Original subtitles

[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.

When Luffy hears about a fighting tournament

at the Corrida Colosseum with the Flame-Flame fruit

as the prize, he decides to join and compete against

titanic contenders from all over the New World.

[LUFFY] A punch?

That’s why you’re so bent outta shape?

Come on! I can’t even remember how many times

I got slugged by him!

[CHIN JAO] Then I’ll finish the job and pulverize

every bone in your body!

Hasshoken Technique!

[LUFFY] Get ready for my Gum-Gum--Thor!

[CHIN JAO] Non-Drill Dragon!

Elephant Gun!

[CHIN JAO] Non-Nail!

[CROWD] What?!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] This is simply remarkable!

He bested a living legend!

After a hard-fought battle, we have a champion for Block C.

Let’s hear it for Lucy!

Heck yeah!

[laughs]

[LUFFY] “Luffy and the Gladiator of Fate, Rebecca”

[CROWD cheering]

[GYATS] Ladies and gents, we have three of our finalists!

This trio of unbelievable contestants will now advance

to the final round and challenge the Don Quixote Family!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] The champion of Block A,

representing the Blackbeard Pirates:

Jesus Burgess!

--[laughs] --[CROWD cheers]

Our winner from Block B.

The irreverent leader of a pirate crew

called the Barto Club:

Bartolomeo the Cannibal!

[laughs]

And now, from Block C.

Everyone’s favorite dark horse: Lucy!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] The long-anticipated finale is fast approaching!

Unfortunately, as the arena needs immediate repairs,

the battle for Block D will be delayed by about 15 minutes.

Sorry, folks!

[MAN A] Oh, come on! Really?

[MAN B] After all that buildup?

[GYATS] We appreciate your patience as we prepare

for the Block D match!

[CAVENDISH] Straw Hat!

You can’t escape this time!

Cabbage!

Meet Durandal!

[yells]

[LUFFY yelps]

Have at you!

[CAVENDISH grunting]

[COMPETITOR F] Cavendish doesn’t know when to quit, does he?

Huh?

[BARTOLOMEO] I warned him!

What is his deal?

I dunno, said something 'bout “Straw Hat.”

Oh, you mean Straw Hat as in Straw Hat Luffy?

The one who couldn’t even save his brother’s life

during the War of the Best, right?

[COMPETITOR C laughs] Anybody can get famous

for not being able to do something!

[laughing]

[yelping] What the hell?

Let go of me, scumbag!

I’ll have you know that I happen to be a nobleman

from the Kingdom of Biggschots!

[COMPETITOR C whimpering] Stop! I-I can’t breathe!

Well, that’s funny, since you had

enough breath to talk smack a minute ago.

[gasps]

Look here.

The Great Straw Hat Luffy is a hero in his own time!

He’ll be the legend that defines this era!

The future King of the Pirates!

[COMPETITOR C whimpering]

I saw it with my own eyes.

It’s been over two years since that day.

[BARTOLOMEO] At Loguetown in the East Blue...

On the same scaffold where Gold Roger,

the King of the Pirates, was killed...

I heard him shout to the sky:

Wait and see!

I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!

[TOWNSPEOPLE gasping]

[BARTOLOMEO] And in that fateful moment...

[BARTOLOMEO] ...a bolt of thunder split the heavens

and saved his life!

[laughs]

Hey, I’m still alive! That’s nice!

[BARTOLOMEO] I witnessed a true miracle that day!

[BARTOLOMEO laughing]

[BARTOLOMEO] Ever since then, I’ve been followin'

the Straw Hats’ adventures in the news!

Alabasta! Enies Lobby! Impel Down!

And who could forget...

...that legendary showdown at Marineford!

[BARTOLOMEO laughing]

[BARTO PIRATE A] Hey, Boss!

What should we do with the soldiers we captured?

[BARTOLOMEO] Drown ‘em, I don’t care!

[BARTOLOMEO] Back home, I was just a gang leader

who took over 150 towns, no big deal.

