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.

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] Two years have passed

since the War of the Best in Marineford.

Reuniting after their special training,

Luffy and his crew continue on to the New World.

The first stop is Fishman Island, thousands of feet

below sea level, where trouble finds them quickly.

[SHARLEY] The pirate boy in a straw hat!

It's an emergency!

He must leave the country!

Now, before we run out of time!

[gasps]

[SHARLEY] I saw him clearly surrounded by flames.

Because of Straw Hat Luffy,

Fishman Island, our country will be...

...destroyed!

[LUFFY "The King of the Fishman Island!

Neptune, the God of the Sea!"

--[footsteps] --[GYRO panting]

[GYRO] Hurry up! We hafta move!

Come on, but quietly!

We can't let them know!

We're all dead if they notice.

It's our only chance. Get on the ship and grab an oar!

We either get out of here today, or we die trying!

[PIRATE 530AA] C'mon faster!

They'll be on top of us in minutes!

[GYRO] We'll never go back to Fishman Island.

Don't let up till we cross the Red Line!

Damn it! I never got to visit the Mermaid Café!

[PIRATE 530B] I never got to either!

It's such a waste!

[GYRO] Will you idiots get over it already?

Just shut up and keep rowing!

This whole thing is a disaster.

I thought we had it made after we got past the sleeping kraken,

then they ambushed us.

At 10,000 meters below and with so many sea monsters

at their disposal, there was no way to defend ourselves!

They told us we could join the New Fishman Pirates,

or we could die.

As if they were really giving us a choice at all.

Who wouldn't pick life over death?

It's absurd!

I mean, each and every one of us is human.

Why would they want us in their ranks anyway?

[PIRATE 530B] Goodbye, Mermaid Café!

Goodbye!

[PIRATES sobbing]

[GYRO] I told you all to get over it!

We're lucky to even be alive right now!

Really? They escaped?

I'm afraid so, boss.

My back was turned, and they got away.

[DOSUN] Humans are always runnin for it.

You'd think they woulda learned by now.

[ZEO] Heh. Cowardice is in their nature.

[DARUMA] You shoulda let me chew on them when I offered!

Caw, caw, caw!

[chuckles] Ugh, what a pain in the ass.

[laughs] No, it's good.

See, now we can use 'em as examples.

[chuckles] Then I'll go and drag 'em back

so you can teach 'em their lesson.

[HORDY] Not this time, you won't. Stay here.

Uh, if you say so, boss.

I'll go myself.

[DARUMA] Huh?

[HORDY] You heard me. Get the bubble ready.

Boss! You can't take that much power drug at once!

It's dangerous!

[HORDY sighs]

[HORDY grunting]

[screams]

[laughs]

[PAPPAGU] Ah. Home sweet home!

All right! Shall we go in?

Hah!

[laughs] It's huge!

[PAPPAGU STAFF] Welcome home, master!

Can we get you anything?

[PAPPAGU] Heh, heh!

[FANGIRL MERMAID 530A] Oh, my gosh! Monsieur Pappagu!

[FANGIRL FISHWOMAN 530A] As in the super famous designer?

[FANGIRL MERMAID 530B] I thought he'd be taller.

Man. Being famous must be a pain.

[PAPPAGU chuckles]

What are ya talkin' about? I live for this kind of attention!

When I'm in the water,

I'm what you'd call...

...a fashionable starfish.

But on Fishman Island,

I'm so much more than that.

Seeing as I'm the president and lead designer

for Criminal Brand clothes!

The products we make are coveted throughout the world!

No country is off limits for our store chains!

Even Doskoi Panda is--

Whoa! What's that?

There's tons of people!

Hey! Are you listening? Come on!

And the first floor is a Criminal Brand store.

--[LUFFY] Cool! --I wasn't done talking.

We should go check it out!

'Kay!

Wait! Guys!

What about my story?

[SALESMAN 530A] Miss, I'm sorry. but I can't accommodate you.

Giving you a discount like that could cost me my job!

Sounds like someone is causing them trouble.

People have some nerve.

[NAMI] Did you not hear me?

I don't care how cute these clothes are,

they're way too expensive!

Speaking of nerve...

[NAMI] I want you to cut the price to 10,000 berries!

But that's less than half the retail price!

You must understand, I cannot do that!

It's just as I thought. Cheapskate.

Hey! There you are, Nami!

[NAMI] Luffy!

Oh, hi, Camie! It's been so long!

How have you been?

Good!

All right. What seems to be the problem here?

Oh! Thank goodness you showed up, Monsieur Pappagu.

She wants half off, just like her wardrobe.

[gasps] So you're the one in charge of this extortion ring?

You lower your prices, or I'll lower you.

Oh, Monsieur!

Y'see, there's a thing called "brand equity."

Because my designs are popular, they're--

You're not listening!

Okay, okay, I get it!

Look, we're all friends here, aren't we?

