Original subtitles

[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] After a series of fierce battles,

the Straw Hat Pirates have reached the waters

of the New World, ruled by the Four Emperors.

Responding to a distress signal,

they land on the island of Punk Hazard.

There they face off against the mad scientist, Caesar Clown.

When he unleashes a terrifying chemical weapon known as

"Land of the Dead," the Straw Hats barely survive.

Now, they dash through a massive laboratory

alongside their new ally, Trafalgar Law.

Their objective is to kidnap Caesar,

free his captives, and escape the island.

Jet Spear!

Through the floor?

[LUFFY chuckles]

[LUFFY yells]

[MONET] What tremendous power he has!

But that tumble is going to land him in the trash shoot which

leads straight to the garbage dump that's deep underground.

He won't be able to make it up here again unless he can fly.

He dug his own grave, so to speak. Hm-hm. So long!

[MONET laughs]

[LAW] My attack didn't work!

[LAW] I knew exactly how to get my heart back from Caesar,

but I didn't expect to see you here.

I should've guessed you were his lackey.

Don't you have better things to do? Well, Vergo?

Mr. Vergo!

[LAW yells]

[pants]

[VERGO] I'm kinda in the middle of something.

Does it have to be now...

...Vice Admiral Smoker?

[LUFFY] "Fists Collide!

A Battle of the Two Vice Admirals!"

[MONET] Mocha, there's no way you can eat all that

candy alone, so you might as well share it with the others.

Stop being greedy and do as your told.

Don't make your friends suffer.

No! I can't do that!

It's bad and we shouldn't eat it anymore!

My, you're a difficult girl.

Hey, you! What're you doing to these children?

[USOPP] Yeah!

You'd better tell us and make it snappy!

You don't know who you're messin' with, lady!

Actually, I am well aware.

You see. I do my research, so I know you all.

You're the infamous Straw Hat pirate crew.

The pleasure is all mine.

[grunts]

So... who're you?

[chuckles] I am Monet.

With the power of the Snow-Snow Fruit.

[ALL grunting]

[gasps] You two! Listen up. We don't have much time!

Go find Sea Prism Stone handcuffs!

I'll handle the kids. I can do my best to restrain them.

[USOPP] Sea Prism Stone handcuffs?

[BROOK] For what?

Luffy asked me to find some!

[BROOK, USOPP] Uh...

Well, guess we'd better go.

Then... you can count on me! I will find them!

I shall come with you! I must find Momonosuke!

[USOPP] Fine with me, let's get goin'!

[ZORO grunts]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

What're those? They look mighty ominous.

They are. But that's not your business.

[LAW grunts] Over here, damn it. I'm your opponent!

I'm not givin' up, not yet, anyway.

Bastard.

[LAW yells]

I've got other things to deal with first.

So shut up and lay there until I'm ready for you.

[grunts]

Vergo.

I don't want the rank and file to know the truth about you.

Got it?

These men. They look up to you like a father.

If they find out that you're a traitor, they'll be crushed.

'Specially if they learn you're one of Joker's dogs.

Well. Too late now.

[SMOKER] Huh?

They know it all. I saw them moments ago.

What did you do to them?

You'll see.

Vergo!

[VERGO] It looks like I hit a nerve.

Why're you getting so worked up, Smoker?

Don't tell me you're actually concerned about the welfare

of those Navy Misfits.

I am a base commander.

I can do what I want to my good-for-nothing subordinates.

It's a shame it had to end this way,

but now that you know my secret, I must kill you.

[SMOKER growls]

[SMOKER shouts]

[gasps]

[VERGO grunts]

I don't care how long you've known those men.

And honestly,

I don't even care if you are their base commander.

'Cause once a unit leaves the base, it's their commander

who's responsible for keeping them alive.

I'm warning you, don't ever lay a hand on my men!

No way! What happened?

[MARINE A shouts]

[MARINE B] Ow! There's no place to step!

The whole place is burnin' up! What now?

Let's hurry! Grab the injured and run!

Okay, c'mon men, we've gotta protect Tashigi!

The lovely lady--

[TASHIGI] What do you think you're doing?

Don't agree with him! He's our foe!

What? That's total crap!

Pirates are free to love who they want!

I gotta admit, Black Leg, you looked so cool

fightin' fake Vergo back there that watchin' you blast him

like that made my heart skip a beat!

Yeah, that was pretty sexy if you ask me.

Hey! Shut your traps!

