**[00:13] ---**
Inherited will...
**[00:14] ---**
The tide of the times...
People's dreams...
**[00:17] ---**
These things cannot be stopped.
**[00:20] ---**
As long as people
seek the answer of freedom,
**[00:23] ---**
these things will never cease to be!
**[00:35] ---**
I only believe in the future --
I don't care if anyone laughs
**[00:41] ---**
That racing passion makes you shine
**[00:46] ---**
It's too bright,
but I want to gaze at it
**[00:52] ---**
I sense "aesthetics" somewhere
**[00:56] ---**
I'm really really stuck on you
**[00:59] ---**
I follow, follow in the footsteps
of a dream that resembles no one
**[01:05] ---**
Until I dramatically get it
**[01:09] ---**
Believe In Wonderland!
**[01:18] ---**
I'm going to catch, catch the shape
of a dream no one can see
**[01:24] ---**
I'm going to go with you,
so passionate feelings
**[01:30] ---**
I don't really
need everything to add up
**[01:33] ---**
Rather than run-of-the-mill daily life,
**[01:36] ---**
run for paradise instead
**[01:40] ---**
Believe In Wonderland!
**[01:50] ---**
"Rainbase" "Alubarna"
"Yuba" "Erumalu" "Nanohana" "Katorea"
"Spiders Café"
**[01:52] ---**
Three years have passed
since a single drop of rain fell
**[01:56] ---**
in the kingdom of oases.
**[01:57] ---**
Seeing hope beyond turmoil,
the people take up weapons.
**[02:02] ---**
Fanning the flames
of rebellion is Crocodile.
**[02:04] ---**
To stop his scheme,
**[02:05] ---**
Luffy and company stormed
the enemy hideout in Rainbase,
**[02:08] ---**
but they wound up captured instead.
**[02:11] ---**
What is the operation Crocodile speaks of?
**[02:13] ---**
Will Vivi's wish be swallowed
up by the burning land?
**[02:19] ---**
It just turned noon.
The operation is beginning.
**[02:27] ---**
"Operation Utopia Commences!
The Swell of Rebellion Stirs"
**[02:36] ---**
Don't hold suspicion, Koza.
**[02:40] ---**
You know His Majesty's
character very well.
**[02:46] ---**
All you old people say that.
**[02:49] ---**
I didn't follow you here to
Yuba for the king's sake.
**[02:58] ---**
The rebel army is over
100,000 strong now!
**[03:00] ---**
Yeah, I heard.
**[03:03] ---**
Apparently there've been casualties, too...
**[03:12] ---**
It's nothing.
**[03:15] ---**
Just a little rain will clear him
of these strange suspicions. Yes.
**[03:22] ---**
What on earth?!
**[03:24] ---**
--The canal's been destroyed!
--Who would do this?!
**[03:27] ---**
Now we can't bring water to this town!
**[03:33] ---**
It hasn't rained for over a year now!
**[03:37] ---**
Erumalu is done for!
**[03:40] ---**
Don't hold suspicion, Koza...
**[03:49] ---**
I don't want to suspect you,
but people are dying of thirst!
**[03:52] ---**
You may not be using it,
but you do have it!
**[03:55] ---**
No. Wait for natural rain.
Dance Powder summons misfortune.
**[04:02] ---**
Just a little bit should be alright!
**[04:04] ---**
The rebellion might even stop
if there's at least some rain!
**[04:08] ---**
It would only result in a greater calamity.
**[04:10] ---**
It is not as easy to use as you think, Koza.
**[04:15] ---**
I can't stand to watch
towns dry up anymore!
**[04:25] ---**
You haven't changed a bit
since the old days.
**[04:30] ---**
I have changed. I can fight.
**[04:35] ---**
I'm going to...
**[04:39] ---**
I'm going to come here to take your rain!
**[04:50] ---**
Where is this country headed?
**[04:56] ---**
Where are we headed?
**[05:02] ---**
Where does the answer lie?