I guess I owe ya.

For all the help you gave us two years ago.

Whatever ya want's free! Take as much as you can carry!

For real? Why, thank you!

You know what to do, guys. Let's bleed 'em dry!

[BROOK, USOPP, LUFFY] Yeah!

You're the greatest!

Monsieur! They took everything we had!

Aw, come on! You could cut me some slack!

Talk about a deal! Or steal.

[CROWD murmuring]

[LUFFY] Huh?

My. What's all that racket?

Something serious must be happening.

Monsieur! We have an emergency!

[PAPPAGU] What is it?

[panting]

It's him! He is here!

That's kinda vague.

[MERMAID 530A gasps]

I can't believe it!

Someone pinch me!

Up there in the sky! You can see him!

We're in the presence of royalty!

[NEPTUNE] Jamon! Jamon!

Jamon, Jamon, Jamon!

Jamon, Jamon...

What the heck is that? Some kinda whale?

[NEPTUNE] Jamon, Jamon, Jamon, Jamon, Jamon!

Jamon!

[gasps] What is he doing down here in the lower world?

This is my first time seeing him.

[FISHMAN 530AA] This is unheard of.

He doesn't even have guards!

[FISHWOMAN 530AA] Why is that? Did something happen?

He's never travelled unattended before!

[FISHMAN 530BB] Something must be wrong in the kingdom!

That has to be it!

He never comes down here unless there's an emergency!

[NEPTUNE laughs]

Okay. Who's the old guy?

Come on! How have you not figured this out by now?

It's kinda really important!

The merman in front of you is the King of the Ryugu Kingdom!

The ruler of Fishman Island.

The God of the Sea, Neptune!

[NEPTUNE] Indeed I am.

Whale!

Oh, wow. Is this dude enormous or what?

I'd rather see a mermaid than a merman.

[PAPPAGU] Will you two shut up?

He's super old. And he's super hairy, too. Gross.

Keep your observations to yourself!

Kneel down and show some respect!

Can we talk about how cute the whale is?

Is he here because of the humans?

[FISHMAN 530C] That seems kind of beneath him.

[NEPTUNE] Hm. Well, Megalo?

Are you certain these are the people you encountered earlier?

[growls]

Hold on. I know him!

We met that shark when we were outside.

Oh, yeah, right! I recognize the shirt.

So this is where you went after we saved you!

[NEPTUNE] Hear my words, Straw Hat people.

[NAMI, LUFFY, USOPP] Huh?

[NEPTUNE] Mm...

Uh. We're listening.

[NEPTUNE] The reason I am here...

Huh.

[NEPTUNE] Is to invite you all to the Ryugu Palace!

[BOTH] What?!

You're personally inviting them to the palace?!

Is that supposed to be a big deal?

[crinkling]

[CHOPPER] Good. Your pulse is stabilizing.

It looks like you're gonna be fine.

I hope you appreciate all the stuff everyone's done for you.

Especially them.

"Appreciate?"

Need more blood babe?

Just think, a part of us will be inside you forever!

[SANJI screams]

Don't worry, Chopper. I don't think I'll ever forget.

I'm happy to hear that.

I can't believe you almost died, though.

Especially from something as silly as a nosebleed.

What would Nami and Robin say?

[yelps] Nami. Robin.

No! You can't have a relapse when we're this close!

Hey, get in here! Splash and Splatta, hurry!

[BLOND DONOR] Coming!

Is the patient in need of more of our fluids?

[BRUNETTE DONOR gasps] If so, just say the word.

He can have...

[BOTH] ...anything!

[screams]

Now now, you know you have to stay calm, silly!

Leave everything to us, we'll be here.

[BOTH] All night long!

[SANJI] No means no!

[BRUNETTE DONOR] There's no need to be shy!

[BLOND DONOR] Let it happen!

Getting worked up is bad for your health!

[SANJI] There is nothing worse for my health

in this entire place than you two! Get away from me!

Hang tight, Sanji.

[SANJI] Get off of me! [screams]

You want them...

...to go to the...

[BOTH] ...palace with you?

[NEPTUNE] Yes, that's correct.

[CROWD] What?!

No way!

A bunch of humans are invited to the palace?

These people must be really important!

Especially considering King Neptune

came to get them himself.

So is it possible that these guys are famous or something?

They do know Mosieur Pappagu.

[FISHWOMAN 530B] Wait a second! Isn't that Soul King?

[FISHWOMAN 530C] It is!

Why is this Ryugu place so important?

[PAPPAGU] Don't you know what a palace is?!

Here are the details.

Ryugu Palace is like, well,

it's like a holy icon for the citizens of Fishman Island.

Y'see, to us, it's a heavenly body

where none of us are ever allowed to enter!

But it's so much more than that.

King Neptune, along with the three prince brothers,

and the Mermaid Princess, call the place their--

...home!

The Royal Family lives there. So it's like a house.

