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.

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.

Luffy had intended to win a tournament

that promised the Flame-Flame fruit to the champion,

but abandoned that plan when Law was captured by Doflamingo.

Now, he rushes to the palace to save him.

[USOPP] Special Attack... Green Star Platanus!

Shuriken!

[LUFFY] "A Fateful Encounter! Kyros and King Riku!"

[USOPP panting]

Usoland!

[ALL] Usoland!

[ALL] Usoland!

[DWARVES] Usoland!

I did it.

All that's left is Sugar.

I hate to beat up a little girl,

but I don't think we're gonna settle this over hopscotch.

I have to get that Tatababasco grape in her mouth somehow.

You moron. I can't believe you lost to him.

Just die, Trebol, really.

[TREBOL] I didn't lose! And I'm not gonna die!

[USOPP whimpers]

[GROUP gasps]

[laughs]

[shrieks] This guy is super creepy!

Hey, y'know, you probably would've survived

if you had just kept running away.

But since you bothered to come back, you're dead. [chuckles]

[gasps]

[DON QUIXOTE PIRATE A] There was a report that you were

on the first floor, sir.

[DOFLAMINGO] Huh? What're you talking about?

[BUFFALO] Maybe it was someone who looks like you?

No biggie, right?

[DOFLAMINGO] Who the hell looks like me?

Something's going on.

[KYROS] King Riku.

[KYROS grunts]

[KYROS] This is a fine sword.

If I turn back into a human, this will do.

[VIOLET grunts] Straw Hat.

My father was fighting in the coliseum today.

Uh? The old king?

[VIOLET] He was spurred into action after

Doflamingo lied about his abdication.

Today, I decided to fight back, like him.

[KYROS] King Riku was fighting in the coliseum?

[panting]

[GUARD A] There was a squabble in the slums;

two people are dead.

The murderer is a teenage boy.

We have him surrounded!

Nowhere to go!

[KYROS yells]

[GUARDS groaning]

What's with this kid?

This is bad. We might have to open fire.

[KYROS growls]

[GUARD G] You can't shoot him!

He's just a child!

Yeah, but--

[KYROS growls]

[GUARDS gasp]

[GUARDS gasp] King Riku?

My lord, wait! He's far too dangerous!

Stay away!

He might look like some young punk,

but he's known throughout

the whole kingdom for his strength.

I don't care if you're the stinkin' king or not!

Anyone who steps up to me is going to suffer for it! [yells]

[DOLDO grunts]

[GUARD G] The king is in danger! Open fire!

[DOLDO] No! Don't shoot! Put your guns down!

[GUARD J gasps] But, my lord.

I heard you were in a terrible fight--

that you were all on your own, against dozens of angry thugs.

And in the end, more than half of them were badly injured.

And two were killed.

That's true.

But they ganged up on my best friend and murdered him.

I was only taking revenge for his death!

What are you, a beast?

[KYROS] Call me whatever you like!

You haven't lived my life-- you don't know a damned thing!

My friend, he... was like a brother to me, all right?

He was the only person I ever trusted.

Kyros, was your name?

[growls]

[KYROS grunts, gasps]

He could attack! Step away!

Be careful, my lord!

[DOLDO chuckles] Come with me, please.

[CROWD cheering]

[GYATS] The 15-year-old murderer, Kyros,

is facing off with one of our seasoned veterans!

[MAN A] This coliseum is a sacred place!

[MAN B] A killer like you doesn't belong here, damn it!

[MAN C] Teach that little bastard a lesson!

--[bell rings] --[GYATS] And begin!

[GLADIATOR A] Sorry, killer, but those sword blades are blunt

so that we don't murder each other.

That's not gonna stop me

from breaking some of your bones, though! [grunts]

[bell ringing]

[GYATS] It's over in a flash! The winner is Kyros!

The teenage murderer smashes heads and expectations!

Get up and fight me again! [yells]

That's enough! Stop!

That's true skill!

If his blade wasn't blunt, he would've killed that man!

I'd call it savagery, but here, it's "skill."

[DOLDO] How is Kyros doing?

[GUARD CAPTAIN A] He nearly killed

all the convict gladiators he was held with.

He hasn't eaten for six days

and keeps shouting "Call King Riku!" again and again.

[KYROS] Dammit!

[GLADIATORS whimper]

[DOLDO] What is it, Kyros?

[KYROS] King Riku! What the hell are you trying to pull?!

If you're going to execute me, then do it already!

You can shoot me or hang me or whatever you like!

Do you truly want to die?

Or is this just regret?

Regret? I was foolish to think you understood me.

