[cackles]

My darkness will swallow the world, just you wait and see!

You think I'll lose to you?

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

Roger's treasure belongs to me!

[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] In order to defeat one of the

Four Emperors of the New World,

the Straw Hats form an alliance with Law.

Their current objective is to destroy a man-made

Devil Fruit Factory in the kingdom of Dressrosa.

Hoping to create a distraction, they arrange a trade

with the country's king, Doflamingo.

But after Zoro's sword is stolen,

the crew becomes hopelessly separated in the vast city.

When Luffy finds out that Ace's Flame Flame Fruit is the prize

in a gladiator tournament at the Corrida Colosseum,

he decides to enter and win it for himself.

But it turns out that some of the world's most

ferocious fighters had the exact same idea.

Ah! You over there.

[LUFFY] Huh?

Nice ensemble.

[CAVENDISH] Alas, there is a weight limit

for gear, I'm afraid.

A limit? Well that kinda sucks.

[CAVENDISH] All the weapons and armor in the world

won't help you.

There's only one who deserves the Flame Flame Fruit.

Me!

Such beautiful power is wasted on you.

It's only fit for someone equally as stunning!

[LUFFY] "A Pirate Noble! Cavendish!"

[CAVENDISH] My name's Cavendish, and the pleasure's all yours.

I'm sure that you already knew who I am.

After all, everyone's heard of the gallant noble pirate.

Fame comes with these looks.

Look at that hair!

Seeing him in person is way too much for me!

[ATTENDANT B] My heart! It wasn't ready!

It wasn't ready!

[chuckles] It's almost sinful,

but I can't really help being this beautiful, can I?

Like this radiant rose,

my perfection is a universal truth.

A masterpiece of nature.

I've been given everything throughout my life.

Handed to me on a silver platter.

I've had no desire to eat a Devil Fruit until now.

Why would I need one

when I've managed to come this far without even trying?

My looks have done it for me.

[JUDGE A] You're over the weight limit.

Aww!

I told you that earlier! Get back here!

Ugh. But I look so cool like this.

Is that why everyone's runnin' around half-naked?

[CROWD cheering]

Man, they're pretty worked up!

Do you know what inspires

such rabid excitement within them? It's simple.

[CAVENDISH] They want blood.

And gladiators are nothing more than a delivery system.

It's the blood of the loser.

That is what they thirst for.

This colosseum. It extracts the truth.

Strips man down to his most authentic nature.

These people bottle up their frustrations,

their fear, their anger.

They force their primal, bestial urges deep inside.

But here, they're free to let it tear out of them.

They don't want a protracted match between sword and armor.

This competition's more than just a show for them.

It's a release.

[LUFFY] I don't hafta take off the cape, right?

It looks so awesome on me.

Hey, you.

[LUFFY] Hm?

[CAVENDISH] I saw you earlier.

Watched you crush that giant brute.

Made me wonder who you are.

Me? Luffy.

[COMPETITORS] What?

No!

And I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

It says your name's Lucy!

Uh, yeah, Lucy.

Learn how to annunciate better, ya damn dolt!

So, you're Lucy.

[COMPETITOR U] I almost crapped myself

thinkin' Straw Hat was here.

[COMPETITOR V] Who, that little shrimp?

I heard the real Luffy's over twenty feet tall.

This shield is awesome!

[CAVENDISH] Lucky thing you're not him.

Because if you were the real Straw Hat Luffy,

I woundn't wait for the ring.

I'd kill you now.

Huh? And why's that?

It's been three years since I first arrived in the New World.

[CAVENDISH] The entire globe was entranced by the story of

the beautiful rookie with a 200 million bounty on his head.

I made the front page news every day.

Young women went nuts over my wanted posters

and they became a collector's item.

They ripped them from the walls of every town

so they could hang them in their bedrooms.

[CAVENDISH] The world fell head over in heels in love with me.

"There's the shining star!"

"Who? You mean me?"

"Well, who else?" [chuckles]

"Oh, gallant Cavendish, please look my way!"

"Don't worry.

I will always be looking at you in your dreams, my dear."

[chuckles]

But then, a single freaking year later...

All anyone wanted to talk about

was the stupid war in Marineford!

Whitebeard stole the spotlight from me,

and Straw Hat Luffy stepped into it right next to him!

And on top of that,

adeluge of new rookies kept pouring in!

Earning themselves the mantle of the Worst Generation

and abducting the public's imagination!

The journalists practically forgot that I even existed!

And that's why I'm gonna kill them!

These unworthy usurpers!

They will die!

I think you've got other problems to work on, dude.

Say what you like.

To recapture the public adoration I deserve,

I will do anything it takes, and kill every rookie there is!

The first step is winning today's prize,

the Flame Flame Fruit. See?

Now you're qualified.

[LUFFY] Awesome!

