shinjita sono saki e to...

To the future I believe in...

The time is the Great Pirate Era.

Countless pirates fight \Ndesperately for the One Piece,

the great treasure left behind by \NGold Roger, King of the Pirates.

Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned \Nto rubber after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,

also takes to the sea to become \Nthe next King of the Pirates.

As Luffy and his friends \Novercome numerous adventures,

the World Government is less and \Nless able to ignore their existence.

This is exciting!

What kind of adventure \Nis waiting for us next?!

The crew, on its way to the New World,

will speed along the Grand Line again today!

After losing his brother Ace during \Nthe War of the Best against the Navy,

Luffy was consumed with unbearable sorrow.

However, 10 years ago, in the East Blue...

What did you do?!

Ace!

Don't do it!!

"Where can freedom be found? \NA Sad Departure of a Boy!"

Dadan!

Stop it, you sea cretin!

Let go of Ace!

What are you guys doing here?

Finally we found you!

These are pretty serious \Nwounds, Luffy! Are you okay?

Dogra...

I don't see Sabo anywhere!

Sabo went home. He's not here.

Ace!

You're the boss monkey from Mt. Corvo!

I'm the mountain bandit - Dadan!

I don't know why but I'm registered \Nas their foster parent.

I won't stand by and watch someone \Ntry to take my boys' lives...

...even if I'm not their real parent!

I'll just let you go if you back away.

If you don't, I'll have \Nto resort to violence!

Try it!

Oh yeah? Alright then...

Run!

Yes, boss!

Hey, what're you doing?!

Ace, hurry up!

Ace!

I...

...won't run!

What're you saying, Ace?! \NDon't try to fight him!

Bluejam is a real villain!

He's not a guy that a kid like you can beat!

--L-Let me fight, too!\N--No, Luffy!

You all, why don't you \Ntake Luffy and go ahead!

B-Boss!

I'll take responsibility \Nfor bringing Ace home!

Boss!

Go!

--Y-Yes, ma'am!\N--Ace!

Boss! Come home safely!

A woman and a child.

If you overestimate your \Nability, you'll only get hurt!

Only the strong and the \Ncowardly survive in wars!

The brave always die.

Is that so?

What a fool!

Damn!

I'm a dead man! The fire \Nis all over the place!

How could this happen all of the sudden?!

--It's hot! It's hot!\N--There's no way out!

We have to give up!

What just happened?

There's a path!

The explosion left a path!

I don't know what's going \Non but this is great!

Hey look, there is a ship!

I see a ship!

This path leads up to the shore!

We can get away by following it!

Let's go before the fire returns!

How awful they are to burn the \Narea and the residents there!

By the way,

how did you know the situation in such \Nan outlying country in the East Blue?

Is there something special \Nabout this country?

This country is an example of how \Nthe world will be in the future.

There can be no happiness in a world

\Nwhere the undesirables are thrown away.

Someday, I will change the world!

If I stay here... I'll never be free!

Even in a country like \Nthis, there are children.

Those of you who are willing to \Nfight for freedom, come aboard!

GOA KINGDOM "ROYAL PALACE"

HIGH TOWN

Did they find Sabo?

I just called in the military. \NThey'll find him soon.

I see. Sabo is giving us \Na hard time, isn't he?

Yeah...

Is this town really safe?

It looks like the fire will \Nengulf the town any minute!

Isn't there any way to enter High Town?

No, there isn't.

They don't even allow a bug \Nto enter - nobles only!

--Boss!\N--Boss!

Ace!

Boss!

Ace!

Boss!

Ace and Dadan didn't return \Nfrom the burning Gray Terminal.

Easy, easy, wait, Luffy. You're not \Nrecovered - where're you going?

I gotta go and look for Ace and Dadan!

You can't do that!

Ouch!

See? That's what I told you.

You're seriously wounded. You \Nhave to rest nice and easy.

There are a lot of troops \Nin the Gray Terminal now

to take care of the mess after the fire.

It's not just burned junk \Nthat they're throing out,

but survivors, too.

They're gonna kill you if you go there.

But...!

I wanna see Ace!

I know that Sabo is worrying about us, too!

THE FORMER SITE OF THE GRAY TERMINAL

What a great view!

How can you be so happy?

It's a pain in the butt \Nto clean up this mess!

If we find a survivor, we're \Nto shoot them on sight.

There aren't any.

But there aren't as many dead \Nbodies as I thought there'd be.

It was a big fire. It could've \Nburned out the bones.

