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] The first stop on Luffy's journey

is Fishman Island, thousands of feet below sea level,

where his crew becomes involved in a civil war.

Meeting Jimbei, they learn of the events

that led to the conflict.

He tells a tale of the Fishman Pirates,

the island's brave queen, and its hero, Fisher Tiger.

[inaudible]

[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!

No matter how far the journey...

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

[LUFFY] "The Death of the Hero! A Shocking Truth of Tiger!"

[SUN PIRATE D] It took a while,

but we finally got an Eternal Pose to Koala's hometown!

[HACHI] Nyu! You hear that, Koala?

You can go back to your family!

[KOALA] Um, really?

[laughs]

Well, aren't you pretty! Your parents will be proud

to see what a fine young lady you've become.

I don't look silly?

[SUN PIRATES laugh]

We got rid of those old rags of yours.

You don't want them back, right?

[KOALA grunts]

You may feel awkward at first,

but I promise your mom'll be happy.

I should clean.

Nyu! You gotta break that weird habit of yours, okay?

You're just a normal girl! This isn't Marie Jois!

Ah, just let her do what she wants.

[HACHI] Nyu?

[ALADDIN] The girl was traumatized.

You can't expect her to stop that easily.

These things take time.

Sorry.

You should listen to Aladdin.

He would know.

[ALADDIN growls]

Because you were a slave once yourself, weren't you?

But those feelings might be better served if you killed her.

[KOALA gasps]

Former slave or not, she's human.

Just like the ones who owned you.

I think we've heard enough, Arlong.

Let me ask you a little question. Tell me the truth.

Even though we spared your life,

I bet your parents don't give a damn about Fishmen.

[TIGER grunts]

[laughing]

Humans think they're superior to everyone!

That's why there's no point in saving

a so-called "innocent child," because all of them are guilty!

She'll go home, and she'll learn to hate us.

It won't stop until we stop them!

Until we take them down a peg!

[ARLONG] But you know that, right?

You've seen the way they look at us, haven't you?

The fear, the contempt in their eyes.

If it were my decision,

they would all be five feet under right now.

[TIGER grunts]

Some humans, but hardly all of them.

[gasps]

[SUN PIRATES grunt]

I think you need to look closer.

Is that so?

I see fear, but that is not the same as contempt.

Is it because we're pirates?

[KOALA gasps]

Why are you so afraid of us?

'Cause I... I don't know much about you.

I've heard that before.

[OTOHIME] It's true that our only exposure

to humans has been negative.

But, that doesn't mean we can judge all humans the same!

Fear comes from ignorance.

[HACHI] Koala, let's play a game.

[KOALA grunts]

[HACHI] See if you can figure out which hand it's in.

There. Okay, guess!

[KOALA] Um, that one?

[HACHI grunts] Nope! Too bad! Here it is!

[SUN PIRATES laugh]

'Kay, one more try.

All right. Watch close.

[gasps]

[HACHI] Now guess!

[KOALA] Uh... this one?

[HACHI] Aw, so close!

[SUN PIRATES laugh]

[JIMBEI] Then, just as she started to open up to the crew,

we reached her last stop--

Foolshout Island, her hometown, at last, as promised.

[TIGER] This is it, Koala. Time to bid the ship farewell.

[gasps]

[TIGER] Where's your home village?

[KOALA] Huh?

Come on. I'll walk you to the entrance at least.

[KOALA] Okay!

--[ALL crying] --[MACRO] Don't go, Koala!

You can keep sailing with us!

[GYARO] You're a good girl, Even if you're human!

Would you pull it together?

[SUN PIRATES crying]

[KOALA] I'll tell the whole village how great you guys are!

I'll let everyone know that Fishmen are nice and not scary!

[SUN PIRATES cheering]

I'll miss you! So long!

Thanks for helping me!

Bye! Good luck out there!

[KOALA laughs]

[TIGER] Hmm?

[giggles]

[gasps]

[KOALA giggling]

[TIGER grunts]

[sighs]

[ARLONG] You think she's cute now,

but she'll be a Fishman-hating bigot soon enough.

Arlong! You take that back!

Ah? Jimbei!

Enough. All right?