If you just brought me here to suffer, then kill me!

Let me die, damn it!

[DOLDO] The gladiatorial contest that you fought in

was not some meaningless display of carnage

nor was it a punishment.

Rather, it is a tradition that has continued for centuries.

A sacred event, in which fighters

discipline their mind and hone their spirit.

I think you'd make a fine gladiator.

A gladiator? Really?

[GUARD CAPTAIN A] King Riku is willing to release you on parole

if you're able to win 100 matches.

Even if it takes years,

that's how you may earn your freedom.

[CROWD cheering]

[MAN D] Kick that murderer's ass!

[CROWD] Down with Kyros!

[GLADIATORS grunting, groaning]

[GYATS] That's 20 consecutive victories for Kyros!

He's truly a formidable fighter!

[GLADIATOR F groans]

[GYATS] Fifty consecutive victories!

Yeah!

[GYATS] One hundred consecutive victories!

Even our strongest gladiators fell before the might of Kyros!

It's hard to believe,

but he's won his freedom in no time at all!

He's too strong. That's crazy!

That killer doesn't deserve to be free!

Huh?

Hey!

Come on! Think about it!

If they let him out of here,

then what's going to stop that monster from killing again?

She's right.

[CROWD shouting]

[MAN H] Yeah! I don't want that guy anywhere near my family!

[MAN I] You can't set him free!

[MAN J] Keep fighting till you die, bastard!

[DOLDO] You're going to stay here?

[KYROS] I can't go where I'm not wanted.

Hm. That's strange.

You care about other people's opinion all of a sudden?

[KYROS] Shut up!

[KYROS] I should've known.

People only like beasts as long as they stay in a cage.

Wherever I go, there's no place in this world where I belong!

If that's what they want,

I'll fight and die like an animal!

[GYATS] Two hundred victories!

[MAN K] Somebody, take that guy out!

[WOMAN C] Make him pay!

[GYATS] Three hundred victories!

The heroes line up one after another,

but Kyros cuts them down to size!

[CROWD cheers]

[GYATS] Unbelievable!

We're witnessing an unprecedented 1,000th victory!

[WOMEN] Go, Kyros!

Nice work! You're awesome!

[KYROS] Before I knew it,

the ire of the crowd had transformed into adoration.

And yet, I could still find no peace.

[KYROS groaning]

[KYROS gasps, panting]

[DOLDO] Here again, Kyros?

Listen.

[KYROS] Go away!

Don't you understand?

No matter where I go,

for the rest of my life, I'll be a beast.

A murderer!

[KYROS crying]

[gasps]

I wish... this world...

...would forget about me!

[KYROS groaning]

[KYROS, DOLDO grunt]

[GYATS] The mysterious masked man,

known only as "Ricky," has climbed the ranks

to do battle with our champion!

[MAN M] You got this, Kyros!

[DOLDO grunts]

[GYATS] On the brink of his 3,000th victory,

Kyros seems all but unstoppable, and yet,

Ricky refuses to submit to defeat!

[gasps]

[GYATS] You don't see that every day!

Ricky lands a clean hit on the mighty Kyros!

Actually, this is the first time anyone

has landed a clean hit on Kyros in his entire tenure here!

[DOLDO groans]

--[bell ringing] --[GYATS] And it's over!

Kyros continues his streak!

Three thousand battles and

three thousand victories over nine years!

He's a living legend!

You might even say the word "invincible"

was invented to describe this man!

Damn it. You're the leader of this kingdom!

Riku, why?

[DOLDO] I became quite strong

after training with you, didn't I?

But you lowered your guard

as soon as you noticed it was me.

You're not such a beast after all.

[DOLDO] You've punished yourself enough.

It's already been nine years.

Nearly a decade of your life, locked away in this cage.

[KYROS gasps]

[DOLDO] There's something important I need you to do

on the outside, Kyros.

Rather than regretting the lives that you took in the past,

you should devote yourself to saving lives in the future.

I think you can find meaning in that.

Yes, sir!

[CROWD cheering]

[MAN O] We're counting on you, Kyros!

[WOMAN G] Kyros! Thanks for all your hard work!

[ADMIRERS] Kyros! Protect me!

We love you!

Captain Kyros, so popular with the ladies!

But I haven't forgotten that you're a killer!

Honestly!

Father shouldn't allow you inside the palace.

I object to it!

[BOTH] Please, Princess Scarlet!

That's cruel! Stop it! Digging up his old trauma!

[SCARLET] The captain of the guard is supposed to

be a symbol of righteousness, not this.

[VIOLET] Scarlet!

