Did you know there's an awesome treasure at the end of this sea?!
And whoever gets it can be King of the Pirates! Isn't that exciting?!
Unheard-of adventures are waiting!
Bon voyage! Let that shred of courage grow
I caught a glimpse of the tail end to the future
The horizons everyone dreamed of were separate at first
but now they can be seen through a single telescope
A bitter compass of destiny is 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 achieve your dreams aren't for naught
Precious in my life
I caught a glimpse of the tail end to the future
While God Eneru was busy dealing with Sanji's last-ditch efforts...
...Usopp succeeded in rescuing Sanji.
Meanwhile, Luffy's group...
...headed up Giant Jack to settle the score with God Eneru.
"Gyaaaaa!"
Robin! Eneru's after the gold bell, right?!
And it's at the top of this vine, right?!
They had but a mere moment to enjoy their reunion,
for God Eneru, after repairing the Maxim, took action again!
Mamaragan.
Everyone! Hurry to the ship! I'll get Luffy and bring him back!
An exquisite view!
Don't assume things are gonna turn out how you want, Eneru!
Dammit! He isn't holding back! We gotta get outta here!
Everything's done for!
Is that where the detestable Shandoran warriors' hidden village is?
They're originally from the Blue Sea; surely they'd enjoy going home!
Now, then! Strike the world below!
Our village!
That was close! We'd be ashes now had we left any later!
In the name of Great Warrior Calgara...
...light the fire of Shandora!
Wyper.
Your distant ancestor, Great Warrior Calgara,
had another reason for being so determined to take back our homeland.
Another reason?
Yes. It was Calgara's greatest regret of all.
Listen. Great Warrior Calgara had a very close friend...
A close friend?
Yes. He met Calgara 400 years ago. His name was...
...Montblanc Noland!
"Led by a Bell's Sound! Tale of the Great Warrior and the Explorer"
This tale took place 400 years ago, and though it has never been written of,
it has been kept in people's hearts from one generation to the next.
It is a true story of a warrior known as a monster,
and an adventurer known as a liar.
Get on board, quick!
The Monster of Shandora is coming!
Hurry! Cast off! Cast off!
B-But there are still crewmen--!
Just get us out to sea!
He's here!
You must be eliminated!
Leave all your belongings and go!
R-Reporting, Commodore!
Our ship's stores have finally been exhausted,
meaning we're now... lost... at sea...
The cook's fainted!
Dammit! There's no food left!
The commodore fell into the ocean!
This is the Grand Line! Did he decide to drown himself and leave us?!
Maybe he was so starved he chose death?
Don't be stupid! He's a hero who's returned twice from these waters!
Then what're these carefully folded clothes and shoes for?!
H-Hey! Someone go check...
Screw that! It's a sea of monsters down there!
He's not coming back up!
Commodore!
Pretty nimble guy, he was. Here.
Eh? What's this rope?
Pull it in.
What is this, Commodore?!
Don't tell us you killed it underwater?!
Cook it up for us.
You really do lose your touch when you get lazy.
It's a huge storm, Commodore!
I bet so, given this swaying.
You bet so? Is that all?!
The yardarm's been busted!
--Where?! --Main! Main!
This third voyage has lasted over two years.
It's almost miraculous it has lasted so long.
Hey. Did you just hear something?!
Eh? Do you mean the thunder?
No, something beautiful, like a bell...
Priest! Try to keep your senses!
This land is cursed! At this rate, the Shandians will be wiped out!
H-How can we save the village, Priest?!
O-Offer... a girl!
At the sacrificial altar!
How many victims does that make?
Over a hundred...
What's going on?! This has never happened to us before!
If I can be of use, I will gladly give my life.
Why do you cry, Mom?
I'm about to be welcomed by the sun god!
Being chosen to be a sacrifice is a wonderful thing!
Thank you for raising me, Mom.
Mousse!
If this is a bad dream, let me wake up!
Dammit! Go away!
Go away!
Great Warrior Calgara...
Seto...
I wanted to be like you someday...
I wanted to be a brave warrior and fight to protect this land!
I don't wanna die because of something like this!
You're amazing, Commodore!
There really was an island in the direction you said to turn to!
Yes, what a relief. We can ride out the storm here.
Still, did you guys really not hear it?
Nope. None of us heard any bells. Right?
Yeah! You must've been hearing things, Commodore!
What a magnificent forest!
I hope we find good research materials!
Commodore! Was that the sound you heard?!
Hey, now! Don't tease me!
I'd never mistake the sounds of this odd bird for something else!
C-Commodore! Was this--
Wow... What a beautiful tone...
Seems there are people here!
H-Hold on, Commodore! Wait!
Someone's lying on the ground!
Damn it... Intruders!
Hey! Kid!
Commodore! This kid doesn't look right!
