16x627 - Luffy Dies at Sea!? The Pirate Alliance Comes Apart!

[bunniefuu]

All the pirates who are after the One Piece...

...head for the New World,the second half of the Grand Line.

However, no one has ever fully explored it

except for Gold Roger, King of the Pirates.

The New World has ruinedmany pirates' dreams and ambitions.

Now, Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body

turned to rubber after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,

and his friends venture into that sea.

I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!

The Straw Hats finally entered the New World,

the harshest sea ruled by the Four Emperors

and were drawn into a climactic battle on Punk Hazard

which ended with Caesar's capture.

Then, they headed outfor their next destination - Dressrosa

along with their pirate ally - the Warlord - Law.

In the course of their trip, they were attacked by

the Breed Pirates who were looking to get hold of Caesar

but they defeated them after a great struggle.

"Don Quixote Doflamingo..."

"...Withdraws from..."

"...the Seven Warlords"!

"Startling!The Big News Shakes Up the New World!"

"Withdraws from the Seven Warlords"?What's going on?

How do I know? Don't ask me!

Dressrosa is finished!

All tall waves were originally...

...little waves, barely worthy of notice.

Hey! What's gonna happen to the arms deal

between Don Quixote family and us?!

Ring, ring, ring... Ring, ring, ring...

I've been trying to reach thembut nobody picks up!

What should we do?!

I-I can't believe this!We will lose the w*r without arms!

Hey, listen to this!

Those reckless rookies from two years agoformed an alliance!

I'm sure they're up to something!

Doflamingo resigned from the Warlords!

Why did he do that?!Isn't there anymore information?!

Alright! Get more information!

How did they find out about our alliance?!

Who is this freelance writer named Absa?!

He gets scoops very often these days!

I don't care about us.I'm more concerned about the other news.

Straw Hat and Trafalgar!

I'm sure they're looking to take outone of the Four Emperors like we are.

Which one is their target?!

Ring, ring, ring... Ring, ring, ring...

Ring, ring, ring...

Ring, ring... Clank.

It's me.I resigned from the Warlords.

--He picked up!--Picked up!

Finally!

Doflamingo?!

He will hear you!

Hello? I'm Monkey D. Luffy!

I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!

I told you to shut up!

Hey, m1ngo!

Are you stupid, old Caesar's boss?!

He gave Brownbeard and the children hell!

We will give you back Caesar as we promisedbut if you do that again,

I will beat the hell out of you!

Straw Hat Luffy.

You went away for two yearsafter your brother died.

Where were youand what were you doing?

I shouldn't tell anyone about it!

I wanted to see you.

What?

I have somethingthat you'll want very badly now.

Something... that I'll want...

…very badly?

H-Hey!

How delicious is that meat you're talking about?!

Straw Hat-ya!Don't get drawn into his pace!

One chunk of meat! Two chunks of meat!

Luffy!

Keep yourself together!

This is a special attack called "His Pace"!

One hundred chunks of meat!Two hundred chunks of meat!

Stop! Don't get drawn into it!

Joker! Cut the crap!

We'll hand Caesar over to you as we promised.

Well, that's for your own good.

If you try to run away with him,

you know what will happen to you guys.

Now, can I hear my precious business partner's voice?

Joker! I'm sorry!

You resigned from the Warlords for me!

Did you hear him?

Yeah, he sounded fine.

Eight hours from now,

at the beach on the southeast side of Green Bit,

the solitary island north of Dressrosa.

We will leave Caesar thereat three in the afternoon.

Go ahead and pick him up.And this will all be finished.

That's too bad.I wish I could have a drink with you...

Just hang up!

Clank.

That was close.

You almost got drawn into his pace.

Your eyes! Your eyes!

Hey, wait!

We didn't tell him how many men he can bring!

"How many men"?

That's right.

What are we gonna doif he brings his entire crew?!

Damn!

It doesn't matter.

The handover of Caesar is a part of our plan.

It's just to lure them.

You mean, destroying a SMILE manufacturing factory

while it's unguarded is our main purpose?!

Yes. But we don't know where it is.

You're joking.

Don't worry!

Factories are big. You can barely miss them.

Once we get there, we'll super find it!

I will destroy it with my laser beam!

Oh, brother!

I have intelligence on everything but the factory.

No wonder.

It's an important asset for them, isn't it?

Maybe, there is a secret to it.

Law-dono!

Law-dono!

You said you're gonna go to Green Bit earlier!

Earlier!

We will dock this ship at Dressrosa.Don't worry.

Is that so? Thank you!

Thank you!

Tra-guy, have you been to that island?

Dress-roba!

Dress-roba (old woman)?

It's "rosa"!

I've never been there.

It's that b*stard's kingdom.

Then, let's figure everything outonce we get there!

It's gonna be an adventure!

Can't wait to see Dressrosa!

I wanna go to the Wano Kingdom soon, too!

Don't be ridiculous!

You can't just show up without a plan...

Sanji, I'm hungry!

What do we have for breakfast?

Sandwiches.

Yeah! I want a cotton-candy sandwich!

I'll just have a cup of tea.

I'm gonna have cola!

A glass of milk for me!

I think the best breakfast in the world isSanji-kun's sandwiches!

What is a sandwich?

I don't like bread!

I can't tell you why we were being chased.

But we set sail for the place called Zou originally.

Zou?

Do you know it?

It's another coincidence.

After handing over Caesarand destroying the SMILE factory,

I was gonna head for Zou.