**[05:10] ---**
I have bad news, Koza!
**[05:13] ---**
"Alubarna Palace"
**[05:13] ---**
T-Terrible news,
Chaka-sama! It's His Majesty!
**[05:17] ---**
What?! What are you saying?!
**[05:20] ---**
He vanished!
**[05:22] ---**
That's absurd!
Have you searched everywhere?!
**[05:25] ---**
Yes! Not only the palace, but the
garden and storehouses as well!
**[05:29] ---**
Could he have left
in the middle of the night?
**[05:32] ---**
Out of the question!
The king's security was top-notch,
**[05:34] ---**
and he couldn't have escaped our eyes!
**[05:36] ---**
Then... Then, why?
**[05:39] ---**
Why would the king hide himself
just before going to battle?!
**[05:43] ---**
Search! Outside the palace and the towns!
**[05:46] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[05:51] ---**
Pell excels in finding people,
but as luck would have it,
**[05:54] ---**
he's busy conducting
reconnaissance in Rainbase...
**[05:58] ---**
What has happened to His Majesty?
**[06:00] ---**
I can't afford to act recklessly...
**[06:04] ---**
Damn it!
**[06:24] ---**
Just what are you planning
to do to Alabasta?!
**[06:29] ---**
Would you like to know the type of
people I look down on most of all?
**[06:34] ---**
Hypocrites who treasure the
so-called "happiness of the people."
**[06:39] ---**
You intend to kill my father?!
As if you could ever do that!
**[06:44] ---**
There's no need to shout.
I have no such intention.
**[06:50] ---**
He's not even worth killing.
**[06:52] ---**
I'm going to let Cobra taste
humiliation far crueler than death.
**[06:59] ---**
Crueler than death?
**[07:04] ---**
That's no way for a princess
of a kingdom to look.
**[07:08] ---**
I'll ask one more time!
Just what is Operation Utopia?! Tell me!
**[07:13] ---**
Now, now. Do you realize where
you stand in this situation?
**[07:16] ---**
Answer the question!
**[07:19] ---**
You're a valiant princess.
**[07:22] ---**
But very well.
The operation has already begun.
**[07:26] ---**
I'll tell you about my plan
to end this country...
**[07:32] ---**
About Operation Utopia...
**[07:34] ---**
Terrible news,
Chaka-sama! It's His Majesty!
**[07:37] ---**
What is it?! Did you find him?!
**[07:39] ---**
Yes, sir! He's apparently in Nanohana!
The information is certain!
**[07:42] ---**
I see! That's a relief!
**[07:44] ---**
But... But, unbelievably enough...
**[07:48] ---**
C-Come again?!
**[07:54] ---**
--Koza!
--Koza-san!
**[07:55] ---**
--Wait!
--We're coming too!
**[07:57] ---**
Why suddenly now?!
**[08:02] ---**
Has he fallen as far as he can?!
**[08:04] ---**
Don't hold suspicion, Koza.
**[08:07] ---**
Why would he do something
this nonsensical?!
**[08:14] ---**
"Nanohana"
**[08:15] ---**
Y-Your Majesty?
**[08:17] ---**
What did you just say?
**[08:19] ---**
Just as you heard.
I am honestly apologizing.
**[08:24] ---**
It was I, Cobra, the king of Alabasta,
who stole this country's rain!
**[08:31] ---**
Cobra-sama...
How can you joke like that?
**[08:34] ---**
Yeah...
**[08:35] ---**
It is no joke.
**[08:37] ---**
I used Dance Powder to keep the rain
in the capital city of Alubarna.
**[08:42] ---**
As li'l ol' king-- no, I mean, as a
respected king, I cannot go thirsty.
**[08:48] ---**
T-That may be so,
**[08:51] ---**
but many have died due to lack
of food and water as a result!
**[08:55] ---**
Why would you allow--?!
**[08:56] ---**
I am aware of that, of course.
And that many oases have dried up.
