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!
After losing his brother Ace during the War of the Best against the Navy,
Luffy is consumed with sorrow.
Meanwhile, there is an untold story of the brothers Luffy and Ace from 10 years ago.
"To The Sea Someday! The Pledge of the Three Brats!"
Here I come!
Gum-Gum...
...Pistol!
Now tell me...
What are you doing?!
One point!
I won't lose a fight!
And I will...
I wanna get stronger!
I'm gonna get stronger and I will...
I win, Sabo!
Dammit!
Damn! It's always a close match between Ace and Sabo!
Sabo! You gotta fight me next!
Shouldn't you run?! I have no mercy!
Gum-Gum...
"Gum" again?
...Shield!
That's just stretching your fingers...
How interesting is this?
N-N-No, stop it!
Like I keep saying,
is there any point in having that power?
Dammit! It's not working! It was so close!
One more time!
No! The rule is only 100 matches per person a day.
Wait until tomorrow.
Luffy lost 50 times to me and Ace.
Me vs. Ace is 24 - 26.
I lost by 2. Dammit!
You guys! When I become 10 years old, I'll beat you two up!
We'll be 13 then. Let's go get something for dinner.
Okay, let's go for crocodiles!
I love crocodile meat!
Luffy, don't get eaten this time.
You were okay the last time because you were swallowed whole.
You wait here, Luffy. You can't swim so you'd slow us dow...
Crocodile meat!
--What?! --I said "wait"!!
The harsh environment of Mt. Corvo made them stronger day by day.
On the north side of this mountain,
there is the place where all uncertain things end up called Gray Terminal.
And on the north side of the Terminal,
there is a city with a solid stone wall that doesn't let anyone enter.
The only entrance to the city is called the Great Gate
through which twice daily passes mountains of junk from all over the country.
--Oh, here they come! --let's go treasure hunting!
Residents of Gray Terminal visit the city sometimes to sell recycled products.
Hey wait! What's in that package?
It's a crocodile-skin. I'm here to sell it.
Crocodile?
G-Go ahead!
Beyond the Great Gate, there is a boulevard where all passersby can be clearly seen
and then there is Edge Town.
Edge Town - where all the thugs and gangsters from the city hang out.
Hey, pops! Leave your package here!
Hey, why don't you say something?!
Shut up, you punk.
What?!
Y-You little...
When you mug somebody,
be careful who you pick!
Th-They are the...
Let's do this!
--Okay! --Okay!
In the middle of the walled city, there is another high stone wall
which encloses High Town where royalty and nobles live.
The name of this country is the Goa Kingdom.
There is no garbage on streets
and it is said to be the most beautiful country in the East Blue.
Windmill Village where Luffy was born...
...is the part of the kingdom even though it's a forgotten backwater.
DOWNTOWN
I'm glad they paid so much for the skin!
We got more for the "pirate savings"!
I'm hungry!
Just a little longer. We'll have great ramen noodles!
What is ramen? Is it really good?
Whatever's fine! I wanna eat soon!
FINE DINING EIICHIRO
This is the restaurant!
Hi, may I help you?
W-W-Wait a minute!
What are you doing?! People like you are not allowed here!
The VIP room will do.
Th-That mark is...!
We're so honored to have a noble like you come to our restaurant!
We'll prepare a room right away!
That thing is pretty handy!
Yeah, I found it on the street a while ago.
Here are 3 ramen noodle bowls! Thank you for waiting!
Enjoy your meal!
This is ramen?!
It looks good!
Well, try it.
Yum-yum!
Yeah, it is good!
I want more!
I need more. 3 more ramen noodles!
Yes, sir! Here they are!
More please!
Y-Yes, sir!
More!
Y-Yes, sir! Right away!
Next!
May I come in?
M-Manager!
Are you sure?!
Sir, we need to talk!
--Damn, they found out! --Let's go!
They didn't pay!
Catch them, somebody!
--The ramen noodles were great! --I told you!
--Catch them?! --They're only kids!
I-It's them again! They're such pests! Why were they let in?!
Don't let them run away! Somebody catch those 3 kids!
I can't believe that they jumped out of the window!
This is the 4th floor!
We lost 26 bowls of ramen noodles and a window!
M-Manager! They left a note!
TREASURE TAB - LUFFY
"Treasure tab"?!
Sabo?
That must be Sabo! Wait!
You're alive!
Let's go home!
Hey, Sabo! He's calling you!
Who is that?
He confused me with someone else. Let's go!
W-Wait!
Sabo...
What?! I'm not hiding anything!
Oh, you aren't?
Yes, you are! Tell us, Sabo!
We can't have secrets among us!