No one will ever ignore me again after I have won this!

Bastards! The entire world will have to acknowledge me

when I roast it in my flames!

[COMPETITOR G] You competin', doll face?

You ain't gonna last but ya sure are cute.

[COMPETITOR J whistles]

[COMPETITOR W ] Damn, talk about stuck up.

[COMPETITOR X] Hey, you don't wanna

mess with her too much, man.

[COMPETITOR Y] Why the hell not?

[COMPETITOR X] What, you really don't know?

[gasps]

[LUFFY] Aww. Well that's kinda funny.

I wound up wearing the same fighting costume

as this old guy.

[REBECCA] Are you you interested in him?

[LUFFY] Huh? Who're you?

[REBECCA] I'm Rebecca. A gladiator here.

You made a fool of Spartan.

I hate that guy.

Thanks for that.

Eh, that jerk was askin' for it.

This statue before you.

This man was a legend.

[LUFFY] Whoa, really? The giant old dude?

He was the greatest gladiator in the whole history

of the Corrida Colosseum. Kyros.

He fought three thousand matches

and claimed three thousand victories.

The only wound he ever suffered in combat was a single slash.

[LUFFY] Wow! Tough!

[REBECCA] He was still fighting here

until just 20 years ago.

Even so, he is unknown to this country.

No one remembers a thing.

Huh? What do you mean?

[REBECCA] None of the elders or even the gladiators.

No one recalls having met him.

It's the most mysterious statue in Dressrosa.

He might not have existed for all we know.

Someone could've just made him up.

On top of that, who knows how long this statue has been here.

All that we really know of the man

is what someone engraved on this placard here.

Even though we don't know who he is,

nobody wants to remove the statue.

Another mystery.

[LUFFY] Hmm. Yeah, that's some pretty weird stuff,

but I gotta admit, it does look cool.

And super manly!

Yeah, I like it, too.

[COMPETITOR K] Well, if it isn't Rebecca, the great warrior!

[COMPETITORS chuckle]

You think you can keep that win record going out there?

I bet you're happy, huh? About Spartan.

Your bully really got his ass kicked, didn't he?

[COMPETITORS laugh]

All right, knock it off, ya idiot. Let's go.

I'll see ya later.

Everyone's lookin' forward to watchin' you go down today.

[COMPETITORS laughing]

What's up with them?

[REBECCA] Pay them no mind.

No more.

[REBECCA inhales, exhales]

Today will be my final battle here.

I will take the Devil Fruit prize for my own and end this.

I will kill... Doflamingo!

[LUFFY gasps] Mingo?

[REBECCA] What block are you in?

[LUFFY] C.

[REBECCA] That's good. I'm in D.

I'll cross my fingers for us.

I hope we both survive the first round.

Bye, Lucy.

[COMPETITORS groan]

It's insane. This guy is too fierce.

[BURGESS] Happy Store!

The titan in the paper mask,

known only as Mister Store, is a monster!

Is it even possible for this man to be defeated?

[COMPETITOR P] Hey! Block A's got one helluva beast in it!

Huh? What beast? Who is he?

I'm not dyin' in this ring! I'm walkin' out a winner!

[GYATS] Good luck getting outta that one!

[COMPETITORS yell]

[COMPETITOR R yells]

[BURGESS grunts]

[COMPETITORS gasp]

[BURGESS] Happy Store!

Uh, we have the champion of Block A!

The masked man takes it all! Mr. Store!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] He ended the fight in a mere moment!

I do believe that the Colosseum has found a new hero!

[GYATS gasps] Hang on!

It looks as though the mystery man is about to remove his mask!

Is this happening?

The mask is off!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] What?!

[CROWD gasps]

Hey, isn't that...

I see! It seems our mystery man is a fighter

famous across the whole world!

What a stunning opening and an unexpected victor!

The winner of the Block A battle royale is...

[gasps] That guy?

[GYATS] And the victor of Block A is...

The first division captain serving under

the fearsome warlord, Emperor Blackbeard. Jesus Burgess!

[cackles]

[CROWD screams]

It's him! That champion guy I saw way back!

[BURGESS] I'm the greatest fighting champion in the world!

[BURGESS cackles]

He's with the Blackbeard Pirates!

What the hell are those guys doin' competitin' in this fight?

[GYATS] I am still reeling from the surprise, folks!

But now we know why the mysterious masked man

was such a formidable opponent!

I know who I'm rootin' for! Show 'em how it's done, Burgess!

[CROWD] Burgess! Burgess! Burgess!

Burgess! Burgess!

[FRANKY] So the Blackbeard Pirates are in the mix.

I just expected Luffy to win this tournament

pretty easily, but now...

Well, that might not be the case.

Here's hopin' he doesn't reveal himself somehow.

Well. I've got a job. So.

[TOY SOLDIER] Hey! Not so fast!

