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 that 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.

[LUFFY] 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 on their journey is Fishman Island,

thousands of feet below sea level.

However, shortly upon arrival,

they found the New Fishman Pirates

disturbing the peace of the Ryugu Kingdom.

[yells]

[SHIRAHOSHI] What a horrid thing to do!

[SHIRAHOSHI] Who are you, sir, and what are you doing here?

Please don't hurt me!

Whoa. That's one big lady.

Uh, I mean, big fish lady.

[sobs] Someone help me! Father, please! Brother, please!

Hey, wait! I didn't come here to kill ya, okay?

[sobbing]

Ah! You suck, lady! Shut up!

[LUFFY] "A Coward and a Crybaby!

The Princess in the Hard Shell Tower!"

[WADATSUMI grunts]

[WADATSUMI] Hey! Stay lit! Dimwit!

How many times have I gotta tell ya that we're working here?

Wait to eat on your own time, ya got it?

Ooh, yummy!

[DECKEN] Wadatsumi!

[DECKEN] Is there anything you're neglecting to tell me?

Have you received a reply from Princess Shirahoshi yet?

No. Sorry, Captain Decken.

There's still no word.

[DECKEN sighs] Just how long has she kept me waiting?

[WADATSUMI] Uh... About ten years or so.

She's really taking her time.

[DECKEN] I don't blame her.

This is the doing of that despicable Neptune.

He intends to force the Princess into a political marriage!

Or so I suspect!

Ten years now!

That heartless monarch has kept his daughter locked

in a steel tower for an entire decade!

Oh, how it pains me so!

This cruel tragedy!

The Princess and I are in love!

Ha!

So, I suspect!

Princess Shirahoshi! You are my love!

I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!

No matter how far I search along this vast seafloor,

I will never find another as big and beautiful as you, my dear!

We are meant to be together.

Yes! And so, I'll twist the head off fate itself

to prevent you from being with anyone else.

I'd rather see you dead.

Your choice. [cackles]

You can live as my wife, or stop living altogether.

Let me give you another token of my love.

An axe with a rose on it.

Accept this emblem of my deadly, undying love!

Captain? Isn't that the wrong direction?

Don't be a fool!

You know I never miss my target!

Just watch.

[FLYING PIRATE 532AA] It reversed course!

And look, it's heading straight towards the Ryugu Palace!

[laughs]

[sobbing, screaming]

Hey, whoa! Will ya calm down?!

I'm just a hungry pirate lookin' for somethin' t'eat!

Jeez, listen to me!

[sobbing]

Hey! She's so loud! My ears!

[GUARD 532AA] Princess Shirahoshi's crying!

[GUARD 532BB] Get to the Hard Shell Tower!

[GUARD 532CC] Fine, but where the hell are the on-duty guards?

What?! So there's nobody protecting her?

[GUARD 532A] I'm sorry, sir!

The guards were in the middle of changing shifts!

No excuses! To the tower!

Somebody help me, please!

There's a human here in my chambers!

A bloodthirsty human aiming to kill me, I'm certain!

Huh? No! Hey! Quit makin' up stuff!

I just wanted that food!

I didn't even know you were in here, all right?

[gasps]

[gasps]

Huh?

[LUFFY grunting]

[yelling]

[pants]

The heck was that? Who's throwin' axes?

[USOPP] Jeez, c'mon, already!

Where's this banquet? I'm getting tired of waiting.

My stomach is growling.

Oh, hold on.

I don't even have a stomach that can growl.

[laughs]

--[NAMI] Hey! --[BROOK] Yes?

I have a funny feeling

that this banquet's not happening.

[USOPP] Ugh. What now?

I thought we'd been pretty good guests so far.

What's happening?

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] I hate to detain you like this, however,

we've just received a rather distressing call saying that

you people are suspects in two ongoing investigations!

What? Suspects? For what crime?

First!

Multiple charges of Mermaid kidnapping!

