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 the road.

A graveyard of dreams.

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.

The Fishman Pirates, led by Hordy Jones

and assisted by Vander Decken,

plot to overthrow King Neptune.

It's not long before the Straw Hats get pulled into

the conflict.

Aided by Neptune, Zoro, Usopp, and Brook attempt to escape

the palace.

However, their efforts were quickly thwarted by Hordy,

whose strengh increased dramatically

after taking a drug known as the Energy Steroid.

Meanwhile, Luffy and the others arrive at the Sea Forest,

where they meet with Jimbei.

Eleven years ago,

Arlong was locked away by the Government,

and even knowing what evils he was capable of...

...I freed him.

[LUFFY] "The Haunting Ties!

Nami and the Fishman Pirates!"

[ROBIN] There must be a key to the void in history

here somewhere.

I'm sure of it.

To think that the missing piece may have been here

for several centuries, untouched.

If I keep going, I know I'll find something.

Bingo!

But what about King Neptune?

Don't look back!

The king's giving us a chance to make it out of here!

[SOLDIER B] The exit!

[SOLDIER A] We made it outside!

[SOLDIER B] Activate the coral!

That didn't go well at all!

Few guards escaped!

King Neptune sacrificed himself and we have nothing

to show for it!

We failed you!

Oh, quit your whining!

We followed his orders, plain and simple!

Listen up!

This is by no means a retreat!

We'll save the king, take back the Ryugu Palace,

and eradicate that pirate scum in due time!

But first off,

we need to contact Prince Fukaboshi

and his brothers!

[FISHMEN SOLDIERS] Yeah!

Find the Princes as soon as you can, got it?

After that, we'll start regrouping

and make our way back to the palace!

[FISHMEN SOLDIERS] Right!

What town's closest to where we are now?

Fishverly Hills, sir!

--[FISHMEN yell] --[FISHMAN A] Look out!

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, in the high-class district

of Fishverly Hills...

[FISHMAN A] Run away!

[PIRATE A] Get in a line, now!

[PIRATE B] You'll do it if you know what's good for ya!

I don't understand.

What do you want from us?

Stomp it.

[FISHMAN B] What?

It's a test!

[FISHMAN B] But why?

[IKAROS] Do as we say!

It won't be long before Hordy rules this country-hhi.

Now, step on the picture!

But I can't do that.

Yes. You can!

[laughing]

[NARRATOR] At Candy Factory Town, in the northeast...

Come on, put your foot down!

I can't!

Huh?

I won't do it!

I can't tread on her image!

I beg you to understand.

[PIRATE E] Shut up!

[DARUMA] Ka ka!

Those who won't follow our orders will be branded

as human sympathizers.

Which means... you'll also be our enemy!

[NARRATOR] In the southeast,

outside the Fishman Culture Hall...

[FISHMEN arguing]

[HYOUZOU] Whoa, calm down!

I'll make it easy for you:

step on the picture, or get ready to leave the island.

It's your choice.

[FISHMAN C] That ain't happening!

Come on, guys!

This guy can't be that tough!

[FISHMEN] Huh?

[FISHMEN yell]

Just step on the picture.

Anyone who doesn't wanna

is gonna get sliced up real good.

[NARRATOR] At the Marine Shopping Mall in the east...

Whaddya mean, "Leave the country"?

This is our home!

We can't leave!

No other place on the seafloor gets light.

Besides, you're Fishmen too.

What makes you think humans will accept us?

[ZEO] See?

You already know how easily humans will discriminate

against anything that's different from them.

Hey!

What in the heck is happening to you, man?

[FISHMAN 539G] He's being choked!

[ZEO] There's no way that humans and Fishmen

will ever coexist peacefully.

Your best bet is to accept the rule of Hordy!

Under his reign, we'll have the power to change history!

[NARRATOR] At Waterwheel Town, in the north...

[CROWD yelling]

[DOSUN] Dosun!

Hey. I think it's your turn.

It'll be easy.

I can't do it!

You still haven't stepped on it yet?

Then what good are you?

Die!

Hey. Aren't you... Fukaboshi?

What is the meaning this?

Explain yourself!

[DOSUN] Heh...

You scum. How dare you!

Forcing people to tread on the image

of my late mother!

[NARRATOR] At Coral Hill, after the departure of Luffy

and the others...

It's too late! There's nothing we can do!

You're right. We let Vander Decken escape,

and before that, we couldn't stop the Straw Hats

from kidnapping Princess Shirahoshi!

Didn't the princess say she'd be back home

in time for dinner?

[FISHMAN 539O] Fool!

They made her say that so we wouldn't chase after them!

