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.

Luffy and his crew reunite to continue on to the New World.

Their first stop is Fishman Island,

where they encounter King Neptune, merman royalty,

and conniving pirates alike.

Soon, Luffy leaves on an adventure

with the Mermaid Princess,

leaving his crew to fend for themselves.

[LUFFY] "Hordy's Onslaught!

The Retaliatory Plan Set Into Motion!"

[gasps]

[MEGALO grunting]

Look at that cloud! It's so cute!

Huh?

[SHIRAHOSHI] I've only read about them in books, of course,

but doesn't it look just like raccoon?

[LUFFY] Oh, yeah! That's funny! It's totally Chopper!

Who's Chopper?

A friend. Part of my crew.

He's a doctor.

I'm confused.

Are those giant flying fish?

[LUFFY] Darn it. They're too far away to tell.

Is something wrong? I can't see from in here.

[FISHBOY 535A] Mom, what are those weird fish?

Whoa! Look at that!

That's not normal.

[FISHMAN 535B] Ryugu Palace! Ryugu Palace! Come in!

This is border control. Come in. Can anyone hear me?

Hello? Hello?

I wonder what's wrong. Huh.

[TRANSPONDER SNAIL 535A] Click.

I'm still not getting anything at all.

You think the snail's sick?

There's no immediate call for alarm,

but it does seem like there are a lot of people

coming in from the Fishman District.

It worries me.

That many wouldn't come at one time just for shopping.

They're dangerous people. Anything could happen.

Today is the day. History will be made.

All of Fishman Island will be united under one flag!

Mermaids, mermen and fishmen must all come together.

We must all be of the same mind!

We've tolerated humans long enough.

Land-dwellers are inferior! We will rule them.

Or they will die!

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES cheer]

We will erase the mistakes of the past

and forge an everlasting legacy!

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES cheer]

[laughs] Today is the anniversary

of our engagement dear, Shirahoshi!

But it's no rush.

We don't have to get married today.

I'll wait until tomorrow.

Seems the Sun Pirates and Jimbei have decided not to join us.

Annoying, but it isn't exactly unexpected.

[ZEO] We take down Neptune.

We take down Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Mamboshi,

then we're done.

Then his army-hii will fall,

assuming they don't surrender first.

Mu, hee, hee.

Caw! But that's no fun.

I wanna feast on their flesh! Caw, caw!

You tell me what to cut and then I'll cut it. Hic.

You know the plan, right?

We split up, conquer one area, and move on.

They won't know what hit them. Before this day is done,

the Ryugu Kingdom will fall and we will reign!

[NEW FISHMAN PIRATES cheer]

[ROBIN] Good. Right on time.

The Sea Forest, huh?

I wonder what that's like.

[FISHMAN 535D] That's Nico Robin of the Straw Hats.

No question.

[FISHMAN 535D] Don't move!

You and your crewmates are suspects in two investigations!

First off, we have a missing person case.

Or people, rather.

Mermaids that your crew had recent contact with.

Second, a powerful psychic has named you

as a risk to the safety of our island.

We can't afford to take any chances.

So we're arresting your crew!

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

So you're here because of a psychic?

That doesn't sound very scientific or sensible.

I'm disappointed your culture

still puts faith in such nonsense.

Uh! Madam Sharley's premonitions are never wrong!

Now shut up and come with us!

I think I'll pass.

Wouldn't want to miss my bus, after all.

Capture her!

[FISHMEN yell]

Now Mil Fleurs!

[FISHMEN scream]

If anyone can move, try to stop her.

[ROBIN] It seems my theory was correct.

There's a Poneglyph hidden here somewhere.

The crew can take care of themselves.

I can't miss a chance to uncover the world's lost history.

[GROUP panting]

Would you give it up already?

They're terribly persistent.

[NAMI sighs] How'd it come to this?

We were supposed to have a banquet, weren't we?

[ZORO] I got to drink some booze and now I get to fight.

I don't see anything to complain about here.

They wanna start trouble with us, then fine.

That's what they're gonna get.

Come on, gimme a break!

I know you like to be a tough guy,

but don't you think we've got enough trouble already?

Nobody cares if pirates fight other pirates, all right?

It's fine as long as we win.

Any excuse, huh? Sheesh, why do I even bother.

What's the deal?

You keep coming at us, but you're barely even alive.

Can't we settle this peacefully before someone dies?

They won't listen to reason. Let's just end this.

[MAN 535C laughs]

Just pass them and hit the switch.

I know we can make it.

All we have to do is open the gate,

and they'll let us live.

Sorry, Straw Hats.

But you're finished.

Time to die!

[MEN yell]

[screams]

[GROUP screams]

[BROOK] Screaming! How fun!

No mercy!

Come here!

[MAN 535K grunts]

I'm afraid you leave me no choice.

[MEN] Die!

You're not gonna beat us, you guys.

Move it!

[USOPP] Careful!

[MAN 535Q groans]

[MEGALO grunting]

I'm still thinking about those huge fish.

