12x416 - Saving Ace! The Next Stop: the Great Prison!

[bunniefuu]

Travel across the oceans of the world

Bellow a battle cry

Once your heart feels refreshed, let the signal to set sail ring out

We've left the established course

Right now, we're rowing straight toward

The borderline between the sky and the ocean

In the dark depths of the ocean, adventure holds its breath

Don't you have a good time just imagining it?

Travel across the oceans of the world

Bellow a battle cry

Once your heart feels refreshed, let the signal to set sail ring out

"That feeling" I get when embarking

Is something I hope to remember always

If I can, I won't be afraid of anything

With our pulses racing, let's go on a trip now

Shy hearts engrave the rhythm of adventure

Snatch up the treasure here and there

While laughing out loud

As we dash by like a noisy party

Make some waves...

Life is "Adventurous"

Be aware it's "Dangerous"

Who's gonna be "One of us"

And a trip goes on because

We da pirate of the "Mass"

To the West, To the East

Gotta find my way, Sail away

All the way to "One piece"!!

Stuff a dream into your empty chest

And spread your wings

If the wind blowing through them dyes your heart

Let's press forward

Snatch up the treasure here and there

While laughing out loud

As we dash by like a noisy party

Make some waves...

After realizing the purity of his heart

and hearing about his fight against the Celestial Dragons,

Hancock finally came to trust Luffy.

"Saving Ace! The Next Stop: the Great Prison!"

Are you really gonna give me a ride?!

Don't worry. I wouldn't lie.

That's great! It doesn't have to be a great boat as long as it sails.

Departure will be tomorrow morning.

The Kuja Pirates will give you a ride to the Sabaody Archipelago.

--What?! By our pirate ship? --Sorry to be a pain!

Rest well tonight to prepare for tomorrow.

I can't wait to get off this island tomorrow!

I really wanna see everybody soon!

Really. What a strange man.

Sonia! Mari!

Invite Luffy to tonight's banquet!

--A man to our banquet?! --Big Sis, that's too...

--Didn't you understand what I said? --Y-Yes...

What banquet?

It's a banquet to celebrate the Kuja Pirates' safe return with a big haul.

You got any food at this banquet?

I haven't been to one in a while! Yes!! A banquet!

Are you gonna come, too?

No, I'm a little tired.

I'll go to bed early.

Okay. You'll give me a ride and food.

I can't hardly believe it!

Doesn't he mean he can hardly believe it?

Banquet! Banquet! Banquet!

I didn't think that Snake Princess would trust him this much.

I like you!

It's dinner time!! A banquet!!

I'm gonna eat!!

This tastes great!

This one's good, too!

There's a lot of good food! Aren't you gonna eat anything?

Then, I'll eat yours, alright? Oh, you guys, too.

That man saved our lives.

I heard he'll leave tomorrow morning.

Men's bodies are strange as the rumors said.

I saw it at the arena. They can stretch their legs really long!

I wanna get my hands on Luffy-sama to see how much he can stretch.

--"Luffy-sama"? --That's his name.

Oh, Luffy-sama!

Watch your mouth!

It's unthinkable to address a man in such a way.

Don't forget the rule of Amazon Lily!

Then, why is Luffy-sama here?

Right?

Why is a man who once got the death sentence here, Ran?

And of all places, our celebration!

I can't believe that Snake Princess has forgiven him.

Maybe, it's...

...a trap laid by Snake Princess.

A trap?

He surprised them at the arena by putting up a fight so she wants him to eat a lot

and catch him off guard and give him hell.

So it's our role to give him hell, right?

Are you ready?

Let's take care of the man!

Wait!

He's starting to act strange.

Oh, no! Did he notice?

Hey! Screw you people!!

That's enough!!

He sensed the trap!

Maybe he wants to fight us with the pan and the ladle.

That sounds like something that stupid man would do.

Don't get beaten!

Why aren't you singing?!

What are you doing?

