I've never seen the end of the world with my own eyes

That's why I start a journey with you, we can!

umi kara umi wo mata ni kakete

Traveling from sea to sea

hitotsunagi no takara sagashi ni

In search of the one-piece treasure

sonna no yumemonogatari dato

Despite the fact that everyone laughs and says

daremo ga waratteiru kedo

that it's just a fantasy

mune no takaburi dake ga rashinban

A rush of excitement is our only compass

shittakaburi shitero yo

Just keep pretending you know everything

kyoukasho nante sa guidebook

Textbooks are just guidebooks

ame mo namida mo itsuka wa yamu

Both the rain and our tears will eventually stop

kao wo agero ikari wo agero

Hold up your head, pull up anchor

kokoro no arashi ga sugita nara

Once the storm in your heart subsides

kajitore saa kachitore

Take the helm, now, win a victory

ashita no kaze ga fuku koro niwa

By the time tomorrow's wind blows

harebare ho wo hare mune wo hare

Get refreshed, spread sail, chest out

It makes me long to see someone

dareka ni aitakunarun da

There are tons of unimaginable truth

souzou tsukanai koto bakari daro

Don't turn a blind eye

miteminufuri suruna yo

Common sense is just the mind of the masses

joushiki nante sa tasuuketsu

I've never seen the end of the world with my own eyes

kono sekai no hate nante kono me de mita wake janai

That's why we've got to go, Captain Live-By-My-Own-Rules

dakara ikou ze amano jack senchou

Who says it's impossible? Nothing has started yet

dekiyashinai koto tte nani? mada nani mo hajimatte nai

I want to know everything now, yes, we can!

subete shiritain da ima, yes, we can!

Yes, we can! You can!

Yes, we can! You can!

This moment

kono shunkan

We can! I can!

We can! I can!

This great feeling

kono kaikan

Now, now, yes, we can!

ima ima, yes, we can!

Yes, we can!

Yes, we can!

Help!

Shanks!

Get lost!

Hey, don't cry! You're a man!

But... Shanks!

Your arm!

It's only an arm. It's no big deal.

I'm just glad you're alright...

You'll never be a pirate!

I will too!

Someday, I'm gonna gather a crew every bit as good as yours,

and I'm gonna find the greatest treasure in the world,

and I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates! I'll show you!

You're gonna surpass us, huh?

In that case...

...I'll leave this hat with you.

It's dear to me.

Take good care of it!

Come bring it back to me someday!

Once you've become a great pirate!

That's our promise, Luffy!

"Curtain-up on a New Adventure! Arriving at the Phantom Island, Zou!"

Following Nami and the others who they parted with at Dressrosa,

Luffy and the g*ng are heading

MISTER LUFFY GO

to the next island, Zou.

Wow! Shanks appears in the story already?!

That's our Luffy- senpai !

Isn't that amazing?! It's so amazing!

What are you doing, Boss?! You look very excited...

I was just telling everyone a series of legends that I learned by

interviewing Luffy- senpai and the others!

What?!

You guys can hear it too so just sit down!

Go on already!

Please, Boss!

All right!

A decade later, Luffy- senpai left Windmill Village

and met Roronoa Zoro-senpai, also known as

Pirate Hunter, at a Navy base.

"Pirate Hunter"... What a cool name!

A girl tried to feed him rice balls.

But a Navy soldier stomped on them.

It was good. Thank you for the food.

What are you...?!

That doesn't work!

W-Who the hell are you?!

I'm Luffy!

The man who's gonna be the King of the Pirates!

I'll be your pirate, if I'm just gonna die here instead!

But I'll tell you this right now.

I'm only going to fulfill my ambition!

To be the world's greatest swordsman!

That sounds great!

The King of the Pirates would need someone like that on his crew!

Gum-Gum...

...p*stol!

Nice!

Zoro.

My pleasure, Captain.

"Three-Sword Style" Zoro-senpai who was looking

to become the world's greatest swordsman...

 went on a journey with Luffy-senpai.

How awesome is that?!

I'm a thief who steals from pirates! The name's Nami!

Hey, wanna team up with me?!