Whoa, we would never do something like th--

Second!

By reason of Madam Sharley's premonition,

your crew is suspected of bringing potential calamity

to Fishman Island!

Huh? Wait, seriously?

So you're suspecting us of something

that hasn't even happened yet!

[PAPPAGU] Shut up!

[NAMI] They need to shut up!

[NEPTUNE] Hm... Is this the right course of action?

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] Based on these charges,

we will take your crew into custody!

Do not let them escape!

Protect Fishman Island at any cost!

[GUARDS] Yeah!

Seize them!

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Princess Shirahoshi!

What's all that noise?

[SHIRAHOSHI] Sorry.

[LUFFY yelps]

Is everything all right, Princess?

[GUARD 532DD] Are you injured somehow?

Um. I'm fine!

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] You were crying even louder than usual.

It gave us quite the fright!

Hey, put me dow--!

Hold on, the door was already open!

Did you see any intruders here, princess?

Uh, perhaps a strong current opened it!

I awoke crying from a bad dream, that's all!

I need ai--!

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Hm? I swear I just heard someone!

[SHIRAHOSHI] Uh, no that's, well, um...

My... My stomach was rumbling!

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Oh? Are you certain?

Shark!

Who goes there?

[MEGALO grunts]

[SHIRAHOSHI] Megalo! You've returned!

Ah. That reminds me.

I have some rather dire and vexing information

I must relay to you immediately.

It's regarding the pirate who saved Megalo.

The one known as Straw Hat Luffy.

Some Mermaid girls were kidnapped,

and he's our prime suspect.

Also, based on a troubling prediction

from Madam Sharley, the Straw Hat crew is considered

a potential risk to the entire kingdom.

So we've locked them in the palace prison, just to be safe.

[SHIRAHOSHI gasps]

We already have the swordsman in custody.

Upon arrival, he drank himself into a state of compliance.

[grunts, snores]

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Three other members of the crew

have just arrived, and I imagine

they're in custody as well by now.

But their captain...

Well, he might be more perceptive than he appears

and picked up on our intentions.

For he seems to have fled.

He is almost certainly hiding somewhere in the palace.

So please, be careful.

We'll catch the rest of them on the island in no time.

I can promise you that.

We will defend this country as well as your home at any cost.

[stomach growls]

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] What was that? I heard something.

[SHIRAHOSHI] Are you sure? You sound paranoid.

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] No, I'm sure that I--

[SHIRAHOSHI] It was just your imagination!

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Well, what I wanted to say...

I feel awful that we have to arrest

the people who saved Megalo. I know how much he means to you.

[SHIRAHOSHI] Shh!

Princess?

You're acting a bit strange. Are you hiding some--

[GUARD 532C] Minister. We must leave.

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Oh. Five minutes already?

Well, we'll be going now.

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Check every lock on those doors!

[locks clicking]

[SHIRAHOSHI] You saved me.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry.

I should've given you a chance earlier.

I hope you'll forgive me.

If I had only known who you were.

That you were the one who saved Megalo.

[MEGALO] Shark! Shark!

[SHIRAHOSHI] Not to be overly familiar,

but may I call you Luffy?

Yeah, sure.

So, Luffy,

they said that you're a pirate, right?

Does that mean you're a bad person?

Oh, I dunno.

I think I'll let you make that call.

Okay.

Oh. I don't know if you just heard,

but our soldiers have taken your friends into custody.

Yeah. That's no big deal.

Trust me on this, there's no way your guys can keep them

locked up for long.

Really? Huh.

Yeah. Don't worry about it, though.

So, what's with the ax? Lemme hear it.

You know who threw the thing? Were they trying to hit you?

[SHIRAHOSHI] I know who threw it, and yes, he was.

His name is Vander Decken, and he's a pirate.

He wanted to marry me and I refused,

so he wants to kill me now.

And he will. There's no escape.

