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.

[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] During their journey to the New World,

Luffy and his crew arrive on the Fishman Island,

which is located 10,000 meters below sea level.

The Fishman Pirates, led by Hordy Jones

and assisted by Vander Decken, plot to overthrow King Neptune.

[NARRATOR] It's not long before the Straw Hats

get pulled into the conflict.

After traveling to the Sea Forest and meeting with Jimbei,

Luffy and his crew learn of the tumultuous history

of Fishman Island that, even today,

continues to shape the kingdom.

[LUFFY] "Kizaru Appears! A Trap to Catch Tiger!"

[JIMBEI] And that's what started it all.

Fisher Tiger's attack on the Holy Land of Marie Jois,

and the formation of the Sun Pirates.

These momentous events--they shaped the future of my people.

[NEPTUNE] It's hard to believe he really went through with it.

[NEPTUNE sighs] His actions have only

created more problems for Fishman Island.

It will be quite some time before

we're welcomed back to the World Summit.

I don't even know where to begin to fix this.

[OTOHIME] But we share the blame.

Remember, we just couldn't bring ourselves to stop him.

[NEPTUNE] Tell me, why are you so adamant about this?

What did you see on your trip?

I saw human nature!

[OTOHIME] Because I understood the depth of his suffering...

...the scream of his soul-- it was unbearable.

[NEPTUNE] Hmm.

[FISHMAN M] Extra, extra! Read all about it!

Wow! He's such a badass!

Fighting the Celestial Dragons? Talk about balls!

Yeah, that makes it official! Fisher Tiger is a true hero!

Whoa. A Fishman's gonna wind up in the history books!

Listen! Gather around!

Hey, it's Queen Otohime.

What is it now?

We have cowered, and hid, and run--and yet for what?

What have we gained from this?

What good has this path done for our people?

We can't simply turn our backs on the entire world,

to cut off all humans-- it will doom us.

Some humans are bad, yes, but not all of them!

Now...

...we must learn to live in harmony with humanity!

And together we can grow with them

under the bright, nourishing sun!

Grow with them, huh?

Yeah. That's just too much to ask.

Hey! You two!

[FISHMEN gasp]

[FISHMAN F, FISHMAN E gasp]

Sign here!

B-But I can't. I'm sorry.

Please. The whole island--

Tiger's a hero to us for what he did, y'know?

It's just...

...we know his actions might turn the humans against us,

but it's their fault. They brought it on themselves.

So, we can't sign.

I know how you feel, but in 7 years or even 15 years?

You have to think about that future!

There will come a day when we will be able to participate

in the World Summit again!

You have to sign! For our future! I'm begging you!

[HORDY] I'm telling you, Fisher Tiger gets it!

This is how you represent the Fishman District!

He went head to head with the Celestial Dragons!

And he freakin' won!

[ALL gasp]

[ZEO] Way to stick it to those disgusting humans!

It's just like Arlong used to say,

the only good human is a dead one!

[DARUMA laughs]

Yeah! Now put 'em in their place!

The Sun Pirates are so cool!

I mean, sailing the sea and slammin' the dosun down

on every dumb human they meet! It's awesome!

You know what?

If we were a little stronger, then I bet we could join 'em!

We'll get strong! Then we will!

Take back the sea, Sun Pirates! Kill all those worthless humans!

[GROUP] Yeah!

[laughing]

[ALL laughing]

[HACHI] Hey, boss! Boss, there's an enemy ship!

Boss! Hey!

Hey! Guys!

Did ya hear me?

We've got a crisis!

Shut up, Hachi. Crap.

Calm down. Just tell us what's going on.

[TIGER] Well, this is troubling. Is it the Navy?

Must be. They were flying their flag out there.

All right. What's next?

War.

[KADAR] There's no mistake! Those are the Sun Pirates.

Kill Fisher Tiger!

[laughs]

Real nice aim there!

[SUN PIRATES shouting]

Fire!

[KADAR] What're you doing? Shoot them dead!

[MARINE B] We're trying, but they're swimming too fast!

[ARLONG laughs]

[MARINE C gasps]

[SUN PIRATES yelling]

[MARINES groaning]

[MARINES groan]

[MARINES gasp]

[MARINES groan]

Pardon me, gents.

[KUROOBI grunts]

You Fishman bastards!

Return the slaves! Dammit! Surrender!

If you play ball, they'll drop the charges!

[MARINES yelling]

R-Rear Admiral!

Th-They're bursting up through the bottom of the ship!

What?

