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.

After meeting with Jimbei in the Sea Forest,

they learn of the island's hero, Fisher Tiger, who freed

the slaves from Marie Jois and formed the Sun Pirates.

However, when he faced an untimely death,

his crew was left to pick up the pieces of his dream.

[SUN PIRATES crying]

[SUN PIRATES] No!

[LUFFY] "The Sun Pirates Split! Jimbei vs. Arlong!"

[JIMBEI] That is how our captain and our hero met his end--

not in triumph, but in tragedy.

It is etched into my mind-- a scene that will never fade.

[JIMBEI] Tiger's death...

I believe you all know how painful it was for us.

Suddenly, we were a crew without a captain.

We felt so lost, and then we began to splinter apart.

[thud]

[HACHI grunting]

Arlong! Please stay back!

Don't hurt any humans? What a load of crap!

See what happens to us when we show them mercy?

Get offa me!

[HACHI groans]

[ARLONG] Brother Tai, he was a damn fool!

You're wrong!

[ARLONG grunts]

Wait! No!

Arlong!

Sorry, Tiger, but you're wrong.

I'll never forgive them!

[MARINES groan]

All right, you punks! Get ready to die!

A Fishman? He must be from--

[ARLONG laughs]

[MARINE groans]

[ARLONG laughing]

He's awful noisy, isn't he?

[ARLONG groans]

[KIZARU] Arlong, was it?

[KIZARU] So what brings you here?

You wanna start trouble that bad?

[ARLONG gasps]

Not too smart if you ask me.

Outta my way!

I'm goin' after all the lousy humans who betrayed my captain!

And you Navy scum can't stop me!

[KIZARU] Oh, so this is about revenge.

Damn straight! You killed Fisher Tiger!

I don't care what happens to me, but you deserve to die!

Oh, so your friend is dead. I see.

[ARLONG gasps]

[KIZARU] Well, you can cry if you like,

but either way, you're coming with me now.

[ARLONG growls]

Arlong was enraged by Brother Tiger's death.

He took his anger out on humans, and was imprisoned as a result.

There, his hatred grew.

[TRANSPONDER SNAIL buzzing]

If he had a transfusion, he'd be fine!

Instead, he had to die because they refused to treat Fishmen!

He brought that little girl back to her family,

and you repaid that by killing him!

[JIMBEI] "Fisher Tiger, Captain of the Sun Pirates,

Dies After Being Denied a Transfusion of Human Blood."

Not quite, though it is close.

Regardless, the captain's dead, and humans played a big role.

Arlong lied to them.

Why would he do such a thing?

Good for him. The truth is a lot worse.

Tiger chose to save that girl despite his own prejudice.

Yet humans still betrayed him,

so he coldly refused to accept their blood.

On top of that, he was a slave.

If any of this became public,

they would have attacked Tiger's character,

so let Arlong tell his little white lies.

[HACHI] Nyu!

Hey! Captain Jimbei! Enemy ship ahead!

The boss may not be with us,

but we still have to keep moving forward!

Prepare yourselves!

Follow Tiger's wishes and do not kill anyone!

[SUN PIRATES] Yeah!

[JIMBEI] From that day forward,

I bore the title "First Son of the Sea,"

and fought to do my best as Captain of the Sun Pirates.

Though in truth, fighting seemed to be

the only thing our crew was doing.

[NEPTUNE] "I am writing this because

I thought that the two of you deserved to know

the whole truth about what happened."

Signed, "Jimbei, Captain of the Sun Pirates."

My mind's made up.

[NEPTUNE] In the end,

Fisher Tiger lived the only way that he knew how.

Poor soul.

I finally understand the pain that he felt that day.

As their leader, I must remain strong.

I won't give in!

We too shall live under the sun,

and try to understand one another!

If I may...

Signing here is the first step to harmony!

With all due respect, Queen Otohime,

you must be out of your mind!

Fisher Tiger freed countless slaves, both Fishman and human!

He didn't care about what race they were!

Yet humans still refused to help him!

Who cares about understanding?

[OTOHIME] Another fruitless day without any signatures.

[GROUP] Mother!

My sweet children!

Hey, Mother? Are you okay?

[MANBOSHI, RYUBOSHI] Yeah, what's wrong? You look so sad!

Mother, you really need some rest!

Aww.

You children brighten my day.

I'm fine. Don't worry!

Okay, I won't!

[ALL] If you say so, Mother!

I'll keep doing my best...

...to make this world a better place for everyone!

[JIMBEI] Queen Otohime was working so hard, day after day.

