[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.

Now, Usopp, Robin and Franky hear of

the horrors that Dressrosa suffered ten years in the past.

Even if you've forgotten, I have not.

Thus, I've returned to take my place as your king!

I'll sell you this kingdom for, say, ten billion Berries?

I need to borrow all of your money,

and I need to do so immediately.

Stop it! I'm begging you!

[SOLDIER BB] King Riku, please wait!

[SOLDIER CC] What are you doing?

[DOFLAMINGO chuckles]

[DOFLAMINGO] Oh, Riku! What a naughty king you are!

The night's still young, soldiers!

Don't just stand there gawking!

Why don't you join the dance?

[DOFLAMINGO] Parasite String!

M-My arm! It's moving!

What the hell is happening to me?

Why? What's causing this? [sobs]

This must be what happened to the king, too.

[DOLDO] What could I possibly say?

Nothing can justify this.

We're done, the kingdom is finished.

We fell right into Doflamingo's trap!

[TREBOL] Hey, hey! Can we do it already, please? Doffy!

[DOFLAMINGO] Now, now. We can't rush things.

I need them trembling with fear, in the depths of despair.

And when this kingdom hates King Riku with all its heart,

that's when the heroes can appear.

[LUFFY] "A Nightmare! The Tragic Night of Dressrosa!"

[MAN AA screams]

[sobs]

[TOWNSPEOPLE screaming]

What in the world has happened to our beloved king?

The whole kingdom's in disarray!

[NOBLE A] He looked amiss when he left the palace earlier,

but there's no way anyone could have predicted

something like this?

[NOBLE B] I fear this is more than we can handle on our own.

I have already called for Naval assistance!

Captain Vergo has stated he's mobilizing in response!

[NOBLE A] Ah! Splendid idea!

Oh, Father!

What's going on? Father?

[VIOLET] Why are you doing this?

It's snow?

Monet! What's going on? What are you doing in here?

You're just a servant!

Why are you manning the palace gates?

[MONET chuckles] Princess Viola.

I'm sure you're confused about what's happening.

Perhaps you should use your Clairvoyance

to get a closer look.

You might be surprised by what you see.

And while you're here,

why don't you welcome our new royal family to the throne?

[gasps]

Who are they? [gasps]

[MONET] Just relax.

You'll be coming with us, Princess Viola.

[SOLDIER A] The east tower has been hit!

[SOLDIER B] Pirates have breached the palace grounds!

[SOLDIER C] They've taken Princess Viola hostage!

The place is bigger than I expected.

Not too shabby.

[BUFFALO] Yeah! I could get used to this!

[MACHVISE] The Young Master will love this place,

it's got everything.

Halt, intruders!

[SOLDIER E] Are you Doflamingo's men?

[SOLDIER F] Monet! Let go of the Princess at once!

[SOLDIER D] Are you responsible for King Riku's behavior?

Move along, we've got a busy day ahead of us.

Let's start with "cleaning up" the palace grounds.

Be safe, Father!

[MAN BB screams]

[TOWNSPEOPLE screaming]

[DOLDO screams]

[DOLDO sobs]

[MAN CC] Why are you attacking us, King Riku?

[MAN DD screams]

[DOLDO] Please! I beg you! Stop!

[MAN EE screams]

[DOLDO] Stop!

[DOLDO] If there's no way to prevent me

from hurting my own people...

[DOLDO] ...then I'd rather be dead!

[DOLDO] Someone! Anyone! Please! Kill me!

[DOLDO sobbing]

[WOMAN A] Why, King Riku?

[WOMAN A] Have we done something wrong?

I don't understand.

[WOMAN A] How did it come to this?

[WOMAN A] You were always... a fair and just king to us.

[WOMAN A] You told us that you needed all of our money.

[WOMAN A] And we brought you everything we had.

[WOMAN A] We trusted you,

because you always put your people first, no matter what.

[WOMAN A cries] You were our pride and joy!

[BOY A crying]

[MAN A sobbing] King Riku...

I can't believe you've forsaken your kingdom like that!

How could you?

He took our money and he slaughtered our people!

He tossed us aside to satisfy his own desires!

[MAN C] King Riku, you monster!

[MAN C] I hate you.

[MAN C] You're...

You're nothing but a low-down dirty scum-bag!

[TOWNSPEOPLE screaming, crying]

[MAN KK] Here comes The King's Army!

Hurry! Get out of there! Run!

[gasping] No! Help!

[ALL gasp]

[MAN LL] Who are you people?

[DOFLAMINGO chuckling]

We have come to rescue this broken kingdom.

So say hello to your new ruler, Don Quixote Doflamingo!

Th-Those are pirates!

[WOMAN F gasps]

They're pirates?

[gasps]

[MAN MM] They came to rescue us? What's that supposed to mean?

[MAN NN] They're saving us from the royal army. But why?

[MAN J gasps] King Riku's here!

[TOWNSPEOPLE scream]

Here's where I make my heroic debut.

Are you enjoying this dance, King Riku?

[DOLDO groans]

[DOLDO screams]

[TOWNSPEOPLE gasping]

Trebol! Pica! Diamante!

Come out, it's go time!

Now, get out there and cleanse this country of its trash!

He saved us. He saved us all!

He's a hero!

We somehow survived!

[TOWNSPEOPLE cheer]

[MAN OO] Doflamingo! Doflamingo!

[TOWNSPEOPLE] Doflamingo! Doflamingo! Doflamingo!

[DOFLAMINGO chuckles]

Look at that. They embrace violence easily.

[DOFLAMINGO cackling]

[CROWD yelling]

Fight!

[COMPETITOR A] You coward!

[MAN QQ] I'll never forgive your family for what they did!

[MAN RR] Do everyone a favor and drop dead!