I was nervous yesterday,

thinking that the \Nfire might get to this side of the wall.

They say that Bluejam's \Nship was on fire, too.

It's nice to know that \Nthose villains got burned!

It's morning!

Hi! it's a nice day, isn't it?

Yes, it is a lovely morning!

There are still so many of them!

Enough with this game of tag, okay boy?

No matter how many times you \Nrun, you can't get away, Sabo!

All the police and troops \Nhave a picture of you now!

You will never get out of High Town...

or even out of this house!

You two, change your uniforms and \Nstart working here as guards.

But we have our duties...

There is nothing that a nobleman can't do.

I'll get the approval of your superiors.

Sabo, you must barricade \Nyourself in your room

and educate yourself in your role as a noble!

No!

As you know, I can make things \Nhappen just by giving the word.

So I can take care of \Nyou or those two easily.

Am I understood?

Dad...

Ace... Luffy...

So why don't you mend your ways \Nand study hard like Stelly.

And...

...study so that you can make your parents,

who brought you into the world, happy!

Because that will make you happy, too!

Don't you think so?

Father!

Don't worry! I'm here for you!

You're so dependable, Stelly!

Okay, Let me buy you some luxurious clothes

for the ceremony the day after tomorrow.

There, we'll see the \NCelestial Dragon in person!

I'm... helpless!

Okay, that's it for today.

I'll check your homework tomorrow.

Okay, have a nice day!

Ace... Luffy...

I don't think that you died in the fire.

You guys are okay, aren't you?

I wish I could see you.

But I know I'll put you guys in \Ndanger if I try to see you now.

This place is like a birdcage!

I don't think I can stand living in \Nthis country filled with stale air.

What is freedom?

Where can I find it?

Your shift is over.

Is it the time already?

You shouldn't be sleeping on the job.

Sorry. By the way, how \Nare things in the town?

The ceremony is just a day away, right?

It's crazy. People are going \Nwild getting ready for it.

What bad luck!

It's a once-in-a-lifetime \Nthing but I got to be here.

This boy and I will be the only \Ntwo in this house tomorrow.

I wanted to see the Celestial Dragon.

It depends on your attitude.

All the citizens will be \Nat the harbor tomorrow.

It'll be such a pain to stand guard there,

compared with this baby-sitting gig!

Then, why don't you take my place?

No way!

Alright, we're leaving now.

Take good care of Sabo.

Yes, sir.

The day of the World Noble \Nfrom the Grand Line's visit

to the Goa Kingdom has arrived.

A lavish ceremony is prepared \Nfor the arrival of the ship.

Ring, ring, ring... Ring, \Nring, ring... Clank!

Hello, this is A-team on the coast.

The Celestial Dragon's ship \Nwill arrive in a few minutes.

Roger that. It's all quiet here.

We'll continue to stand guard.

Clank!

Hey, look! There is a ship leaving port!

--What?\N--Is it a fishing boat?

Hey! Come back here! Don't get \Nin the way of the ceremony!

It's a child! There's a child on the ship!

A child? I wonder which family he's from.

A child?

Honey, could it be...?!

No, that's impossible! The \Nguard is looking after him!

What a nice day! It's \Nperfect for setting sail!

Oh no! That's mine! Somebody \Nstole my fish boat!

Look! He has a black flag on it!

Does he think that he's a pirate?!

No way! A kid can't just become a pirate!

--Where is he heading?\N--He's disrupting the ceremony.

The Government's ship will arrive soon!

Hurry up and do something!

Y-Yes, sir!

Hey!

Kid, come back here now!

The scariest fate for me is to \Nlose myself in this country and...

turn into someone else!

I'm not gonna go back!

Is it Sabo on that ship?

The Government's ship is here!

The ship is huge!

I'll die if I crash into it.

Let's avoid that.

Good. He's turning away.

It seems like the commoners are welcoming us.

Yes.

They're so blessed that \Nit's rare to even see them!

I can't believe that a real \NCelestial Dragon is on that ship!

By the way, what is that?

That looks like a fish boat.

It'd be nice to be captain \Nof a ship like that someday!

Commoner!

How rude is that!

The fishing boat has been hit!

Ace and Dadan return to their hideout.

As everyone is rejoicing \Nover their safe return,

they learn of the tragedy \Nthat struck Sabo at the port.

Realizing with sympathy \Nwhat Sabo had tried to do,

Luffy and Ace are befallen \Nby regret and grief.

On the next episode of One Piece!

"Take Good Care of Him! A \NLetter from the Brother!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