[JIMBEI] She rescued humans from shipwrecks.

[MEN groaning]

[AMMO KNIGHT A] Are you all right?

[AMMO KNIGHT B] Pirates must have hit them.

[MAN A groans] Please help me.

[OTOHIME] Don't worry, we're here.

Bring the wounded to the island!

[JIMBEI] She taught the island children about the world above.

[OTOHIME] Does anybody remember

what this area with many trees is called? You, there!

[MERCHILD A] Forest, like the Sea Forest!

[JIMBEI] And collected signatures.

[BOTH whimper]

[OTOHIME] Please wait!

[BOTH panting]

[OTOHIME] I just need a moment of your time!

[JIMBEI] However...

[FISHMAN G] Queen Otohime!

Oh! Hello, again!

Thank you for showing your support the other day!

Actually, about that...

We're curious...

How many signatures do you have?

Well, I've been collecting them for five years now.

One hundred sheets have been signed,

with each containing ten signatures.

So that adds up to 1,000 supporters!

Still, the population of the island is five million

so we're not done yet.

Step by step, right?

[FISHMAN G] Um...

We have kind of a big favor to ask.

We'd like to withdraw our signatures.

They total about half of what you have.

Does that... sound okay?

Huh?

You must not have heard about it, but...

...those human pirates that you rescued the other day...

[FISHMAN H] ...they committed a robbery in town

before escaping from the island.

Your Majesty...

Queen Otohime!

Oh, hello, children! Are you ready for another lesson yet?

[CHILDREN shouting]

[FISHBOY A] 'Scuse me.

My mom wants that paper I signed the other day back!

I found it! Yeah! Got it, Mommy!

[CHILDREN shouting, laughing]

[gasps]

May I help you?

I do hope there's no hard feelings,

what with you being the queen and all.

We just can't do it. Humans are too evil.

[MERMAN A] We'll pass on the speeches, too.

[FISHMAN K] Yeah. Sorry about all this.

[FISHMAN L] We've just had enough.

[RYUBOSHI, MANBOSHI] Ah!

[SHIRAHOSHI giggles] Surprise, Mommy!

Did we scare you?

[OTOHIME yawns] What an exhausting day!

I think I might have overdone it a bit out there.

I'm sorry, sweeties,

but could you give your mother some alone time today?

Huh?

[OTOHIME crying]

[sobbing]

[NEPTUNE] Mm...

[loudspeaker blares]

[OTOHIME] You... [panting]

You're all... liars!

[FISHMEN, MERFOLK gasping, chattering]

[yells]

Your Majesty!

This is on the air! Everyone can hear you!

[OTOHIME hiccups]

Why don't you shaddup...

...Mister at the Left!

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] Majesty!

Have you been drinking?

Mind your bizness, got it?

Leaf me alone! I'm not... drunk at all.

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] Yes, you are! Goodness!

[MERMAN B] What's happening?

[FISHWOMAN B] Is that really Queen Otohime?

[OTOHIME] Everybody better lissen to me!

You can live however you want!

If that means staying in this island,

then I can't stop you, neither can anyone else!

But in the vastness of the ocean, so broad,

and on the seafloor, foreboding and dark.

[yells]

[OTOHIME] We chose this tiny place and this place alone!

Do you have any idea why?

Queen Otohime...

[OTOHIME] Isn't it because this is where

we can get a bit of sunlight? Where we can get a bit of air?

Luxuries down here are plentiful above ground!

Light illuminates the entire surface,

and the sky stretches out as far as you can see!

[OTOHIME] Our children--

why do they always sneak out to catch a glimpse of Sabaody Park?

Huh?

[OTOHIME crying]

Can't ya see?!

The world is filled with more beauty

than any of us can even imagine!

There's no place that we shouldn't be able to go.

Why restrict ourselves to this bubble?

I know you tell yourselves life down here is comfortable,

that you're safe.

Do you want to spend the rest of your lives trapped?

Dig deep! Summon your courage!

Once you have it, pursue your dreams!

No matter the cost!

[MINISTER OF THE LEFT] Your Majesty...

If humans stand in your way, we'll face them together!

You don't have to confront your fears alone!

And maybe then...

...we can finally make a difference for the future--

for our children, for the island.

Even if it's just a small one!

[OTOHIME crying]

It's rough. I left my family behind on Fishman Island.

My wife and kids.

Hope they're doin' okay.

[ALADDIN] Going home again isn't that simple. Not for us.

We're escaped slaves, and pirates to boot,

so we gotta put our own dreams on hold.