Always so noble.

Funny, three years ago, you weren't like this.

What's that?

Don't be a fool.

One girl telling her village that "Fishmen are nice"

isn't gonna change a thing.

Just like poor Queen Otohime.

No one will listen, and no one will give a damn.

[JIMBEI grunts] Huh?

It's Koala!

She came back! Look, it's your daughter!

Come and see for yourself!

It is her!

Yeah...

[KOALA] Hey, guys!

[MAN A] Hurry! Go and tell her hello!

Koala.

You're home!

[KOALA] Mom...

[KOALA'S MOM crying]

[KOALA gasps]

[KOALA sobbing]

I'm so glad you're back!

I missed you so much!

[BOTH crying]

[KOALA] Mom, I love you!

[KOALA] This is the best day.

[MAN C] Hey, that's the captain of the Sun Pirates!

[MAN D] Fisher Tiger?

Fishmen are bad guys, aren't they? I'm scared.

[MAN E] Shh!

[TIGER grunts]

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

I know you had an awful time, but you'll be safe with me now.

Some good things happened, too.

The Nobles were mean, but I also made friends.

[KOALA'S MOM gasps]

Everyone said Fishmen are bad,

but that's 'cause they don't know them!

I met a whole bunch of nice Fishmen!

[KOALA'S MOM] I... think you're confused right now.

[KOALA] Mm-mm!

They're the ones who brought me here!

I sailed for a long time with Uncle Tiger and all his friends!

If you got to know them, you'd like them, too!

That's all it takes!

[KOALA] Uncle Tiger! You can't sneak off yet!

Thanks! I'll miss you! Take care now!

I'll never forget you! Not for the rest of my life!

And I won't forget Hachi or Aladdin either!

Even if we never see each other again,

in my heart, we'll always be friends, okay?

I learned a lot! Thank you!

[TIGER] I know these things happen slowly,

but by the time you grow up,

I hope our people can finally get along.

[TIGER grunts]

Ah, ha. There you are-- Fisher Tiger of the Sun Pirates.

I'm Rear Admiral Strawberry.

We were informed that you might be stopping on this island.

That girl was property of the Celestial Dragons,

but we're going to look the other way on that matter--

at least for the time being.

[STRAWBERRY] That is to say, the village elders were more

than willing to sell you out as long as we spared her.

Do you know why I'm here?

You must, so I won't waste your time.

This is rather generous, all things considered,

but you're facing two charges:

Assault and escape.

[TIGER grunts]

[TIGER gasping]

[gunfire]

What the...? What in the hell is going on?

It's from the same direction Boss was headed.

[JIMBEI] Surely, they wouldn't attack him.

[MACRO gasps]

[SUN PIRATE E] Look! Out at sea!

[ALL] Huh?

[CHOO] Choo! It's the Navy!

We're surrounded!

What're they doing here?

[ARLONG] It was a damn trap!

[BOTH gasp]

The brat was nothing but a ploy to lure us here.

They played us for fools.

We show them an ounce of kindness and this happens!

See? Humans are monsters!

[SUN PIRATES yelling]

Those bastards!

Wait, no.

It must be Tiger they want!

Hey!

[ARLONG] Huh?

You guys, guard the boat! I'm gonna go save the boss.

Good! We finally agree!

When you stop yappin' and start throwin' punches,

I know you won't let me down!

[JIMBEI] I'll take that as a compliment. Let's go!

[SUN PIRATES shouting]

Hey, Arlong, sir!

This is bad. The ship is gonna sink!

Jump in the sea!

[ARLONG] Our ship's done for! Let's hijack one of theirs!

[SUN PIRATES shouting]

[TIGER grunts]

[MARINE A groans]

[MARINES gasp]

[TIGER panting]

How is this monster still fighting back?

We're plugging him full of bullets

and he's just shrugging it off!

A monster?

[TIGER] You humans think I'm a monster?

We'll see!

Fire!

--[MEN, WOMEN cheering] --[KOALA gasps]

Did you hear that noise, Mom? It was loud.

[gasps] What noise?

I was right.

Boss!

Rear Admiral, sir! The Sun Pirates came to save Tiger!

I see, it's him. Yes.

