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 the War of the Best against the Navy,
Luffy reached the Maiden Island...
...only to became depressed by his own feelings of weakness.
What is it that you still have?!
"Reunited with Dark King Rayleigh! Decision Time for Luffy!"
CALM BELT
THE BAY AT THE CLIFF COAST OF THE MAIDEN ISLAND
He stopped screaming.
Now that you mention it, I wonder where Straw Hat is.
He's gonna die if his wound opens up, right?
I got one!
What's wrong?
I think I just saw a fish...
Th-That's big!
Look! That's a huge Sea King!
Is it fighting?
It's dead! It got killed!
--But it's huge! --I couldn't see what did it!
It's scary around here.
Huh?!
--A man? --Hey! Who are you?!
Oh boy...
D...
--Dark King Rayleigh!! --What?!
Oh, it's you guys. We met at Sabaody Archipelago.
He was the first mate of Roger, the King of the Pirates!
Well, my ship sank in the storm and I had no choice but to swim.
Storm?! The Calm Belt is always calm - it's never rough!
There shouldn't be a storm!
That means his ship wrecked further away and he swam all the way here?!
I have a good breaststroke.
That's not the point.
Then, that Sea King was fighting with...
...you?!
Only a legendary pirate could do that!
Oh, I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for?!
Oh yeah!
I assume Luffy-kun must be here on this island.
Did you hear
THE CENTER OF THE ISLAND: THE FEMALE-ONLY EMPIRE AMAZON LILY
that Snake Princess-sama and the others...
...have just gone to deliver food to Luffy?
I wanna stretch his body again!
They said they'll invite him over when he gets better.
I can't wait!
I didn't expect to see him again this soon!
Men are interesting!
If I could become a man, my body would be stretchable like his!
I can't wait!
Yeah, maybe I'll make clothes for him again...
...without frills!
We're separated although we're newlyweds!
I feel like a tragic heroine!
"But Hancock... No, my dear wife!"
"Y-Yes!"
"No matter how far away from each other we are, our love is forever!"
"Luffy!"
Oh, my sweet husband! My heart is aflame!
Like I said before, Snake Princess,
just because someone hugs you and uses your name,
it doesn't mean you are married.
Then, what counts as marriage?
Hmmm... That's a difficult question.
You can't go to Sabaody now with that wound.
But I wanna see my friends as soon as possible.
I have to be there just like I promised.
But...
Hmm? The submarine is gone.
Oh, Luffy-kun!
Huh?! The old guy Rayleigh!
I'm glad to see you this soon!
Why are you here?!
I was about to head to Sabaody using the Vivre Card.
Did you see my friends?
No, I don't think they made it there yet.
I gave my Vivre Card to Shakky...
...in order to go anywhere I want.
Dark King Rayleigh! Is it really you? I can't believe it!
You must be the former Warlord...
He's Jimbei, he saved my life.
What's wrong?
Well, I didn't expect to see a living legend here.
Here. Isn't this hat important to you?
It is. Thanks.
It doesn't feel right without it after all!
Have you seen a group of pirates here?
If you're talking about Trafalgar Law, he just left.
He said that you have to rest in bed for 2 more weeks.
He saved your life, didn't he?
What a waste! We got that far...
I wanted to get in the female-only empire.
They were allowing bears in.
Shut up!
I'm sorry.
So weak!
I wonder what the Dark King is up to.
Whatever it is I'm sure that "D." will cause quite a storm once again...
Can't wait to see him again.
Oh, Rayleigh?! You must be Rayleigh!
Oh, Gloriosa! It's been awhile!
--Rayleigh! --Ray-san!
Oh, you two are here too!
Luffy!
Hey, Big Sis! How could you ignore the man who saved your life?
You know the old man Rayleigh?
--Yes! --It's a long story.
Luffy, so you're awake now.
I haven't slept for days worrying about you.
You must be hungry. I brought some food.
So go ahead and dig in...
You can't even look at him.
How could you call it marriage?
Serve him...
Serve him a meal already!
Jimbei! These are not for you!
You can have just a little bit.
O-Okay. Luffy-kun, why don't we just eat?
Luffy-kun, you have to eat. Eating is living!
That's it! That's my Luffy-kun!
Jimbei! I said "just a little bit"!
Thank you for bringing me the letter from Shakky.
Sounds like she hasn't changed.
Yeah, she's just the way she was when you were living in Sabaody.
She's doing fine.
These girls have become very beautiful and strong over the past 13 years.
Rayleigh, Shakky, Granny Nyon.