Cat Burglar Nami-senpai!

She was a thief who was stealing treasure from pirates.

But she had a good reason for it...

So these are your true colors, huh?

Surprised? It was all an act.

I'm a pirate, plain and simple! And an officer of the Arlong Pirates!

For many years, her home village was under the control

of a Fish-Man named Arlong

and she was trying to buy it back with the money she had

risked her own life to collect.

Luffy...

Help me...

Of course I will!

Nami!

You're my friend!

Yeah!

That was the moment the navigator Nami-senpai joined the crew.

F-Friend...

I-I wish I could hear him saying that to me!

Bye, everyone! I'll be back!

I am Usopp, leader of the great pirates who reign over this village!

People praise me - and then praise me more - as "Captain Usopp"!

In Syrup Village, they met Usopp-senpai.

He was known as the biggest talker in the village.

But he's actually a manly man who'll stand up to his enemy

at the risk of his life when the need arises!

Even if I'm no match for him...

I will protect them!

I'm a brave warrior of the sea!

I won't let you lay a finger on the village!

Why is an outsider like you butting into this village's business?!

Because there's a man in this village I don't wanna let die!

H-Here it comes!

That was where they met the Going Merry-senpai too!

You guys take care, too! Let's meet again sometime!

How come?

Get on already.

We're friends now, aren't we?

As a sn*per looking to become a brave warrior of the sea,

Usopp-senpai joined the crew!

Luffy-senpai needed a cook

and that's when he met Sanji-senpai who was working at

a floating restaurant as a sous-chef.

Eat it.

Sorry...

It's pretty damn delicious, isn't it?

It is!

I found a good cook!

This restaurant is that damn geezer's treasure!

I... I can't repay the damn geezer for his kindness...

...unless I risk my life for him too!

Dying isn't something you should do to repay kindness!!

Say...

do you know the All Blue?

No...

Wait.

We both have foolish dreams.

In order to achieve my goal, the All Blue...

Sanji?

Yeah. I'll come along...

on your journey to become the "King of the Pirates"!

What?

I'll be the cook for your ship.

Is that okay or not?

It's okay!!

All right!!

Owner Zeff!!

Thank you for all the damn things you've done for me over all these years!!

I'll never forget your kindness...

...for the rest of my life!!

Sanji-senpai is a first class chef of the sea!

I hope I can meet him soon and see his kicking techniques!

Isn't that... backwards?

To cure Nami-senpai's disease, they stopped by at a Winter Island.

And there, they met "Cotton Candy Lover" Tonytony Chopper-senpai!

He's a human-reindeer hybrid because of eating the Human-Human Fruit.

He used to have no friends because of his outlandish look.

But he's a good doctor who studied advanced medical care under his mentors.

Ahh!

You'd better be prepared if you're gonna meddle with someone else's skull flag!

Gum-Gum...

...Bazooka!!

I can't become your friend!

Shut up! Let's go!

Luffy-senpai welcomed Chopper-senpai as the ship's doctor.

He's so great!

I keep getting moved to tears!

B-B-B-B...

Believe it or not,

Robin- senpai and Franky- senpai were their enemies at first!

What?!

But Robin-senpai who was also known as Demon Child,

was traveling along with the crew since Alabasta.

And Franky-senpai first appeared as the leader of the Franky Family...

...in the City of Water - Water Seven!

Robin!

I've come to get you!

Just leave the rest to us!

If... I'm allowed to make a small wish...

I...

I want to live!!

Take me to the seas with you!

We're gonna go back together!

Robin!

Come on. Get on, Franky.

On my ship.

Fine. I suppose I can take care of it for you.

I, Franky, will take on the role of the shipwright for your crew!

Robin-senpai as an archeologist who is searching

for the truth of the -Year Void,

and Franky-senpai as the shipwright for the group -

they both came to travel with the crew.

And in a mysterious area of sea known as the Florian Triangle,

they met Brook-senpai who is dead and whose body is nothing but bones.

You,

join my crew!

Yeah, okay.

The name of the friend that we promised to meet up with at the cape is...

...Laboon!