**[09:01] ---**
But some sacrifices are unavoidable
if we are to protect the country.
**[09:07] ---**
This is crazy!
**[09:08] ---**
You knew how miserable things were,
yet you only helped yourself?!
**[09:11] ---**
That's far too selfish even for you, King!
**[09:17] ---**
Is a mere cretin like you trying
to talk back to me, the king?
**[09:22] ---**
I've come to Nanohana to
apologize for what I've done.
**[09:28] ---**
What more do you want?
**[09:30] ---**
My brother died in Yuba, you know...
**[09:35] ---**
I have come all the way to
this city for one other reason.
**[09:40] ---**
As you know, Dance Powder is
outlawed by the World Government.
**[09:45] ---**
If word of its use is leaked outside,
**[09:47] ---**
Navy Headquarters will take
action and destroy said country.
**[09:51] ---**
This must be avoided.
**[09:53] ---**
However, you may remember that
large amounts of Dance Powder
**[09:58] ---**
were found being smuggled
into this town two years ago.
**[10:01] ---**
It is necessary to eliminate all
traces of that incident. Understand?
**[10:08] ---**
You don't mean...
**[10:09] ---**
That's right! If we are to be rid
of that terrible incident forever,
**[10:14] ---**
we must be rid of this city and all of you!
**[10:18] ---**
--W-What?!
--That's insane!
**[10:20] ---**
We have to die just 'cause you ordered it?!
**[10:23] ---**
Hey! King!
**[10:26] ---**
So it was all your fault!
**[10:28] ---**
It's...
**[10:29] ---**
It's because you steal the rain that
all the towns are drying up, jerk!
**[10:47] ---**
I'm gonna avenge everyone...
**[10:49] ---**
Don't!
**[10:50] ---**
King...
**[10:55] ---**
Men! Burn Nanohana to the ground!
**[10:59] ---**
Yes, Sire!
**[11:04] ---**
--Koza!
--Koza-san!
**[11:14] ---**
Koza. It's been a while.
**[11:17] ---**
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
**[11:36] ---**
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
**[11:40] ---**
--King!
--Stop!
**[11:42] ---**
I came to apologize, as you can see.
**[11:45] ---**
Quit screwing around! Shut up!
**[11:47] ---**
Do you realize what you're saying?!
This is an incredible insult!
**[11:51] ---**
I am the one who's been
using Dance Powder to--
**[11:55] ---**
I said shut up!
**[11:57] ---**
--Why are you so angry?
--Koza...
**[11:59] ---**
--Surely even you can appreciate...
--Sire...
**[12:01] ---**
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
**[12:03] ---**
--...that I...
--You asshole!
**[12:07] ---**
Do you know how the people felt
as they died in the dried-up towns?!
**[12:11] ---**
They didn't have hatred or anger for you!
**[12:14] ---**
"It isn't the king's fault!"
**[12:16] ---**
"He's a great person!"
**[12:17] ---**
Even as they died, they all
said that, with faith in you!
**[12:21] ---**
But what happens to them now,
**[12:25] ---**
unless you at least lie
and say you're innocent?!
**[12:38] ---**
Cobra...
**[12:43] ---**
--Koza-san!
--Leader!
**[12:44] ---**
Koza!
**[12:48] ---**
Well, I guess it's time!
**[12:52] ---**
Didn't we fight because
the kingdom-- no, everyone--
**[13:01] ---**
wanted to know that answer?!
**[13:10] ---**
At the very least...
**[13:15] ---**
...that's why I fought...
**[13:24] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[13:38] ---**
Here they come!
**[13:40] ---**
A giant ship is about to crash! Run!
**[13:48] ---**
What is that ship?!
**[14:03] ---**
Mommy!
**[14:08] ---**
I-It's toppling over!
**[14:17] ---**
For a final operation,
that sure lacked exertion.
**[14:22] ---**
Have we ever had any
exerting work before this?
**[14:29] ---**
We did it! Now light the
fires and let's retreat!
