[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.
[NARRATOR] 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] The Straw Hat Pirates reach the New World
and land on Punk Hazard.
After they discover that the Master of the island,
Caesar Clown, has been performing terrible experiments,
they set off to confront him.
Huh?
Work with you?
I've got a plan to take down an Emperor.
[LUFFY] "Formed! Luffy and Law's Pirate Alliance!"
[NAMI (FRANKY)] So let me get this straight.
We meet by chance on this crazy island
and you ask us if we want to fight an Emperor
out of the blue?
Look, I don't know what this sleazeball is after,
but I don't trust him!
He's up to no good, Luffy!
[LAW] I'm not saying killing off an Emperor will be easy.
I just think our odds will be better
if we work together and plan everything step-by-step.
What do ya say?
This is your big chance.
Well, there's four of 'em, right?
So which one is it?
"Which one is it"?
Don't tell me you're thinking about it!
We can't team up with him!
[LAW] The name of our target...
[inaudible]
Right, got it.
[NAMI (FRANKY)] Huh?
Sure. We're in!
Huh? Luffy!
[USOPP, CHOPPER (SANJI)] What?! Team up with the Heart Pirates?!
What's the matter with you?!
Dammit, Luffy, how did you manage to go completely insane
in the time you were out saving Nami?
I mean, you weren't even gone for that long!
Calm down.
This psycho already scared the crap out of me,
now we have to trust him with our lives?
Now how'm I s'posed to sleep at night with him around?
I told you, Luffy. Let's just forget it.
It's risky.
That's why nobody is on board with it!
It's better for us to do things at our own pace!
She's right. Besides, it's way too early
to think about challenging the Four Emperors.
We're just not ready yet!
Hey, doc. Fix this raccoon.
Raccoons aren't important right now!
[CHOPPER (SANJI) screams] That's me!
S-Super...
[crying] What did you do to me?
[CHOPPER (SANJI) crying]
Luffy. I will go along with this, but we are all pirates.
And where you have pirates, well,
you're sure to have betrayal.
I'm just concerned because you're so quick to trust.
Hey. Are you gonna betray me?
No.
The rest of us are gonna need more than that!
Oh, come on.
A pirate alliance sounds like a lot of fun, right?
My gut says Traffy's an okay guy.
But even if he's not, what's the big deal?
You guys were training for the past two years.
I'll let you protect me! [laughs]
[ALL] Huh?!
Are you kidding me?
Aw, thank you, Luffy! Look, now I'm blushing!
Thanks a lot, buddy. I'm super flattered!
I promise, we won't let you down!
We're only awesome because it's our job!
There's no need to butter us up, you know!
Yeah, don't worry, Luffy!
Whatever happens, we've got your back!
And hey, even if these other wimps chicken out,
you've always got me.
I knew I could count on you! [laughs]
[OTHERS laughing]
[LUFFY] This is gonna be fun!
[LAW] Room.
And Shambles.
Ahh! It's about time!
Man, it's good to be back in my own body!
There's nobody else I'd rather be than me! [chuckles]
Super!
So you're back. That's great.
But don't ever take possession of Chopper's body again. Ever.
I'm back, but I'm not happy.
My body's all busted up now!
Would it have killed you big jerks
to be a little more careful with it?
[LUFFY, FRANKY sigh] I'm sorry. It was
--all Franky's fault. --all Luffy's fault.
It was my fault?
You're the one who turned into a monster and flipped out!
All I did was stop you!
With that same overpowered move you used to beat that Kraken!
That was overkill!
Fine, you're both jerks!
[LUFFY, FRANKY] Yeah. Sorry, Chopper.
[NAMI (SANJI)] Well, at least you got your own bodies back.
Why am I the only person without my own body?
First I was Franky, now I'm Sanji...
[LUFFY laughs] It's even funnier this way!
[CHOPPER laughs]
Looking good, Nami! [laughs]
Wow, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Stop laughing!
But it had to be you!
Chopper and Franky were both in the same place
when our scary new friend switched everyone back.
But since Sanji took your body with him
when he went looking for the samurai,
your heart had nowhere else to go.
