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] All pirates searching for the treasure One Piece,

must brave the second half of the Grand Line.

These wild and dangerous seas are known as the New World.

Gold Roger and his crew were the only men

to ever chart these waters

and learn all the secrets they held.

For the rest of the pirates in the world,

this has proven to be the end of road.

A graveyard of dreams.

[NARRATOR] Now, Monkey D. Luffy,

a boy whose body became rubber after eating

the Gum-Gum Fruit, sets sail into the New World

with his faithful crew.

I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!

[NARRATOR] In the two years that have passed

since the War of the Best in Marineford

the Straw Hat Pirates underwent special training before

returning to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Now, in order to progress to the New World,

Luffy and his crew have arrived at Fishman Island,

thousands of feet below sea level.

However, they were attacked by the New Fishman Pirates,

causing them to become separated yet again.

[NARRATOR] In this time of need, mermaids managed to rescue

some of the crew and bring them safely to Camie's home.

[ISHILLY screams] No! What did I do?

We don't have time! Guys, this is serious!

Please, I'm begging you! Whatever it takes!

I can't let my friend die!

[LUFFY] "The Fishman Island Will Be Annihilated?!

Sharley's Prophecy!"

[LUFFY] We need help! My friend is dying!

Can anyone give him blood?

Human or fishman! S RH negative is his type!

He doesn't have much time! Please, we're begging you!

[GROUP] Help him!

[FISHMEN, MERFOLK murmuring]

Poor thing. I'm sorry.

This is a bad place for a human to get a blood transfusion.

But, I'm sure Luffy-chin and your friends

will figure something out!

[LUFFY panting]

Damn it!

No matter who we ask, there isn't anyone here

who'll give him blood! C'mon!

[USOPP] I refuse to give up! Sanji's counting on us!

There's gotta be somebody!

All right! Luffy!

I found some humans here!

[MERMAIDS giggling]

Hey, that barrel over there is the one that drifted

in with all Camie's friends, right?

What's in it? Maybe treasure?

Uh... I don't know.

It's sealed pretty tightly, so it's gotta be important.

Yeah? I think we should open it.

Me, too. What if it needs to go in the fridge?

Good point.

Wow. Talk about well-prepared.

Way to go!

[MERMAIDS laugh]

[SANJI grunting]

Hey, Sanji! Are you awake?

Talk to us.

Where am I?

[CHOPPER sighs] You pulled through!

We're safe in a town right by the harbor.

I was scared.

You almost lost all the blood in your body.

I was starting to think

we'd never find you a donor. That was a real close call.

That so? Wow.

What in the hell happened to me?

[CAMIE] You shouldn't be sitting up so quickly!

You need to rest!

I just don't get it.

I mean, the fish could've given blood.

But, no, instead we had to run all over town

looking for another human, which took forever!

I know. Right?

I was starting to lose hope there.

[SANJI] I'm sorry.

I appreciate what you did, though.

But, I just don't remember much.

Why'd this happen?

Where was I, and what was I doing?

When I think about it, it's all a big blur.

[GROUP gasps]

--[LUFFY yells] --[USOPP] No!

[BOTH] Let it go already!

If you try to force the memories, you could relapse!

Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, Sanji.

You haven't met your donors.

So here. Say, "hi." And also "thank you."

Wait.

Could my savior have been a dainty girl?

[VOICE 529A laughs] Don't worry. We're only human.

After all, if we don't look out for each other, who will?

Don't worry, babe.

If you want...

[BOTH] ...we can give you more!

[SANJI screams]

[laughs] Looks like he's back to his old self!

[gasps]

[USOPP] That's not exactly gratitude.

Luffy.

Can I see the cut on your arm for a second, please?

[LUFFY] Uh?

It's positive. Thought so.

Luffy. That wound's poisonous!

Oh, wow. Really?

That musta been the sting I felt earlier.

One of the fishmen got me.

[USOPP] You don't seem poisoned.

You feeling okay?

Yeah!

[CHOPPER] Either way, we should be careful.

This stuff's probably deadly. You sure you're all right?

[LUFFY] Yup.

Wow. So weird.

It sounds crazy, but you must have somehow developed

an antibody to fight against this kind of stuff.

Tell me.

Have you ever experienced a poisoning like this in the past?

Let's see...

[LUFFY] Yeah, back when I was at Impel Down,

I almost got killed that way.