[SCARLET] Even if you can fool the rest of the kingdom,

you'll never fool me!

You'll show your true colors soon enough!

Don't you dare lay a finger on me or my sister.

You keep your distance. Understand?

[KYROS grunts]

Huh. I dunno.

He's not like that.

[SCARLET] Stop it! You shouldn't look!

His mind's probably filthy!

But... my job is to... protect you!

[SCARLET] No thanks!

--[gasps] --[rumbling]

[TOWNSPEOPLE scream]

[TOWNSMAN A] Lady Scarlet has been kidnapped!

[TOWNSMAN B] Curse those pirates!

[TOWNSMAN C] What happened to her bodyguards?

[TOWNSMAN D] All defeated!

[TOWNSMAN A] No way!

[TOWNSMAN D] What should we do?

[SCARLET] Hm?

[PIRATE A] Take it easy, Princess.

Don't touch me!

Oh-ho! No use strugglin'. No one's gonna save you.

I bet her daddy's scared. Let's send him a ransom notice.

I'm sure he'll cough it up real quick!

[PIRATE C] Nice idea! We'll be loaded in no time!

We gotta kidnap princesses more often!

[PIRATES chuckle]

[KYROS grunts] Princess!

[PIRATE A groans]

[PIRATE B groans]

You made it!

Who the hell are you?

[KYROS] I'll handle this. Stay behind me.

[SCARLET] Hm!

Mm-hm.

As for you...

--[KYROS yelling] --[PIRATES groaning]

[KYROS snarls]

[PIRATES groaning]

[SCARLET gasps]

It should be safe now.

Are you injured?

I--

Thank you.

[gasps]

[yells] F-Forgive me for touching you!

[KYROS stammers]

I know you told me not to!

[whimpers]

[KYROS grunting]

[SCARLET] Kyros! I was so scared!

[KYROS screams] Forgive me!

Forgive me! [stammering]

[BOTH gasp]

[VIOLET] I can't believe Scarlet is cooking!

[DOLDO] I wonder what's gotten into her!

[KYROS stammers]

[DOLDO] What did you say?

You want to resign as the royal bodyguard?!

This is rather sudden, don't you think?

Uh, well, I--

Don't tell me you've fallen in love with Princess Scarlet!

[KYROS gasps] With a beautiful princess like her?

No! I could never!

Kyros!

[gasps]

I am...

Hero of the coliseum and captain of the guards,

married to the eldest princess.

My word.

The people would certainly

celebrate such a union in private at least.

But because of your past,

it would be condemned, I'm certain of it.

We're royalty.

That's how it is.

I don't care, Father!

If I can't marry him, I would rather die!

Understand?

[KYROS, DOLDO gasp]

[DOLDO gasps]

[MOURNER A] Taken from us so young!

[MOURNER B] I hear it was a sudden illness.

She would've become a fine queen someday.

[VIOLET crying]

[DOLDO] Scarlet.

As of today, you're no longer a member of the royal family.

Officially, you're not even alive anymore.

[SCARLET] Thank you.

I fear I've failed to repay your kindness.

You most certainly have, you lout!

But I'm more than happy to forgive you.

My boy, you've lived an amazing life.

[KYROS] Thanks to you, sir.

[REBECCA crying]

[SCARLET] Her name is Rebecca.

Kyros, she's your child!

Hold her.

[REBECCA giggles]

[KYROS yells]

I shouldn't touch such an innocent thing!

Not with these tainted hands.

It's not right!

[SCARLET chuckles] Your father's a strange man.

Sorry!

[giggles]

You're such a little angel, aren't you?

I'll watch over you.

I'll always be at your side!

[shouts] Your grandpa is here!

Yay, Grandpa!

You've gotten as tall as my palace, Rebecca!

Father, you can take off the disguise.

Huh? Kyros?

[KYROS] Gloves first! Gloves first!

My little girl, you're so cute.

Stop crying!

[DOLDO chuckles]

[REBECCA giggles]

[KYROS] I'd never thought I'd find such a happy life.

One filled with so much love.

[SCARLET] Uh? Be careful!

[KYROS] Unfortunately, that joy was all too brief.

[SCARLET chuckles]

[KYROS] It's already been ten years.

A fire? What happened?

[growls]

[growls]

King Riku.

[NARRATOR] Ten years ago, Kyros,

now only known as the Toy Soldier,

was tragically torn away from his loved ones.

In order to restore the gladiator's humanity,

Usopp begins a desperate battle with Trebol,

but it may take a miracle if he wants to make it out alive.

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!

"The Operation Failed! Usoland the Hero Dies?!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