[SUN PIRATES, MARINES grunting]

[laughing]

[MARINE L yells]

[MARINE M] You fools!

Give us back the slaves and this will end!

Do you even realize the serious crime you've committed?

How dare you turn on humans!

Know your place, you disgusting Fishmen!

What was that? Go on now.

Let's hear you say that again!

[MARINE M whimpers]

[JIMBEI grunts]

Please, somebody help me.

So, slavery's perfectly legal, but freeing slaves is a crime?

And Queen Otohime thinks you deserve a chance.

Not that you'd give us one.

[MARINES groaning]

[TIGER grunts]

[MARINES yelling]

[TIGER grunts]

Now! Fire!

[TIGER] Hmm?

Blow him to pieces, men!

We know that you're hiding the slaves!

And now, you're gonna die for the havoc you've wrought!

Whoa, what the hell?

[TIGER] These slaves you mentioned...

[KADAR] He's... He's a monster!

[MARINES scream]

[TIGER yells]

[KADAR groans]

What proof do you possibly have that we're hiding them on board?

Go on and check all of us if you want to,

but from what I understand,

these slaves should have a brand on them.

Do you see that mark on any of us?

[KADAR] Wait, stop! Put me down!

[KADAR yelling] Help me!

[KADAR yelling]

[whimpering]

--[TIGER grunts] --[KADAR yelps]

I won't kill you. Don't worry.

I'm not a savage like you.

All right, guys.

Take all their money and food and get back to the ship!

[laughing]

[ARLONG] Being human is a sin.

And so, you were born deserving execution.

[laughs]

No! Stop!

[ARLONG] Drop dead!

[MARINE S yelps]

[STRAWBERRY] Vice Admiral,

Rear Admiral Kadar from the G2 Branch has been defeated.

[KIZARU] Oh? Why did he engage them?

I only wanted a report on their current whereabouts.

If you get close enough to see them, well,

that's apparently all it takes

before their entire crew surrounds you in the water.

Oh, scary. Fishmen... Guess we should've expected that.

Okay. Do you have any intel you can share?

Well, way it looks, Arlong and his men are part of the crew.

And they were responsible for the raids in the area

surrounding Fishman Island.

But we have yet to fight them on land,

so it's hard to tell how strong they are.

Arlong... Right, I've heard of him.

There's another dangerous one on their crew.

He's as big as Fisher Tiger and just as brutal.

Didn't catch his name.

[KIZARU] Well, sounds like a real mess.

--[thud] --[ARLONG] Ow, that hurt!

[SUN PIRATES laughing]

What's the big deal?

Why the hell do you care

if we kill one or two of those inferior creatures?

It's not about them. You're both going too far.

Look, we're not a group of killers, we're better than that,

and don't you forget it.

But, look, Brother. Sorry, I mean, Boss.

These humans have no such compunction.

They are actively out to kill you.

So, can you blame us?

Of course, we might go too far from time to time. We're mad!

Do you want to be like the humans?

Killing someone is to kill a part of your own soul!

We are not seeking revenge for the discrimination here,

and that's not what Marie Jois was about, either.

I might have broken that stupid, unspoken rule,

but I only did it to free those slaves.

The Sun Pirates are driven by

the idea of liberation and freedom,

not spiteful retribution.

Seeking vengeance against the humans

only creates a vicious cycle.

Violence begets violence,

and I will not be responsible for more tragedy.

We'll end up condemning the next generation

of Fishmen to war with humanity.

[TIGER] Can't you see that?

We will fight and rob those who come after us.

But we won't cross the line.

We will not become killers!

Listen, Brother!

I think you're overlooking one simple fact.

Violence always begets violence, you say?

Well, not if they're all dead.

Who's gonna fight back if we kill them?

We'll massacre the animals

and force all of the women and children to watch,

terrifying the idea of revenge right out of their minds.

All we have to do is show them

how powerful and ruthless we can be!

And then they'll be paralyzed with terror!

They will never--

What the hell is your problem?

[SUN PIRATES laughing]

[TIGER] That you, Jimbei?

[JIMBEI] Arlong's a hothead who seems

to strive to make a nuisance of himself.

I don't blame him.

Truth is, I've got no right to cast any judgment on the guy.

I didn't mean...

[TIGER] Jimbei.

It's great, what Queen Otohime's trying to accomplish.

Though, understandably, to her,

there's no difference between Arlong and me.

[TIGER grunts]

Honestly, there's only one thing that I'm really afraid of--

my own mind.

It's taken me all these years

to understand why he told me that...

...what he meant.

[HACHI] Up ahead! There's a pirate ship!

