Did you know there's an awesometreasure at the end of this sea?!
And whoever gets it can be Kingof the Pirates! Isn't that exciting?!
Unheard-of adventures are waiting!
Bon voyage! Let that shred of courage grow
I caught a glimpse ofthe tail end to the future
The horizons everyonedreamed of were separate at first
but now they can be seenthrough a single telescope
A bitter compass of destinyis leading your heart astray
so turn the wheel in the other direction!
Bon voyage!
Toss aside your bonds and your past
We can surely smile despite that
Tears shed trying to achieveyour dreams aren't for naught
Precious in my life
I caught a glimpse ofthe tail end to the future
The Straw Hat Pirates have fallen rightinto the middle of the fortress Navarone.
Zoro was captured.
In addition, Luffy and theothers infiltrated the base,
and an impending crisis drewnearer to them each minute.
"The Navy's Dragnet Closes In!The Second Member Captured!"
Navy Command Branch 8...
That's the official name of Navarone.
People also call it the Navy'sstrongest, an impregnable fortress.
Its headquarters should bein that island in the center.
But that's about all we know.
We don't have to know things like that.
You want to investigate a fortress now?
Aren't ancient ruins enough for you, Robin?
Of course! We're in the enemy's midst.
Even so, we don't have the luxuryof looking around forever!
What I wanna know is whetherthe Going Merry is okay or not.
Where the heck did you go, Merry?!
It's probably reasonable to thinkthat it was seized by the Navy.
Geez...! How can you saysuch a thing so calmly?!
Even if we find the ship, how arewe going to get out of here?
Are you saying that the Navywill show us the way out?
W-Well...
That's why we should thoroughlyinvestigate first. Right?
I wouldn't be a pirate if Iwere scared of the Navy!!
I can't take this anymore. I'll leavethe thorough investigation to you.
My leg!
Robin! What the hell are you...?
Found them?!
No, sir!
Some of the Straw Hats'rehiding around here for sure!
Leave no stone unturned!
Yes, sir!
There's no way they can escape wheneven that Roronoa Zoro was captured.
Z-Zoro was?!
Are you all right, Long-nose?
D-Did you hear that?
This means they now know that it'sthe Straw Hat Pirates, not a ghost ship.
Our enemy's in a frenzy. Why don't youworry about yourself instead of the ship?
I don't care! Sorry, but that shipis more important than my own life!
I'm going! I've decided! So don'tget in my way anymore! Later!
He's impossible...
I've come all the way in astorm to such a remote base,
and they send no oneto escort me?! How rude!
Hm? Hey, you over there!
Yes, sir!
I'm supposed to meet thecommander of this base.
Inform them to send someoneto escort me immediately!
"Justice"
Yes, sir! Before that, please tell me whatbusiness brought you to our fortress.
I don't have to explain it to a mere private!
Excuse me, but may I haveyour division and rank?
I'm saying I don't need to explain it to you!
Contact your headquarters immediately!
Even if I did, I don't think it'd do any good.
What do you mean by that?!
Since Commander Jonathan is eatingright now, I think he's in the dining hall.
Then all you have to do is go tothe dining hall to talk to him, right?!
Um... don't you know the motto of Branch 8?
Motto, you say?
One! Wash your hands before eating!
Two! Never leave food on your plate!
Three! Never mention work while eating!
Four! After eating, make sure to brush...
That's enough! So to thecommander at this base,
eating is more important than aVIP sent by Navy Headquarters...
Is that what you're saying?
Yes, sir! That's correct!
All right, I get it. I'll go toyour headquarters on my own.
Before I go, I'll give you a piece of advice.
Find another job while you can.
Huh?
The hedgehog that has now becomeuseless in this area of sea...
The odd commander who stays inside,never setting even a foot outside of it...
The Navy doesn't need either of them at all now.
I'll probably report them toHeadquarters at some point.
Hmph! That darn badger! He'll nolonger be a commander in a few weeks.