[laughs]

That is not funny! At all.

Yeah! It is!

I bet it was that octopus swordsman.

I mean, he blocked my punch. So he's gotta be strong.

No prob. Next time, I'll be ready.

[MERMAIDS scream]

Huh?

They're so loud.

I think that came from by that cove.

Don't care. I've got bigger problems.

These guys are messed up real bad.

And what's worse, Straw Hat got poisoned, too.

I'm dead if he dies. [hiccups]

I'm positive I heard their screams come from here.

Ishilly!

[SORA, KAIREN] Where are you?

[SEIRA] This is where I saw them last.

But where in the world could they have gone?

[ADELE] Did anyone else hear them say something

about opening up a barrel?

[CAMIE] Hey, Luffy-chin, Usopp-chin, come here.

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

[LUFFY, USOPP] Huh?

She's the owner of this place.

--She okayed Sanji resting here. --[LUFFY] Look at this thing!

The Madam Sharley.

[LUFFY] Cool, thanks and stuff.

[SHARLEY chuckles] Has the blond boy's condition improved at all?

[CAMIE] Yup!

But it's best he doesn't meet you because you're so beautiful.

Right? That would be bad.

Also, we probably shouldn't tell him

he's in the back of the Mermaid Café.

Not if we want him to get well.

[SHARLEY] Why keep it a secret?

'Cause doctor's orders!

Chopper's pretty sure that if Sanji-chin finds out,

he's gonna have a bad relapse.

What a strange prognosis.

[LUFFY] Hey, big lady. Fish lady!

Wow. That was rude. Come on.

Tell me what this is!

It's beautiful!

[SHARLEY] It's also not on the list of things

you're allowed to touch.

Oh, that?

You're looking at Madam Sharley's crystal ball.

With it, she can see the future.

Her precognitive visions are why she's famous.

Well, it used to be. Not anymore.

[gasps]

The future isn't ours to know. Right?

Sounds rough.

Oh, by the way, how do mermaids take a dump?

We are not talking about mermaid poop again!

Don't you have any class?

Guys, apologize! Quickly!

[BOTH] Sorry.

[SHARLEY] Why don't you take the rest of the day off, Camie.

I think your friends would appreciate a tour of the island.

Really? You sure?

[SHARLEY] It's fine.

You deserve it, seeing as you're always working so hard.

Besides, business has been slow

with human guests so uncommon these days.

So we have to be extra good hosts.

The girls from the cove should show up soon.

Then we'll have more hands around here than a starfish.

"More than... starfish?" Oh, that's right! Crap!

I should have already delivered Pappagu's clams by now!

Wow. I have no idea what's going on.

I bet he's getting mad waiting for his food.

Not quite. He's enjoying the café.

An old friend of his suddenly came into town,

and they've been living it up since he arrived.

Wait, he's here?

[BOTH] Well, that makes things easy.

[CAMIE] I didn't wanna bring this up in front of her,

but Madam told me a lot of stories

from when she was little.

She said, in those days,

human pirates came to the island all the time.

But that was quite a while ago.

About a year before the Great Pirate Era began.

[BOTH yelp]

[CAMIE] It's hard for her to talk about things sometimes.

Especially when she foresees bad stuff,

like the war at Marineford and Whitebeard's death.

[LUFFY, USOPP] What?!

[CAMIE] Can you imagine knowing something horrible will happen

that you can't stop?

[USOPP] That must be terrifying!

[LUFFY] Hey, where's Chopper?

[USOPP] Oh, he said he was gonna hang out here

and look after Sanji.

[CAMIE] C'mon, you two! Hurry up!

[USOPP, LUFFY] 'Kay!

Right now, we're on what's considered

Coral Hill's main street.

And that is the primary entrance to the Mermaid Café.

[USOPP, LUFFY laugh]

Man! Thought I was gonna starve to death!

They might only serve snacks.

No. You're good.

We've got cakes and sea fruit, too.

[LUFFY] And meat?

Uh, no.

We merfolk don't really eat meat and fish.

But we have Wakame Brûlée, Mozuku Tarts, Kelp Soufflé...

You call that food?

Wait! We do have some meat!

From shellfish!

Scallop Sandwiches, Clam Pizza, and--

Those give meat a bad name!

Stop! Talking!

Whoa. Okay. Be cool.

