[NARRATOR] Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,
attained every treasure that the world had to offer.
Smiling, even as he stood upon the scaffold,
he issued a challenge to the world.
[GOLD ROGER] You want my treasure?
You can have it!
I left everything I gathered together in one place.
Now you just have to find it!
[NARRATOR] Now, those who dare to dream hoist their flags
and sail into the Great Pirate Era!
[NARRATOR] All pirates searching for the treasure One Piece
must brave the second half of the Grand Line.
These wild and dangerous seas are known
as the New World.
Gold Roger and his crew were the only men
to ever chart these waters and learn
all the secrets they held.
For the rest of the pirates in the world,
this has proven to be the end of the road.
A graveyard of dreams.
Now, Monkey D. Luffy,
a boy whose body became rubber after eating
the Gum-Gum Fruit, sets sail into the New World
with his faithful crew.
I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!
[NARRATOR] After a fierce battle, the Straw Hat Pirates
depart for the deadly waters of the New World,
ruled by the Four Emperors.
Receiving a distress call, the crew lands
on Punk Hazard, an island split into two
extremely different climates.
G-5, led by Vice Admiral Smoker,
arrives at the island in pursuit of the Straw Hats.
But they soon meet Trafalgar Law.
Whatcha doin' here?
You remember me, don't you?
You helped me out that one time.
[TASHIGI gasps]
Shambles!
Are they both dead?
I'm guessing that Law isn't the mastermind here.
Someone else is.
Someone with the initials C.C., and I think I know who.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] I believe the person behind this
is a former colleague of Dr. Vegapunk.
A scientist named Caesar Clown.
[LUFFY] "The Worst in the World!
A Scientist of Terror - Caesar!"
[MARINE A] Caesar Clown?
Never heard of the guy. Who is he, Smokey?
Huh?
[TASHIGI (SMOKER)] I think I have some information
that might help.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] Huh?
I noticed something unusual a while back.
Suspicious... reports from this area.
A lot of reports, all of them concerning
child abduction.
You mean like a kidnapping ring?
Yes.
I don't know if I can handle this, Cap'n!
It's like you're not you anymore!
You've got to suck it up, Marine.
We're stuck like this for now.
All right, Tashigi! Get back on track.
These reports you're talking about.
Why haven't I heard of them before?
Please button up! I can't even look at myself!
There's something wrong about seeing her like this.
I know I shouldn't like it, but god help me, I do!
That's enough!
[GROUP gasps]
I have noticed that accidents at sea happen
fairly frequently in this area.
And it does seem that an unusual number
involve children.
Oh! Yeah, that's true, right?
Yeah!
The thing is,
per the communication department...
Oh, right, no glasses.
Well, from what I've heard,
we get a whole lot of abduction reports.
But somehow they always end up labeled
in the newspaper as accidents at sea,
the work of pirates, or simply a lost child.
And I guess it's possible the incidents
are reported incorrectly.
Possible, but unfortunately,
to me it seems far more likely that, well...
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] Are you going to finish your sentence,
Tashigi?
Come on, saying it out loud won't change anything.
We all know we saw a bunch of kids
on the island earlier.
What you're too afraid to say is you think
there really have been a series of kidnappings.
And you believe the perpetrator is here
on Punk Hazard.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] But if your suspicions about that
are correct...
Those news articles weren't simple mistakes.
The reporters were deliberately misled
because someone in G-5 wanted those abduction reports
covered up.
[MARINE O] Huh?
[MARINE D] Huh?
Hold on.
Is Smokey saying that somebody in our ranks
is working with the kidnapper?
No! What?!
What the hell, Smokey?
How can you insult your crew like that?
Sure, we're not the smartest or strongest Marines
there are, but that doesn't change the fact
that we take pride in being part of the Navy!
No way!
None of us are part of any kidnapping ring!
[yelling]
Quit your bitching!
[MARINES gasp] Don't hurt us!
You fools couldn't steal candy from a baby.
You're not even worth suspecting.
[MARINES] What?!
But don't let loyalty blind you.
Not even the Navy is immune to corruption.
At the end of the day,
the Navy is just a group of people,
and people aren't perfect.
Making assumptions is dangerous.
Don't be fooled by appearances.
[gasps]
[MARINES] Understood, Captain!
[SMOKER (TASHIGI) sighs] Never mind. Morons.
[TASHIGI (SMOKER)] Um, guys, I'm the captain.
Right! Sorry!
We're still getting used to this!
I could still be wrong.
I don't have any proof.
It's a theory, that's all.
That doesn't matter.
Theory or not, it's something we need
to keep in mind.
Unfortunately, as it stands,
my heart and both our bodies are at Law's mercy.
We're both stuck here till we settle that.
But I want a third of you to leave by ship
and report what we've found so far.
Just one problem with that, Vice Admiral.
If you remember, our warship was destroyed.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] I told you I saw a ship, didn't I?
Steal it.
Oh, yeah! I hadn't thought of that!