You're not really helpin' me out here, y'know!

Stop acting like he's your friend!

Don't forget he's a pirate!

[MARINE A] Whoa! The tank just exploded!

[MARINE B] And it's caught fire!

Crap! Not good! It busted a hole in the wall!

Damn! Another explosion! What the hell is goin' on?

C'mon! Hurry!

What's the matter? You look a little pale.

Can ya blame me? See that purple stuff?

It's the poisonous gas from outside!

[MARINES] Oh, no!

[SANJI] Better start runnin' if you wanna live!

[MARINES shouting]

Help me!

[gasps]

The gas is traveling fast!

It won't be long before the whole building is filled!

[MARINE Q grunts]

[MARINE Q yells]

[SANJI] Get up, dumbass!

Go! Keep running, Tashigi!

You can't stop to think or you'll die!

Get outta here as fast as possible! Move!

[TASHIGI] Black Leg!

[SANJI] Let's go, men!

Pick up the pace or you're not gonna make it!

[gasps]

Hurry! Follow me, men!

[CAESAR CLOWN laughs]

I didn't have to lift a finger, and look,

those fools brought Land of the Dead inside for me!

But...

...it's too soon. My live demonstration is not done yet!

You! Listen up! Close the gates to C and D!

[SUBORDINATE A] Yes, sir! What about R?

Keep that one open!

Can't have them getting lost,

so we'll lure them to the building's first floor.

They're looking for Gate R-66

and the layout of this lab is confusing.

We wouldn't want them going the wrong way.

So we'll just have to guide them there.

[laughs]

Phew!

Well, that wasn't any fun.

[LUFFY] Hm. Where am I?

[LUFFY] Hm. It doesn't work. Is this a dump?

[LUFFY] I guess I fell all the way down

to the deep underground.

[grunts]

[stomach growls]

Ugh! Ah! I'm so hungry!

Makes sense.

I mean, I did do a lot of runnin' around today.

[LUFFY] There's gotta be somethin' to eat in here!

Aw, dammit! There's nothin' but trash!

[crashing]

[DRAGON yelps]

[DRAGON] Watch what you are doing, insolent fellow!

[LUFFY] Uh? Huh?

[DRAGON whimpers]

[LUFFY] H-Huh?

[CAESAR CLOWN] Hmph.

Curses. I loathe this stupid "secret room"!

Too bad, right? But once we're done, I'll be free.

And I'll never have to come here again.

The Straw Hats have overstayed their welcome.

I'd say it's time for them to be properly punished.

I've got Joker on my side.

And now I have the opportunity to kill all of them

in the ideal manner!

Master! We're awaiting orders! We're ready for combat!

Yes. But may I ask why you've summoned us here

to Vegapunk's former command room?

Wasn't he responsible for the accident four years ago?

We've got a score to settle with him, too!

Let's get 'em!

Why're we wastin' time standing around here

staring at each other?

I mean, shouldn't we be fighting?

No. Not yet.

You gentlemen are my backup plan.

You're the best soldiers I have!

So, I cannot risk losing you.

[gasps] Master!

Now, allow me to explain the plan to all of you.

As I said before, once the gates to C and D have been closed,

the only open routes through the laboratory

will lead to the first floor of Building R,

which is directly beneath us.

The Straw Hats, G-5, the children...

It doesn't matter whether they're friend or foe.

All of the survivors in the lab will be forced into that room.

The first floor has external vents

which can bring in outside air.

In other words,

we'll be able to fill the room with Land of the Dead!

There will be no way for them to escape!

They'll be stuck breathing that air!

It'll be like a giant gas chamber.

And soon, they will all die!

The best part is we'll be broadcasting it,

so my shadow brokers in the New World can witness the slaughter!

Then they'll respect me! They'll know my greatness!

[laughs]

Uh. I hate to ask this, but Master Caesar.

Huh?

I don't mean to doubt you or anything, sir,

but did you create the deadly poison gas?

Why, yes. I did.

[SUBORDINATES gasp]

[SUBORDINATES murmur]

Forgive me, Master.

It seems a lot like Vegapunk's gas.

The one from the accident four years ago, and thing is, Master,

it freaks us out.

It's awful.

[CAESAR CLOWN] Uh! Huh?

[CAESAR CLOWN grunts]

[CAESAR CLOWN whimpers]

[SUBORDINATES] Huh?

Uh, Master?

[CAESAR CLOWN whimpers] Dammit!