So, if you're gonna be mad at someone, it should be Sanji!
You can fix it, can't you?
Not until your body comes back.
[NAMI (SANJI) gasps]
[LAW] So they're all here.
[LUFFY] Mm-hm. And we gotta help 'em. Somehow.
[CAESAR CLOWN] They'll never leave because
I've been giving them drugged candies.
[LAW] Let's just forget about them.
Too much work.
All of 'em are addicted to drugs.
[CHOPPER] Yeah, we know that! I tested them! Poor kids.
I want to take them all back home,
but they need to recover and build up their strength.
I don't know if we can do anything about their size.
It's sad. Who would do this to a bunch of little kids?
Well, the World Government, for one.
For hundreds of years now,
they've been conducting experiments
to try and turn people into giants.
The Government?
But why would they do something like that?
If I had to take a guess,
then I'd say it's to create unlimited giant soldiers.
It's hard to beat an army like that.
[NAMI (SANJI) gasps]
[LAW] Caesar's probably hoping to figure out how to do it first
so he can beat Vegapunk and the Government to the punch.
But I don't think it's that simple.
You sure you want to help them?
I mean, you don't even know who these kids are, do ya?
We don't. You're right, they may be strangers to me,
but they looked at me with tears in their eyes, begging for help.
The Master was able to trick them
into coming to this terrible place, but once they got here,
it didn't take too long for them to realize
that something wasn't right.
I'm going to make sure every single one of them
is safe and sound,
and I won't leave this island until I do!
If I leave with Luffy, are you gonna stay here alone?
Wait, I'm not goin' anywhere.
If this is important to Nami and Chopper, then I'll stay, too.
And Sanji wants to put that samurai back together.
Look, if you're gonna work with us,
then get used to helping people!
[USOPP sighs]
You have no idea what you're getting into here, pal.
Here's the thing. See, most of the time,
when you're forming an alliance, you have a couple of groups
with a common goal and you negotiate
the best way to get it done, does that sound right?
Obviously.
So you'd think. But in Luffy's world,
that logic gets thrown out the window completely!
Just means I'm friends with you!
Frankly, you can forget about having any say in what we do!
It's all up to him!
All up to me!
As soon as this guy makes up his mind about something, that's it!
You're along for the ride whether you like it or not.
If selfishness was a power,
he'd take out that Emperor on the spot!
How do you stand me?
[gasps]
Look. I understand that this is what your friends want,
but that doesn't concern our plan.
Hey! Stop flicking your boogers at me!
That's nasty!
Just wipe it off! [chuckles]
[CHOPPER] I can't move right now, remember?
[LUFFY] Right, sorry!
Fine. But we have to hurry up.
There's no time. Putting the samurai back together
can be your group's problem.
But I guess I can go investigate the drug
that was given to the children.
Now who's the ship's doctor again?
You come with me.
We'll do research behind Caesar's back.
[USOPP] There, that should do it.
I'm sorry. It's just, I can't walk right now.
I hope you don't mind.
[LUFFY laughs]
Wow, that's a lot of hats, Traffy!
Sorry for laughing, but I just...!
Super cute!
[ROBIN chuckles]
Careful out there, Chopper.
You can count on me!
[CENTAURS] And, push!
[CENTAURS grunting]
[CENTAURS] And, push!
[CENTAURS grunting]
[CENTAUR A] There we go! We've unlocked it now!
And, push!
[CENTAURS grunting]
This is odd. I wonder why they keep it in here?
Wait a minute. What's that there?
[CENTAUR D] It's so dark. I can't see a thing!
[CENTAUR D groans]
[CENTAURS gasp]
What the--?
[CENTAURS gasping]
So, you, uh, don't talk that much.
[LAW] As you could probably all tell
from those assassins he sent, Caesar wants to eliminate you,
as well as White Hunter and the G-5.
So he can take the children back.
He's not gonna stop pursuing you,
not until he gets what he's after.
Before the incident four years ago when he became a criminal,
he was a Government scientist.
Punk Hazard is restricted territory.
If word gets out that someone's been living here,
then Caesar will be forced to leave his perfect hideout.
That's why he'll stop at nothing to kill all of you.
