[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.

Upon arrival, Luffy entered a fighting tournament

that promises the Flame Flame Fruit to the champion.

Rebecca, a gladiator that Luffy befriended,

is fighting an increasingly desperate battle

in the final match of the first round.

[LUFFY] "A Big Surprise!

A True Identity of the Toy Soldier!"

I can't believe I finally found you!

Mister Luffy!

Is it... really you?

Of course!

And you're that fabulous fighter from the match in Block B!

Bartolomeo?

Uh-huh! But I can't believe it!

You know my name! I've never been so happy!

Of course I know your name.

I hope to see you again in the finals. Keep fighting!

You're far too kind! Y'know,

the only reason I went out to sea was to be just like you!

[BARTOLOMEO sobs]

Huh. Wait.

Where do I watch the match, again?

It must be that way.

[gasps] Wait Mister Luffy!

[LUFFY] Hm? Hm...?

[KELLY screams]

[IDEO yells]

Whoa, jeez...

Are they gonna toss everyone down here, or what?

[BOO screams]

[KELLY grunts]

[panting]

[grunts] It's Grandpa!

And Sai, too! Oh! What smells?

Hello there, Boo.

[BOO coughs] So...

Is this some kinda trash heap?

Why are there toys everywhere?

What is this place, Brother?

How am I supposed to know?

Next one's comin' down. Better not stand there.

[BOO grunts, groans]

[RICKY] To think there was such a massive junkyard

hidden beneath the kingdom.

[TANK] Excuse me. I have a question.

[RICKY] Hm?

I could be wrong. If so, forgive me.

But you're him, aren't you?

Tell me, please.

Sir, you must be!

[TANK] To think you've been alive all this time, King Riku.

[COMPETITORS gasp]

[COMPETITOR A] King Riku...?

There's no way!

[ALL grunting]

[TANK gasping]

You crazy? The man's dead!

Did you hit your head when you fell down here?

[laughs] That old king lost his mind, didn't he?

Went on a rampage and had to be put down like a wild dog,

from what I heard.

[RICKY] We're far enough from prying eyes, I suppose.

[TANK gasps]

[RICKY] I might as well shed my disguise.

[ALL murmuring]

[TANK gasping]

[RICKY] I couldn't hide the truth from you.

I am indeed Riku.

Though there's no need to call me "King" anymore, Captain Tank.

[TANK cries]

[COMPETITOR K] It's really him!

[COMPETITOR L] He's been alive this whole time!

[TANK sobs] I'm so happy to see you, King Riku.

I can't even save my own granddaughter.

I'm just a sad old man now.

Not worthy to be king.

[TANK] It's been so long.

Forgive me, my lord.

With Doflamingo in control, I--

Enough! I trust you.

I know you've been watching over Viola all this time.

I'm certain that you would not abandon

your duty or honor so easily.

I can only imagine how much you've suffered.

[TANK] No, it's nothing compared to what you've gone through.

[DAGAMA grunts]

He's not kidding!

It really is King Riku!

Heh. Is that the King of Prodence?

[ELIZABELLO laughs] None other, old friend!

So many times in the past you've aided my kingdom!

Oh, I've missed you!

Whoa there, okay!

Things haven't been the same at all since you've been away!

There's no stability between nations these days.

War all the time! Oh! I've had enough!

Huh?

"Had enough"? Why don't you wake up?

While you're crying, someone else is laughing

all the way to the bank! Ever think of that?

[RICKY growls]

Our nations are being pushed into war with each other.

All to suit someone else's agenda.

It's a nice gig for a weapons dealer.

The more we fight, the richer they get!

And in this case, the one to blame is a man known as Joker.

It's an alias of Doflamingo, of course.

As of yet, we haven't determined where he

manufactures or stores his weapons.

But we do know that he's selling them to our enemies,

locking our kingdom into a war that never seems to end!

[RICKY gasps]

[ELIZABELLO growls]

We entered this tournament as an excuse to infiltrate the city

and search for Doflamingo's factory.

At the bequest of the King of Kano,

we of the Happosui Army are working to stem the tide

of weapons smuggling that plagues this world!

King Riku! Doflamingo's ascension to the throne

is the result of you acting foolishly!

And now all the nations around you are suffering!

[RICKY growls]

What he says is true, King Elizabello.