Jimbei.

My friends... I'm sorry.

[SUN PIRATES] Boss!

Are you the one responsible for this?

I do it all for justice.

And justice demands I crush criminals like you!

[JIMBEI] Curse you!

[JIMBEI growls]

Do you want to die with your captain?

You're not as strong as you think, human!

[JIMBEI] We were able rescue our boss from the Marines,

as planned, and although our ship was sunk during battle,

Arlong was able to secure a new one from the enemy.

Then...

[SUN PIRATES] What?!

[HACHI] What do ya mean ya don't want a transfusion?

Are you crazy? You don't have time!

You're gonna die!

You've lost far too much blood.

Whatever your feelings are, you must reconsider!

The boss has a very rare blood type.

No one on the crew is compatible,

so we need another option.

The blood they have stocked on the ship

wouldn't be from Fishmen.

[groans]

It would be human.

So, what? It should work.

Humans and Fishmen share the same blood.

We found your type as well.

So, it's settled, all right?

[TIGER groans]

Now just relax. You're all good.

Get away!

[SUN PIRATES gasp]

I would rather die than live with their blood!

[TIGER] I won't put that filth in my body.

The blood of the bastards who tried to kill me.

Damn it, no.

I won't take their mercy.

I will not owe them.

I won't give in to any human! I won't!

[TIGER panting]

What happened?

Something changed for you to say this.

I didn't want to tell you guys this.

But I...

...on my last trip...

[JIMBEI] That was quite a lengthy voyage you took!

[TIGER] Yeah, an eventful one, too.

[NEPTUNE] Tell me.

Why are you so adamant about this?

What did you see on your trip?

I saw human nature.

Soon after I started off on my journey...

...they captured me.

[SUN PIRATES gasp]

In Marie Jois... they made me...

[crying]

I was...

...a damn slave!

Boss, no!

[ARLONG, ALADDIN, MACRO gasping]

Tiger!

[TIGER] I saw true human corruption...

...true depravity.

I barely escaped, but then...

...I kept thinking about those other slaves,

so I went back.

Listen to me.

I lived how I chose to--

against Otohime's will.

But, I still believe in her.

[TIGER] I still believe that she's right.

Everyone wants peace.

Humans and Fishmen alike.

But our generation can't bring that peace.

We're bound to an ugly past.

Only children like Koala,

free of that history can change the world.

Please you can't tell them.

You... have to... hold it in.

Our tragedy and our hatred.

They must die with us...

No, it's all wrong.

You heard me!

[panting]

Some humans... are kind.

They know... we're not so different.

I know it, too.

And because I've met so many compassionate humans,

I realize it's foolish to leave nothing but hatred

as legacy when I die.

But even though my mind understands that,

there is a devil in my heart that cannot forgive--

that fills me with rage.

My very flesh rejects them.

It rejects their blood!

[TIGER] Despite all that I've fought for,

I cannot love them.

I'm sorry!

However you feel, you can work it out when this is all done.

For now, I'm begging you, just live!

Listen, Boss. You're a hero.

Those slaves that you set free, they owe you their very lives.

Please, Boss, you can't die, not like this!

To every slave and every Fishman,

you're a symbol of hope!

Then I'm happy.

[TIGER] You're still not strong enough.

Damn it!

You have to step in front of your men with your whole body.

Do that, you protect them.

Huh? Why would I--

[JIMBEI groans]

[ARLONG] Jimbei!

[TIGER] If there's no one else who can challenge me,

I'm the new leader of the Fishman District!

Call me, Tiger!

We're all brothers now.

Your blood is my blood,

so I swear that I'll protect it!

I'll fight for the lives of every Fishman!

[TIGER groans]

[SUN PIRATES gasp]

[SUN PIRATES crying]

[SUN PIRATES] No!

[NARRATOR] Fisher Tiger's death comes as a great shock to all.

In the aftermath of his demise, Fishmen are left wondering

if they can truly coexist with humans.

While Jimbei vows to uphold Tiger and Otohime's ideals,

Arlong's resentment grows.

It's only a matter of time before

the Sun Pirates face a crisis of identity.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Sun Pirates Split! Jimbei vs. Arlong!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