Go ahead and enjoy the fewNavarone meals that you have left.
Guess it was just my imagination.
Navy Headquarters Inspection Division...
What a good person to bump into.
Whoa! Yum!
The new cook is pretty good!
It's just like what those guys whoate first thing in the morning said!
Everyone! The next 100 soldiers're waiting.
Hurry up and finish eating!
Aye aye, sir!
Here you go.
Hey, Jessica...
This is your usual dish, right?
Any problem, Commander?
Well, my men are carrying on aboutthe incredibly delicious food
prepared by the cooks from Marie Jois.
So I came here looking forward to it.
You don't like it? When I, the executivechief chef, cooked it for you myself?
You can't continue to eat the same kindof food as the younger ones, right?
It's a healthy dish filled withlots of love. Bon appetit!
But it has lots of vegetables as well...I don't like broccoli and carrots.
Branch 8's Motto 2!
Ah, um... A-All right... Here!
See? I'm eating it.
Whoa! This is yummy! This one's yummy, too!
Guys! Keep up the good work!
What's that newbie doing?!He's been sampling food all this time!
Don't worry about him. He only does tasting.
No matter how I look at him,he doesn't look like a cook
who was in charge of thekitchen at Navy Headquarters.
In contrast, look at you! You're very skilled!
You're quite popular among the soldiers, too.
Thanks. I'll write downmy recipes for you, then.
Prepare food for table 8! Please hurry up!
Aye aye... sir!!
For a beautiful lady, I'd go throughhell and high water! There!
Wh-Whoa!
Oh! That looks yummy! Okay!I'll take it to the table for you.
Hold it! If you touch that food,you won't be eating meals. Got that?!
Aye aye, sir!
I wonder if he really gets it...
In any case, the guy at table 8 sure is lucky.
She may not look it, but shecherishes her husband, so...
Oh? Jessica-san has a husband?
If you have time for chit-chatting, get to work!
Who the heck is this"luckiest guy in Navarone"?!
It's the Commander of this place, Branch 8.
What?! The Commander, you say?!
Crap! Luffy...!
Here you go!
Thanks. You can go now.
Aye, aye, sir!
This tastes just like theysaid it did. It's amazing!
This dish lives up to my expectations!
Yeah, you're right!
Let me have some, you cheapskate!
You certainly live up to my expectations!
Oops! Dammit! Looks like I was late!
Welcome, Straw Hat Luffy.
I'm Jonathan, the Commanderof Navarone, Branch G8.
Straw Hat, I don't wannaget violent in the dining hall.
But could you answer me one question?
If I answer, can I eat half of that stuff?
Hm? Not just half, you can eat it all.
Really? Then I'll take it.Sorry that I called you a cheapskate.
Idiot! Hurry up and get out!
No matter how hard I think,I can't figure out your purpose.
Right. It is said that Captain Smokeris the one who defeated Crocodile.
It's not as if you gained reputationin Alabasta, or even money.
What would someone like that want from us?
What did you come to this fortress base for?
What for? Well, when we fell fromthe sky, we happened to land here.
Hm?
The Grand Line really is an interesting place.
I've come to like this fortressquite a bit as well, you know!
You have good food here.I guess I'm just lucky.
Listen, Straw Hat. Even if you'vegot the power of a Devil Fruit,
it's impossible to escape Navaronewithout some sort of miracle.
I'll leave when I want to.
Even after you hear thatRoronoa Zoro was captured?
Zoro?
That idiot...!
Fortress guy, where's Zoro?
And if I tell you?
What else? I'm gonnago rescue him right away!
You don't have to be so hasty.We'll take you to the same place soon.
There's no point stayinghere any longer! Let's go!
Ahh!
Jessica-san...
Little did I know you were Straw Hats!
Your skills are too good for a pirate.
Give it up! Cooks in Navarone aretougher than your average marine!
Hmph! I come from a placewith many such cooks!
That said, I can't attack Jessica-san...
Now what should we do?
I'm starving!
Give us food!