[ELIZABELLO grunts]

[DAGAMA] It is noble of you to show gratitude for the aid

Dressrosa offered us in the past, but those days are gone.

The name King Riku's been dragged through the mud

and rightfully so.

Enough, Dagama!

Huh?

We faced a nightmare ten years ago,

and the truth you know is a lie!

So shut your mouth about King Riku!

It's over! Stop fighting!

Uh, King Riku.

Many years ago, I was a soldier in your army.

I was as well.

Me, too, my lord. And proud of it.

[RICKY] Hm?

[gasps] The hell...?

[COMPETITOR F] What's happening? This is creepy!

I thought they were broken, but now they're getting up!

Why would all those soldiers bow to Riku?

And the toys, too! What gives?

They're loyal to him?

I don't get it.

I thought everyone here hated King Riku.

[RICKY] Hm?

[HACK] Yeah. There's a structure down here

even King Riku didn't know about.

If you ask me, we should start searching underground.

[KOALA] I see.

Keep me posted, okay?

[TRANSPONDER SNAIL A] Click.

[squelching]

[ALL grunt]

[BOO] Brother!

What're they doing to us now? Something's dragging me away!

If you even dare to hurt Sai, I'll hold a grudge against you.

And your children, and your grandchildren, too.

You hear me?!

It's so sticky!

[SAI yelps, screams]

He's gone!

[BOO] Brother!

[SAI grunting]

What is this crap?

Hey! Anyone?

[TREBOL laughing]

Stay away! Don't touch me!

You bastard! No!

[screaming]

[TREBOL laughing]

Hey, hey...

I'm done now! You can go.

"Thou shalt not harm any human.

Thou shalt obey all orders from the Family."

You better follow those rules!

Now go straight through that door.

Keep walking, you'll find a factory

with a port along the way. March!

[squeaking]

[TREBOL] Keep quiet and work hard out there.

'Kay, little minion?

[TREBOL] Those contenders were all pretty tough.

It'll take a long time before they break!

[SAI] What's happening to me?

I'm trying to stop, but my body won't listen!

It's like I can't disobey him.

What the hell did you do to me?

What did you turn me into?!

[GANCHO] Many ages ago, our Tontatta ancestors

took to the seas, not in search of treasure,

but in search of resources that their homeland lacked.

But they could not hide from the Big People,

and their encounters never ended well.

Before long, our race was in danger of going extinct.

Ooh, lookie! The Little People!

[MAN B] Grab 'em!

When all seemed lost, they came here to Dressrosa

and met with the King. He offered the Tontatta a deal.

In exchange for a bit of labor,

he would provide us with a home, resources, and safety.

And as for the king's name...

It was Don Quixote.

[USOPP, ROBIN gasp]

[DWARVES murmuring]

This fateful encounter occurred more than 900 years ago,

but it's remembered as the beginning

of the darkest age in our history.

We call it The Slave Era!

There are some surviving manuscripts that detail

the cruelty we faced at the hands of the royal family.

And they are horrifying!

[GANCHO] Our ancestors toiled and toiled underground,

hidden away from the world.

Meanwhile, the Big People above lived a life of luxury,

built upon the backs of our efforts,

with the riches we discovered.

[ALL crying]

[GANCHO] Now, the next hundred years were part of the

Blank Century, so the records from that time are lost to us.

But 800 years ago, a new king came to power in Dressrosa.

[DWARVES] King Riku the First!

[DWARVES cheering]

[GANCHO] Soon he learned the truth of our people's

sad history. The centuries of oppression and slavery.

Then, to our surprise...

With tears streaming down his face, he bowed his head

and offered us his deepest apologies.

[GANCHO] Later, the King devised a plan to help us.

He enacted reparations.

[GANCHO] He told us we no longer needed to slave away.

We could take anything we required from the country.

And we didn't need to pay a thing in return.

Huh? My bag's missing!

[MAN J] Uh! My watch is gone, too!

[WOMAN B] Has anyone seen my wallet?

Oh, no! Someone has stolen my favorite jacket!

My Shusui was right here a minute ago!

Looks like they stole from everyone!

But that's what fairies do for fun!

What're you babblin' about?

Fairies are fairies, that's all I know.

All you can do is laugh and let it go!

You want me to laugh?!