You see, he ate the Mark-Mark fruit.

And he used that power to "mark" me.

All he has to do is throw a weapon, and it will find me.

Anywhere, any time.

[screams]

[DECKEN laughs]

That's why I never leave here.

My only real chance to continue living

is being locked away inside the Hard Shell Tower.

[stomach growls]

I'm so hungry!

Ooh! Oh, yummy! I can eat all this?

[SHIRAHOSHI] Go ahead.

[LUFFY] So good!

[LUFFY] So this creep wants to marry you

but he's trying to kill you? Doesn't make much sense, huh?

'Cause it's usually one or the other.

Yes. I've been in here ten years.

[LUFFY] Ten whole years? Man, you must be bored!

Indeed, and my father made

a well-meaning but misguided rule.

So now no one can visit for more than five minutes.

Which is why Megalo's my only real friend.

Without him...

Well, I wouldn't have anyone to talk to.

[LUFFY] Yeah, they were gonna throw a big banquet

to thank us for savin' him.

Guessin' that's been canceled now.

It's so awful. Why would they do that?

They don't have to throw you all in prison.

[SHIRAHOSHI] Though from what I've heard about Madam Sharley,

all of her premonitions have been astoundingly accurate.

I suppose that explains the nature of their caution,

--but still... --[LUFFY slurping]

Or maybe they were just worried

you would consume the entire kingdom's food supply.

You humans sure do eat a lot despite how small you are.

[LUFFY] That's the old guy's fault.

He made a big fuss about the banquet.

But then he kept getting yelled at.

I finally couldn't wait any longer,

so I followed the smell here.

Hey, by the way, did they call you "Princess"?

Yes.

[LUFFY] So you're the Mermaid Princess?

Yes.

That does come with being King Neptune's daughter.

My name is Shirahoshi.

Shi-what?

[SHIRAHOSHI] Shirahoshi.

Uh... That's too tough to say.

Ooh! I'm eatin' that!

[SHIRAHOSHI giggles]

You know, I could be wrong,

but you haven't struck me as a bad person so far.

Are you an adventurer?

Is that why you decided to become a pirate?

[LUFFY] Uh-huh.

How wonderful.

Then you must have seen the sun many times in your adventures.

Oh, yeah!

And what do the stars in the night sky look like?

Oh! I bet you've seen

all sorts of animals, and flowers, too, huh?

Now, what else?

Oh, right!

Have you ever been to the green place?

I think perhaps people call it a "forest"?

[LUFFY] Hey, relax, you ask too many questions!

--Just gimme a sec! --[SHIRAHOSHI] Sure.

It's cute how full your cheeks are!

Poke!

Stop it! What the heck is wrong with you?!

[gasps] Puh, puh, please, don't.

Please don't yell at me! I just can't handle it!

Oh, no. You're such a-a brute.

[sobs]

Whoa, calm down!

This is nothing to cry over! Stop!

No one has ever yelled at me before!

And I don't like it! It's horrible!

[sobs]

How can someone so big be such a coward and a crybaby?

Y'know. I don't think I like you.

[laughs]

[whines]

[SHIRAHOSHI] How could you say that?

No one's ever said such an awful thing to me.

You're such a terrible man!

Please! Just go. I want you to leave!

I can't take it! It hurts too much!

Ah! I am full! Thanks for the grub!

With as long as you've been stuck in here,

no wonder you're scared of everything.

Leave, Luffy.

Just please get out of here!

[LUFFY] I could.

But, isn't there someplace that you wanna go?

[SHIRAHOSHI] Huh?

Well, of course there is.

There are lots of places that I'd love to see. Why?

[LUFFY] Thought you'd say that.

So, let's get outta here!

What?

Let's go take a stroll!

No, I'm not supposed to.

I can't do that.

[LUFFY] Why not? Just do it!

--You'll be okay! --[SHIRAHOSHI, MEGALO] Huh?