Let's just go inside.

Yeah. Let's all go find Pappagu.

Shellfish! What the hell kind of crap is that?

[MERMAIDS] Thank you very much!

[PAPPAGU] Yeah!

[GROUP gasps]

[BROOK] Time to give the dogfish a bone!

Gotta love the fans, huh?

[BROOK laughs]

[BOTH] Oh, wow, it's Brook!

Hooray!

Huh? Luffy and Usopp!

And Camie, you've become such a lovely young lady.

Now, may I please see your panties.

Mermaids don't wear those!

Hey, guys!

You have no idea how much I've missed you!

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

Hey, Pappagu! Sorry it's been so long!

I guess that makes you Pappagu's "old friend" we heard about.

Yes. Though, I wish the reunion had better circumstances.

'Cause without him, I'd be sunk!

[laughs]

[PAPPAGU] Don't let the laugh fool you--

he means that literally.

There I was, hard at work by the cove,

finalizing a design idea I had, when all of a sudden,

a pile of bones went drifting by on a log!

Huh?

[PAPPAGU screams] Bone Daddy!

[BROOK laughs]

Come see us again! 'Kay?

I had a great time, Soul King!

[laughs] I'll be back, lovely ladies!

Lots of bones to go around!

What?!

I've gone limp!

[BROOK yelps]

No I haven't. Ha! Skeletons are always rigid!

Ah, good thing I'm already dead,

or I would probably die of embarrassment right now!

[MERMAIDS] Oh, you!

This café has really put Brook in rare form.

Yeah, whatever's goin' on inside must be awesome!

Hold up there, boss!

[LUFFY, USOPP] Huh?

[PAPPAGU] What're ya in such a hurry for?

I know you're interested in the café, and I get that,

but it's not like it's going anywhere.

Let's come back when you have your whole crew.

Bone-Daddy and I were just about to head back to my place.

Why don't you guys come with us?

If you do, you can eat all the sea king meat you want!

Did you say "meat?"

Yeah, I did! I'm a wild animal! Ya feel me?

It's not like I eat boring shellfish.

I need food with a little more bite.

Sea monster exclusive diet!

Oh! By the way,

I brought your order of clams!

Sweet! My favorite treat is finally here!

[USOPP] Ha! So much for your diet!

Oh, man!

[SANJI groans]

Beautiful Mermaid.

[BLOND DONOR] Yes?

[yells]

Lovely Mermaids. So sweet!

[BOTH] You okay, hun?

[screams]

This sucks. Hope they're having better luck.

Look, Merfolk are the only ones who don't eat meat.

Fishmen eat the stuff all the time!

So it's not like you can't get it here,

it's just not as common.

[LUFFY] Yes! That's great!

[PAPPAGU] Man, it's about time one of them showed up.

Hey, taxi!

Hey. Wait a minute!

[gasps] Vander Decken! Thought so!

But why is there a wanted poster for a ghost?

[USOPP] Yeah!

Wasn't this guy on the haunted ship we saw?

You saw him? For real?

[BROOK] Uh-huh.

No way! Whoa!

Our nation's been looking for him for years now!

The dude's a pirate and a no-good undersea thief.

I'll tell you all about it on the trip.

Let's load up and go!

Story goes, Vander Decken was hard up.

The guy was totally head-over-heels

for the Mermaid Princess of the Ryugu Kingdom.

He was so desperate, he sent love letters daily.

Stalkery, y'know?

Gave up letters. Started sending gifts instead. Then threats.

--Wanted to marry her. --[BOTH] ...so soft and fluffy!

Feels great!

And springy! Bouncy! Bouncy!

[PAPPAGU] Are you even listening to me?

[USOPP, LUFFY] Sure!

Sorry about that.

Ahem. Because his advances started to become so violent,

the Mermaid Princess got scared.

And so of course, the stalker became a national concern!

Yeah! But that was just the beginning!

Her father, King Neptune, got mad,

which led to him sending the three princes you saw earlier

off to hunt Vander Decken.

But even with the army, they can't find him.

Oh, c'mon, Camie. You stole all my thunder.

By the way! King Neptune's the God of the Sea!

Plus he's in control of this country.

If that's not enough responsibility,

he has four children to take care of!

The Mermaid Princess is the youngest,

so, obviously, the three princes are the older kids

in the royal family.

Please. I got this.