--Tell us! --Tell us!
I said that I'm not hiding...
Tell us, you bastard! Or I'll beat you up!
Alright, I'll tell you!
The son of a noble?!
--Who is it? --Who is it?
I am!
--And? --And?
You two asked me first!
The truth is, both of my parents are alive.
So I'm not an orphan and I didn't grow up in the Gray Terminal.
The man who called to me today was...
...my father.
I was lying to you guys. I'm sorry.
He said "sorry" so we gotta forgive him.
Let's hold off on forgiveness - it all depends on your motive.
Why were you living there if you are from a noble family?
The reason I ran away was...
Listen, Sabo.
You must acquire intelligence and knowledge that you'll need as a noble
and become a man that can marry a woman from the royal family.
Then, we will live in security and I'm sure that you will live happily!
Are you sure that if I could marry a royal woman, I'll live happily?
I'm sure!
Yes, Sabo!
Okay!
I'll do it!
What?!
The cargo ship has sunk?!
I don't give a damn about the crew!
What are you gonna do about the cargo that I paid for? Huh?
Hello?! Hello?!
--Clank. --Damn!
Such a great loss! By thunder!
Dad!
DAD
Look at this! I drew it!
I'm exhausted from work, Sabo.
If you have time to draw this, you ought to be studying instead.
Hey, you!
I'm from the royal family! Which means I'm related to the king!
Carry me by piggyback to my house!
Stop, you rude jerk!
Hey, are you gonna ignore my royal order?!
Let me go!
You're just the son of some noble family!
I'll teach you a lesson!
Don't!
It's unforgivable to harm a child of the royal family!
Sabo! Did you really have a fight with this royal boy?!
Yes, I did!
Because he attacked me with a knife all of a sudden...
I'm sorry! Did you get hurt?!
I'm so sorry!
Let's take him to a doctor to get checked out!
Can we please settle this matter peacefully?!
They love those who can maintain their status and defend their property.
Not me!
If I can't marry a woman from the royal family, I'm worthless!
That's why they made me study and take culture lessons.
And they were arguing everyday because I wasn't doing well.
I had no place to be in that family!
I'm sorry for both of you but I was all by myself even if I had parents!
I heard that you sneak out and go somewhere sometimes.
I don't think you do but do you ever go to the Gray Terminal!
We nobles are privileged to live
in the High Town with the king and his family.
Those residents there and we nobles are living in different worlds!
It's you again.
If you walk around a place like this,
you might get robbed and killed someday!
Let me hear the stories again!
About countries across the sea
that you guys have seen or visited!
--You're a strange kid! --Come and sit down.
Uh-huh!
Nobles have a low opinion of the Gray Terminal
but it's better than the stifling High Town
where your life has been arranged for years to come!
I see.
Ace! Luffy!
We gotta set out to sea someday!
Let's get out of this country and live freely!
I wanna see the world out there and write a book about it!
I'm happy to study if it's about sailing!
Let's become stronger and become pirates someday!
I'm gonna become one - you don't have to tell me to!
I'm gonna become a pirate and defeat others and become infamous!
It'll be the only proof of my life!
It doesn't matter if all the people in the world reject me or despise me,
I'll become a great pirate and show them what I can do!
I won't run from anybody or lose to anyone!
Because I'm feared or hated or whatever,
my name will be known all over!
I got it! Alright then...!
I'm gonna become...!
You fool... I was wondering what you'd have to say...
You're funny, Luffy!
I can't wait to see how you turn out in the future!
We can all become pirates
but isn't it a problem that we all wanna become captain?
I wasn't expecting that.
Sabo, I thought that you'd wanna be navigator on my ship.
You guys can come aboard my ship!
--No thanks! --No thanks!
Huh?! Come on!
Come aboard! I said "come aboard", so you gotta do it!
--That will never happen! --Yeah, never!
What did you say?!
But that's okay.
What's that?!
Man, you're funny, Luffy!
Well, let's just leave it until the time comes.
Maybe we'll set out independently.
Oh, you stole that from Dadan!
Did you guys know?!
We can become brothers if we exchange this cup of sake!
Brothers? Really?!
When we become pirates, we might not be on the same ship
but our brotherhood will always be with us!
Wherever, whatever, we'll always be bonded together!
So from now on,
we're brothers!
Yeah!!
Dreaming of the day when they'll take to the seas as pirates,
Luffy and his friends polish up their bad-boy skills.
Then, when an attack by a certain character threatens their peaceful lives,
the three boys are forced to say goodbye to the Dadan family.
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Leaving the Dadan Family for Good?! The Kids' Hideout Has Been Built!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
