna send him off Soul King style!

[SOUL KING FANS gasp]

That's so cool!

[BROOK] Do you love me down to my bones?

[SOUL KING FANS] Yeah!

[BROOK] I'll dedicate this to my crew.

To my friends.

My soul will sing to you one last time! Yeah!

[BROOk] Luffy, let's go to the New World. Together.

The show is over! I said you're under arres--

Would you shut up?!

It's his last song! Let us hear it!

Please, what harm could it do?

[SOUL KING FAN J] She's right!

You can wait till the show is over, you bastards!

[BROOK] Music is power. Music is always on your side.

[BROOK] One, two, three, four.

[SOUL KING FANS cheering]

I call this one "New World"!

[SOUL KING FANS cheering]

[BROOK] Oh, yeah! Take it home now!

[SOUL KING FANS gasping, chattering]

[BAND coughing]

What the--? Huh?

[BROOK laughing]

Uh! Buncha fools!

Why did you have to get all sentimental like that?

Now we can't cash in on his bounty!

[NAMI] The Navy?

[SHAKKY] That's right.

They thought those Fake Straw Hats were the real deal

and mobilized their forces.

Pacifistas, too.

I have them wiretapped, so there's no mistaking it.

Anyway, Brook is finishing up his concert,

but I gave him a call backstage

to let him know what was going on.

He said he'd come after the encore, so it shouldn't be long.

Oh, yeah? Givin' up stardom to be a lowly pirate?

Goes without sayin', but the man's got a backbone.

All right, Nami, since you're the navigator,

there are a few tricks to operating a coated ship

I should pass on to you.

Uh. Okay. Sure, let's hear it!

We aren't getting ready to take off, are we?

We're still missing half the crew here!

I mean, did Luffy even make it to the archipelago yet?

It's all under control!

[FAKE SANJI] Captain!

Huh? I'm kind of in the middle of something, you goons!

But we found the backpack guy you was lookin' for.

That's good, right?

He's a "friend of the crew," if you follow.

Say hi.

[RAYLEIGH] In other words,

Luffy arrived earlier this morning.

[laughs]

It's almost time to go!

I gave Sanji a baby Transponder Snail when he stopped by,

so I'll tell him to come back.

He should have Zoro with him, too.

Good.

We should hurry, because any moment now,

the Navy will be attacking with a sizable force.

Unfortunately, there's no way to contact your captain.

But if you follow this Vivre card,

you should be able to hunt him down.

Let's hope the fake Straw Hats buy you a bit of time.

[RAYLEIGH] Grove 42 is on the outskirts,

so it's close to the sea.

Take the Sunny there and be ready to depart

on a moment's notice.

I'm sure you'd like to relax after these two difficult years,

but it wasn't meant to be.

The winds of the New World wait for no one.

[NARRATOR] The Straw Hats are assembled on the Sunny

and ready to depart, but their captain is still missing.

As a battle breaks out between the fake Straw Hats

and the Navy, Luffy is drawn into the chaos.

Unable to keep a low profile any longer,

he shows the world the strength he acquired

in his two years of absence.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Battle Is On! Show Them What You Got From Training!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
