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!
10 years ago in the East Blue,
there were 3 boys who dreamed of becoming pirates.
First, Sabo set sail and then Ace went out to sea 7 years later.
See you, Luffy! I'm going now!
And 3 years later,
Luffy departed from his hometown - Windmill Village.
Sabo was first and Ace was second.
And I'm third but I'm gonna top them!
Wait for me, Ace!
I'll catch up with you soon!
And now, Luffy is...
The King of the Pirates?!
I'm...
I'm too...
...weak!!
"I Want to See Them! Luffy's Mournful Cry!"
Let's go along the Grand Line!
We're gonna take over the world!
Let's start with that island!
Give me cannonballs!
Meteor Fist Shower!
Here, here, here, here!
You've had enough for today.
--It's Garp-san! --Garp-san is back with his ship!
On business?!
"EAST BLUE" GOA KINGDOM--WINDMILL VILLAGE
Garp-san, I've read about the war in the newspaper!
It said it was a great victory for the Navy!
--Hey, how is everybody here doing? --What happened to Luffy?
What's gonna happen to the world after Whitebeard's death, Garp-san?
I've seen pirate ships offshore frequently over the past few days.
We can't even sleep in peace at night because we fear their invasion.
Don't worry! I just sank three of them out at sea!
Really?! That's great!
They were all amateurs who don't even know how to fight.
But for a while,
the seas will be uneasy all over the world because Whitebeard was a deterrent.
This is a remote village in the East Blue but you have to be careful.
--Hey! --Yes, sir!
SECURITY BY NAVY VICE ADMIRAL GARP
"Security by Navy Vice Admiral Garp"? Oh, I feel safe!
We don't have to be afraid of anything!
Garp-san, we have another problem.
Mountain bandits came down to the village
and they're taking over Makino's bar.
Mountain bandits?
No! You can't do that!
Hey, Garp!
Oh, that's her!
How dare you come back and show your face here?!
Garp-san!
B-Boss!
Vice Admiral Garp!
Stay out of it! I know her.
You bastard...
You were there at the battlefield...
You were there with them! What did you do to help?!
Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?!
Why did you stand by and watch Ace die?!
You chose your job over your family?!
Hey, Garp! You're the hero of the Navy?!
Go to hell, you old bastard!
--Easy, easy, boss, stop it! --Boss!
Garp, say something!
Why didn't you help him?! Why didn't you do something?!
Get on your feet!
You cold-blooded scum!
Stop it, Dadan-san!
Makino...
Can't you see that he's taking it harder than anybody else
because he couldn't help them even though he was there?!
Th-That's not true.
That's not true.
That's not true!
Luffy's having a harder time than anyone!
Okay, let's start today's lesson of how to express gratitude.
Yeah, let's get started already!
Oh, you got it, Ace!
No, that's not right.
You have to say "Thank you in advance" on that occasion.
Oh, that wasn't right? It sounded cool though.
Ace-kun wants to learn this
because he wants to say "thank you" properly...
...to the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates who helped Luffy.
To Shanks?!
Yeah, I will be a pirate by the time I see Red-Haired.
As a pirate and as your old brother, it's my job to thank him.
Now, let's do it pretending that he's right in front of you.
I'm Ace. Who the hell are you?
Booh! That's not right. It's not nice to say "the hell."
Is it "Who the heck are you"?
Give me your name.
Booh.
You have to say "you fool"!
Who are you, you bastard?
Booh!
Who is this?
Booh!
"Whom" is this?
Booh!
Stop it! Are you serious?
You're bugging me by saying stupid things! Go away!
Listen, Ace, I found an anaconda's nest filled with big eggs!
Let's go get some now!
What? Big eggs?!
No, I can't!
I wanna learn how to pay respect!
I could get hurt if no one's there and the anaconda finds me!
But I'll be safe if you come with me! So...
Shut up!
He loved his brother so much!
Makino!
Garp.
What happened to Luffy?
It said in the newspaper that he went missing.
Mayor.
He got away by submarine.
The Navy went after him in full force and searched for him desperately
but they didn't find any shipwreck.
So he's probably alive!