You three protected us when we were running from the Celestial Dragons.
But we have a problem.
We should be providing shelter for Luffy from the Navy.
Even though Rayleigh knows Luffy from before,
if it's easy enough for someone to guess that Luffy's here,
we should be worrying.
Huh?! What an old familiar face!
You're Rayleigh, aren't you?
You just noticed?! How mad are you about him?!
No, I don't think the Navy can guess that he's here.
First of all, the one who sent him away
told me that he sent him in this direction.
Kuma...
I work for the Revolutionaries army.
Since I have a connection with them.
I wanna let them get away from here.
Oh, I can't believe it.
And where's Monkey-chan now?
I don't know.
I'm sorry about my abrupt manner earlier.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
I don't have...
...much time left.
Straw Hat should be...
In the direction that Bartholomew Kuma blew Luffy-kun away,
there is the Maiden Island.
That's not all.
I found out some interesting information about the War of the Best.
It's with regards to the prison break at Impel Down by Luffy-kun and the others.
When I thought about how Luffy-kun was able to infiltrate the great prison,
it dawned on me that Luffy-kun
must have stowed away on a Navy ship with Hancock, but...
Since Hancock hates both the Government and men,
I don't think that she'd get on a Government ship,
especially not to help a man.
Now, this part is all theoretical.
But how about this?
Say that Hancock fell in love with Monkey-chan,
everything makes sense.
Monkey-chan is a good-looking guy.
And if I were Hancock,
I'd give him refuge on the Maiden Island to spite the Navy.
That's a very subjective theory, Shakky.
Women's intuition is unbelievable.
--That's my Shakky! --She couldn't be any more right, as you can see.
Yeah? You like it? Good!
The Navy won't take action based on a ridiculous theory like that.
So this place is safe.
Now, let's get down to business.
Luffy-kun.
You said you're gonna head for Sabaody, didn't you?
I need to see my friends.
Is that what you really want?
Sabaody Archipelago.
Remember what happened to you guys on that island?
Everyone focus on escaping!
As we are now, we can't beat these guys!
I couldn't save even one of my friends...!
Do you think you can face those tremendous powers as you are now?
But I...
Do you want to be reunited with your friends just to endure the same fate?
I have a suggestion for you.
Of course it's up to you to...
...do it or not.
Meanwhile, on the Bowin Islands in the Grand Line...
GRAND LINE - BOWIN ISLANDS
Stop! Usopp'n!
Don't stop me, Heracles'n!
Usopp is...
...shaking his body which has grown huge
from eating an abundant variety of food in the forest...
...and running.
It's impossible'n!
No, it's not! That's why I'll try again!
I can do it this time!
There you are!
Get out of my way!
Sure Kill...
Oh no'n! Usopp'n!
Are you okay, Usopp'n?
Damn...
You can't do that. If you try to get off of this island,
terrifying living things will stand in your way
and push you back to the forest'n.
Nothing will stop you from entering the island'n
but once you've set foot on it, you're dead!
No one ever leaves this island alive'n!
And my name is Heracles'n!
Oh?! Usopp'n! Where did you go?!
Oh, he's in danger'n!
The sea creature has just come onto the island!
Usopp'n is in danger!
The sweet scent from Bowin Islands draws the attention of...
...giant insects and giant birds...
...and even sea creatures and Sea Kings.
It's a sea hippo!
I shouldn't get fascinated by it now!
The scents lure them deeper into the island...
...where they find the forest filled with food.
It's easy to enter the island...
But it's hard to leave...
Outta my way! Sure Kill - Exploding Star!
I'm gonna get out of here!
Don't get in my way!
I have to go back!
To Sabaody!
Exploding Star!
Usopp'n!
The islands are gonna move again!
What?
Usopp'n! Hang onto a tree!
It's happening again?!
It's gonna eat something!
The name of this flower that looks like an island is...
People call them the Bowin Islands
but the scientific name is Stomach Baron: a meat-eating plant!
Usopp'n!
What's the matter with you, Usopp'n?
You changed since reading the newspaper that News Coo brought!
I...
...have no time to waste here now!
Luffy lost his brother in the war!
He must be having a very hard time now!
When your friend is having a hard time,
you should be there for him!
Luffy!!
Luffy's friends take action, concerned for him,
but Nami is held captive by the researchers of Weatheria.
Meanwhile, on Winter Island, Franky heads to a certain place in search of an ice-breaker.
What extremely dangerous button has he found there?!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Back to Our Captain!
A Jail Break at the Sky Island and the Incident on the Winter Island!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
