12x415 - Hancock's Confession – The Sisters' Abhorrent Past

[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!

Luffy was ejected from the Sabaody Archipelago

by Bartholomew Kuma, a Warlord of the Sea.

Separated from his friends,

he arrived alone at the female-only empire of Amazon Lily!

Captured by the Pirate Empress Hancock,

Luffy battled in mortal combat with her younger sisters,

Sandersonia and Marigold who had eaten the Snake-Snake Fruit.

How rude!

Mari! Get him now!

I can't, Sister Sonia.

We are now... being protected...

...by that man!

You said that you'd rather die than show it to someone.

"Hancock's Confession The Sister's Abhorrent Past"

Is it okay, now?

Sister Sonia!

We're sorry, Big Sis!

We're sorry that we lost and had to be saved by our enemy.

Are you up next?

That's enough.

I don't feel like it.

Oh, yeah?

I hope that she's not damaged.

Alright then,

these people you turned to stone; turn them back.

What did you say?

You can do something, right?

They were just trying to defend me!

They didn't do anything wrong!

Hey, please?!

Yes, indeed,

I can revert them if I want.

But...

You said that you want to go someplace by ship.

Yes, my crew's waiting for me.

Oh, that's nice.

But I can only make one of your wishes come true.

It's either revert them

or help you to get off this island.

Choose one wish and give up on the other!

Snake Princess. You are so...

You can't fool me.

Reveal your true nature, Man.

That's great! Thank you!

That means you're going to help them, right?

Thank you... very much!!

He doesn't hesitate at all.

How is it that a man who has such great Haki

bows his head in order to save his benefactors...

Maybe, he is...

Big Sis...

Anyway, that man...

I can't believe he defeated the sisters.

Yes, but...

I don't think Snake Princess will forgive him

after he was so rude to her

nor will she forgive the people who let him in to this country.

Margaret!

Sweetpea!

Aphelandra!

Oh, here you all are!

Great! She turned you back from stone!

I was so worried because you suddenly started to vouch for him.

She's right.

I was afraid of what would happen to you.

Turned us back?

What happened to us?

I have absolutely no recollection.

Don't you remember?

No I don't...

The next thing I knew, that man was there and he was really happy.

Oh, I'm so relieved!

I was worried that you were going to die.

No one's here...

Is it all finished now?

Thank you!

Snake Princess!

Um...

Keep dedicating yourself to your duty to protect our country.

...And that was it.

Great!

When you're turned to stone,

it's hard to remember what happened before and after.

I'll tell you what happened.

Margaret.

What happened to the man?

What about Snake Princess?

Did she turn him to stone this time?

I don't know that much,

but it seems like he got summoned to the Kuja Castle.

What?!

Hey, I want to know! What do you want from me?

Oh!

Is there a meal after the battle?

If that's what it is, I'll be happy!

What kind of food is popular here?

I bet it's some kind of meat!

I should be thanking you.

Thank you.

No, please!

"Thank you" isn't something I can eat!

If anybody had seen what's on our backs,

there is no way that we could stay in this country.

You may come in.

Come inside, Man.

Inside?

Inside of the curtain.

Oh, is that where the food is?

I'm coming...

Oh, we're not eating.

Hey, what are you doing with your clothes off?

As always, you are reacting rudely.

But that's okay.

This is the mark...

...that you said...

...you had seen somewhere.

Take a good look at it, again.

Where did you see this?

Do you know the meaning of this mark?

Answer me, now!

It's not something I want to show people.

As I suspected, it's a bit different from what I've seen before.

I have a friend called Hachi who is a fish-man...

A fish-man?

Yeah.

And he has a similar mark on his forehead

so I thought it was the same.

I don't know anything about your mark.

If he doesn't know, why don't you tell him?

Granny Nyon!

Where did you come in from?

Be honest, Snake Princess.

You have seen clearly how tolerant that man is.

Don't be afraid.

Tell him everything that you want to share.

You!

You are a pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, am I right?

Yes, I am.

How do you know about me?

How can you be so casual

after you caused such a sensation in the world?

Look at this newspaper! Just days ago, this man...

...at Sabaody Archipelago near the center sea,

caused a horrific and grave incident

when he dealt a blow to a Celestial Dragon!

Dealt a blow to a Celestial Dragon?

It is a miracle that he was able to get away

from the supreme powers at the center sea after that.

And in only a couple days,

he arrived here so far away.

It's all beyond our understanding.

W-Who are you?!

I told you!

I was blown away suddenly.

I have no idea where this place is!

Oh, and another thing -

I don't feel sorry for that Celestial Dragon.

That b*stard!

Guess what he did to my friend?