Give us the new cook's famousridiculously tasty food!
Bring it already!
Wait! We're in the middle of something!
Now! Let's go!
Straw Hat!
See ya, fortress guy!
Our enemy is the Straw Hat Pirates!
Be ready to engage in battle at any time!
To uphold the honor of Navarone,we must capture them without fail!
Yeah!
Yipes! Those marines're too fired up!
It's really dangerous to keep playinghide and seek in our enemy's midst!
I'd better do something aboutmy appearance, at least.
Hm? Yeah... Hm... All right!
Transformation complete!Now I should be able to openly...
Hold it!
Ahh!
If you're a Navarone marine,you should dress neatly.
Huh?
This is why I say new recruits are trouble.
Yes, sir! I'll be careful, sir!
Um, by the way, I'd liketo ask you something, sir.
Do you know how to get to the dockwhere the Straw Hats' ship is?
It'll be six blocks down from over there.
Thank you very much... sir!
Hey! But the dock is...
That was all I needed to know, sir!
M-Merry! You're okay! Thank God!
A carvel-built caravel that uses a lateensail with a stern rudder in the center...
The model's a bit old,but it's really a good ship.
Huh?! Who are you?!
If you don't know me,then you must be a newbie.
Y-Yeah, sort of...
This ship must've hadquite a few wild journeys.
Though it's covered with patches,the repairs were done appropriately.
It's a happy ship filled with lots of love.
You can tell that much?!
It doesn't matter if it's aNavy ship or a pirate ship.
I can tell for the most part at the first glance.
That's quite a compliment! Thanks!
Idiot! I'm not praising you!
Well, don't get so upset! I like you!
You sure are perky for a newbie.
You haven't changed, putting pirate shipsin the same league as navy ships...
Hm?
Lt. Commander Drake, you need to waitat least a week to have the ship repaired.
It seems that marines these days
are under the mistaken impressionthat damaging ships is their job.
Thanks to that, docks are kept very busy.
Quietly...
Don't worry. I didn't come here tobother our veteran maintenance soldier.
Quietly...
I came for the other guy. Hey, you!
Quietly...
Y-Yes, sir!
Which unit are you with?!
Ugh! Wh-Wh-Which unit...?
You can't even tell me which unit you're with?!
Um, let me see... I think it's Unit 18, sir.
Unit 18 is a sniper unit, isn't it?
Don't you know that this dock is off-limitsexcept for the maintenance soldiers?
Um... I'd forgotten that, sir! I'm goingback to the sniper unit right away, sir!
There's no need for that!
No need?!
Take him!
Yes, sir!
What did I do?!
It was reported to me that asuspicious new recruit was seen.
By the way, Unit 18 isn't asniper unit, it's a supply unit.
Ah, my bad! That's right! It's a supply unit!
Stop it, you idiots!Where do you think you are?!
To us, the maintenance soldiers,this is a sanctuary!
If you shed even one drop of blood,you won't get away with it!
Pull back your swords.Take him to headquarters.
Yes, sir!
Hmm, so this is the man...
Commander, he insists that he's a marine,
but the circumstantial evidence clearlyindicates that he's one of the Straw Hats.
You!
Yes, sir!
What's your name?
It's a secret.
Which unit are you with?
It's a secret.
Why did you take the trouble to goto the dock where the pirate ship is?
It's a secret.
Secret, huh?
Yes...
Let's imprison him right awayand put the screws to him!
Now, hold on, Lt. Commander.
Come to think of it, I hear that a specialinspector from Navy Headquarters
was on board the Stan Mareythat arrived this morning.
Yes?
A special inspector?
C-Commander...!
It's natural that an inspector would hidehis name and division to investigate.
Th-That's ridiculous!An idiot like him wouldn't be...
I'm surprised that you figured it out.
That's what you'd expect fromthe Commander. You're right.
I'm a special inspector fromNavy Headquarters, Captain Usopp!
Is there any illegal activity in Branch 8?!
Are military laws and regulationsbeing properly followed?!