[SHIRAHOSHI] Luffy.

How did you get so strong?

You weren't born that way, were you?

No, but I've been training since I was real little.

I have to, 'cause they're always somebody stronger.

Wow. Someone stronger than you?

That can't be!

[MEGALO grunting]

[LUFFY] What's wrong, shark? Don't tell me you're sick.

Megalo?

You're acting weird. Do you need to take a break?

[LUFFY] Ah, man, that was a close one!

You gotta be more careful, shark!

So what if I enjoyed it? I fought 'em 'cause I had to!

I see, then you are a bloodthirsty butcher!

You'll turn your blade on us next, won't you?

Look. These guys were after our heads

and probably yours, too.

Did you expect us to serve 'em tea?

Good idea!

That sounds like a lovely way to settle things!

Oh, yeah, I'm sure they would go for that!

Who can say? Certainly not them right now!

Since you knocked them out before we could learn

why they were here!

Except it doesn't matter what they wanted,

because we stopped them from doing it!

Man, I hate this. How'd we turn into the bad guys?

It's because everyone on our crew is so irresponsible.

Or just plain violent.

Well, just look at our captain.

Good point. Too late for regrets now.

[laughs] Speaking of Luffy.

I wonder if he came across the Mermaid Princess.

I'd still quite like to meet her.

[ALL scream]

[NEPTUNE] My poor little girl! You fiends!

What have you done to her? Why?

Stop crying!

I know we tied up your guards,

but we didn't lay a finger on your daughter!

[NEPTUNE] Liar! Straw Hat Luffy took her away!

My sweet princess!

[BROOK] I can assure you that's not the case.

I only saw Luffy and Mister Shark leave the room.

Surely I would have noticed

if they had a mermaid princess with them.

[NEPTUNE] If you knew her, you would understand.

She would never sneak out on her own.

Also, someone would notice if she simply swam out of the room.

She takes after me when it comes to size.

[gasps] Your daughter's as big as you?

Jamon! Hooray!

[BROOK] No thank you.

[NEPTUNE] Why didn't I realize it sooner?

Straw Hat hid Shirahoshi inside Megalo's mouth

and they all left the palace together!

[FISHMEN laugh]

Come on, your highness,

you shouldn't joke at a time like this.

That's crazy!

I know Straw Hat has a wild reputation,

but that's pretty far out there, even for him.

Ah... Ah-choo!

Dang it, shark, you've got me sneezing now.

Sharks make you sneeze? I didn't know that.

They don't, but sometimes

I sneeze outta nowhere. Wonder why.

[NEPTUNE] Come back, Shirahoshi!

That's enough!

Luffy may be a pirate, but he's not a kidnapper.

There has to be another culprit out there.

[NEPTUNE] You can't talk your way out of this one!

If my little girl doesn't come back safe,

then I'm keeping your ship!

And I'll be keeping your friends in jail!

[NAMI] No fair! We're victims here, too!

I... I did it.

Looks like they finished their job.

Not bad for a bunch of humans.

[FRANKY yells]

[FRANKY] Hey, Sunny! Lookin' good!

Things got pretty wild back there,

but you can't keep a super ship down!

[DEN] As you can see, others weren't so lucky.

The tide brings many sunken vessels to this spot.

It's almost like a graveyard for ships

that couldn't reach the New World.

And yet, this is a place overflowing with life.

Thanks to the grace of the Sun Tree Eve,

many colorful fish and coral make their home here.

[FRANKY] And whales, too, huh?

I don't think I've ever seen so many in one place before.

Some of 'em are even bigger than the Sunny!

[DEN] Even if they're tucked away in deep waters,

whales always know where fertile seas lie.

[FRANKY] Whoa. This place is a real wonderland.

[DEN] It's endlessly fascinating.

No matter how much I observe,

there's always something new to find.

[FRANKY] So it's not just me.

Even the people who live down here

think this place is a miracle.

All of Fishman Island, I mean.

[DEN chuckles]

[DEN] I don't know how you got wood from the tree of Adam,

but this is a fine ship, worthy of its parts.

[FRANKY] Damn straight! This is my masterpiece!

Tom made a ship outta the same stuff for Gold Roger.

So nothin' less'll do for my captain!

[DEN chuckles] I'll do the ship coating for you.

And I'll do it with gusto.

[FRANKY] Haven't heard that one in a while.

Oh, uh, sorry, I never caught your name.

Call me Den.

[FRANKY] So, Den, don't take this the wrong way,

but for bein' his brother, you sure don't look much like Tom.

I mean, you're a merman and he was a fishman.

Was one of you adopted or somethin'?

[laughs] That's a human-centric way to think.

I can hardly blame you, since family members

tend to look so much alike on the surface.

It works a bit differently with us.

We carry genes from our ancestors

that can show up in different ways.

And this rule applies to both merfolk and fishmen.

So, if an octopus mermaid gives birth to a shark merman,

that's normal.