Really?!

Yes, my crew is already there.

I-If so, can we go along with you there?

Yes, you can! Let's go thereand then the Wano Kingdom!

Hey!

Thank you!

W-Well...

Luffy-dono, thank you for everything!

Everything!

Don't mention it!

Right, Tra-guy?

Pardon me.

Three samurais including me, and Momonosuke -

four of us headed for Zou

but our ship wrecked

and two of us samurais and Momonosukedrifted to Dressrosa.

But we had been chased byDoflamingo and the others there

and I ran into an unknown ship.

There, I met the childrenwho were looking to get treated.

And unfortunately, the ship left the port

before I knew it and headed for that island.

--Father!--Oh no! Momonosuke!

I was gonna go after the ship

and my fellow samurai Kanjuro triedto cover me but got caught!

Go after Momonosuke! Don't worry about me!

He let me sail out to the sea!

I have to save him!

I have to go back!

What a man, Kanjuro!

Kanjuro!

Alright! I'm gonna go save him with you!

Guys! Don't forget our purpose!

Kanjuro!

Young Master-sama,Trébol-sama is not here yet.

Okay.

Thank you for waiting.

NAVY

THE NAVY HEADQUARTERS

There are only seven Warlords in the world!

They are the pirates who were chosen and given

the carte blanche for robbery by the World Government

in exchange for their overwhelming strengthand notorious prestige!

Them taking sides with the Government has to be

seen as a threat to all other pirates in the world.

The greatest swordsman in the world!

"Hawk-Eye" Dracule Mihawk!

The king of Dressrosa and a charismatic devil!

"Heavenly Demon" Don Quixote Doflamingo!

He is now the Navy's human weapon!

"Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma!

The empress of Amazon Lily!

"Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock!

One of the Worst Generation

and the mastermind of the Rocky Port Incident!

"Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law!

And this man has become powerful rapidlyin last two years.

The leader of the Pirate Dispatch Organizationand a living legend.

"Star Clown" Buggy!

Are you surprised that I'm a Warlord?

You dummies!

It's not like I wanted to become one.

The World Government begged me in tears

so I accepted reluctantly!

But this is only the beginning.

No one can stop me from advancing!

I'm gonna join the Four Emperors in a few years!

And I'm gonna become the King of...

And the man I told you about earlier.

They are the Seven Warlords.

But that all changed early this morning.

Doflamingo resigned out of the blue.

And we might need to expel Law

from the Warlords depending on his intention.

Together, they're one of the

Three Great Powers along with the Navy HQ and the Four Emperors.

Things shouldn't be so unstable...

Yes, I know, Brandnew.

Fleet Admiral!

I'm not gonna let Law and Straw Hatdo whatever they want!

I got an annoying call fromSmoker of the G- yesterday.

Let's see how things go for today.

I sent Fujitora!

Your Majesty!

Please don't quit!

Doflamingo-sama!

Is it true what they say on the newspaper?!

Please tell us it's not true!

Trébol-sama!

Trébol-sama, where are you?!

Have you seen Trébol-sama?

No.

Okay.

I wonder what Young Master-sama is going to do?!

If the Navy is gonna come to attack,I want to fight-in!

We will just follow the Young Master.

Trébol-sama, where are you?

Oh, Baby !

What are you doing up there?!

Look! The whole kingdom is going crazy!

I'm sure the whole world is getting upset!

Hey, hey!

By the way, did you get your fiancé k*lled again?

Too close!

Why do you keep asking me that?You're so annoying!

Annoying but?

--Too close!

Annoying but what? Hmmm?

Annoying but you like me, maybe?

That's enough!Young Master-sama was calling you!

Young Master-sama?

He wanted you to bring that thing!

Stay away! You make me sick!

Hey, hey, hey!

You just keep getting your fiancé k*lled! Baby !

Stop choosing guys that would be k*lled by Doffy and marry me!

Hmm, just kidding!

Do you...

...need me?

Cut it out!

The Colosseum is always packed.

Thanks to you, Diamante.

What are you saying?

Doffy, that's because you're a charismatic king.

No.

That's because you're strong.

Stop. You make it sound likeI'm the hero of the Colosseum.

You are the hero of the Colosseum.

Stop saying that.

Okay, I stop.

Alright, I admit it if you insist!

Yes, I am the hero of the Colosseum!

I brought it!

Doffy, it's that thing!

You're too close!

Too close but?

But I like it. Sit down.

If Straw Hat Luffy finds out about this,

I'm sure he will try to get hold of it.

An alliance can sometimes prove a hindrance.

Diamante. I want to entrust this to you.

Wait a second, Doffy! I can't take it.

No, I want to entrust this to you.

Stop. You make it sound likeI'm some kind of genius.

I can only entrust this to a genius like you.

Stop saying that.

Okay, I stop.

Alright, I admit that I'm a genius if you insist!

Yes! I can take care of that dumb-a*s Straw Hat!

I'll be counting on you!

I know he will jump at it!

The source of his late brother's power.The Flare-Flare Fruit.

I'm sure he wouldn't want anybody else to have it!

I see an island!

I see it!

The Straw Hats see a shadow of an island.

What is that rocky island?!

We made it! It's Dressrosa!

You idiot! Don't shout!Doflamingo will hear us!

No, he won't!

We'll save you soon, Kanjuro!

This is a kingdom of love and passion - Dressrosa.

I can't wait!