Allow me to join you, sir!

[FRANKY] What? Get offa me.

[TOY SOLDIER] We should speak first!

Look, buddy, I don't have time to waste yakkin', all right?

[TOY SOLDIER] Please wait!

Quit it, you damn fool! Enough already!

If you don't know where I can find the factory,

then you're worthless to me!

I've gotta find a high-ranking big shot

in the Don Quixote Family,

and beat the location outta him! So you--

--[TOY SOLDIER] Be quiet! --Why should I?

[TOY SOLDIER] They're looking. They're watching.

We need to leave!

You can't voice such radical views in a place like this!

All right, come clean. Who the hell are you?

[GYATS] Medics! The injured of Block A

are badly in need of your service!

So, Hajrudin the Pirate Mercenary.

And Cavendish!

And Gambia the Missionary?

[WOMAN B] Let's get outta here.

[MAN F] If you say so.

I don't get what the big rush is about though.

Yeah. It's a pretty bad batch, all right.

[MARINE A] It'll be big trouble if one of these guys

wins the Flame Flame Fruit.

[MAYNARD] Burgess shocked the hell outta me, too.

[MARINE A] Same here. I'll talk to Issho right away.

[MAYNARD] You do that.

[GAMBIA] What's all this about?

Wha'cha doin', buddy? Talkin to yourself?

[GAMBIA] Now hang on.

You ain't communicatin' with

someone on the outside, are ya pal?

'Cuz that would be fishy!

[laughs]

[GAMBIA] I'm right, aren't I?

And hey, what's that you're writin' down there?

I heard ya whisperin' out the names

of the hottest pirates around.

Gambia? The Missionary?

Right here! That's me!

So what exactly are you up to?

[laughs] Can't say?

[laughs]

Lemme take a guess here.

You're not with the Nav--[gasps]

Uh, sir? Are you still there?

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

Gimme ten and I'll call you back.

Yes, sir, roger that.

[TRANSPONDER SNAIL A] Cu-lick.

[MAYNARD] Keep that nose outta my business

or you're gonna lose it.

[GAMBIA] Whatever you say!

[MAYNARD] All right, Gambia The Missionary. Walk away.

[MAYNARD] Bastard!

[screams]

[COMPETITOR Z] Help me!

Don't let that monster kill me, please!

[MEDIC A] Pull it together. The fight's over! You're okay!

[GYATS] The Colosseum is still thundering

from the excitement of Block A! And Block B.

You've got one helluva show to live up to,

so I hope you bring the pain!

[FUJITORA] Time to make an exit. I've heard enough.

Plenty of familiar names to sound the alarm.

[MARINE A] What's our next plan of action, sir?

Oh. Here's your coat.

[LITTLE GIRL A gasps]

[gasps]

[FUJITORA] Here you go. No reason to cry, now.

[LITTLE GIRL A] Uh-huh! Thank you so much, mister!

[FUJITORA] Of course, I'm glad I could help.

[LITTLE GIRL A giggles]

Uh, Issho, sir. I have your coat here.

Ah. Thank you.

Shall we continue?

[FUJITORA] As a measure of safety,

we should send for no less than three Navy ships.

In the meanwhile, you and I, we'll head for...

What was it called again?

[MARINE A] Do you mean Green Bit?

[FUJITORA] That's it. We'll make our way there.

And let's see. We'll need...

Well, call for as many medics as you possibly can.

There is the chance of civilian injuries.

Right. Yes, sir.

[FUJITORA] On the side of intel,

I want a head count of all the people in the stands,

and the exact population of this town.

Wait. You want this instead of the enemy numbers?

Is it that necessary?

[FUJITORA] The enemy you said?

No, that's not the number to worry about.

We should only be concerned with

the number of lives we need to protect first.

[gasps]

Yes, sir!

Calling all Marines in Dressrosa!

We're relocating our forces to Green Bit!

Rendezvous in front of the Colosseum!

Under command of the Admiral, we're moving forward!

The plan is in action!

[MAYNARD] This is Maynard calling back.

Sorry for disconnecting earlier.

There's nothing to worry about here.

Oh, a name I mentioned,

Gambia the Missionary, the one working for Bartolomeo.

Go ahead and cross his name off.

I had the wrong guy.

Dammit. Navy bastard.

The plan is still on track.

So I'm gonna keep moving forward.

The infirmary's down the hall!

We're low on stretchers, so walk if ya can!

These dudes are a mess. The champ really got 'em.

[BELLAMY chuckles]

[BELLAMY] Hey.

[LUFFY] Huh?

Nice get up, but do ya think I'm blind?

I don't care how good the disguise is,

when it comes to the guy who managed to

swerve my career into the skids...

...I'm gonna know his face.

[LUFFY gasps] It's you?

[NARRATOR] As the competitors are revealed,
