Wealth, fame, power...
Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,
attained everything this world has to offer.
The words he uttered just before his death drove people to the seas.
My treasure? If you want it, you can have it!
Find it! I left everything this world has to offer there!
And so men head for the Grand Line in pursuit of their dreams!
The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
We're going to gather up all our dreams
and set out in search of something to find
ONE PIECE!
Compasses only cause delays
Delirious with fever, I take the helm
If the dusty treasure map has been verified, it's not a legend!
When it comes to personal storms,
simply ride aboard someone else's biorhythm
and pretend it isn't there!
We're going to gather up all our dreams
and set out in search of something to find
A coin in my pocket, and do you wanna be my friend?
We are, We are on the cruise!
We are!
Nami would never kill Usopp!
We're friends!
Who're friends, Luffy?
Don't make me laugh.
You're just a pathetic bunch of people cooperating with each other.
Now I see...
Yeah, that'd hit you hard.
To think that someone really showed up for her...
Friends, huh?
The most painful word for her...
So that's how Nami pretended to kill me and let me escape!
It looks to me like there's a reason she's in a fishman pirate group!
Please, don't get any more involved with this village.
Leave Nami alone.
I'll explain the circumstances.
I'll pass.
H-Hey!
I don't care about her past.
Where are you going, Luffy?!
For a walk.
Who's he?
"Untold Past! Female Warrior Bellemere!"
What a shock!
I guess we really did see a ship fall from the sky, huh?
It seems some unordinary humans have stepped foot on this island.
Who could it be? And why?
Look! Who's that?!
He's not from this island!
Oh? So those are fishmen?
H-Hey! Wait! You!
Huh? You called?
W-Who are you?!
What are you doing on this island?!
What does it matter to you?
Y-Yeah. You have a point.
I'm Luffy. I'm taking a walk.
A walk?!
Have fun!
You! Where are you headed?
Heck if I know!
He seems like a funny guy!
Just who is he?
He walked right by us, with no fear whatsoever.
He's a mysterious guy.
Bellemere?
And this person raised you and Nami?
Yeah, that's right.
How should I start to explain about Bellemere-san?
I fell asleep?
Huh? Nojiko?
Where could she have gone?
Just a little more, Bellemere-san.
Just a little more, and everything will return!
Cocoyashi Village,
the tangerine orchard, and even my dream!
It took eight years...
All done...
All done!
Now I just need to check that book...
Oh! Nacchan!
What's wrong?
Nothing! Nothing at all!
Oh, my!
Damn it, Nami! Not again!
--Oh? Did it again, Nacchan? --Let go!
--You just never learn! --I'm not a cat!
You idiot!
How many times do I have to tell you stealing is wrong?!
Bleh!
It's not my fault we're poor!
Cheapskate!
Bellemere!
Bellemere! Your no-good cat's been at it again!
Whadya want? You're annoying!
Oh! Welcome home, Nami!
I'm back!
Look! This is the umpteenth time!
She's even famous in the village now!
So?
Surely even you've shoplifted before, Gen-san?
This is why she acts this way!
I'm just kidding!
Alright. You paid for her, right?
B-Bellemere...
Thanks so much. I don't have money right now.
I'll pay you later...
...with my body.
D-Don't be s-saying things like that!
Look at you blush!
Oh? And why are you laughing?
Try that again and you'll get 100 spankings!
I'm sorry!
But I really wanted this book!
If you wanted it, why didn't you just tell me?
Because you wouldn't buy it for me anyway...
Of course I would!
We do have some money stashed away.
But the villagers said the climate's been so good lately
that you can get tons of tangerines from any old field,
and our tangerines won't sell good 'cause they don't go up in value.
They can mind their own business!
You're so dumb, Nami!
I would've stolen it way better!
I said no stealing!
I was just joking!
That hurts!
But you know, there's one thing for sure!
The maps you draw are really amazing, Nami!
First you learned how to draw sea charts, and now land maps!
This is a map of this island, isn't it?!
No one would ever think such a little kid drew this!
I'm studying navigation too now!
Navigation, too?!
It is Nami's dream!
Yeah!
I'm gonna use my navigation skills to travel to all the world's oceans!
And then I'm gonna make a world map of everything I see!
So your map of this island is your first step toward your dream, then?
Yeah!
A map of the world, huh?
Nami! Someday, you will make your dream come true!
I just know it!
Hey, Bellemere-san.
You haven't been eating meals lately...
I've been eating tangerines, though.
I'm on a diet!
I don't need any meals, either...
What're you taking interest in guys for?
Kids need to eat right!
You keep lying!
You don't have any food because we don't have any money!
For reals?!
--You're suffering, so that we can... --Diet!
You shouldn't underestimate the beautifying power of tangerines!
They're the reason I still have such lustrous skin at the age of 30!
But your hands are yellow.
Just shut up and eat!
Here you are, Nami! All done!
A super custom-made Bellemere brand!
Another hand-me-down from Nojiko?
Here we go! It looks great on you, Nami!
This lion used to be a sunflower!
It can't be helped!
You're two years younger than me, you know!
Age has nothing to do with it! I want new clothes too!
Mine are old clothes too, you know!
You get my stuff 'cause you're my baby sister! Blehh!
But I'm not your real sister!
We're not related by blood!
Nami!
Bellemere-san!
So what if you're not related by blood?!
Never say anything stupid like that again!
W-Whatever...
You're not our real mother, either!
You'd be better off without us, wouldn't you?!
That way, you could eat,
buy all the clothes you want, and be free!
I wish...
I wish someone richer had adopted me instead!
I-Is that so?