But Luffy inspired me to be great.

[BARTOLOMEO] So I set out to sea!

[COMPETITOR C yelps]

Now, let me see, where were we?

Right, you were making fun of Luffy.

And just what makes you think you’re anything

to write home about, huh, ya jackass?

How’s about I cut out your tongue? Huh?

You will never be half as good as him!

Worthless piece of crap!

Why the hell is everyone fighting now?

[BARTOLOMEO grunts]

[yells]

[CAVENDISH gasps]

Let go!

Don’t think so!

Get your hands off my sword; I’ll kill you!

Can you just leave me alone

and let us settle this crap some other time?

I’ve been fighting people all day!

[LUFFY grunting, yelling]

[gasps]

[COMPETITOR G] Somebody pull ‘em apart!

[COMPETITOR H] Not me! I’m staying back!

[BARTOLOMEO] I don’t blame you, pal.

I’m too nervous to walk up to him, myself.

And even if I did, what would I say?

Look at that, he really does have a scar under his left eye!

He’s even more amazing in person!

Huh? I can’t see through all these tears of joy!

Who does that cabbage asshole think he is?

I’ll rip him limb from limb and save Luffy!

Ah! You’re in for it now, Cavend--! [stammers]

[BARTOLOMEO] Dammit, I’m speechless!

[LUFFY grunting]

[SAI] Straw Hat Luffy!

There you are! Don’t go anywhere.

Our grandfather has something important to tell you.

Hang in there, Grandpa, it’s okay!

Again?! Dude, would you just leave me alone?

I won, okay?

No, listen!

[LUFFY yelps]

[COMPETITORS scream]

[CHIN JAO] I’ve abandoned my grudge.

Now I must express my appreciation.

What I wanted to say was thank you.

[LUFFY grunting]

[CHIN JAO] Wait! Grandson of Garp!

You can’t escape me!

[LUFFY yelling]

No way! Luffy just ran past me!

Hold on! Don’t go!

How dare you run away from our duel!

[LUFFY yelling]

The Great Straw Hat Luffy in the flesh!

Ooh, I want to talk to him, but I think I’m too shy!

Please wait for me!

[CHIN JAO] To show my gratitude for restoring my head,

I’d like to place you in charge of my grandson’s Happosui Army.

[CHIN JAO] Stop right there!

Aw, gimme a break! They’re all chasing me?

--[ALL yelling] --[BARTOLOMEO] Hey!

[screaming]

[LUFFY panting]

Okay. I’m too tired for all this.

[REBECCA] Lucy! This way!

Oh, hey! You’re, uh...

I’m Rebecca. You’re in demand, aren’t you?

Follow me!

Uh, sure! Thanks for the help!

[TEACH laughs] Well, then that goes for Shiryu as well!

I guess so, but I don’t think

we should take Aokiji’s word for it.

Eh? Oh. Hey, Captain, I’m sorry. One second.

Straw Hat’s here.

[TEACH grunts] Huh? Really now? Put him on!

[TEACH] Hello there!

You again.

So you’re... Blackbeard?

[laughs] Long time no see, Straw Hat Luffy.

Hey, I know how ya feel.

I was surprised to hear you were my commander’s baby brother.

[TEACH chuckles] You sure you wanna be here?

You’re gonna miss the big show.

Don’t ya wanna be there for your brother’s execution? [laughs]

What do you want?

[TEACH] It’s been a while, hasn’t it, old friend? [laughs]

I heard you’re competing in the gladiator tournament, “Lucy”!

[TEACH] But forget about the Flame-Flame fruit.

Burgess is gonna win that, easy!

[BURGESS laughs]

[TEACH] I wanted Ace to join the Blackbeard Pirates

back in the day, but he turned me down!

So this way, I can have the next best thing.

What do ya think?

[TEACH laughs]

I’ll tell you what I think.

You’re never getting Ace’s power, as long as I live.

[TEACH] Huh.