Great. But, something still doesn't make sense.

[LUFFY] What's goin' on down there?

If he isn't a ghost, I imagine he's a few hundred years old.

At least!

[PAPPAGU] Huh. You're right,

that doesn't make sense.

That is, unless, you ignore the rumors.

Now there's no denying that he existed.

But the truth of the matter is that the legendary sea captain

Vander Decken died sometime after he arrived here

on Fishman Island and hasn't been heard from since.

That said, the ship you say you saw

probably was the Flying Dutchman, but...

It's his descendant who's on board!

He's--!

He's Vander Decken the Ninth!

Wow! That's a lot!

Well, I have to say,

it's a relief to find out he's not a ghost after all.

Believing we had come into contact with someone

from the afterlife was making me contemplate my own mortality.

And considering I'm a skeleton, I don't have much of that left.

I just wanted to tell an exciting story.

Man. I thought Merfolk and Fishmen

all looked the same, but the more I see, the less they do.

[USOPP] Check out those old ones down there!

Their fins are split like Granny Kokoro!

See those babies? Right there.

[LUFFY, USOPP] Huh?

[PAPPAGU] You'll notice the father is a Fishman,

but the children are a mix of both species.

That's because when a Mermaid and a Fishman

love each other very much and decide to get busy,

their kids can come out looking like either parent.

Bam. Four possibilities for the happy family.

Oh. That's why they all look different.

So cool!

All right, we finally made it to the highway!

[LUFFY] Whoa! This is fast! What's up with that place?

[PAPPAGU] Oh. Nothing, it's a candy factory.

[LUFFY] Really?

Then why's there a pirate flag on it?

Oh, that? That flag's everywhere here.

By the entrance and the harbor. It's a big deal!

And for good reason at that.

It symbolizes that we're protected.

Y'see, the flag belongs to a famous pirate

named Charlotte Linlin of the New World.

But she's better known as Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors!

Whoa. That's no joke.

Ah. Back before the War in Marineford,

Whitebeard was this island's guardian,

but now that he's dead, someone else had to take his place.

And that someone happened to be her.

Okay.

[PAPPAGU] The thing is, she demands a whole ton of candy

in exchange for her services.

Hence the factory that you just saw.

That's weird.

This country wouldn't be able to survive

without the protection of powerful people like her.

After all, this is a dangerous place where pirates come and go,

and more often than not, they aren't very friendly.

Yeah, I guess.

Plus, she's filling in where Whitebeard left off,

so that's gotta mean she's a good person, doesn't it?

[PAPPAGU] Depends on how you look at it.

Whitebeard never asked for anything

in return for his protection.

Big Mom, on the other hand,

treats it like a business rather than a charity.

Still. That's cool.

An Emperor. Like Shanks! Crazy!

Hope I get to meet her.

Eyes forward!

This is where all the celebrity-types live:

Fishverly Hills!

[CAMIE] That tall building right in front is Pappagu's house,

where we're going!

[GROUP] All that for one starfish?

[SHARLEY screams]

We have to do something!

We can't let this happen!

That's Madam Sharley from the café.

What's the matter? Please. Please tell us.

What's wrong? Why are you upset?

Something must be done. Now, before it's too late!

Uh. Sure. What do we do?

[SHARLEY panting]

[SHARLEY] Find him! The pirate boy in a straw hat!

It's an emergency!

He must leave the country!

Now! There's no time!

Wait. You're having a premonition?

I swore I wouldn't use this power.

But something about that boy felt off to me.

I... I had no choice but to look into the future!

What's going to happen? Tell us! What did you see?

[MERMAID 529A] We have to know!

Sharley! Tell us!

[FISHMAN 529AA] Madam!

[FISHMAN 529BB] Please!

I hope I'm wrong, and that it won't happen!

[gasps]

[SHARLEY] I saw him clearly, surrounded by flames.

Because of Straw Hat Luffy,

Fishman Island, our country will be...

[SHARLEY] ...destroyed!

[NARRATOR] Beneath its dazzling exterior,

Fishman Island hides a dark history.

Harboring an age-old grudge,

the residents of the island prepare to take action.

Meanwhile, Luffy and friends cause a commotion

at Pappagu's shop, and have an unexpected encounter

with Neptune, King of Fishman Island.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The King of the Fishman Island! Neptune, the God of the Sea!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