This is a guy with a bounty of 300 million.
Not only did he eat the Logia-type Gas Gas Fruit,
he's also got weapons of mass destruction.
Caesar Clown is a force to be reckoned with.
[NAMI (SANJI)] 300 million?
Those of you who can't use Haki should steer clear of him.
He's extremely tough.
Well, we do have some Haki users.
There's me, Zoro, and Sanji.
Oh, and you.
Yeah, that should be enough.
I'll head over to the lab now.
Be careful out there.
Sure! So we're supposed to kidnap this Master guy, right?
That's the quickest way to do this?
[LAW] Yeah, that's right.
Wait. What good will it do us to kidnap Caesar?
Money? Well, no. That's not it. Caesar's their boss.
That's true, there wouldn't be anybody to pay his ransom.
What we're after is chaos, not money.
[NAMI (SANJI), FRANKY, ROBIN] Huh?
Chaos?
Sorry, I don't get it.
No point in explaining this now.
We can worry about what lies ahead when the time comes.
For right now, it's better to focus on capturing Caesar Clown.
It won't be easy.
As soon as that's done,
I'll explain the whole plan to you in detail.
That said...
Once we get our hands on Caesar...
[LAW] ...that's going to set everything in motion.
So be ready.
There's no turning back.
Last chance to change your mind.
It's up to you, Straw Hat.
Oh, don't worry. I'm still with ya!
Well, all right.
Then I'm more than willing to cooperate with you.
You just need to make sure your crew's on board, too.
Uh-huh! Sure thing!
[gunshots]
[MARINE A yells] Die!
[TASHIGI (SMOKER)] That's "Rebar" Smoothie!
And Fen Bock of the Gourd!
[TASHIGI (SMOKER)] Rope Tugging Chappe, too!
I though so! These people.
As it turns out, they're all former prisoners!
They just look a little bit different now.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] I think you're right.
But what's going on?
The report said everyone was killed
during the incident four years ago!
[CENTAURS yelling]
Smokey! Why do they all look like that?
I don't know! Who gives a damn what they look like,
just keep holdin' 'em back, would ya?
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] We can't send out a signal.
[SMOKER (TASHIGI)] Until we get to sea!
[CENTAUR L] Fire!
[TRANSPONDER SNAIL A ringing]
[SUBORDINATE A] Master, you have a call. Sir?
[CAESAR CLOWN] Oh, let it ring.
I'm sure it's something along the lines of,
"We opened the door and something terrible was inside!
It's killing our comrades left and right!
Oh, Master, please help us!" et cetera, et cetera.
Why would I want to listen to that?
I never imagined this island would be graced with
so many visitors.
There's no need to collect any more test subjects.
[SUBORDINATE A gasps]
[CENTAUR A panting]
[CENTAUR A] Hello? Master? Master!
[CENTAUR A panting] Please pick up, quick!
We did what you told us!
We opened up that big door in the Burning Lands!
No good! The Master won't answer me!
[CENTAUR E gasps] Oh no. It's catching up to us!
What the hell? How far can that crazy thing run?
[CENTAUR A] I don't know, but I don't want to die
like everyone else!
[CENTAUR E] Where to?
[CENTAUR A] This way!
[CENTAURS panting]
[CENTAURS scream]
We're done for!
That thing's so huge, we're never gonna get away!
[CENTAURS scream]
No, please! Please don't kill me!
Master, why?
[CENTAURS coughing, groaning]
Oh yes, that's right.
You don't know my pet, do you?
It's a rare specimen.
Its body is made of deadly slime.
[CENTAURS groaning]
Master...!
[CAESAR CLOWN] It can be a bit much.
But I can't allow anyone to leave this island!
[CENTAURS coughing]
[laughs]
How does it feel to be set free after so long, Smiley?
[NARRATOR] As the shocking truth behind Caesar's
chemical weapons of mass destruction
is gradually revealed,
the Straw Hats set out to capture the mad scientist
and put an end to his plans.
But thanks to Luffy's course of action,
the situation takes an unexpected turn.
[LUFFY] On the next One Piece!
"Capture M! The Pirate Alliance's Operation Launches!"