Invisible fairies are the guardians of Dressrosa

since ancient times and they're our ally!

When they engage in mischief,

the only thing to do is turn a blind eye!

Well, if fairies stole from us, I guess that's okay then!

Let's forget about it!

[FRANKY sobs]

King Riku declared that our actions

were the work of fairies.

So the citizens accepted them with good humor.

The legend of the Dressrosa Fairies

was born and continues to this day.

That is so cool! I love this Riku guy!

[GANCHO] Under the rule of the benevolent Riku Dynasty,

a helping hand was always lent

to neighboring countries when they were in need.

Although I can't say that the kingdom

was especially wealthy, its people were always smiling

and the world thought of them warmly.

Our ancestors paid tribute to King Riku by planting flowers

and greenery over the whole countryside.

It was a labor of love that continued

until the entire kingdom shimmered like a rainbow.

The Tontatta are linked to the Riku family by a bond of respect

that's been nourished for over 800 years.

But alas, those many years of prosperity

may be coming to an end.

The Don Quixote family has returned.

Their descendant is king.

Doflamingo cares not for the Tontatta Tribe.

He wishes to repeat our tragic history!

[TOWNSPEOPLE cheering]

[DOFLAMINGO laughs]

[GANCHO] First, he seized my daughter, Mansherry,

and now that he's taken 500 of our people hostage,

I have no doubt he'd make slaves of us all.

We won't let him have his way!

We shall be forever free!

[DWARVES cheer]

Forever free! At any cost!

And so we fight!

To oppose that despot from the Don Quixote line.

To defend our fair kingdom,

so everyone can live free!

[DWARVES cheer]

Now, we have heroes at our side!

Usoland will bring us victory!

[DWARVES] Usoland! Usoland! Usoland...

[gasps] You can count on your hero!

[LEO] Is he awesome, or what?

[FRANKY cries] King Riku's such a stand-up guy.

I can't believe it, he's even nice to these little bug people!

[DWARVES] What did you just call us?!

Bugs, in a good way.

[DWARVES] Oh. No problem, then.

[CROWD chattering]

[MAN B] The Riku dynasty's dead! Just like your grandpa!

Go to hell, Rebecca!

One question.

[TOY SOLDIER grunts]

Who is that woman fighting out there in the ring?

The crowd seems to hate her.

But judging by their jeers,

she's related to the former king.

Is there something we don't know?

About the Riku Dynasty?

There's nothing I don't know!

[DWARVES cheer] Usoland! Usoland! Usoland...

It happened ten years ago.

[DWARVES] Usoland! Usoland!

King Riku lost the support of his citizens

in a sudden tragedy that struck one night.

He fought for his people until the end,

but that story has been lost.

[MAN G] Riku's entire family can go to hell!

Die, Rebecca! Go away!

[MAN H] What're you waiting for? Butcher her!

I don't blame them.

The citizens don't know what really happened that day.

[TOY SOLDIER] I'm sorry...

It's my fault.

I failed to protect your mother!

[TOY SOLDIER] After he took control of the kingdom,

Doflamingo tried to erase King Riku's bloodline.

But I took Rebecca away and went into hiding with her.

Thus, she was able to grow into adulthood.

Eventually, we were discovered.

And Doflamingo decided to put her on public display.

I swear I will restore the people's faith in King Riku,

and I will protect Rebecca from harm,

even if I have to give my life to do it!

That is why we fight!

To put an end to this!

[FRANKY gasps]

Who are you, really?

[TOY SOLDIER] A failure.

A soldier who couldn't complete his duty.

I let her die.

[REBECCA cries]

[REBECCA] Mother? Please, Mother.

Wake up. Please, wake up!

[TOY SOLDIER] Forgive me!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry!

[TOY SOLDIER] For as long as I live,

I'll never forget what happened that day.

[TOY SOLDIER] But Rebecca has forgotten me,

because I was turned into a toy.

[inaudible]

[REBECCA, TOY SOLDIER] ♪ This toy soldier is brave and true ♪

♪ In the rain or in the snow, he will stay with you ♪

[REBECCA, TOY SOLDIER laughing]

She doesn't know.

[REBECCA panting]

The truth is...

I'm Rebecca's father!

[NARRATOR] For 800 years, the Riku royal family worked