**[14:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:36] ---**
I just can't feel relaxed without this on!
**[14:41] ---**
Koza! Say something! Koza! Hey!
**[14:46] ---**
--The royal army disappeared!
--What?!
**[14:50] ---**
How deux you like my kingliness?!
**[14:54] ---**
That was great, Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!
**[14:59] ---**
Put out the fires!
**[15:01] ---**
The damn royal army lit fires and ran off!
**[15:03] ---**
--Hurry!
--Put out the fires!
**[15:06] ---**
Now to meet up with Mr. 2 outside town.
**[15:11] ---**
Alubarna's the finale.
**[15:14] ---**
I look forward to it.
**[15:18] ---**
Vague! My favorite word is "vague"!
**[15:21] ---**
Now whether or not the king
will stay king is vague!
**[15:25] ---**
The operation's a success!
**[15:26] ---**
Where's Bunchi?!
**[15:28] ---**
He's west of town, Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!
**[15:32] ---**
Huh? The king turned
into a weird ballerina...
**[15:37] ---**
It's no use! It won't go out!
**[15:39] ---**
Damn the king!
**[15:42] ---**
He was a fake!
**[15:45] ---**
This is bad! Everyone's being tricked!
**[15:47] ---**
I have to tell 'em!
**[15:50] ---**
What a naughty little boy.
What do you think he's discovered?
**[15:55] ---**
That damn imbecile
made a careless slip-up.
**[15:59] ---**
Who're you?!
**[16:01] ---**
I take it there's no use in
asking you to stay quiet.
**[16:05] ---**
Water! We need more water!
**[16:06] ---**
Wait! That's for my shop!
Can you pay for it?!
**[16:09] ---**
Not now, you idiot! The town is on fire!
**[16:12] ---**
--Put out the fires!
--Water!
**[16:14] ---**
It's no use! We can't
keep up with the fire!
**[16:17] ---**
We should probably run for it!
**[16:19] ---**
Hang in there, Koza!
You're not the type to die like this!
**[16:30] ---**
Hey! Take Koza!
**[16:32] ---**
Little boy! Say something!
**[16:34] ---**
This is terrible! Not even children are safe!
**[16:38] ---**
I-It's not...
**[16:40] ---**
What's that?! I'll stop
the bleeding! Don't talk!
**[16:43] ---**
It's not what you think!
Everyone's being tricked!
**[16:46] ---**
Hang in there, little boy!
**[16:49] ---**
Koza!
**[16:52] ---**
Let's... end this country.
**[16:58] ---**
Contact all of our branches!
This will be our final battle!
**[17:05] ---**
O-Okay, but we don't
have nearly enough weapons!
**[17:09] ---**
No, we do now.
**[17:11] ---**
Know that ship that just crashed?
It was an armory ship.
**[17:17] ---**
--Seriously?!
--Yeah! It was full of weapons!
**[17:20] ---**
It's almost like divine guidance.
**[17:27] ---**
Oh, really? A little pipsqueak
saw me? So sorry! So, so sorry!
**[17:32] ---**
Sheesh. Now Mr. 4's team
just needs to do its thing...
**[17:37] ---**
Fatty and Old Hag know
how to get things done!
**[17:40] ---**
Kidnapping the king
will be nothing to them!
**[17:46] ---**
Hear me, rebel army!
**[17:48] ---**
The Alabasta of old is long dead!
**[17:51] ---**
This is the final battle!
We're going to capture Alubarna!
**[17:56] ---**
We're going to launch an all-out assault!
**[18:01] ---**
The king must pay!
**[18:02] ---**
We'll build a new country!
**[18:08] ---**
"Meanwhile, at Alubarna Palace"
**[18:08] ---**
Nonsense!
**[18:10] ---**
Cobra-sama would never do
such a thing! It must be a mistake!
**[18:14] ---**
But the time between his disappearance
and his arrival fit perfectly!
**[18:18] ---**
Excuses no longer hold any water!