We might be stuck sailing for the rest of our lives.

[gasps] I'm sorry.

Y'know, I'm sure my family's doin' okay!

My goodness, you've seen better days.

[STRAWBERRY] He was formidable.

I see.

He certainly did a number on you, didn't he?

[STRAWBERRY] Arlong...

...the Fishman that we just locked up in Impel Down?

He was nothing...

...but you have to watch out for this one.

Jimbei!

[inaudible]

He's quite strong, even by Fishman standards.

He's far too dangerous at large. We should bring him in.

Huh...

[JIMBEI] Unbelievable!

Me, in the Seven Warlords?

Oh, it's not that surprising! You're worth 250 million.

With a bounty that big,

they definitely see you as a threat to the World Government!

That's the highest praise a pirate

can get from those chumps!

Macro's right! They're finally taking us seriously!

All you need to do is reject them!

That'll really help us pile on the notoriety!

No one will ever mess with us! Choo!

My mind is made up.

I'm going to take the Navy's offer.

[SUN PIRATES] What?!

[NEPTUNE] Welcome home, Jimbei!

I heard about the Seven Warlords proposal.

[JIMBEI] If I join, Aladdin and the other crew members

who do not wish to be pirates no longer have to be.

They can live in this country without fear of retribution.

It's a way for me to take care of my men.

But more importantly, if I do become a Warlord,

it will help the Fishmen become closer to the World Government.

We need that relationship.

I can atone for all the trouble that we've caused the queen.

[NEPTUNE] Mm... Thank you.

At the moment, she's... not feeling very well.

In the end, we might see Tiger's dream:

Liberation and freedom for all Fishmen, everywhere!

Though, then again, we'd have to watch our own.

There are some less deserving of amnesty.

[SUN PIRATES shouting]

[HACHI] Arlong! [laughs]

[SUN PIRATE G] Welcome back, buddy!

[CHOO] It's really you!

[SUN PIRATES shouting, cheering]

[JIMBEI grunts]

[JIMBEI] If you have something to say to me,

then you'd better speak up now!

You expect a thank you? For becoming a sell out?

You may have set me free, but the Navy owns you!

Have you forgotten what Brother Tai said before he died?

You mustn't let anger and bitterness overwhelm you!

Tch!

Sounds to me like you've gotten soft.

Sure, I'd probably be safer if I followed your lead,

but there's no way in hell I'm doing that!

You can't make me stay!

In case you forgot, Tiger is dead!

Which means I'm free-- free to lead my own crew!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking back my men.

Got a problem with that?

You fool. You damn ignorant fool.

Hey, now, enough with the name-calling.

Let's end this...

...right now, just you and me!

What? Arlong, no!

[ARLONG] If you don't do it, I'm free to go.

Fair warning--I won't go down easily.

You'll have to kill me!

Arrogant punk!

[ARLONG groaning]

Don't do this!

[chuckles]

[ARLONG] That's more like it!

[ARLONG growls]

[JIMBEI grunts]

[ARLONG groans]

[HACHI whimpers]

[HACHI] Please, stop it!

Jimbei, no!

[ARLONG groans]

[JIMBEI panting]

[JIMBEI] Do whatever you want!

[HACHI, CHOO] Arlong!

[ALADDIN] I wouldn't dwell on it.

There's nothing you could've done.

You've known each other since childhood, after all.

Like him or not, he's still like a brother to you.

And you're no killer.

He's blinded by hate.

He'll never understand what Tiger meant by his dying words!

[ALADDIN] It doesn't matter how far he goes.

As long as Arlong engages in violence,

the Navy will be after him.

Worse comes to worst--

we may have to stop Arlong ourselves one day, at any cost!

Only time will tell.

[MACRO] Look, I'd love to stay and chat, Captain Jimbei,

but we're headed out, too. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

[SUN PIRATE A] Macro, come back here!

If they want to leave, let 'em.

[MACRO] So long, suckers!

Damn it. He's stronger than I realized.

[HACHI] Nyu...

Hachi, you can't look back.

[HACHI whimpers]

The Sun Pirates split into three groups,

with Arlong, Macro, and myself as captains.

And ever since then,

we have continued going our separate ways.

[NARRATOR] Jimbei accepts a position

as a Warlord of the sea,

granting freedom to the Fishmen who fought beside him.

Returning home at long last,

they look forward to an era of peace led by Queen Otohime.

However, the appearance of a Celestial Dragon

places the future of their island in jeopardy.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"Shaking Fishman Island! A Celestial Dragon Drifts In!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