Look, you people! This is how you have a banquet!

Yo h* h* h*… Yo h* h* h*…

Yo h* h* h*… Yo h* h* h*…

Gather up all of the crew! Time to ship out Binks's Brew!

Sea wind blows to where, who knows? The waves will be our guide!

O'er across the ocean's tide, the sunset is goin' wild

See the sky! Birds singing in circles passing by!

--What's that? --Men are funny!

It's funnier than Sweetpea's drunk dance!

I hate to admit it, but I can't top this.

Sailing out on our journey to the ends of the sea!

Hey! Yo h* h* h*… Yo h* h* h*…

Yo h* h* h*…

Why can't you get it? It's like this!

Like this! This!

This!

Is it like this?

That's so funny, Luffy-sama!

Men stick chopsticks in their nasal cavities to their mouth

and hold baskets in their hand...

What a classless dance!

Gum-Gum Belly-talk!

Here! This is the specialty of Maiden Island!

What? Specialty?

Penne gorgonzola with Sea King meat.

I often eat Sea King meat but this is different!

It really does stretch!

It's soft like gum!

Your time's up!

--What? One more time! --No, then you won't stop!

Wow, this Sea King meat is very good! It's hard to eat...

W-W-What are you doing - picking and stretching my body?!

We can't help it! You'll leave tomorrow, right?

There are a lot of people who want to touch you just one time.

--It's taking too long! I wanna touch him now! --Me, too!

" gol per touch"

--You're so popular! --Luffy-chan!

You can't do business using me without asking me!!

Come on, Luffy-chan! Tonight is our only chance to touch a man!

Hey! S-Stop, you people! I can't eat! Hey! Hey!

Where's Margaret?

--Where did Luffy-sama go? --No! He ran away!

He can't have gotten too far! Let's find him and touch him!

What's the matter with them?

Keep hiding!

This is only food that I could bring.

It's great that you can return to your friends!

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry that I got you into some trouble.

I worried when you turned into stone!

But you protected us, right?

I heard what happened.

Thank you, Luffy!

What's wrong with Big Sis?

She hasn't eaten anything and while she said she's tired, she also can't sleep.

The forcing assemble thing is maybe bothering her.

Tomorrow morning...

Big Sis!

--Granny Nyon! --What's the matter, Margaret?

Luffy's been chased by girls of the village.

No wonder. They don't see men often.

Hey, Granny Bean!

This part of the village is secluded. Stay here for a while.

And my name's not Bean!!

He has something to eat, so just bring him tea or something.

Okay.

Granny, you like to read newspapers, huh?

Coo News isn't delivered to a Calm Belt

so it's hard to get it but since our empress is a Warlord of the Sea,

I have to know what's going on in the world at least.

Who's a Warlord of the Sea?

Snake Princess.

Wh...

What?!

She's a Warlord of the Sea?

Does that mean she's really strong in a fight?

You are a pirate. Didn't you notice it?

N-No, I didn't.

Don't you read newspapers?

No, I don't read them.

Oh, what a shock!

Snake Princess became empress of this country

and a captain of the Kuja Pirates years ago.

She was young but

they put a price of million on her head after her first expedition.

Just one?

It had to do with the bad reputation Kuja had even before her.

The World Government became cautious about her from the start

and they suggested that she become one of the Seven Warlords.

But now, that title is about to be revoked.

Because...

W-What?!

The Seven Warlords and Navy Headquarters

are gonna fight the Whitebeard Pirates?!

What's that?! What'll happen?! W-W-W-W-Wait a minute!

T-This is too much to hear at once!

What a foolish man! You don't know anything.

I must say, that was just a prediction.

But the battle will probably happen.

The World Government has made a move.

Whitebeard is a man who would never allow his mates to be k*lled.

Even though they know this, they announced the public execution of...

...Portgaz D. Ace, a great commander of Whitebeard's.

They announced the public execution of...