Are the marines full of enthusiasm?!
So, I disguised myself as a mereprivate to get the inside scoop.
That's the story!
We apologize, Captain!
Don't be ridiculous!
A special inspector has higherauthority than a branch commander!
There's no way an idiot like you could be one!!
Idiot? Idiot?!
What're you saying, Drake whoever,when you're a mere Lt. Commander?!
What?!
I can have you court-martialed forinsulting a senior officer, you know...
But...!
Do you wanna experiencethe Navy prison? Huh?
I'm sorry, Captain. I was thinkingabout sending someone to greet you,
but I got delayed. Please forgive me.
Well, so long as you understand...!
Commander! Special inspector Major Shepherd
from Navy Headquarters has arrived!
Got it.
The real one showed up?!
See, I was right!!
You son of a bitch! Acting so impertinent!
Ahh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
What's the matter?! What happenedto the spunk you had earlier?! Huh?!
I'm sorry.
What was that about the Navy prison?! Huh?!
I'm sorry.
What?! Are you apologizing?! I can't hear it!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Do you think such a ridiculousspecial inspector exists?!
I'm really sorry. I'm sorr...
Hm?
Nice to meet you, Commander Jonathan.
You'd better be prepared! Huh?You stopped apologizing?! Huh?!
R-Robin!
What is it?! Huh?! Where'sthe spunk you had earlier?!
Oh, I get it! She's disguising herself, too!
What was that about the Navyprison?! Huh?! Say that again!
All right, then...!
Hey, Major! I didn't knowyou were in Navarone as well!
H-Hey! It's me! Captain Usopp,also from the Inspection Division!
Did you forget me since you'vebeen traveling so much?!
Major Shepherd, do you know the Captain?
No, I don't know him.
Ahhhhhh!!
See?!
H-Hey! It's me! It's me! Hey!
Hey!!
Imprison him!
Now I'll start investigating Navarone, okay?
Please be my guest!We welcome you, Major Shepherd.
Thank you very much.
That darn Robin! Does she have agrudge against me or something?!
That's a betrayal!
You agree, don't you, Zoro?!
Dammit! If Robin had onlygone along with what I said,
I would've taken Merry back by now!
You should thank Robin.
Why should I?! Why should I?!
You've got me with you.
O-Oh... I see... She thought thatit'd be safer for me to be with you...
Robin was concerned about me...
But...
...is this place... safe...?
It might've been better if Ididn't check into it, because...
...that way I would've stillhad hope for the escape.
To think that there's only one escape route...
Zoro!!
Where are you, Zoro?! Zoro!!
Shut up! Be quiet!
Oh?!
Hey, this way!
In addition to Zoro, we've also captureda crew member with a long nose!
Straw Hat and the other members aredefinitely close by as well! Find them!
Yes, sir!
Hey, what should we do now, Captain?
Straw Hat and a very skilled cook...
A swordsman and a man with a long nose...
A doctor and nurse we've never seen before...
And one more...
...who calls herself Major Shepherd...
That makes seven people...Now it makes sense.
We've already capturedthe ship and two of them.
The rest of the Straw Hats are within my hands.
So, what will you do now, Monkey D. Luffy?
I'll just sit back and see what you can do...
Hurry up and get moving towards the future!
Let's move ahead, pursuing our dreams
All the answers are right here, pouring out
Rush forth, rush forth,on the road opened before us
Let's keep moving forward! We can do it!
We won't give in, we won't give in,even if the obstacle is big
It's nothing to be scared of,we can overcome it
Luffy, we're right here!!
Luffy, don't come!! No, Ichanged my mind! Come get us!
Hey, Zoro! What should I say?!
How should I know?! Tell them tocome if they want or something.
Well, that's...
Hang in there! I'll rescue you right a... waay...
What the..?! Oh, I see! This isthe Sea Prism Stone's doing!
Dammit! This is a trap!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Daring Luffy and Sanji!Their Great Rescue Operation!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
