11x400 - Roger and Rayleigh – the King of the Pirates and His Right Hand Man

[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...

The time is the Great Pirate Era.

Countless pirates fight desperately for the One Piece,

the great treasure left behind by Gold Roger, King of the Pirates.

Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned to rubber

after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,

also takes to the sea to become the next King of the Pirates.

As Luffy and his friends overcome numerous adventures,

the World Government is less and less able to ignore their existence.

This is exciting!

What kind of adventure is waiting for us next?!

The crew, on its way to the New World,

will speed along the Grand Line again today!

After landing on the Sabaody Archipelago,

the Straw Hat crew succeeded in rescuing the kidnapped Camie.

However, a battle began with marines lying in wait.

We're all set to escape!

The group then attempted to break through the navy's siege and escape.

"Roger and Rayleigh -- The King of the Pirates and His Right Hand Man"

Are you alive, Peterman-san?!

How dare they do this to our boss!

Dammit!

Damn them!

Still...

I never expected Duval to have such a handsome face under that mask!

Well, see ya! Feel free to call us again anytime!

We'll be at your beck and call until you can safely set sail for Fish-Man Island!

Okay! Thanks, you guys!

No problem at all!

Just quit winking.

Oh, and one other thing...

Don't forget this, Miss Mermaid!

Oh! My backpack!

That idiot Peterman had it!

Thank you!

Alright! Let's go, Life is Rosy Riders!

Yes, Hand-Rose!

Their shouts sure change a lot.

They're probably trying to find one that clicks.

Now, then. Let us hurry inside.

We need to get Hachi into a bed!

"Shakky's Rip-Off Bar"

Hey, Shakky! I'm back!

Oh, welcome back, Ray-san. That was sooner than I expected.

I'm impressed you guys managed to find him.

Ol' Hachi's been seriously hurt. We need to get him into a bed.

What happened?!

This is bad! I'll get a bed ready right away!

Oh, you said you had something to tell me afterward, old guy...

Eh?!

On the Pirate King's ship?!

Yes. I'm Silvers Rayleigh, the ship's vice-captain.

Nice to meet you.

Vice-captain?!

You didn't tell them, Hatchan?

We only needed his help with the coating, so...

Oh? You didn't realize it?

I know his name so well!

It's in so many books!

It's definitely a name everyone hears at least once...

Gold Roger...

I seem to vaguely recall a rookie named that long ago, but I'm not sure...

How do such a big-shot and an octopus know each other?

Hachi rescued me over years ago, when I was stranded in the sea.

He saved his life. He was still a child at the time, though.

Hachi and I remained close after that, until he joined the Sun Pirates.

You mean Arlong, right?

Still...

Even though Gold Roger was ex*cuted years ago,

you didn't get your head chopped off for being vice-captain?

The navy caught the entire crew, didn't it?

We weren't caught.

Roger turned himself in.

The government might've made it sound like they had caught him

as a way to show its power, though.

The King of the Pirates turned himself in?! Why?!

Because we saw an end to our journey.

About four years before the day of his public execution,

Roger caught a fatal illness.

Not even Roger could avoid the suffering

that this terminal, incurable disease brought.

But, there was one man with the skill to ease his suffering:

a man at the Twin Capes named Crocus,

who was the most respected lighthouse keeper and doctor in the sea.

We asked for his help and brought him on as ship doctor for our final voyage.

Finally, three years later, while managing to escape death,

Roger achieved what was said to be impossible:

he conquered the Grand Line.

C-C-Crocus-san?!

At the Twin Capes?!

Oh, that brings back memories!

Huh?! That old guy wasn't there for years straight?!

He was a member of the Pirate King's crew?!

Come to think of it, he did mention being a ship's doctor for a few years!

So he was a pirate for those three years, then?!

The fact that you've met him must mean he's still doing well!

Crocus agreed to come aboard

because there was a certain group of pirates he wanted to look for.

Brook! It was you guys he set out to find, no doubt about it!

Crocus-san...! You even went to such lengths...!

He was only a crewmember for three years,

but he was unquestionably one of us!

At this age now, it'd be great to see him again...

So, what happened after he conquered the sea?

That's when it all began.

The world started calling Roger "King of the Pirates."

He hadn't been King of the Pirates the entire time before or anything.

Titles hold no meaning for a man about to die.

But Roger was overjoyed.

He loved doing everything in a flashy way...

Whether it was celebrating or fighting...

He even seemed to enjoy thinking out a plan for the future,

even though he wouldn't be a part of it.

Eventually, as per captain's orders, the Roger Pirates were secretly disbanded.

One by one, everyone discretely left.

As comrades, we all risked our lives together,

but I know almost nothing about where they are or what they're doing now.

Then, about a year after we disbanded,

Roger turned himself in and was arrested.

It was then announced that he would be publicly ex*cuted

in Loguetown, the East Blue town he was born in.

I hear that many of the young faces in the town square that day

went on to make names for themselves on the high seas today.

The world focused its attention on the Pirate King's execution.

I didn't attend it.

The final words he said went like this...

I'm not going to die, partner...

The World Government and the navy must've been shocked.

With only one last remark from Roger,

the public execution meant to serve as an example to other pirates

instead became the opening ceremony of the Great Pirate Age!

My treasure?

If you want it, you can have it!

Find it!

I left everything this world has to offer there!

In his last few seconds, he changed the dim flame of his life

into a hellfire that spread across the world!

I've never laughed as much as I did on that night.

Nor have I ever cried as much...

...or drank as much as I did on that night.

Our captain lived one hell of a life!

It's like we just heard something incredible!

It's almost like a different story, hearing it from someone who was there!