Stealing's bad, though!
Just do it, all right?
And be careful nobody catches you.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna find a way to get
my heart and body back,
and hunt down the twisted bastard
who's behind all this.
[CAESAR CLOWN] I was finally able to get through to him.
Click.
[CAESAR CLOWN] We have permission to kill them all.
The Straw Hat pirates.
The G-5 crew.
Foxfire Kin'emon, as well.
No matter who dies on this island,
Joker will ensure the losses are officially listed
as accidents at sea.
Catch as many of them as possible.
The more guinea pigs, the merrier.
[SUBORDINATE A] Yes, Master.
[CAESAR CLOWN] I prefer them alive,
but you may kill any that can't be taken with poison.
Where did Law go?
[SUBORDINATE A] He left the room a few minutes ago.
Well, be careful.
These pirates have large bounties.
One is 400 million.
[MONET] The others range from 50 berries
to 120 million.
All are wanted, and their total bounties
are 800 million and 50 berries.
They're notorious, despite the fact
they've been inactive for the past two years.
Their bounties haven't increased in that time.
They could be more powerful than the numbers show.
[CAESAR CLOWN] You're ever the font of information, Monet.
Help, Master!
[CAESAR CLOWN] Huh?
You look half-frozen.
Have you been wandering around outside
without a coat?
We were robbed by pirates, Master.
What's worse is that the scheming lowlifes
took Boss Brownbeard with them.
Please, Master! We have to help him!
Really? How absolutely terrible.
Don't worry about Brownbeard.
I promise you we will retrieve him.
Now, go on back to the room.
As it happens, you're in luck.
We've just finished a new medicine.
Exactly what you need.
It will both warm and heal you.
[CENTAUR A] Really? That's so kind!
Will you help the others, too?
[CAESAR CLOWN] Shurorororo! Certainly.
But first let's get you treated.
[CENTAUR A] You do so much for us, Master!
I don't know how to repay you.
[SANJI (NAMI)] Are you kidding? What the hell is this, Usopp?
[FRANKY (CHOPPER)] I think they're totally super, bro!
[NAMI (FRANKY)] I don't care anymore.
[CHOPPER (SANJI)] Thanks, Usopp! Great idea!
This thing detracts from Nami's beauty!
Aw, quit whining!
Without some sort of system like this,
we're never gonna remember who's who.
So Brownbeard, huh?
[USOPP] Hm?
That's right. I'm sure you've heard that name.
It's what I used to go by.
[LUFFY] Nope, sorry.
Are you kidding, you fool?
Hey, get off of me before I bite you!
Something's up.
You wouldn't say a word before, and now you won't stop yapping.
Why're you so eager to run your mouth now?
Oh ho.
I'm in a good mood because you guys are in for it.
Law knows that I'm with you now, and he's gonna come for me.
I despise all the worthless pirates
of your damn generation.
Law's the exception.
Hold on.
What do you mean "our generation"?
Don't you know anything?
Little fool.
I mean the 11 rookies with bounties
over 100 million who arrived at Sabaody
two years ago.
You lot, and Blackbeard.
People call you punks "The Worst Generation."
Troublemakers who were born at the change
of the era.
Reckless fools whose actions will determine
the future of this world.
After Whitebeard died, you all came
to the New World and began raising hell.
Anytime something big happened,
a member of your generation was usually
right in the thick of things.
Blackbeard, Kid, Law, Drake, and Hawkins.
Basil Hawkins was the one who shattered my crew,
leaving us defeated and broken.
It was because of him that my pirate career ended.
The coward took my legs from me.
My crew was annihilated.
I was fleeing for my life when at last,
I arrived here, on the island known as Punk Hazard.
Do you fools even know what this place is?
This island is not what it was.
It used to be a paradise, teeming with life.
Home to creatures of all shapes and colors.
Wow, for real?
It's nothing like that anymore.
[BROWNBEARD] This island housed the laboratory
of a Government scientist known as Dr. Vegapunk.
He and his team were stationed here
with the task of developing new chemicals
and weapons.
Vegapunk needed subjects on which to test
his inventions.
So, instead of going to prison, criminals were sent here,
where they were experimented on.
Four years ago, Vegapunk tested one of his
chemical weapons, and it went very, very wrong.
Two of the three labs exploded, destroyed almost entirely.
We are standing in the remains of one right now.
[GROUP] Huh?
That makes sense.
A huge explosion would do this kind of damage.
So Robin's theory was right after all.
Intense heat and toxic substances
seeped into the air,
and none of the plants or animals
on the island survived.
The Government ordered the island evacuated,
retrieving their own people but leaving
the test subjects behind.
Vegapunk's operation was shut down,
and his guinea pigs were thrown away like trash.
They did what they could to survive,
taking shelter in the Third Laboratory,
the only one still intact.
There, they were protected from the poison gas
that contaminated the entire island.
Those who survived were paralyzed
from exposure to the gas, which stole the use
of their lower bodies.