[SUN PIRATE AA] Looks like a big one.

[SUN PIRATE BB] I'm guessin' they wanna take us

on to prove themselves.

We're really wrackin' up the enemies.

Well, I say we sink their ship. Best to make an example of them.

We were engaged in combat on a daily basis--

criminals hunted by the World Government.

Meanwhile, Queen Otohime waged her own

stubborn form of battle against the world.

[OTOHIME] Sign here!

[FISHMEN] No! We won't! We don't wanna live with humans!

Please sign!

Hey!

The government put out a bounty on Boss Tai and Jimbei!

Seriously?

[SUN PIRATE CC] Wow, 230 million Berries!

[SUN PIRATE DD] Jimbei's got 76 million on his head!

[IKAROS] Wanted posters!

Look, they raised the reward on them again!

[ZEO] Even the World Government is scared of them!

[chuckles] They're gonna sink the entire Navy!

[panting, gasps]

I need you to sign it!

Let me go, Your Majesty!

[JIMBEI] The next three years unfolded in a similar manner.

And then one day, we came across a young girl on an island.

[OLD MAN A] Mister...

We could use your help with something.

[TIGER] Hmm?

[OLD MAN A] This girl here,

she escaped from Marie Jois with the rest of us

back when you liberated us from slavery three years ago.

Here, look.

[TIGER grunts]

She... hasn't seen her parents in many years,

and her home's far away.

We would like to help. I'm sure they miss her,

but it's highly doubtful we can safely cross the ocean.

[KOALA] I'm Koala and I'm 11 years old.

Thanks for saving me.

I'll do my best not to cause you any more trouble.

[ARLONG] I know she's a kid, but she's still a disgusting human!

Why the hell would you let her on board with us?

[TIGER] Just drop it, Arlong.

I'll drop this ugly brat! Quit smiling, dammit!

Arlong, no!

--[thud] --[KOALA yelps]

Calm down!

Let go, Hachi! I'm not done yet!

He's right. It is creepy how she won't stop smiling.

[KOALA gasps]

[HACHI] Huh?

[ARLONG] What are you...?

[KOALA] I'm sorry! I'm a hard worker!

I'll clean and I don't need to take a break!

So please don't hit me!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'll give it my best.

Stop.

[KOALA] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'll clean it.

You're... bleeding.

[KOALA] I'm sorry!

I promise that I'll never cry.

Just please don't kill me.

[JIMBEI] Huh?

It's all right. Are you scared of us?

[KOALA] Yes, but I really miss my mother.

So, I made myself get on board.

[KOALA] I won't stop cleaning.

I know if I do, you'll think I'm useless and kill me.

But I'm a hard worker, so please let me live.

Well, what d'ya expect? The kid was raised a slave.

Think about what she's seen.

I'm sure plenty of her friends got killed,

and probably just for crying,

or getting caught taking a break.

She's spent her whole life bein' afraid that she might be next.

Can ya blame her for not trusting anyone?

[SUN PIRATE EE] Boss?

[KOALA] Please don't kill me. I'll do anything.

I promise I'll be good!

Pick up this brat. I want her brought to my room.

What's he doin' in there?

[SUN PIRATE FF] Lecturing her won't do any good.

The poor kid's too far gone.

[KOALA screams]

[SUN PIRATE GG] Boss! What're you doin' to her?

[KOALA gasps]

[KOALA grunts]

Bandage her!

It may have hurt, but she'd never get past

the pain of being a slave with that mark on her.

[HACHI] Hey, kid! You still alive?

[KOALA grunting]

Oh, good, you're awake.

[KOALA] Oh. I guess I passed out. I'm sorry!

But, but I didn't cry, did I? So you don't need to kill me.

I promise you, I'll never cry!

So please, let me live!

[KOALA gasps]

It's okay for you to cry!

[KOALA gasps]

We are nothing like those evil Celestial Dragons.

So, don't you dare act like we are.

Now watch.

[gasps]

No killing--not now, not ever!

[TIGER] Is everyone with me?

[SUN PIRATES] Yeah!

No matter how far the journey...

...we're taking this girl back home!

[SUN PIRATES cheering]

[KOALA crying]

[KOALA wailing]

[NARRATOR] After a long voyage,

Tiger finally brings Koala back to her hometown.

As the young girl bids her pirate companions farewell,

Tiger has hope that the future may bring

peace between humans and Fishmen.

Unfortunately, Tiger's past soon catches up with him

and he leaves his crew with a sobering final command.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Death of the Hero! A Shocking Truth of Tiger!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