There's a group from the Fishman District

that's terrorizing the entire island!

Seriously?

Well, did they say what's happening over there?

This is unbelievable.

They said that mermaids are being reported missing

all over!

Princess Shirahoshi...

They wouldn't sell her to the Celestial Dragons,

would they?

[FISHWOMAN E screams]

[OLD FISHWOMAN A] Hey! Awful news.

It looks like another mermaid girl just went missing!

[FISHWOMAN A] This can't be happening!

[FISHMAN B] Form a search party!

[CARIBOU chuckles]

Got another one!

Who knew it would be this easy?

Even so...

I've just gotta get my hands on that one!

She's the biggest mermaid I've ever seen!

If a human-sized mermaid can net me 70 million,

then a mermaid that's ten times that size

is bound to bring in an even greater haul!

It's a mermaid mother lode!

[laughs]

Any way you slice it, I'll make a fortune!

Um, who are you?

[CARIBOU] Why, hello. Let me introduce myself!

[FISHWOMAN F screams]

[SHIRAHOSHI crying]

They have my father!

Please, Princess. Do not worry.

Hordy may have seized control of the palace,

but King Neptune will not give in so easily!

Your father is tougher than you realize!

Huh? You really think so?

I do. Still...

I will help save the king, at any cost!

Oh, well...

Thank you, Jimbei!

I'll be counting on you!

Now. Please excuse me.

I have a matter to discuss with Luffy and his crew.

[SANJI humming]

[SANJI] Beautiful Ladies!

Please have some tea!

Whatever, just leave it over there for right now.

Yeah. You've bothered us enough already.

We're having a serious talk!

You're so sexy when you're stern with me, Nami!

Sanjichin hasn't changed one bit!

Mmm, good!

Idiot, that's not for you! Give it back!

[NAMI] All right, Jimbei.

Let's settle this.

Tell me. What did you mean?

Earlier, you said you set Arlong loose

into the East Blue.

[HACHI] Nyuu!

Jimbei, wait!

It's fine.

[SANJI] I heard the same thing.

[NAMI] What?

[SANJI] Yeah.

A while back.

When Luffy and I first learned about Jimbei

of the Seven Warlords.

Yosaku told us about the bargain that Jimbei struck.

He's a warlord.

In exchange for becoming one of the Seven,

Jimbei let a dangerous Fishman run wild in the East Blue.

Ah. Is that what he told us?

Surprise, surprise.

You didn't remember.

Wonder how Yosaku's doing now.

Two years ago, when I read about you

associating with Jimbei in the newspaper,

I honestly didn't know what to think about it.

I thought Jimbei had been the key figure

pulling Arlong's strings and telling him what to do.

So, Jimbei.

I'll give you a chance to defend what happened,

but choose your words wisely.

After all, our very own navigator here

had her entire life ruined thanks to your buddy Arlong.

To put it simply, whatever you did

turned her world into a living hell.

Depending on what you have to say,

I might not forgive you!

[HACHI groans]

[CAMIE] Careful, Hatchin!

[CHOPPER] Don't move too much!

Your wounds could open up again!

But he's right! We caused her so much grief.

It's horrible, and all the apologizing in the world

won't change a thing.

[NAMI] I'm gonna guide ships around all the oceans

of the world.

It'll be great!

And then,

I can make maps of all the far off places I'll go!

This map's the first step to realizing your dream.

Is that about right?

Yep!

[BELLEMERE] Nami. Nojiko.

None of us are actually related.

But that doesn't mean we're not a family!

[VILLAGER N] Pirates!

Pirates are coming! Everybody run!

Greetings and salutations,

you pathetic little humans.

This village is now mine!

No, wait! Yes!

Better yet... I'll take this whole island!

[FISHMEN yell]

[ARLONG] A hundred thousand berries for adults

and 50,000 for children.

Those who cannot pay... die!

[ARLONG laughing]

[BELLEMERE] It's okay.

I have to do this for my family.

Even if it costs me my life.

It's true the three of us may not be related by blood.

But we're still a family.

All I've ever wanted to be to those girls

was their mother.

And now... I can be.

Enough chit-chat.

Now get ready to die.

Nojiko! Nami!

Love you.

[gunshot]

[ARLONG laughing]

[HACHI] What's this?

A map, huh?

[NAMI] No!

That's my map! I drew it! You can't have it!

A child drew this?

--Give it back! --[NOJIKO] Nami, no!

I'm impressed. Good job.

[ARLONG] She could be useful.

Bring her with us.

[HACHI] Right!

[NAMI] No, let go of me! Stop!

Somebody please help me!