Just allow me to explain everything!

Please, men!

[SUBORDINATES gasp]

That day... It still haunts me!

Oh, how I tried to stop the mad scientist!

"No! What if this dangerous weapon exploded", I cried!

"Just think of all the innocent people who would be killed!"

"Please, Vegapunk! Don't do this!"

[CAESAR CLOWN] But there was no stopping him.

And now, he's the head of the Navy Science Division,

and he's widely considered the world's greatest scientist!

It's not fair! It should've been me!

I cannot accept it!

How could someone so heartless come to be praised

as the best of all?

Tell me, after what he's done,

does he still deserve to be called the greatest?

[SUBORDINATES gasp]

Master.

That's why... I must prove him wrong!

I don't want to create a weapon of mass murder,

but I'm afraid it must be done in order to prove

I am the greatest scientist in the world!

Please! Trust me!

[SUBORDINATES sob]

Once the Navy realizes that I deserve

to be their lead scientist, then I'll be fulfilled.

And I shall use my knowledge to bring peace and unity!

[SUBORDINATES sob]

Master!

[SUBORDINATE C] Forgive me, Master!

You're right! How could I doubt you?

I'm sorry!

Me, too! You are the god of salvation!

[SUBORDINATES sob] Master...! Master!

[SUBORDINATES] We love you! Master!

Why, thank you! I love you, too!

All of you!

[CAESAR CLOWN laughs]

[MARINE J] Don't do it, Caesar! Stop it!

I'm warning you! Shut it down!

[MARINE J] You're putting everyone on the island

in danger!

You realize if that weapon explodes,

innocent lives will be lost!

Shut up! Ignorant fool! This is a military testing site!

This is my job! Back off!

As you may know,

the Navy wants to kill as many pirates as they possibly can.

I'm simply creating a new weapon for them designed

to do just that!

It's dangerous! I'm sure your weapon will kill pirates,

but you know what else it'll do?

Kill a bunch of civilians!

[laughs]

Idiot! See, that's something called collateral damage.

If they don't evacuate, they deserve what's coming!

Wipe them all out and we'll finally have world peace!

[MARINES gasp]

How could you say that, Caesar? You're so--

What, you think I'm cruel? Perhaps, but so are you.

Think about it. You're using the prisoners as your guinea pigs.

Let's be honest, is there really a difference between them?

I think not.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku may be soft,

but Admiral Akainu, on the other hand...

I bet he would love one of my weapons.

Now scram! I don't need you interrupting my work.

[laughs] Vegapunk's just jealous, and I can't blame him.

I am a genius.

Besides, his silly human enlargement experiment

is nothing but a failure.

You'd need to be a real magician to make the human body

grow that much in such a short time.

I tried to tell him what to do.

What he needs is children. Those who are growing.

And fill them with drugs. I believe that's the only way.

[MARINES grunt]

No...

All right! Here we go!

[CAESAR CLOWN grunts, gasps]

What do you think you're doing?

Don't try to fight us!

How dare you manhandle me like this?

I've work to do!

I'm almost finished making a weapon so powerful

it's beyond comprehension!

[CAESAR CLOWN grunts] Vegapunk!

I demand to know the meaning of this!

[VEGAPUNK] You've been terminated

from the Science Division, Caesar.

You've gone too far this time. I can't cover for you anymore.

[growls] You've gotta be kidding me!

[MARINE P] No! Don't do it, Caesar!

[MARINES gasp]

[laughs]

[CAESAR CLOWN] What fools!

Vegapunk, the Navy, Straw Hat, my minions--

every one of them are as dumb as bricks.

No one even comes close to matching my intelligence.

All right! Let's get started!

[SUBORDINATE A] Closing the gate between C and B!

The gate between D and B is now closed!

That's it. The passageways between Buildings B, C, and D

have been secured, Master!

C'mon, run like hell, you guys!

[SMOKER, VERGO grunting]

[gasps]

Hold on, you can talk? Who the hell are you?

[DRAGON whimpers] I, uh....

Who am I? I am the one who should be asking that of you!

[NARRATOR] Deep inside the basement of the inescapable

Tower C, the hapless Luffy comes face-to-face

with a small dragon.

The beast claims to be a samurai who has overcome

a most unusual fage.

This auspicious encounter propels Luffy

towards his next challenge.

[LUFFY] On the next, One Piece!

"A Small Dragon! Momonosuke Appears!"

I'm going to be King of the Pirates!
