ame agari no sora wo aogu tabi
Every time I look up to the sky after the rain
nakimushi datta koro no boku wo omou
I think back to when I was a crybaby
dareka no senaka wo gamushara ni oikaketa
I was chasing somebody's back blindly
"tsuyoku naritai" tte
Thinking "I want to be stronger"
ima wa kaze ni kieta "arigatou"
The word "thank you" has faded into the wind now
boku wa tsuyoku nareteiru no kana?
Am I getting stronger?
kotae wa mada desou ni nai kara sa
I don't know the answer yet
yappari mada aruiteiku yo
That's why I'll keep walking ahead
saa yukou
So let's go
tachidomaru koto naku
Without stopping
nagareru toki ni makenai youni
Without giving up to the flow of time
nando mo tachimukai tsuzukeyou
I'll keep getting back up
taisetsu na mono ushinaitakunai kara
Because I don't want to lose something precious
boku no naka ni nagareru koe wa
The voice inside of me
zutto zutto boku wo sasaeteru
keeps sustaining me
itazura na ame ga jama suru kedo
Wicked rain will get in my way
nigedasanai kara
But I won't walk away
saa yukou
So let's go
Tachidomaru koto naku
Without stopping
nagareru toki ni makenai youni
Without giving up to the flow of time
nando mo tachimukai tsuzukeyou
I'll keep getting back up
taisetsu na mono ushinaitakunai kara
Because I don't want to lose something precious
shinjita sono saki e to...
To the future I believe in...
The time is the Great Pirate Era.
Countless pirates fight desperately for the One Piece,
the great treasure left behind by Gold Roger, King of the Pirates.
Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned to rubber after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,
also takes to the sea to become the next King of the Pirates.
As Luffy and his friends overcome numerous adventures,
the World Government is less and less able to ignore their existence.
This is exciting!
What kind of adventure is waiting for us next?!
The crew, on its way to the New World,
will speed along the Grand Line again today!
Separated from the rest of the Straw Hats,
Luffy made it to Marineford to rescue his brother, Ace who will be executed!
He and the Whitebeards have invaded to the plaza to make it to the scaffold!
In the midst of the Navy's onslaught, with the Whitebeards' assistance,
Luffy ran on the path that Inazuma created and finally made it to Ace!
I'm a remnant from the old times!
There is no ship that can bear me in the new era!
Let's get it over with!
"The Power That Can Burn Even Fire! Akainu's Ruthless Pursuit!"
--Marineford is in danger! --Stop Whitebeard!
ABSOLUTE JUSTICE
He's willing to destroy the whole island!
Pops!
I don't wanna leave you! You gotta come with us!
Pops!
Do you disobey your Captain's order?!
Why don't you just go, fools?!
Pops!
Now is our chance! Kill Whitebeard! He's dying already!
Pops!
Hurry up! Let's do as Pops said!
You don't mind leaving Pops behind?!
Yeah, how dare you!
Stupid! No one wants to leave him alone!
Then...
Grumbling about it at a time
like this is the same as trampling on Pops' determination!
Can't you understand?!
Pops!
Hurry and get ready to sail out!
Ace!
We're gonna leave soon! Come on now!
Commander Marco, let's go!
Pops...
--You messed with us! --Die!
W-Wait! All I want is to get away!
I have no intention to fight...
W-What?!
My wax is as strong as steel!
There's no way that a normal sword can cut it!
He's also a Devil Fruit eater!
No wonder!
He's strong enough to try to protect
"Fire Fist" even at Fleet Admiral Sengoku's elbow!
No no, don't overestimate me like that! I'm not a big deal...
Oh no!
Damn Whitebeard!
I can't believe he still has that much power after getting wounded so badly!
Since he isn't concerned about "Fire Fist" Ace anymore...
Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
It's clear his intention is to sink Marineford into the ocean.
Along with himself!
Vice Admiral Garp! You're alive!
He wants to change the era? Yeah, the time is right.
What happened to Whitebeard?!
His allies who have been sold out are all dead now?!
Is the connection still out?!
How long should we wait?!
Damn! We couldn't see the whole picture
because Buggy the Clown stood in our way!
The guy over there must be...!
The great pirate--Captain Buggy the Clown?!
Yes, that's who I am indeed!
What did he want to say?!
If nothing is done, I can't report anything to the head office!
What's going on at Marineford now?!
What?!
The Transponder Snail hasn't come out yet?!
Damn! Captain Buggy is about to beat Whitebeard - it's no time for this!
Don't say it as if it's so easy!
He's dying but he still has boundless power - didn't they see it?!
Why did I even say that I'm gonna beat that man?! I really screwed this up!
I can't do it! It's impossible!
What?! We gotta broadcast Captain Buggy's big moment all over the world!
Get it out at any cost!
--Come out now! --Or we're gonna burn you out of it!
No, we gotta soak it into water!
--Let's do that! --Come on!
--Stop it, fools! --Huh?
It's not like he volunteered to be a slave for the Navy.
But he got beaten up in the battlefield like this.
Don't you feel sorry for him?
Just let him go, okay?
Then we gotta cancel "Captain Buggy's beating beard
and broadcast it live to the world" plan?!
No way! Even you want to pull out from Marineford?!
I'm disappointed in you, Captain Buggy!
Oh no!
When it comes down to it,
they're all strong guys who've been locked up in Impel Down!
I better not make enemies of them!
The Transponder Snail came out voluntarily!
Oh, he's...
...crying!
Oh yeah! He came out because he was touched by Captain Buggy's kindness!
Captain Buggy can even win the hearts of the Snails!
He's amazing as we thought!