[LUFFY] If that guy throws somethin' at you, fine.

I'll take it down, just like the last time.

[BOTH gasp]

[snoring]

[CELL GUARD 532A] Look at this guy.

Passed out, sleepin' like a baby in a jail cell.

You didn't see how much booze this one drank, did you?

Hurry up!

[CELL GUARD 532B] They seem awful worked up.

What's goin' on?

[snoring]

Usopp-chin! Nami-chin! Brook-chin!

Apprehend them now!

They're just three measly humans!

Don't do anything dumb!

Please, you gotta stop resisting!

You really will be criminals if you don't!

Yet, there is no just cause for them to lock us up.

Sorry, Camie.

This is such a total letdown. I really wanted that banquet.

[USOPP] At this point, playing nice won't do much good.

You heard what he said: they've made up their minds

about what kind of people we are.

[GUARDS] Huh?

If they desire, we'll stay and fight them till the end of time.

Surely the three of them aren't that strong.

They must be bluffing.

Listen up, no one knows what the future holds.

So, whether we're heroes or villains,

you still shouldn't cross us.

Is it me or has he really gotten his act together?

[CAMIE] Seems like Brook-chin and Nami-chin got stronger

over the past two years as well!

See? This is the very prologue

to the future that's been foreseen!

Then it's your fault!

We wouldn't have fought back in the first place

if you guys didn't insist on fighting us!

[NEPTUNE grunts] Good point.

Ha! But this is nothin'.

Not compared to the giant insect attack I went through

back when I was on the Bowin islands.

[BROOK grunts]

[grunts]

[USOPP] Behold! My new weapon, Black Kabuto!

Ha. I'm happy to give you a demonstration.

Please, King Neptune, we need your help!

[NEPTUNE] Hm. Is it really fair to arrest someone

based on a prediction that they will commit a crime?

I need time to contemplate this.

It's a precarious situation. And until I decide,

you will have to wait in custody!

[BROOK] He's quite formidable!

[NEPTUNE grunts] Surrender!

[NAMI] Zoro!

Hold on. I thought they locked you up!

Sounded like you guys were havin' some fun,

so here I am.

Okay, Captain Decken, this is it!

[DECKEN] Just wait for me there, Wadatsumi.

Sure. Aye-aye, Captain.

This way.

[DECKEN] Of course. Thanks for your patience.

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES cheer]

[FISHMAN PIRATE 531AA] Vander Decken's here!

I knew he'd come!

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATE 532B] Welcome!

[DECKEN] Sorry to keep you gentlemen waiting.

We ran into a bit of a volcanic eruption.

A pity.

And you must be the notorious Hordy.

I suspect.

Enough flattery. You're notorious.

We both are, Nutty Vander Decken.

Pleasure to meet ya.

A formal handshake?

Just a moment.

That's a bit tricky for a fellow like me.

Huh?

There we go!

Uh...

Ah. Never mind.

Nice to meet you, too.

It's a pleasure. Mister Hordy Jones.

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES cheer]

[ZEO] Nothing on the seafloor can stop us now.

The worst of the worst together at last!

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES chanting] Decken! Decken! Hordy! Hordy!

King Neptune is a royal nuisance for you and I alike.

I'm sure.

Oh, yeah. We've got the same goal here.

His army--they take no pride in being Fishmen.

So together, we will conquer them.

And then we kill Neptune, God of the Sea.

[HORDY] And lastly...

[DECKEN] ...we will destroy...

[BOTH] ...the entire Ryugu Kingdom!

[NARRATOR] The Straw Hats face off with Neptune.

While they have the upper hand at first,

Neptune's soldiers threaten to pop their bubble,

leaving them to drown in the underwater chambers.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Shirahoshi avoid the pirates'

attempted infiltration of the Tower.

The peaceful Ryugu Palace soon devolves into chaos.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"It's an Emergency! The Ryugu Palace is Occupied!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