Oh, that's great!
But how does Navy Vice Admiral Garp-san know the mountain bandit?
Don't know.
Luffy is so stupid.
But I'll take his side no matter what kind of pirate he becomes.
It breaks my heart when I think about how he must feel now.
Luffy!!
Don't be defeated!!
Meanwhile, far away in the second half of the Grand Line -
the New World...
Red-Haired,
I've no words to express my gratitude.
Stop talking nonsense.
I always respected Whitebeard, even though he was my enemy.
Even Sengoku respected him.
Whitebeard, Ace...
Let us handle the burial of those two.
I agree! I will take the blame on myself!
Alright, we should go now.
Yes. Thanks.
Luffy must be having a hard time.
I can't believe what Ace did.
Take back what you just said!
Don't make fun of the man who saved me!
The name of this era should be "Whitebeard"!
That's what Captain Roger would've done.
I wanted the captain to run away sometimes
and be able to shed tears.
Listen, Luffy.
By experiencing both victory and defeat,
running away and shedding tears,
a man will become a man.
It's okay to cry.
But you have to move on!
"CALM BELT" MAIDEN ISLAND
Damn!
I'm too weak! I can't save anybody!
Damn! Damn!
Dammit!!
Luffy-kun.
Go away!
Leave me alone!
I can't!
I can't just watch you hurt yourself anymore.
It's my own body! It's none of your business!
Then you can't blame Ace for doing what he did.
His death was not your business!
Shut up, you bastard! I'm gonna beat you if you say another word!
Do it if it makes you happy!
I'm injured too but I'm not gonna get beaten by you in that condition!
Gum-Gum...
...Pistol!
Jimbei...
When I was going after Teach,
I saw my brother for the first time in 3 years in Alabasta Kingdom.
And I felt relieved instantly as I saw him.
Do you know why?
Ouch! Ow, ow, ow!
That hurts, you brat!
Can't you see things clearly now?!
You believed that you could overcome anything!
And you've never doubted your strength!
But all those formidable enemies took away your confidence!
And your brother was your guide on the sea!
I know that you have lost a lot!
And the toughest enemies in the world
blocked your way time after time!
Your power is not enough to beat me!
You could be level-headed.
Go, Pacifistas!
You can't get away from me!
You'll never find your way like this!
Because you've lost yourself in regret and guilt!
I know that it's painful now, Luffy,
but you have to bottle up those feelings!
Don't just think about the ones you've lost!
You can't get back what you've lost!
What is it that you still have?!
Luffy, don't fool around here. I'm training now.
Luffy! Tell everybody to take their post!
A storm is coming!
Luffy, you just see if I don't!
I'm gonna catch a big one soon!
Luffy, it's almost ready so just shut up and wait.
Luffy, no matter how serious your injury is, you're in good hands!
I'll treat you!
Oh, Luffy!
I can teach you about archeology if you're interested.
Hey, Luffy! The Cola engine is in top shape as always!
You can leave everything about the Sunny to me!
Good morning, Luffy-san! It's morning!
Now here is the first song for today!
Luffy.
Luffy!
Luffy.
Luffy!
Luffy.
Luffy!
Luffy-san!
Luffy!
I still have...
I still have my friends!
Zoro! Nami! Usopp! Sanji!
Chopper! Robin! Franky! Brook!
They are my friends!
I see.
I have to meet them on the ship.
Guys! Meet on the Sunny in three days!
Okay!
I gotta go! It took a while but...
...I know that they're waiting for me!
What I saw there, Jimbei, was...
Older brothers can't help worrying...
...if their younger brother is weak.
I know that he'll be a handful
but please look after him.
Luffy wasn't just the kid who used to follow me around anymore.
He had...
...such reliable friends!
He'll be alright no matter what happens.
That's why I felt relieved.
I wanna see them now...
I wanna see them!!
Luffy is missing his friends...
At the same time, far across the sea,
the friends he'd been separated from
are still fighting their own battles to make it back to the Sabaody Archipelago.
Meanwhile, news of the "War of the Best" makes its way to the separated friends!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Straw Hats in Shock! The Bad News Has Reached Them!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