That is the man who will conquer the world - he's our Captain Buggy!
D-Damn bastard! Why didn't he just stay inside?!
Now there's no way that I can back out!
Alright, let's begin!
Captain Buggy, make a declaration to conquer the world now!
--It's your moment! --Smoke: good, lighting: good!
Stand by!
Oh no, I mean... Dammit! This leaves me one choice!
Alright, shoot my bravery!
Capture the moment that I kill Whitebeard!
--Hey, look! --The picture's back!
But I can't see what's going on because of the smoke!
Is the Navy losing?! What happened to Whitebeard and Ace?!
--Um, well... --Transponder Snail, go lower!
Hi, everyone! I'm Buggy and I'm a legend!
You again?!
Get to the sea now!
We who remain have to go back to the New World safely!
Don't let them get away! Kill as many as you can!
I'm the only one that you ought to worry about!
Commander Jozu!
Looks like he's badly injured but he'll make it!
Captain gave us an order! Come with us!
Brenheim! You gotta carry Jozu!
Straw boy! Why are you standing around?!
Ace, let's go! The old man has made up his mind...
I know! And it won't be in vain!
Back off, you bastards!
We don't need words now.
Just tell me one thing.
Are you happy to have me as your father?
Still some fight left in you?
You are too valuable to let die now, boy.
If you still wanna run wild, run as wild as you want on the sea under my name.
Become my son!
Of course I am!
Wh-What was that?!
--The scaffold was destroyed! --So was the Navy HQ!
Did Ace get executed?! What's going on?!
Move the camera to Whitebeard!
I'm Buggy and I'm a legend!
The great pirate--Captain Buggy the Clown!
Is it true that you're gonna beat Whitebeard?!
And with his head in your hand,
you're willing to become one of The Four Emperors?!
I'm Buggy and I'm a legend!
You're just repeating that!
Say something forward-looking! Let's do it again!
Enough with Buggy! Show us Marineford as it stands!
Oh yeah!
You're not what we're interested in!
No, I mean... I just wanna do something flashy...
What are you doing?!
Run! Run to the ship!
--Ace-san, Luffy-kun, get in front of me! --Jimbei!
They want to get you two!
But what the good old man wants is as many survivors as possible!
Good old man!
We've stolen a Navy ship! Get on board quick!
Do they really think that they can get away?! How simple they are!
Admiral Sakazuki!
You guys, move aside a little bit!
You two, just keep going until you get to the ship!
As soon as you rescue "Fire Fist" Ace, you run!
The Whitebeards must be a group of cowards!
What?!
He's trying to stir you up obviously!
If you stop, you're playing into his hands!
Well your captain is that guy so you can't help it, can you?
Because after all, Whitebeard is just a...
...loser from the old times!
Ace!
A loser?
Take back what you just said!
Hey, don't, Ace! Don't stop!
Just let him say whatever he wants!
He mocked Pops!
Ace!
Did you say "take it back?"
Not in a million years! I'll tell you why.
Your father Gold Roger conquered the Grand Line
and opened the door to the new era called
the Great Pirate Era by sacrificing himself.
As a Navy admiral, it's not my place to say so,
but he was true to his name: the King of the Pirates!
In contrast, what has Whitebeard done?
I wonder if he really had the intention to fight .
I assume that he established a large family someplace
and was satisfied being a big fish in a little barrel.
There are some fools in the world
who'd say that his name is keeping peace on various islands
but if you ask me, he's just keeping lightweights in fear of him
and he thinks that he's a hero which makes me laugh!
When Roger was alive, Whitebeard had second billing
and even after Roger's death, he couldn't become a King.
That means he'll never better Roger and he'll be a loser forever!
That's who Whitebeard is and that's the truth.
He's a poor man when you think about it.
He gathered some punks who call him Pops
and roamed around the sea with his fake family.
Stop it.
And although he reigned the sea for years,
he couldn't become a King and gained nothing
and at the end, he was stabbed by a fool,
one of his sons who fell for my line
and he will die to protect that son.
Don't you think that his life is so empty?
Stop it!
Don't do it, Ace, come back!
Ace!
Pops gave us a place to live!
You can't understand his greatness!
People don't deserve to live if they can't live justly!
Punks like you guys don't deserve a place to live!
Stop it!
Whitebeard will die as a loser! It's fitting for a big fish in a little barrel!
Whitebeard is a great pirate who shaped this era!
Don't make fun of the man who saved me!
Don't do it, Ace!
The name of this era should be "Whitebeard!"
Both Whitebeard and you guys who call him Pops
are the same after all--losers!
Ace has been burned!
Are you careless because you ate a Logia type fruit which
is the most powerful of all?
You're just fire but my magma can even burn fire!
My power is far stronger than yours.
Ace!
Hey, Luffy-kun, you should not fight anymore!
Ace's Vivre Card!
Gold Roger the King of the Pirates, Dragon--the revolutionary.
I was amazed to hear that sons of those two are step brothers.
You two have bad blood in your veins.
I don't care if the others get away as long as I get you two!
Watch what I do.
Wait!
Luffy!
This is certainly a Vivre Card.
But I haven't told you that this card
also tells you how much vital energy the owner has.
This card belongs to someone who you care for, right?
Yeah, it's my brother's!
Hold onto it, always.
That paper will lead us to one another.
Ace is pierced by Akainu's fist while protecting Luffy.
Jimbei and the Whitebeard Pirates try to save him,
but Ace, realizing he is about to die,
finds the voice to convey his feelings to his friends one last time.
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Looking for the Answer! Fire Fist Ace Dies on the Battlefield!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