It just means that she, or the father,

has shark merman somewhere in their lineage.

The bottom line is nothing really surprises us.

No matter what way our children turn out.

That's why it doesn't make much sense to us

when humans discriminate against someone

just because they look a certain way.

See, the way you look

doesn't say a thing about who you are.

[FRANKY chuckles]

Speakin' of which,

was one of your ancestors a robot, perhaps?

[FRANKY] That's not how it works, bro.

My mistake. You're human.

So one of your parents was a robot?

[FRANKY] How does that make sense?

Heh. You tell me!

[FRANKY] It was a rhetorical question!

I should've said, I got a letter from Granny Kokoro.

So, I heard all about you and Iceberg.

[FRANKY] You and the old bag stay in touch?

That's nice.

Now that is one face I never thought I'd miss.

[DEN] At any rate, I heard the whole story.

The good and the bad.

I know that my brother died

the very same way he lived.

With gusto!

Well, either way,

I do appreciate you comin' here to tell me.

It seems he chose his students well.

[FRANKY giggles]

Aw, you're flattering me!

[DEN] Are you sure you're not a robot?

Uh, well, it's complicated.

Let's drop it, okay?

By the way, I've been meanin' to ask ya.

There's a dude sitting all alone over there.

Do you know who he is?

Uh-huh! That would be the Boss, Jimbei.

Huh? Boss of what?

[DEN] Consider it a term of endearment.

He's waiting for someone, but he doesn't wanna

enter the island because he's a wanted man.

[FISHMAN 535A yells] Intruder alert!

But, the front gate.

How did you scoundrels get in here?

[DECKEN] Well, isn't this convenient!

I was ready for a fight, but everyone's tied up!

I didn't expect much from those pirates we sent.

Don't tell me they're the ones who did this.

It doesn't matter.

When someone leaves you a present,

you don't ask questions.

Heh. They look scared.

I know you!

What's he doing here?

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] We've fought so hard

to keep Vander Decken away and now he waltzes right in!

And is that who I think it is?

[MINISTER OF THE RIGHT] Hordy Jones from the Fishman District?

What does he want? This can't be good.

[NEPTUNE] Hordy. I know that name.

He once served us.

That is, he was a decorated soldier in the royal army.

Actually, on second thought...

Are you setting a trap for us?

[ZORO] Had an awful lot of visitors today, huh?

Ugh.

They're not like the last batch.

You did this! You must be accomplices!

Just admit it: you let them into the palace!

Oh, really? It's our fault?

You realize we wouldn't even be here in the first place

if your king hadn't invited us!

I don't know those guys! I don't want to!

They're scary!

Hey! You gotta give our weapons back!

This is bad! We're gonna need to fight them!

[NEPTUNE] Vander Decken!

So you're the one behind this! Straw Hat was innocent.

Give me back my daughter!

You've made her suffer enough!

[laughs] All father-in-laws say that,

but you'll come around by the time our honeymoon is over.

This I suspect!

[NEPTUNE] I'll never be your father-in-law!

Now where did you take Shirahoshi?

If you harmed one hair on her head--

You're losing your mind, old man.

If I already had her, why would I bother breaking in here?

[NEPTUNE] Don't play dumb with me!

You're here and my daughter is missing!

The situation is clear!

[DECKEN] Someone took my Shirahoshi?!

[screams] This is a tragedy!

[NEPTUNE] She's not yours!

And damn right, it's a tragedy!

Calm down, your highness.

This is going nowhere and we need answers, quickly!

[NEPTUNE growls]

[NEPTUNE, DECKEN] Hm?

Enough screaming. It's a bluff.

See this?

All the pirates you threw at her are here in the palace.

That means she must be close.

Even if Neptune is telling the truth

and she's gone, she couldn't have gotten far.

Somebody, help me!

[HORDY] Besides, one little toss

and you can track her down anywhere.

Don't tell me love has made you so blind

that you forgot how to use your own power.

His power? What's that?

Good idea! You know, Hordy.

For a musclehead,

you're really pretty clever when it comes down to it!

Huh? Now he's leaving?

I have a real bad feeling about this.

[DECKEN] All right, Mr. Coral,

find my princess for me!

Oh! It is flying away!

[yells] We've been in love for ten years!

Nothing can tear us apart, Princess!

Except death, that is!

And then, I had a real big fart!

[laughs]

That is funny,

but it's a bit inappropriate, too.

[LUFFY] Oh, oops!

[LUFFY, SHIRAHOSHI laugh]

[laughs] If I can't have you, then nobody can!

You're about to be a big, beautiful corpse, Shirahoshi!

[NARRATOR] As sea water pours through

the palace's broken wall, Hordy attacks Neptune's army.

Neptune risks his life to protect his soldiers

but cannot triumph in battle.

Just when things are starting to look grim,

Zoro challenges Hordy himself.

However, with the sea water continuing to rise,

the swordsman is forced to battle the Fishman underwater.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Battle of the Ryugu Palace! Zoro vs. Hordy!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