T-Then...

it is true that you punched a Celestial Dragon.

T-There are still...

...foolish people like that...

...in this world?!

The ones who put their lives at risk to challenge those celestials...

...like him!

Who are you talking about?

I will tell you everything

including the meaning of the symbol

that your fish-man friend has on his forehead.

Hachi's mark?

This is...

"The Claw of the Celestial Dragon."

It's an emblem of the Celestial Dragons!

People who were fed by the World Nobles all get...

...this permanent brand to show that you are subhuman!

Celestial Dragons?

The three of us were...

...once...

...sl*ves of World Nobles!

You were... sl*ves?!

It happened when I was ...

Starboard, all clear.

Port, all clear, too.

Bow, all clear.

High visibility, all serene!

Don't fall into the sea!

Don't make fun of me!

I've become a warrior!

Okay, okay.

We trust you!

That's our Big Sis!

We'll support you!

I bet you're hungry! I brought a snack!

Hancock?

Sonia! Mari! Where are you?

Three of us were taken from the Kuja pirate ship...

...and we were sold!

From that point,

all we have are terrible memories that we don't even want to remember.

We saw men for the first time

and they were nothing but figures of horror.

Sister Sonia, calm down!

The memory haunts us.

W-Wow! H-Hey! That's enough!

No need to force the memories! You don't have to tell me!

It was awful.

There was no hope.

We kept thinking about death!

Hey! You...

But...

...one night four years later,

something happened that made the World Government tremble.

"Nobody will challenge the Celestial Dragons."

That was the cardinal rule in their world.

But there was a man who climbed the Red Line with his bare hands

and slipped into the Celestial Dragons' Holyland of Marejois.

He was an adventurer who later led the Fish-Man Pirates,

named Fisher Tiger.

In order to free all the sl*ves

from the town there his fellow fish-men were being tortured,

he fought with all his might.

We are free! We are free!

He disliked humans as a species

but he was being fair to all sl*ves,

and let thousands of sl*ves of different species go free.

We prepared to die and ran among the others.

We owe him an immeasurable debt.

Tiger released many fish-men to the sea,

but ones who were sl*ves had a mark that cannot be erased.

Tiger has made the World Government his enemy

and he formed the Sun Pirates with former sl*ves

and sailed out into the open sea.

As though breaking a curse,

he changed the Celestial Dragon's emblem on everyone's bodies...

...into the symbol of the sun.

What you thought was similar to the mark on my back is

the sun symbol of the Sun Pirates.

Yeah, you're right.

The one Hachi has on his forehead looks like the sun.

Does that mean he was a sl*ve, too?

It doesn't necessarily mean that he was.

The mark is made in such a way that it is impossible to tell...

...whether they are former sl*ves or not.

I'm pretty sure that he once was a member of the Sun Pirates.

In fact, Fisher Tiger is already dead and...

...the Sun Pirates have split up into several groups.

Hey, when did you get hurt there?

Oh, this? Don't worry about it.

He has a complicated past, too...

So this is the reason that the mark on our backs

is similar to the fish-men's mark.

Okay, I pretty much understand.

Surprisingly, when we were sl*ves,

we were forced to eat Love-Love Fruit

and Snake-Snake Fruit for their entertainment,

and that enabled us to deceive our nation

and preserve the secret.

If you didn't cover up Sonia's back at that moment,

it would have been impossible for us to stay on this island.

I don't want to let anyone know about our past!

I won't stop at deceiving our whole nation to hide it!

We won't open ourselves up at any price!

We don't want anybody to take advantage of us again!

I'm scared of being caught off guard.

It terrifies me. I can't take it!

Big Sis...

h*!

But this is the first time in a long time

that you've shown your emotions like that.

Recently, I've thought that the Snake Princess

must have turned to ice or something.

Shut up!

You are a traitor who left the country behind!

You shut up!

You three were miserable

and didn't know how to return to this island...

...after you ran away from the Celestial Dragons!

Who brought you back?!

You should be thankful that I was living outside of this country!

What you are talking about was a small favor.

What did you say?!

Granny Nyon...

I always keep an eye on you three as a mother would!

And you call it "small favor", Snake Princess?

Hey, get your hands off of me! Mari! Sonia!

Are you going to...

...look down on me; a former sl*ve?

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Like I told you - I hate the Celestial Dragons!

I like you!

Didn't you say that you had one more wish?

All right!

Where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride!

For real?!

The Kuja Pirates hold a banquet.

When Luffy is mobbed by curious women,

Margaret saves him and takes him to Granny Nyon's house.

But there, Luffy finds out that his brother Ace is in trouble,

and he's forced to make a big decision.

On the next episode of One Piece!

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

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