They lived on, without any real hope for the future.
But then...
...a year later, everything changed.
A kind master arrived on the island,
restoring the hope that had been lost.
With his ability, he purified the island
of the toxic gas.
He also gave the prisoners who couldn't walk
the mechanical means to move.
More than that, he gave them purpose
by making them his loyal subordinates.
[cries] Kind Master!
Master!
Merciful Master!
I came to the island a year after that,
desperate and broken.
Two years have passed since my arrival.
Some toxic substances remained in the air
even then, and breathing it left me feeling nauseous.
I began to think I had no more strength to carry on.
I had fought to survive, but I was reaching the end.
But then I saw them:
the men who had lost the use of their legs,
just as I had.
And with them, the Master.
I owe everything to him.
His kindness saved my life as it saved others
before me.
Vegapunk and his experiments stole my comrades' legs.
But then the Master arrived, a kind and generous savior.
[BOTH crying]
Master!
[BROWNBEARD] And then a few months ago,
fate brought us another surprise.
Trafalgar Law.
A Warlord arrived on the island and became
our second savior.
Using his special ability,
he gave legs to those of us who couldn't walk
without mechanical assistance.
They were the legs of living animals!
We thought we would never walk again,
so we wept when our bodies were restored.
Oh, my gosh, that's the most beautiful story ever!
You see? I told you Traffy was a good guy.
I'm not the only one whose life he saved.
How could Dr. Vegapunk do something so horrible?
Well, I guess this explains the half-sheep people.
The ones back at the laboratory.
Centaurs and the bird-woman.
It all makes sense now.
'Cept the dragon. What's up with that?
Ah, yes. Saw the dragon, did you?
That's just an artificial creature Vegapunk created
to guard the island from unwanted visitors.
It can adapt to any environment imaginable.
I heard one of the World Nobles liked it
and gave it a name.
I forgot what it was, but run if you see it.
It's very aggressive.
I'm not worried.
[ZORO] We already ate it.
Now you know who's in charge on the island
and why we're here.
Nobody else dares to come near it now.
It belongs to the Master.
Punk Hazard is the domain of our savior.
[BROWNBEARD chuckles] No, don't cry.
The Master continues his research
for the betterment of mankind.
To do so, he needs test subjects,
and each of you will have the honor of becoming one.
Like it or not, you're his!
[CAESAR CLOWN] Hm? Is something the matter?
[CENTAUR A] Master!
Master! I can't breathe!
What kind of... [coughs] ...medicine is this?
[coughs]
Please, Master!
[coughs]
Master!
[coughing]
Please just let me out of here.
[gasping]
I need you to hang on a little longer.
Describe how you feel.
From the sound of it,
there's some nausea and coughing.
Does your head hurt, as well?
[CENTAUR A] Yes!
It feels like it's going to split open.
[CAESAR CLOWN] Yes. Yes. I see.
[MARINE V] What? It wasn't Vegapunk?
But he was in charge.
If Vegapunk didn't cause that huge explosion,
who did, Smokey?
The person who made the weapon and accidentally set it off.
That was Caesar Clown.
[MARINES gasp]
He and Vegapunk worked together.
Ceasar Clown was second in command here.
But because of his tendency towards inhumane methods,
he and Vegapunk butted heads frequently.
P-Please, Master.
Please help me.
[gasping]
Shurorororo!
How are your eyes doing?
Are you seeing anything strange?
[CENTAUR A] Huh? Oh! Yes, there's a giant snake!
[yelling]
[CAESAR CLOWN] Shurorororo! Too bad!
All right, that's enough. Goodbye now.
After the accident happened,
Vegapunk was listed as responsible
because he was the person in charge.
Of course, it was a crime to develop
a chemical weapon of mass destruction
that could take out an entire island.
When Caesar Clown's involvement came to light
after the explosion, he was arrested.
But using his formidable ability,
he escaped from a prison ship,
and his location has been unknown since.
If my suspicions are correct,
and Caesar is back here on this island
conducting experiments,
we have to stop him!
Before he does something even more horrible
than before.
"Giant snake."
Was this one another failure?
[CAESAR CLOWN] Huh?
"Falure," you say?
You really should watch your tongue.
My experiments are never failures,
not even what happened four years ago.
None of the useless idiots in the World Government
know what they're talking about.
A failed experiment?
I developed a weapon that killed an entire island!
How is that anything but a success?
I proved myself the most efficient killer in the world!
Didn't I?!
I meticulously document each of my victims
until they draw their final breath!
Just you wait!
Soon it will be my day,
and they'll know I'm the greatest scientist
who ever lived!
Shurorororororo! Shurorororororo!
[NARRATOR] Struck by a sudden terrible pain,
the children begin to collapse one after another.
The Straw Hat crew is shocked when Chopper reveals
the horrifying cause.
Meanwhile, Zoro's group sets out to find the
unaware of the colossal shadows looming nearby.
