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

That's why I'll keep walking ahead

So let's go

Without stopping

Without giving up to the flow of time

I'll keep getting back up

Because I don't want to lose something precious

The voice inside of me

keeps sustaining me

Wicked rain will get in my way

But I won't walk away

So let's go
Tachidomaru koto naku
Without stopping

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!
Luffy lost his brother Ace in the War of the Best against the Navy.
After getting back on his feet with Jimbei's help,
Luffy met Dark King Rayleigh.
What are you gonna do, Luffy-kun?
I'm gonna go back.
To Marineford!
And the rest of the Straw Hats learned the news.
Why?! What's going on?! What made Luffy do this...?!
Luffy! I'm glad he's okay!
It's in today's newspaper?
Luffy!
"Unexpected Relanding! Luffy, to Marineford!"
At Marineford - Navy Headquarters in the Grand Line...
CONFERENCE ROOM
It's incomprehensible!
Events in the War of the Best
revealed he's the stepbrother of the late Portgas D. Ace
and the son of the Revolutionary Dragon
and also, the grandson of Navy Vice Admiral Garp!
The pirate - Monkey D. Luffy!
He went missing after the war, but he was alive as expected
and resurfaced here, at the Navy HQ, again!
A FEW DAYS AGO...
A few days ago...
How terrible!
It was an all-out war
between the Navy's elite and the world's greatest pirate.
It's lucky that the island didn't sink.
Where did you come from?
I'm from Alabasta, to do a story on Crocodile and Straw Hat.
Straw Hat could be dead already though.
I'm sure that the Navy wants to look for the pirates involved in the war
but they don't have time for that now.
Yeah.
The One Piece is real!!
Pirates inspired by Whitebeard's dying words
are committing crimes all over the world.
All the Navy soldiers who can fight are dealing with them everywhere.
I feel sorry for them.
Speak of the devil, here come the soldiers.
What's wrong with that ship? It's not coming into the bay!
They're acting strange.
Firing a blank?!
What's going on?!
--Have they contacted us?! --No, sir!
No way! Why did he come back...?!
What's the matter?!
It's Straw Hat Luffy!
What?!
--Did he steal a Navy ship?! --Why now?
He never learns... Sink the ship!
Fish-Man Jiu-Jitsu!
Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!
Is that the traitor - "First Son of the Sea" Jimbei?!
There is someone else!
Don't tell me that that's the legendary...
...first mate of the Roger Pirates - Dark King Rayleigh!
Why don't they come ashore?
They went around the island once...
It's like a funeral at sea!
Funeral? Because our main forces aren't here now?!
Damn pirates! Barrage them from all directions!
Go ahead and let loose on them!
Yeah!
Catch Straw Hat!
I'll fight you guys!
I want you guys to play with me as well!
Gum-Gum...
...Whip!
What is he up to?! He's heading west!
Does he want to bring the HQ down?!
What is he gonna do with the Ox Bell?
Flowers?
This is gonna be a great picture!
Chase him! Don't let him get away!
Now he's leaving...
What was that all about?
Dark King Rayleigh and the Warlord - Jimbei...
Are they taking his side?!
Rayleigh was a crew member of the King of the Pirates.
Does that mean Straw Hat is Roger's successor?!
N-No way! He's Dragon's son! That can't be true...
In any case, this is...
...big news!
This article has spread all over the world already!
It even covers the fact that we let Straw Hat get away!
How humiliating!
If you look at it simply, what Straw Hat did was pay a tribute...
...to his brother and Whitebeard and all other people who died in the war.
No doubt about the moment of silence and going around the island
but the bell should only have been rung twice not 16 times!
So the 16 bells could be a challenge to us!
Honestly! How controversial he is.
Straw Hat Luffy...
But it's not so surprising considering he's Garp's grandson.
I wonder how he knows Rayleigh.
I don't think Rayleigh wants to come back to center stage.
Jimbei finally turned against us.
He being a Warlord was a symbol of intertribal peace.
What a shame!
The Three Great Powers are off-balance now.
How should we fill the 3 vacancies among The Seven Warlords?
We need to see what will unfold in the New World.
There'll be some changes in power relationships among pirates.
We have to pick the most powerful ones.
Blackbeard made his move already in the New World
and took out one of the rookies with a bounty of over 100 million.
He knows all there is to know about Whitebeard's territory.
He has a lead over the pirates who want to become one of The Four Emperors.
No one has ever eaten 2 Devil Fruits in history except for him.
The people who might be able to stop him are The Four Emperors...
...or Marco the Phoenix and the remnants of the Whitebeards.
It's always the "D."s who make trouble including "Portgas."
Those names are exposed to the public a little bit too much these days.
I tried to talk him out of it but Garp virtually resigned.
RED LINE THE HOLYLAND OF MARIE JOIS
But he has to keep his title and stay in the Navy.
Educating young Navy soldiers.
If you want to resign from your position as fleet admiral,
could you at least do that?
Sengoku.
Yes, sir.