[ARLONG PIRATE A] If humans want to eat, they have to work!

Now be a good girl and keep drawing maps.

[laughs]

[ARLONG] Gather up 100 million berries and then bring it to me.

Do so and I will let your village go.

in addition to giving you your freedom.

[MAN A] Get that thief!

She's got our treasure!

Isn't she just a kid?

I don't care! Shoot her down!

[MAN A] Crap! Find her!

[MAN B] Right!

[NAMI] Seventy million.

Only seventy million more and we'll be free!

Oh. So, you made it back after all!

I guess you have nowhere else to go.

In that case, welcome back... navigator!

[ARLONG laughing]

I'm sorry.

You had a truly horrific experience.

[SANJI] That's right! And she has you to thank!

[NAMI] I did.

It was a nightmare.

Nothing will ever make me change the way I feel

about Arlong.

That said...

Until two years ago,

when we made the trip to Sabaody,

I had no idea that even the strongest of Fishmen

were routinely persecuted by humans.

When Camie was kidnapped and we tried to save her,

I couldn't believe what I saw.

There was Sabaody Park, right in front of me.

The spitting image of Arlong Park before it was destroyed.

[HACHI] We wanted a place all our own.

I'm not saying this to make you forgive any of us.

But it's true!

Oh, Nami. Arlong... He really hated humans!

Too much.

[ARLONG] Heh.

[HACHI] Yes. We went too far.

But for as long as I can remember,

we yearned for the world that the humans lived in.

Above the sea!

Arlong. Me. All of us.

Our jealousy drove us to hurt people like you.

[grunts]

Wait! Take it easy!

I'll go prep some more medicine.

Please lie down.

[HACHI groans]

I heard...

...my people weren't considered anything

more than fish way back when.

Then 200 years ago, the Ryugu Kingdom

became a member country of the World Government.

They established friendly relations with humans,

and their king was even allowed to participate

in the World Summit.

But, despite that, humans still had hate in their hearts.

[DEN] The beginning of the Great Pirate Era

was probably the worst time in my life.

It was hard to be a Fishman.

I vividly remember my fear.

Human pirates running wild on the island.

Anywhere you went seemed dangerous.

So much violence.

I'll never forget.

[CROWD yelling]

[DEN] Our only safe place in the world was taken over

by humans.

Then came that fateful day.

Whitebeard arrived on the island and saved us.

[PIRATES gasp]

[JIMBEI] He made his powerful presence felt,

claiming Fishman Island as his own.

Because of him, peace returned to our home.

However, humans continued to be prejudiced towards Fishmen.

All of you saw it firsthand at the Sabaody Archipelago.

That's the cruel reality.

Naturally, once someone attains power,

they tend to be resistant to change.

Even though the Government theoretically bridged

the gap between Fishmen and humans,

the worst bigots were the people in control to begin with.

The ones who should be leading by example!

Thus, the relationship between Fishmen

and humans remained the same.

Thankfully, two individuals rose up on Fishman Island.

Individuals who would help change the course

of our beleaguered history.

The first...

...was Queen Otohime.

She believed we islanders could live in harmony

with humans.

She was Princess Shirahoshi's mother.

Then there was him, the legendary hero

named Fisher Tiger.

Who freed countless slaves.

That Tiger guy, huh?

Think I've heard the name before.

To set himself apart from the humans,

Tiger broke an unspoken rule.

Invading the holy land of Marie Jois by himself,

and freeing the slaves within.

He would go on to form the Sun Pirates.

Many of its members were Fishmen

who were formerly slaves of the Nobles.

Sun Pirates?

Indeed!

You know them as Arlong, Hachi, and myself.

The three of us were part of the very first crew

of the Sun Pirates.

But we were known as Fishman Pirates,

foes of the World Government.

That's all that they saw.

Therefore, we made it that much more difficult

for Queen Otohime.

Bless her heart.

Our existence prevented much progress.

Queen Otohime was trying to navigate great hardships

and improve our future.

At the same time,

Fisher Tiger threw his future away to save those

of his race who were suffering as slaves.

No one can say who was right or wrong.

Nevertheless,

they both fought for a better future for Fishmen and humans.

Each one is a legend.

And both of their tales end in tragedy.

[NARRATOR] Queen Otohime tries to lead the Ryugu Kingdom

into an era of coexistence between humans and Fishmen.

Meanwhile, a heroic Fisher Tiger battles humans

to free their slaves from captivity.

When the tales of these two historic figures cross,

for better or for worse,

the fate of Fishman Island will be immeasurably changed.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"A Hero Who Freed the Slaves! An Adventurer Tiger!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