Wait, you!
Let go!
It's the Kinetsu plague. He hasn't been treated at all.
T-This island is bad news!
Doctor! Do we have any Conine left?!
Inject this lad and all of us immediately!
This is bad. Even the crops are being eaten away at...
Commodore! All the houses are filled with the sick!
Take the girl to the altar!
God of the sun... God of the rain...
God of the forest... God of the earth...
In exchange for this girl's life, please save our village!
It's the Kashi God!
Mousse!
Let her go! It's for the village!
The Kashi God has such a divine form!
Please save my mother!
Please save my son and father!
What the--?! Something fell!
What's that?!
What on earth?! Who is that?!
Kashi God!
God-killer!
The ceremony is over.
You must've been really frightened.
You're safe now! There's no need to die!
Kashi God! Please forgive us!
We're all going to be cursed!
Kill! Give more lives to the gods! Before we incur their wrath!
Calgara! Kill him!
Sounds like he did something bad!
They're really freaking out!
He doesn't know how to ignore!
He killed a god? What's that mean?!
Tribal rituals ain't something you mess around with!
Quell the gods' anger, Great Warrior Calgara-sama!
I am an explorer from the North Blue, Montblanc--
It doesn't matter who you are! You must be eliminated!
Is this how you've eliminated all the few, yet vital advancements?!
You're in no place to criticize! Atone to the gods where you stand!
Who is that man?! He's holding his own against Calgara!
There! Use that knife to take your life!
What?!
A sacrifice meant to save the village, crying because she wants to live...
Have you no shame?!
Don't be a fool!
Stop!
C-Commodore!
For centuries we've strictly upheld the commandment
that all intruders on this island must be punished!
What's more, you're a god-killer! You, alone, won't be enough!
You and all your men will pay with your lives!
"Lives" this, "sacrifices" that! Will those make your gods happy?!
These ceremonies are flat-out denials
of the triumphs of all the great men before us! I won't stand for it!
This is an insult to all the adventurers and researchers
who've ever set out to sea in the hopes of bringing people happiness!
If your gods value people's lives,
then wouldn't they have contempt for these ceremonies, too?!
Give me time!
I'll banish this so-called curse of yours!
And if I can't, you can do whatever you like!
What nonsense!
You think you're a god or something?!
In return, if I do save this village from tragedy,
swear to me you'll never hold these ceremonies again!
Is that all you have to say?!
Such nonsense! Now you die!
Try it!
Eh?!
What are you saying?!
These people have until tomorrow evening to live.
Perfect!
It's "goodbye, world" come sunset tomorrow!
Have faith in the commodore!
Hey, girlie. I feel bad for you too; you were born in this village...
Yeah! With your looks, you could marry an aristocrat!
Knock it off, guys! Don't you have any tact?!
Who is he?
Oh, you mean the commodore?
He's Montblanc Noland, a renowned explorer. And a botanist.
He visits uncharted islands and finds and researches new plants there.
He's pretty much a hero back home.
But he's too good-natured...
And his biggest flaw is that he can't ignore stuff like this!
We do trust him, though!
Why didn't you let Calgara kill him there?!
The answer will make itself known tomorrow.
He says he can save our village. There is no harm in waiting.
How can you be so carefree?!
You'll listen to him, but not the priest's last words?!
Calgara! Say something!
If I sense the village is in even the slightest danger,
I'll take that man's head without waiting for tomorrow's sun to set.
I do not have the power to hear the gods' voices.
But I do know when a man is speaking earnest words. That is all.
Should you really be up?
I'm all better...
Great Warrior Calgara...
What does "advancement" mean?
Here we are! A Cona tree!
I'd be surprised if there wasn't one in such a big forest!
Earthquake!
It's happening! It's really happening!
It's the Kashi God's curse!
Let us out of here!
This is bad... The forest floor has sunk...
It looks like the island is about to tear apart!
Looking good!
Seems the gods have given a crushing blow to you directly!
In that case, these gods... aren't that great... at all...
They don't even have the strength... to kill a single person...
You're stubborn.
Sorry, but could you get lost? I don't feel like looking at you!
I... must hurry to the village!
Amusing. I think I'll see this through.
Just try and squirm out!
If you're feeling lonely, talk to me
You gaze at the heavens as you wander about
Just like the moon, you keep your gaze constant
And your deep reflection wanes as you slowly disappear
Stay as you are, let those words guide you
Dream, you travelers who spend countless nights drifting
Even if you may not be able to go back
you will surely start moving forward again
How unsightly! Is this the wreck of a man who defied the gods?!
Will your village die by curse, or by disease?!
Are you that afraid of your gods?!
Don't talk like you understand!
However great your gods are, people's lives are even more precious!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Free from the Spell! The Great Warrior Sheds Tears!!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
