One Piece (ワンピース)

This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era.

A countless array of pirates go to battle across the seas

in search of the One Piece, the legendary treasure

left behind by Gold Roger, King of the Pirates.

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

after eating the Gum-Gum Fruit,

sets sail to become the next King of the Pirates.

As Luffy and his crew conquer numerous obstacles,

they capture the unwanted attention

of the World Government, which will use

any means necessary to stop them.

Now this is exciting!

I can't wait to see what kind of adventure's up next!

With a charted course awash in danger and intrigue.

The crew will cut a path across the Grand Line

to the New World!

In an attempt to rescue his brother Ace,

Luffy enlisted the aid of the Pirate Empress,

Boa Hancock to sneak onto a Navy Vessel on course

to the government prison, Impel Down.

Meanwhile, the other Straw Hat Pirates,

scattered across the globe by Bartholomew Kuma,

faced struggles of their own.

As the time for Ace's public execution draws closer

and closer, tensions rise at Navy Headquarters

and the Warlords of the Sea are called to battle.

Theirs nothing that can stop that anymore, son.

Seems The Navy has made the King of the Sea...

...mad as hell!

A Deadly Infiltration!

The Underwater Prison, Impel Down!

I wanted you and Luffy to grow up and be Marines,

like your granddad.

But hopes be damned, you both turned out to be hoodlums.

Notorious, dangerous ones, at that.

I'm sure you heard about

what your brother's been up to.

Now, I don't expect us to get along perfect,

but challenging the World Government head-on

and wrecking up Enies Lobby is over the line.

I met him at Water 7 after that,

and tried to knock some sense into the boy

with a little tough love.

But that boy didn't listen to a darn word I said.

In fact, he just ran off to Sabaody

and caused an even bigger mess!

But I'm sure proud he sticks to his guns!

Oh, by the way.

I told the little punk about his father.

Wait, what about my dad?

I didn't even think I had a dad.

The name of your father,

is Monkey D. Dragon.

The revolutionary.

'Course, the news took him by surprise.

Can't blame the boy.

"Our fathers?" To hell with them.

And to hell with you if you ever thought we could be Marines.

We've both got the blood of criminals

flowing through our veins

and that was the only gift those bastards ever gave us.

I took the name "Portgas" from my mother

because I owe her so much.

But I don't owe my "father" a damned thing.

I don't even remember the bastard.

Heh. He can keep his name.

I know, I know, but the man tried. He wanted to--

Enough, all right?

Listen to me.

You're worth too much to die

in a place like this.

Don't fight it. Run wild with us.

Our flag, will be yours.

And I will call you my son.

Whitebeard is my only father.

Got it, old man?

Admiral Momonga!

I've spotted a pirate ship!

Do you know who it belongs to?

Huh. Well, the flag does look familiar.

I'll look into it.

Well, if you don't recognize them,

then they can't be anyone important.

Just leave them be. We can't be bothered.

Not right now, at least.

Sir!

That Sea King is huge!

What if it attacks?

He'd eat the whole ship in one bite.

And that'd be the end of us.

Just stay over there.

It's gone.

You know, we came all this way, but now, we--

Wha--?

What are we supposed to do?

What can we do?

C'mon, Alvida, you have a plan, right?

Don't ask me. it's your idea.

You're the geniuses that spent all our money

on an Eternal Pose.

Don't act like I'm the one who dragged you out here.

Well. Of course.

But still, we can't just leave Buggy in Impel Down.

As his crew, we gotta go save him. Poor Captain!

Hmph. Look around you.

We're about to enter the Calm Belt.

That's the same as sailing into a nest of Sea Kings.

You think this ship is ready for that?

Of course, there is one other way for us to get there.

But that's reserved for Navy vessels.

We're a pirate ship.

The Gates of Justice won't be opened for people like us.

You're kidding me!

I thought breaking him out was the hard part.

And now this?

Now we find out we can't even get to the place?

He and his buddy Ace are gonna be killed--

We gotta help somehow!

Oh, Richie!

You miss the Captain too, don't you big guy?

This would never work.

Don't kid yourself. You can't break in or out

of the greatest prison in the whole world.

Better for us to quit while we're still ahead.

Buggy the Clown had a good run,

but I'm afraid his luck as a pirate has run out.

No. I refuse to accept it!

He's a man among men.

The only way Captain Buggy can go out is in a blaze of glory!

Our Captain's not going anywhere.

Especially not the grave--

until he finds Captain John's Treasure Island.

That's final!

And until that day comes, we're sticking with him!

Captain Buggy!

You just let it all out!

Don't be afraid to cry. We all feel the same way!

Richie!

Fine. Have fun.

I'm gonna take the Big Top

and get the hell out of this place.

You guys can use a life raft or something.

What?

How could you?

This is Captain Buggy's ship, not yours!

Well, I don't see Buggy anywhere, do you?

No. I guess not.

I'm not gonna march to death's doorstep.

And as for this ship. I won't let you waste it.

Those conditions aside, if you wanna rescue Buggy

on your own, then I won't stop you.

You can't scare us!

Who cares about Sea Kings or government prisons!

We'll rescue Buggy for sure, right?

Yeah!

But I'll be frank, boys.

You're not going to last 5 minutes in those waters.

Captain! Thank you for everything.

But this is farewell!

Your dream will live on! In our hearts, at least!

Have a peaceful execution!

Maybe it'll be fun!

See you in the next life, Captain!

I feel your grief, Richie!

There's no shame in sadness!

This is Momonga, Marine Code G100660.

We'll be sailing on the current shortly,

so prepare to open the Gate.

The Navy ship Luffy and Hancock

are on is approaching the "Tub Current,"

used exclusively by the Navy to travel between

three of the World Government's central facilities.

Just let me die!

Hey, new guy! You don't get to eat,

until you pay respects to the cell leader--

them's the rules around here.

Hmph.

What, you want me to do a little curtsy

every time I take a bite outta something?

Screw you.

No.

I want you to give your food to the boss,

so I don't have to pound your sorry brains in.