Fine, then! Do whatever!
If you hate this house that much, then go leave for somewhere else!
Stop it, you two!
I will leave!
Nami!
Nami!!
Bellemere-san...
The three of us are a family!
I'm sure Nami feels the same way!
She didn't mean what she said!
You're a strong person, Nojiko.
That was real immature of me.
Could you go bring Nami back for me?
I'll have a super delicious supper ready before you get back!
Okay!
Okay, Miss! I'll lower it to this much!
Eh? Lower it a little more!
Right over here! Low prices! Low prices!
It wouldn't hurt to buy any of these fresh fruits lined up here!
So, coming here from the outskirts of the village is "running away"?
That's sure nice and convenient!
Here. Drink up before it gets cold!
Bellemere-san would be happier if we were gone.
Why do you think that?
Having two children costs lots of money...
And everyone in the village hates her, because of me...
You're old enough to consider others now, huh?
Don't worry.
She was a famous brat in this village when she was your age, too.
Bellemere-san was?!
Even now, she's still quite a brat in the villagers' eyes!
How shocked the village was when that brat suddenly said
she was going to be a marine...
A marine?!
Bellemere-san was a marine?!
Yeah.
Pirates have to pay for slaughtering innocent people...
With those words, she left the village.
She says she felt her time to die had finally come...
Oh, well...
Your baby sister?
No. I don't know who she is.
You have no idea how that makes me feel...
And that was you, Nami.
When she saw you, Bellemere mustered up the will to live again.
It is a boat! I knew it!
On a stormy night like tonight?! Who on earth could it be?!
Doctor! Call the doctor!
Bellemere? Is that you, Bellemere?!
Bellemere!
What is this?!
Who are these children?!
Doctor! They have terrible fevers!
They've been completely worn out by the storm!
What?!
Alright! But we need to tend to those nasty wounds of yours, too!
Just hurry!
Please! Don't let them die! Save those kids' lives!
I beg of you!
What did you just say, girl ruffian?!
I'm going to be these kids' parent. That's what I said.
You can't!
Don't do it!
A punk like you can't possibly raise children!
T-Take my advice! Give them to a government institution!
I've already decided!
I'm an adult now, too. I was even in the navy.
I think I'm a little more upstanding now.
I'm going to take the responsibility of raising these kids.
I'm going to raise them to be wonderful people
who won't lose to the era we live in!
I'm going to live with these kids.
Nami and Nojiko gave me life.
You girls have a bond that goes far deeper than a real family's.
Nami! I thought you'd be here!
N-Nojiko!
Bellemere-san is waiting for us!
She's making a yummy supper!
Okay!
I bet it's your favorite! Omelets with tangerine sauce!
Yes!
Yay! Omelets!
How time flies...
Children once on the brink of death, now so full of life...
Watching them grow up is like a joy for all of us!
Yeah!
We won't feel happy until we see that family of three happy! Right?!
Yay! Yay!
Pirates, everyone!
Pirates are coming!
Pirates! Everyone hide!
It's the Arlong Pirates!
Arlong?!
That can't be!
What are fishmen from the Grand Line doing here?!
Was the rumor about a split in the fishman pirate group true?!
Nami! Nojiko!
Gen-san!
It's dangerous here! Hide in the back woods!
Eh? But...
Go! Now!
You seem to be in excellent spirits, pathetic humans!
As of this moment, this village--
no, this island is now under my control!
Listen up!
On this memorable day, you will all buy your lives from me!
100,000 Berries per adult. 50,000 Berries per kid.
Those who can't pay... die!
What do we do, Nojiko?
We can't pay that much!
But they might not spot our house!
You can't see it from the village!
How much did we get, brother?
Just over 25 million, I'd say.
Excellent!
Sounds like we'll hafta pay for our lives every month
at 100,000 Berries per person from now on!
100,000?! We can't make a living that way!
Endure it for now!
We should just be glad no one in the village has died.
If money is all that's needed, it's an easy price to pay.
I at least hope they'll leave without noticing Bellemere's house.
With the two children, it would come to 200,000 Berries...
I doubt she has that much saved up.
Alright! Time to go, brothers!
Arlong-san! There's smoke coming from outside the village!
Okay!
Alright, let's see!
Too delicious!
Nothing's quite like Bellemere's Special Tangerine Sauce!
Nami and Nojiko are gonna leap out of their seats!
The smoke is coming from a house!
Oh? We almost missed it.
Damn!
Bellemere-san!
Let's go! Let's collect our money!
Whoa, this is bad! The pirates...
...are headed to Bellemere's house!
Hey! Nojiko and Nami are gone!
What?!
Ten more minutes for the duck in the oven. And the stew is boiling.
This'll be a big blow to our family budget.
But I guess I'll splurge, anyway!
Bellemere-san's gonna... Bellemere-san's gonna...
Bellemere-san's gonna be killed!
My overflowing feelings don't connect
as I firmly squeeze your hand back
I'll set off by myself,
so keep watching me intently as I go into the distance
I was thinking about it a bit since this morning
Why is it so hot?
Starting from some point, I haven't been able to get away from that
I want to catch those feelings that rushed off,
and I'm already about to overtake myself, even
I want to embrace my dreams that have jumped out
With you, I can run there
Oh! How cute Nami-san was as a child!
Geez, were you even listening to the story?!
Of course I was!
I'd listen to every single word that's about Nami-san! Got that?!
Yes, I'm sorry. Wait, why am I apologizing?!
Is it over? Where's Luffy?
He was really sleeping?!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Survive! Mother Bellemere and Nami's Bond!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