...Portgaz D. Ace, a great commander of Whitebeard's.

What's wrong?

Of who?

Ace. "Fire Fist" Ace.

Ace... is gonna get ex*cuted?

I heard a pirate called Blackbeard...

...became a Warlord by defeating "Fire Fist" Ace.

Blackbeard...

The World Government will take full advantage of this big fish they've caught,

--a pirate named Ace... --Granny...

Granny!!

That's my brother!

Ace is my older brother!

What?!

Is that true?! He's your brother?!

I didn't know that he was captured.

And he's gonna be ex*cuted?! Then, there's no chance for him to escape!

If Whitebeard wins this battle, there will be a chance for him.

What should I do? Where are they gonna execute him?

It'll take place Marinford's town square,

where Navy Headquarters stands.

It says "in one week," which means days from today.

What?! That's too soon!

How long will it take to get to Sabaody Archipelago from here?

It will take more than a week.

If it takes that long, then Ace will be finished before I meet my crew!

Then how long will it take to get to where Ace is?

Impel Down is where he locked, and it'll take a week by a pirate ship

and days by a navy ship.

Why?! Navy ships are that fast?

There's a current used exclusively by the World Government.

Enies Lobby.

Impel Down.

Navy Headquarters.

There's a giant whirlpool which connects those three facilities.

When you open the Gate of Justice at any of the three facilities,

the current runs inside allowing you to enter.

That means if the gates aren't open, you'd just keep drifting on the current.

Pirate ships would rather avoid the current

by going a long way round.

What should I do?

What do you want to do?

Don't tell me that's your brother's Vivre Card!

Oh, is it the sheet that moves around that you care about so much?

That's a different one.

This is the one that Ace gave to me.

That's also known as a paper of life.

It tells you a direction in which the person is and about their vital energy.

So, if it's that small, it means...

When I got it, it was ten times bigger.

Ace has his own adventure...

I wanted you to have it. Here.

Always hang on to that.

Huh? It's just a scrap of paper.

That scrap of paper will bring you and me together again sometime.

You don't want it?

No, I'll keep it.

It's natural for a big brother to worry...

...about his bungling kid brother.

Ace won't like me rescuing him since he's stronger.

But...

I'm sorry, everybody.

I'm gonna take a little side trip.

I wanna go and rescue Ace!

Do you know for sure

how reckless it would be and how big this battle is going to be?

You'll be like an ant blown into a storm.

You can just be flicked away without even having done anything.

I don't care what's gonna happen! I just wanna go!

I can't just sit by calmly on the sidelines and let this happen!

I see.

So you're going to rescue the most infamous prisoner in the world now.

If there is a chance in a million,

you better go to the Great Prison where he's being held.

When they move him to the execution ground in Marinford,

the navy admirals and the Seven Warlords will be keeping a close eye.

However, because your brother is now the most important prisoner they have,

there is no doubt that they're guarding the prison with the military's full strength.

So it's impossible to enter.

I care more about getting there in time than what happens after.

I got to get there while Ace is there.

Just give me a big oar, and I'll paddle myself...

Wait a second! You can't get there on will alone.

This is a slim chance, too, but...

Snake Princess refuses to follow the order to force the Seven Warlords of the Sea to assemble.

If only she obeys the order,

we can take advantage of it and let you on their ship.

Their ship? There's a navy ship here?!

Then I'm gonna go and ask her!

Granny Nyon!

What's wrong, Enishida? Why are you in such a hurry?

Thank god. I was going to come get you.

What happened?

Well...

...Snake Princess...

...has come down with an unknown illness.

--She's sick?! --Oh my god!

Big Sis!

Am I...

Am I...

...going to die?

Hancock has fallen ill.

Granny Nyon tells the whole g*ng about this terrifying illness,

which has k*lled previous empresses of Amazon Lily.

What could this illness be?

On the next episode of One Piece!

"Love is a Hurricane! Love-Love Hancock!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