[MAN SS] Chop her into pieces!

[MAN RR] You're a piece of crap! Boo!

[MAN SS] Go to hell!

[cackling]

In just a single night, the kingdom fell

into the vile hands of Doflamingo.

That's a terrible story! Oh man, what a nightmare!

How utterly ruthless.

[cries] I already hate that Doflamingo guy!

Regrettably we fell for it, too.

Thinking that King Riku had lost his mind,

we reached out to the new king

and were duped into our current circumstances.

I'm so ashamed of myself for ever trusting him.

So sad! That's a real shame.

It must be so frustrating to know the once beloved

king of this country was set up and tragically died a hated man.

Not quite.

For King Riku is still alive.

Huh?

Princess Viola had an ability that Doflamingo was

particularly drawn to.

So she made a bargain with him.

If you promise to let my father live, then I'll submit to you!

Please! Anything! Just spare him!

Still to this day, she works under Doflamingo's command.

Only now she is known as "Violet,"

one of the Family officers.

She's an officer?

Then King Riku is still alive thanks to her plea deal?

That's right.

He's still out there somewhere.

Perhaps in this kingdom even.

But I cannot imagine the anguish he's carried with him

these past ten years.

Nor how hard this must be on the former Princess.

Fear, anger, tears!

[KYROS] I wonder how she has fared over this past decade.

[KYROS] There is also the lasting pain the soldiers

have endured this whole time.

Just like King Riku, they were forced against their will

into violent acts against their fellow citizens.

[gasps] You mean Doflamingo didn't finish off

the royal soldiers that night?

Some soldiers surrendered to Doflamingo,

while others weren't so lucky and were slain in the chaos.

The known survivors are currently serving

as guards for him.

[FRANKY] Ugh! Good-fer-nothin' sell outs!

Perhaps so, but I believe it must've been

an agonizing decision for them.

[MAN TT] Murderers!

[DOFLAMINGO] They were only following orders

of a deranged king.

Forgive them and I will put these

blindly loyal soldiers to good use.

Oh man, this story is chock full of betrayal and suffering!

These tears are rusting me, bro!

[FRANKY sobs]

Oh, the humanity!

You poor people!

The suffering!

[KYROS] While a good number surrendered,

many men lost their lives that day.

But even when you add up those numbers,

it doesn't account for a kingdom's full army.

[FRANKY] Hm? Wait, what do you mean by that?

It sounds strange,

but it seems I've lost some memories.

Others have, too.

And how does that work exactly?

I have a theory.

Fraland, do you recall what I told you before?

When we are turned into toys,

we retain all our memories from when we were human.

But people around us, including our families,

lose theirs and forget we even existed in their lives.

What the heck?

They're completely unaware they've lost a loved one.

Even we toys can forget some details as well.

This is the most heartbreaking tragedy Dressrosa faces.

You mean, it's possible that even some of the toys

walking around town may have forgotten about

their friends and family?

[ROBIN] And that could include you as well.

Precisely.

But I do believe, even with their muddled minds,

that everyone turned into a toy

must feel vengeful towards Doflamingo.

[TOY MAN A] Damn it all!

How the hell did I get stuck being a toy?

[TOY MAN B] Get away from my wife, you scum bag!

Why won't the words come out?

[TOY MAN C] Damn Doflamingo!

[TOY MAN D] I curse his name!

[TOY MAN E] Isn't there anyone who could beat his ass?

[KYROS] Doflamingo attempted to bury the will of the people,

but that naturally only fueled the rage and insurgency

dwelling within the shadows of this kingdom.

They long for revolution!

The key to our victory lies with them.

That unknown quantity of

downtrodden and silenced individuals.

I'm on the same page now!

So you're counting on that advantage

to win this thing then, huh?

While the folks gathered here may not be

enough manpower to take on a Warlord and his lackeys,

you're betting that if you can recruit

all the downtrodden toys to join you,

it'll give you that extra edge!

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait. Are you seriously getting yourself pumped up

to take down Doflamingo, too?

Our only objective here is to destroy the damn factory!

We're ditching this place once it's mission complete!

Back me up, Robin!

I'll crush you, Doflamingo.

Yeah, what she said. Wha?!

Today will go down as the day of reckoning!

This morning's incident was a challenge from our enemies!

It is no mere coincidence

that brave Uso-land came to us today!

Divine intervention is telling us to fight!

[DWARVES] Yeah!

What "incident" again?

Doflamingo's brief abdication from the throne.

Oh. That? Well you see, uh...

Can you imagine the joy we felt when we heard word of the news?

We thought it was a miracle!

However, when we found it was a false report,

we felt as if we had dropped from the edge of heaven

into the boiling pits of hell!

And yet, instead of being trapped in our despair,

we decided to take the final stand today!

[FRANKY] Aw crap. That's on us, isn't it?

Despite being retired, you led your crew here anyway?

Regrettably, I've yet to find a successor to the Happosui Army.

If only I had a grandson to take my place.

Unfortunate.

It's not easy being a pirate, huh?

[DOLDO] Perhaps it's just my imagination,

but I feel like I'm forgetting something.

I experienced a phenomenon like this about ten years ago.

[BOO] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, where am I going?

Grandpa! Please, you gotta help!

[ABDULLAH] Oh no, what have they done to Abdullah, the lone wolf?

[JEET] What have they done to me, Jeet, the maverick warrior!

[ALL] Help!

[LUFFY] Zoro!

That stupid Rooster head guy!

He told me he was gonna show me the way but then he passed out!

Is Zoro even here?

[LUFFY gasps]

[BOTH] Hm?

Hey! Zoro! Yo, Kin'emon!

[NARRATOR] Luffy reunites with Zoro and the others.