[STRAW HATS] Oh.

Aw! Camie! That was dull!

Huh. Hey, old man?

[PAPPAGU] Show him some respect!

So, this palace of yours.

You got any really good food there?

[PAPPAGU yells]

[NEPTUNE] Naturally.

We are prepared to have a banquet in your honor.

We're in! Why didn't ya lead with that?

This is certainly an unexpected development!

It's almost more than my heart can handle!

Good thing that I don't have a heart anymore.

♪ Oh-ho! ♪

Let's get moving, guys!

The royal family?

I bet they've got tons of treasure laying around!

How did I know that's why you wanted to go?

All right! Let's roll!

[NEPTUNE] Mm-hm. Well, Megalo.

I'm counting on you to transport these Straw Hat people

to the Ryugu Palace in luxury.

[STRAW HATS] Ah!

[STRAW HATS laughs]

You want us to climb up?

[MEGALO] Shar! Shar!

Woo-hoo! So cool!

[BROOK] I hope we meet the Mermaid Princess!

[USOPP] You and me both, buddy!

[laughs]

Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you guys coming, too?

Uh. Well... W-We're not allowed to go.

It's off limits to people like us. Right?

Will you just stop complaining and get on?

My dinner is waiting!

And we can't say goodbye already!

It's not a problem. Right, Grandpa?

You can't just call the king "Grandpa"!

[NEPTUNE] Of course not. Your friends are welcome also.

Hear that? Grandpa said you can come, too!

This can't be happening!

Okay, but, please, just be polite!

Cool! Let's go! It's time to eat!

[PIRATE 530BB] Hurry up. We gotta move!

[GYRO] Row faster!

We're already living on borrowed time!

[PIRATE 530CC] If only it weren't so hard

to catch a current in the deep sea!

[GYRO] That's why we should have equipped ourselves

with paddle wheels!

We weren't ready for the New World after all!

[yelps] Captain! Look there!

[PIRATE 530C] There's something in the water in front of us!

[GYRO gasps] Oh, no! That's Hordy Jones!

He found us! We're screwed!

Hold on! See his hands?

Those are handcuffs. Why's he stuck in those things?

[PIRATE 530F] You don't think he plans to fight us

like that, do ya?

[laughs]

He's gone! Where the hell did he go?

[growls]

[GYRO gasps]

[PIRATES scream]

Get up! He's coming back around!

[PIRATE 530DD] He's tearing us apart!

How the hell is he this fast?

[PIRATE yells]

[gasps]

[yelps] What do we do now, boss?

Take him out!

There's only one of him, after all!

[laughs]

[PIRATE 530I] Oh, no. What now?

You're not the first Fishman I've fought against,

and I've done your dirty work.

Now it's my chance to return the favor.

You're only a damn fish. So let me teach you a lesson.

Don't mess with humans!

Captain, no!

I'm not done yet!

Yeah. You are.

[IKAROS] We were tough before, but we're unbeatable with this.

Our power drug, the Energy Steroid.

[ZEO] Fishmen are naturally ten times stronger than humans,

but that hasn't made a strong enough impression.

However, with just one pill, we can double our strength

and finally strike some terror

into their cowardly little hearts.

I don't know if I'd go as far as our boss,

but doubling the dose

and doubling the effect has its benefits.

Even if it does shorten our lifespan.

Well, we aren't afraid of dying

if we can realize our dream, right?

[PIRATE 530K] Wait. What the hell is he doing now?

[PIRATE 530L] Get away from the mast, you freak!

That's why! The handcuffs! He wore them to prove

that he doesn't need his hands to sink us!

[ZEO] Not only did humans kill Fisher Tiger,

but they also dashed Arlong's dreams.

The dark chain of events that have cursed our race end now.

That is our purpose as the New Fishman Pirates!

[PIRATES screaming]

[PIRATES yell]

[PIRATES screaming]

[HORDY] Set them adrift in the New World.

Okay? But some of those guys are still alive.

Shouldn't we kill them all first?

[HORDY laughs] No, they have a purpose.

You'll see.

Those of you who are getting away with just cuts

and bruises will live to send a message.

Tell the people up above what happened to you in the sea.

Let them know who did this to you.

You've seen my strength firsthand,

so don't spare a single detail.

Because once we've liberated Fishman Island from the gutless

"God of the Sea" Neptune,

we'll be coming to drag you humans to the bottom of these

depths, I promise you that!

And the Fishmen will stand on top of the world,

as the supreme species!

[laughs]

[NARRATOR] Luffy and friends accept King Neptune's invitation

and head for Ryugu Palace.

However, Luffy is tempted by the smell of food

and leaves the group in search of something to eat.

Wandering the palace, he soon comes upon an enormous

tower with a sturdy sealed door.

What is the story behind the strange weapons

lodged in its side?

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Ryugu Palace! Taken by the Shark That They Saved!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