After making such a one-sided promise, I can't just say "I'm sorry we're dead"...

...from a distant place where he can't even hear me.

Because we told him "We'll be back at any cost" as men!

I'm so happy to be alive!

Of course you are.

Can I join the crew?

Sure.

Since he came back by the power of the Revive-Revive Fruit,

he had been drifting about the sea all alone.

And that was the moment he finally got friends!

This is how Luffy- senpai built up a circle of friends

and they became the Straw Hats as we know it today!

That's it for my interview report.

This is no time to be sentimental!

Let's get Luffy- senpai and the others safely to Zou!

Yeah!

Keep going for Zou!

The A.O. Pirates, formerly of the

NAVY HEADQUARTERS

Whitebeard Pirates, have been wiped out.

Is it that guy again?

Yes, it's the w*rlord - Edward Weevil.

KIZARU (BORSALINO) - THE NAVY HQ ADMIRAL

How many captains who used to work under Whitebeard...

...have been brought down?

captains, sir.

Like the other cases, it seems like they were blown up

along with the town after some kind of argument.

The casualties are about .

He always causes a lot of collateral damage.

Even though he's the w*rlord, we can't just overlook it.

What should we do?

He says he's "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate's biological son and that

makes him special but many people aren't buying it...

UNCLEAR JUSTICE

Well, it doesn't matter to us if it's true or not.

Whoever his father is, he has one sure value.

As a pirate, he's overwhelmingly strong.

Pretty much like Whitebeard when he was young.

That's the only thing they have in common.

A week after leaving Dressrosa...

Oh, it's too foggy. I can't see ahead.

You guys are getting seasick too often!

How could you call yourselves pirates?!

Chewing gum... Chewing gum...

Chewing gum?

It'll make it a little better, Grandma said.

Oh, that's why there is gum stuck everywhere on this ship!

What a riot!

Boss! I see something at two o'clock!

What is it?!

In the dense fog,

there's a mountain or a monster...

I hope there's no monster that can be mistaken for a mountain!

But it looks like it's moving slowly...

You're just drunk, you...

If it's a mountain that moves, let's go!

No, idiot! Anyway, what we gotta do now

is get out of this foggy maze as soon as possible!

Otherwise, we'll hit a reef and capsize!

Wait, God.

Did you call me "God"? I'm flattered!

I'm a man of million and I'm flattered!

I'm sure even the Navy admirals are aware of you now.

Look. The Vivre Card is pointing towards that.

Oh, you're right! That means your friends are there!

Usopp, you look sick. Do you want chewing gum too?

I've been refusing to face the reality...

I heard...

...Zou blocks out invaders with dense fog and an adverse current.

There are headwinds too!

Take in the sails! We'll row it forward!

Roger that...

Hey! That's not how you respond!

Is this the island, Zou?!

No, that's strange!

This is no good! Let's run! Turn it around!

No, this is it.

Tra-guy! But this is a zou (elephant)!

Yeah, Zou is the name of a place

that flourishes on the back of a massive elephant.

What?! Is it alive?

It keeps moving so it'll never be at the same location.

It's a Phantom Island.

It's not actually an island so Log Poses won't get you here.

I've never been here before either.

It's showing its back to us.

That means Black Foot and the others could've gotten here much earlier.

So we were chasing an elephant that was walking away.

Yeah. Get ready to make landfall.

Can you give us some food?

For you?!

Can you give Straw Hat- ya some food?

Take everything in the food storage!

So this is Zou!

There are such unusual things outside our country!

I wonder if Momonosuke is okay.

Hey! I heard there is a tribe that hates humans.

Yes, it's the Mink Tribe.

They hold off humans and people say the history of their country

goes back nearly a thousand years.

A thousand years?! On the elephant's back?!

Does that mean that elephant has been alive for a thousand years?!

He is the great pirate Whitebeard's son and

the last pirate of the Seven Warlords, Edward Weevil!

To avenge his father's death,

the strongest son in the world causes a new big storm

in the sea of the New World!

On the next episode of One Piece!

"The New w*rlord! The Legendary Whitebeard's Son Appears!"

I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!