[laughs] Well, I can’t wait to make you eat those words!

We’d better go.

Lucy!

Yeah.

I get the feeling you know each other, is that right?

Yeah, kinda. I can’t let him win that prize!

[REBECCA pants]

[LUFFY] Hey, this is good! Y’got any more?

You can’t eat all my free samples

without buying any!

[REBECCA] Lucy! I’m so sorry about that, ma’am.

Tell me which one you’d like to have Lucy.

Huh?! You mean you’re gonna pay for it?

Oh, hello, Rebecca! Friend of yours?

[OLD WOMAN A] Thanks for your business!

[laughs] Looks good! Man, am I hungry!

Enjoy it.

Sorry I couldn’t afford to buy you more.

Are you kidding?

Thanks for treating me to lunch, Rebecca!

So where are we?

[REBECCA] These are the living quarters

for the gladiators who fight here.

[REBECCA] Though I suppose it’s more like a prison.

The guest competitors won’t be coming down here.

You can rest up for your next match.

Oh, that’s cool, thanks a lot!

You’re such a great fighter.

I was really impressed when I saw that last battle.

You like it?

Yeah, the food here is really good!

[laughs]

Oh, hey, you’re not hungry, too, are you?

[gasps]

I’m so hungry. Mother, I’m starving!

[SCARLET] I know, dear.

Two days is a long time to wait. I’m sorry.

You’ll have to stay here alone for a while, okay, Rebecca?

[gasps]

Oh, I don’t get hungry. Ever.

Well, that’s weird. Are you, like, a samurai or something?

[INMATE B grunts]

[INMATE A] All right, I got him!

[INMATE B] Go for it, Rebecca! Now!

[LUFFY] What?

[INMATE B] That’s why you brought him here, right?

Rebecca! What is this?

[INMATE A] Come on!

[LUFFY] Hey, let go of me!

You better not make me drop my food!

[INMATE B] Rebecca!

[INMATE A] Hurry up!

If you don’t, you’ll never accomplish your mission!

Wait, what?

[REBECCA growls]

[yells]

[yelps]

[panting]

[INMATE B] He actually caught Rebecca.

[INMATE A] How did he move faster than her?

Go on, do your worst.

I accept my fate, all right?

Wait a minute, you think I’m gonna hurt you?

But you gave me food!

Yes, but I just tried to kill you!

[LUFFY] Well, you tried to attack me.

But, kill me? I don’t think so.

If he can afford to forgive her that easily,

that means she was never a threat to him

in the first place, don’t you think?

[INMATE B] What a shame.

This woulda been a good chance to knock out

one of the competitors who has Devil Fruit powers.

Whoa! Mummies!

Oh, come on!

We’re prisoners, forced to fight as gladiators.

[INMATE A] So is Rebecca.

They throw us out into the arena for the crowd’s

entertainment till the day we finally wind up dead.

All because we got on the Don Quixote Family’s bad side.

The king promised he would let us go free

if we manage to win a thousand battles.

But no matter how strong you are,

no one can win that many fights to the death in a row!

And everybody who’s tried to run away

up until now has been shot and killed on sight.

There’s no hope left for us now.

Ten years ago, before Doflamingo became king

around here, we had gladiator matches,

but never to the death.

For all the light there is in this kingdom of his,

there’s just as much darkness.

[REBECCA] I swear. No matter what it takes,

I will win this competition today!

And with the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit,

I’ll kill Doflamingo!

Look. The Toy Soldier told me he’s planning on

leading his army to attack Doflamingo today.

[panting]

That means he’s going to let us all out.

I believe that he can save this kingdom.

But he wants to sacrifice his life to do it!

[KYROS] It’s all right.

[KYROS] Don’t be afraid.

This brave soldier will always be at your side!

[REBECCA panting]

But I will settle this before he has the chance.

I’m sick of him always having to protect me!

This time, Soldier,

I’ll protect you. I promise!

[NARRATOR] On the night that utter tragedy befell Dressrosa,