Then it's almost as if Roger created this Great Pirate Era on purpose!

That... we still can't say.

Roger is dead.

Only the people living now can create this era.

I'm certain there are people who inherited something from Roger

on that day in the town square.

Your good friend, Shanks, is probably one of them.

Eh? You know Shanks, old guy?

Have you also heard of the East Blue pirate known as Buggy?

Buggy...

The two of them were apprentices on our ship.

Eh?! Shanks was on the Pirate King's ship?!

What? He didn't tell you about that?

I ran into him again on these islands about years ago,

and he'd lost his trademark straw hat, along with his left arm.

When I asked what had happened, he cheerfully spoke about you.

It was a real shock, Rayleigh-san!

There was a kid in East Blue who said the same thing Captain Roger did.

Those same words of our captain!

And I've wanted to meet you-- Monkey D. Luffy-- ever since.

Shanks!

I'm afraid I can't, in good mind, babble on about things Shanks hasn't told you.

In any case, you've done well to come this far!

I'm sure he's eagerly waiting for you in the New World.

Really?! Do you think so?! I can't wait to see him, too!

Now, then. Let's get down to business.

You wanted your ship coated, is that right?

I should get back to my real work, anyway.

That reminds me, coating costs a lot of money...

No, that's all right, Hachi. I can't take money from friends of yours.

That's a relief. Thank you, Rayleigh.

I dunno why, but he's doing it for free!

We appreciate it! You're one generous guy!

It sounds like we just saved a ton of money!

Rayleigh-san.

I have a question!

What exactly is the "Will of D"?

Roger's name was engraved in ancient writing

on Poneglyph I saw on a sky island.

How was he able to use that writing?!

"I made it here. I will guide this text to the ends of the earth."

"Pirate Gol D. Roger"

Do you people know what happened to the world

during the Blank Century that began years ago?!

Yes. We know.

We learned the entirety of history.

But, Miss. You mustn't be hasty.

Continue to move forward one step at a time on your own ship.

We-- and Ohara-- might have hurried a bit too much.

Even if I told you everything about history right here,

you still wouldn't be able to do anything as you are now.

Once you've taken the time to see the world,

it's possible you'll be led to a different answer than we were.

But, if you still insist on hearing it,

I can tell you everything about this world right now.

No, I'll pass. I'll continue my journey.

It will all come into sight someday.

I'm sorry for what happened to your homeland of Ohara.

However, Roger didn't decipher that writing!

We're pirates.

We can't possibly match the intellect of geniuses

like Clover and the scholars of Ohara.

He heard the voice of the universe, that's all.

Whoa, are you sure, Robin?!

Are you sure you didn't just pass up an incredible chance?!

Umm, old guy! There's one more thing I wanna ask!

The legendary great treasure, the One Piece!

Is it really--?!

Usopp!

I don't wanna know where the treasure is!

I don't wanna know if the treasure exists or not!

We've put all our lives on the line and set out to sea,

even though we don't know anything!

I'd rather give up being a pirate than have the old guy tell us stuff now!

I won't go on a boring adventure!

S-S-Sorry! I knew that, but it just slipped out of my mouth...!

I-I don't wanna know, either!

Oh, I forgot! I have the "I'll Die If I Learn About the One Piece" disease!

Hold on, old guy! Don't say anything!

Do you think you can do it?

The Grand Line still far surpasses anything you can imagine!

Your foes will be powerful, too.

Can you rule this mighty sea?!

I'm not gonna rule anything!

It's the freest person in this sea who's the King of the Pirates!

I see...

I really am a fan of yours, Monkey-chan.

Your ship is in Grove # , was it?

I think I'll head over there.

What will you do?

There could be an admiral on these islands as we speak.

We'll only be a nuisance if we stay here,

so maybe we should go shopping somewhere?!

What is this, "Laid-Back Life"?!

We're being chased! We gotta hide, you idiot!

Yeah. The people chasing us might show up if we all stay together.

It'll help him finish the work more smoothly if we lay low in town.

Then let's just split up and then meet back there when he's all done.

Who're you to talk strategically about meeting up and stuff like that?!

Shakky. Do we have any?

Yes, there's one left.

This is a Vivre Card!

Oh, if you know what it is, that simplifies things.

Since I happen to be a bit notorious myself,

I think I'll move it from Grove # to somewhere else before I start on it.

I'll need three days to complete the coating.

It takes three whole days?!

Your life depends on this work. It's the fastest I can go.

I guess it's three days of wilderness survival then!

How frightening!

Sundown in three days, let's say.

I don't know what grove I'll be on then, so wherever the Vivre Cards lead you,

I'll be there finishing the coating and waiting for you.

You should probably also buy whatever you'll need

for your underwater voyage to Fish-Man Island.

Luffy-chin! Everyone! Thank you so much!

Yeah! Thanks so much!

I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble!

I can't thank you guys enough!

We'll show you the way to Fish-Man Island, so don't worry about a thing!

Watch out for the navy for the next three days!

Hachi! Get plenty of bed rest!

Let's meet again in three days. We'll see you off.

See you later, lady!

We're up against an admiral! We gotta make sure none of us gets k*lled!

Don't say unlucky things like that!

Three days, huh...

Alright! Let's go!

To the amusement park!

Hey, now!

A navy warship's been spotted from the harbor!

The admiral's here!

This is Kizaru.

I've arrived.

Please respond.

Is the admiral really coming?

I don't want to meet him!

The one we met before, Aokiji, was crazy strong with that freezing Devil Fruit power!

Oh, dear! I bet the other admirals have powers, too!

I'm scared!

On the next episode of One Piece!

"No Escape!? Admiral Kizaru's Light Speed Kick!!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