I accept that offer. It's not a bad way to spend my retired life.
The two of you who have led the Navy at the front since Roger's era
are stepping down.
That's going to make quite a splash.
Including the escaped prisoners from level 6 at Impel Down,
there are a lot of infamous pirates still on the loose.
And Newgate was at the top of the list.
The Pirate Era is changing now
and old soldiers shouldn't cling to power in the Navy.
Justice is based on values. And those change every generation.
That's not what I want to hear.
By the way, Kong-san,
I want to recommend Aokiji for next fleet admiral.
NAVY HEADQUARTERS--MEDICAL CARE FACILITY
They call the power Haki.
It's safe to say that's what you got.
I guess it was awakened by the trauma of the war.
Normally, you can only obtain it through long-term training.
Haki...? That's what it is?
The vice admirals are all using it.
Really?!
I feel other people's presence too strongly...
It's uncomfortable...
You two are apprentices to Garp, aren't you?
Ask him about it.
Hey, doctor! Do you think I will get the power, too?
How do I know?
Dammit! It's like you're ahead of me now!
I don't know what's going on...
But what is this feeling?
It's like I'm a different person from before!
Maybe... If I try hard, I can get stronger!
Much stronger than I am now... As strong as him!
I'm sorry! I couldn't hold the fort!
Don't mind it!
He was alive, huh? Amazingly!
Did you hear about it? Straw Hat caused trouble again.
Yes.
The War of the Best ended not so long ago and the 16 bells now?
Is this some kind of message?
I don't know.
That aside, what about my transfer?
Well, I'll talk to Sengoku-san about it but are you serious?
No one would say such a thing as a joke.
I know. G5 is not a place that you go voluntarily.
That place has a bunch of problems.
Navy - Grand Line 5th branch.
That means you wanna go to the New World.
It's better to be closer to your target.
The news about Straw Hat Luffy is spreading all over the world.
NEW WORLD
Even in the New World...
"Straw Hat Luffy was alive!"
EUSTASS "CAPTAIN" KID
"Rang the 16 bells for a new era in Marineford."
What's the Ox Bell?
The Ox Bell is...
...the holy bell from the Ox Lloyd's,
KID PIRATES--KILLER
a Navy ship that was quite influential a long time ago.
At the year's end, they ring it 8 times to appreciate the passing year
and 8 times at the beginning of the year as a prayer for the new year.
So they ring it 16 times in total - that's the Navy's custom.
That's the meaning of the 16 bells.
But it's not the season yet.
So maybe he did it to announce the end and the beginning of the era.
He wants to say,
"Whitebeard's era is over. I'll shape the new era"?
If it's not for those purposes, he wouldn't go back to the place...
...where he has to relive the pain of losing his brother.
What an annoying bastard!
In fact, after the war,
he took the lead among the rookies with a bounty of over 100 million.
But I won't let him do whatever he wants.
The New World...
I thought I could have a lot of fun here but what's with these cowards?
Come on! I didn't cause any harm to you!
We were about to get out of this sea! Let us go back to paradise alive!
Paradise? You mean, a loving home?
You just got here so you have no idea how horrible this sea is!
Straw Hat?
Yes, he caused trouble again.
CAPONE "GANG" BEGE
No need to be panic.
The one who has the final checkmate...
...will become the winner.
What happened?!
Father! The ship is not touching the water - it's in the air!
What?!
What did you say? What do you mean? Control the ship, dammit!
Father! Something's coming down from the sky...
No, we are going up!
NEW WORLD FOODVALTEN ISLAND
I'm so sorry.
BASIL HAWKINS
Could you say it again? I couldn't catch it.
I'm Brownbeard!
A pirate with a bounty of over 80 million!
Brownbeard-sama!
Make sure you remember my name! This is my territory!
What you did to my men is horrible!
I'll make you pay for it in blood!
I see. I thought I misheard it because it's such a stupid name.
I'll tell you two things. First, I don't like jokes.
Jokes?
And here is another thing,
I can see the shadow of death on your face.
Are you sure that the Log Pose is pointing at that island?!
Lightning is striking the island like rain!
UROUGE
We can't go there!
How can we get to the shore?!
Bold men who set foot in the New World even once...
High Priest, somebody is approaching!
Who is it?
...all call the first half of the Grand Line the same thing -
Say, young man...
Who is this grandma?
"That sea was like a paradise."
Do you want an umbrella?
If we stay here, we'll be dead soon!
We just wanna go back to paradise! Please!
You're such a wet blanket.
If you're not prepared to die...
...then stay out of...
...this sea!
I'll take you down soon! You better be ready for it!
Straw Hat!
Reports on the new incident involving Luffy at Marineford
spread throughout the world in the blink of an eye.
The people are bewildered by his mysterious actions,
as are his friends.
But Luffy has a reason for his behavior.
What exactly is Luffy thinking?!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"With Hopes It Will Reach My Friends! Big News Spreading Fast!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