**[18:22] ---**
News of the Nanohana incident
have spread throughout Alabasta,
**[18:25] ---**
and rebel soldiers
everywhere have responded!
**[18:27] ---**
Not only that, the citizens
who had faith in His Majesty
**[18:30] ---**
have begun taking up weapons
out of hatred for him!
**[18:32] ---**
Their numbers are unknown!
**[18:34] ---**
The entire country is infuriated
and heading for Alubarna!
**[18:37] ---**
There's no stopping things now!
**[18:45] ---**
Please, make your decision!
We will obey you!
**[18:53] ---**
How can this be?!
**[18:54] ---**
Even the king's words from
yesterday are blurred now!
**[18:58] ---**
In what do I put my trust?!
**[19:03] ---**
Very well! We need only
fulfill our given duties!
**[19:07] ---**
We are the royal guards
of the Alabasta Kingdom!
**[19:10] ---**
No kingdom should crumble
in the absence of its king!
**[19:15] ---**
Protect the truth you see before you!
Protect this kingdom!
**[19:19] ---**
Counter the rebel army!
**[19:25] ---**
"Rainbase"
**[19:33] ---**
What a horrifying plan...
**[19:38] ---**
Well? Do you like it?
**[19:41] ---**
The operation you once
participated in has now blossomed.
**[19:46] ---**
If you listen closely, you could
probably hear the howls of Alabasta.
**[19:51] ---**
And they all think the same thing.
**[19:54] ---**
"Protect Alabasta."
**[19:57] ---**
"Protect Alabasta. Protect Alabasta."
**[20:02] ---**
Stop it!
**[20:04] ---**
How can you be so cruel?!
**[20:08] ---**
Isn't it just heartrending?
**[20:10] ---**
Love for the kingdom will be
what destroys the kingdom.
**[20:34] ---**
Is he stupid? Did he not hear what I said?
**[20:39] ---**
He's definitely stupid.
But that's also why he's our captain.
**[20:45] ---**
Crocodile! I will kick your ass...
**[20:54] ---**
So many moves I've made
to make it this far...
**[20:59] ---**
The sabotage to instigate the citizens.
**[21:01] ---**
Directing the royal army's misconduct.
**[21:04] ---**
Have you any idea why I'd go to
such lengths to attain this country?
**[21:10] ---**
As if I'd understand anything
inside your rotten head!
**[21:13] ---**
You really are a bad-mouthed princess.
**[21:21] ---**
Vivi!
**[21:22] ---**
Now, now. What are you
trying to do, Miss Wednesday?
**[21:26] ---**
Stop you!
**[21:28] ---**
I'm going to stop you! There's still time!
**[21:31] ---**
If I can just get to Alubarna east of here...
**[21:34] ---**
If I can get there before the rebel army,
I may be able to stop them!
**[21:43] ---**
I absolutely refuse to let you have your way!
**[21:49] ---**
Vivi!
**[22:05] ---**
I always wanted to talk about it
**[22:09] ---**
I couldn't even say half of it
**[22:16] ---**
I'm by your side, I glitter
every time we share a dream
**[22:27] ---**
The smile you gently gave me
was a very happy and kind one
**[22:40] ---**
Glory glory you're my shine
**[22:43] ---**
Because you're here, even
these tears turn to courage
**[22:51] ---**
I want to be strong,
I want to share with you
**[22:57] ---**
I'm sure I'll make it there
**[23:10] ---**
What is that insanely huge alligator?!
**[23:12] ---**
Wow! There's an alligator
growing from that banana!
**[23:16] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[23:16] ---**
The alligator swallowed the key to our cell!
**[23:19] ---**
What?! What a troublesome gator!
**[23:20] ---**
What is that eyebrow freak
doing at a time like this?!
**[23:23] ---**
Hang in there a little longer,
everyone! I will bring back help!
**[23:26] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:28] ---**
"The Terrifying Bananagators and Mr. Prince"
**[23:30] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
**[23:33] ---**
