**[00:07] ---**
A world... Yes!
**[00:11] ---**
A world for you who seek freedom
**[00:13] ---**
stretches out right before your eyes.
**[00:17] ---**
If your endless dreams are your guide,
**[00:21] ---**
surpass them, under the flag of your beliefs!
**[00:30] ---**
Making a splash,
I've just started on my search
**[00:35] ---**
Heading towards a world without end
**[00:40] ---**
My heart bursting with enthusiasm,
I'll go to the ends of the earth
**[00:45] ---**
In search of light yet unseen
**[00:53] ---**
When the summer sun
sways the sails of my heart
**[01:03] ---**
It's the cue to open the door to a new world
**[01:13] ---**
Sailing through the rocky waves of despair
**[01:18] ---**
We head beyond the horizon
**[01:26] ---**
Making a splash,
I've just started on my search
**[01:31] ---**
Heading towards a world without end
**[01:36] ---**
My heart bursting with enthusiasm,
I'll go to the ends of the earth
**[01:41] ---**
In search of light yet unseen
**[01:50] ---**
"North Block"
"West Block" "South Block" "East Block"
**[01:52] ---**
The feelings of those who are in anguish
**[01:54] ---**
are crushed by a dry cloud of sand.
**[01:57] ---**
There are those who seek hope,
and those who cling to hope.
**[02:01] ---**
Their feelings cross each other,
uncertain what to do,
**[02:03] ---**
marking an era of history ending in sadness.
**[02:09] ---**
Vivi and her friends continue to fight in
order to save Alabasta from its crisis...
**[02:14] ---**
In addition to Usopp and Chopper's victory...
**[02:19] ---**
...Sanji crushed Mr. 2 Bon Clay.
**[02:35] ---**
Meanwhile, Nami was engaged in
mortal combat with Miss Doublefinger,
**[02:39] ---**
who has Spike Spike Fruit powers.
**[02:41] ---**
Take this!
**[02:43] ---**
Tornado Tempo!
**[03:01] ---**
--What?
--The doves tangled up on me...!
**[03:26] ---**
As a result, Usopp's invention,
the Clima Takt, led Nami to win the battle.
**[03:32] ---**
The only battle left was the one
between Mr. 1 and Zoro.
**[03:40] ---**
So basically, your body is hard as steel.
**[03:43] ---**
Unless I'm capable of cutting
even steel, I can't cut you down, huh?
**[03:47] ---**
That would be correct.
**[03:50] ---**
Smashing and cutting
attacks don't work on me.
**[03:53] ---**
I see. This bites.
**[03:56] ---**
Since I'm not yet capable of
cutting steel, I can't defeat you now.
**[04:00] ---**
Humph... Then what're you going to do?
**[04:02] ---**
Well, I'll sympathize with you.
**[04:05] ---**
What?
**[04:07] ---**
I've been waiting for a
difficult situation like this.
**[04:10] ---**
I've been thinking that it's about
time for me to go to the next level.
**[04:15] ---**
When I defeat you,
**[04:17] ---**
I'll be a man who can even cut steel.
**[04:26] ---**
"Secret of Powerful Swordplay! Ability to
Cut Steel and the Rhythm Things Have"
**[04:33] ---**
Humph... When you defeat me... huh?
**[04:37] ---**
This might throw cold water
on that enthusiasm of yours,
**[04:40] ---**
but ever since I gained Dice Dice powers,
**[04:44] ---**
I've never been given even a scratch by
those who call themselves swordsmen.
**[04:49] ---**
No swordsman can defeat me.
**[04:53] ---**
Ahh... I get the picture...
**[04:55] ---**
...but you can store all those
old tales away in an album.
**[04:59] ---**
I don't know how many swordsmen
you've fought in the past,
**[05:04] ---**
but we've never met before, so...
**[05:11] ---**
It seems that at least your tongue is sharp.
**[05:15] ---**
Thanks, baldy.
**[05:22] ---**
We'll see how long you'll last.
**[05:24] ---**
No, how long you'll last.
**[06:08] ---**
Oni...
**[06:11] ---**
...Giri!
**[06:17] ---**
Tiger... Trap!
**[06:52] ---**
I told you, didn't I...?
**[06:57] ---**
It's a little shocking that you
didn't even get a single bruise...
**[07:02] ---**
This is also the first time
my opponent is still standing
**[07:05] ---**
when I thought my attacks were solid.
**[07:08] ---**
Of course...
**[07:10] ---**
...since we've never met before...
**[07:23] ---**
That's right!
**[07:25] ---**
This guy's entire body is a blade.
**[07:28] ---**
So his blades don't have a front or back!
**[07:35] ---**
Sparkling Daisy!
**[07:44] ---**
Th-This is...
**[07:49] ---**
I'll blow you away.
**[08:31] ---**
When it comes to training,
I've done it more than anyone else.
**[08:37] ---**
I've also been in many difficult
situations that had me on the brink.
**[08:44] ---**
When I defeat you, I'll be a
man who can even cut steel.
**[08:51] ---**
I've never been given
even a scratch by anyone.
**[08:57] ---**
What is it that I lack...?!
**[09:02] ---**
Teacher...! Teacher!
**[09:06] ---**
Hm?
**[09:08] ---**
Is it true that there're men in this world
who can cut anything, even steel?
**[09:16] ---**
Yes, it's true.
**[09:20] ---**
Now, watch this paper carefully, Zoro.
**[09:30] ---**
Teacher, you didn't cut it.
**[09:32] ---**
Listen, Zoro.
**[09:34] ---**
There're swordsmen out there
who are capable of cutting nothing.
**[09:42] ---**
But they can also cut anything,
even steel... using the same sword...
**[09:49] ---**
The strongest swordsmen are able to
protect that which they want to protect
**[09:53] ---**
and cut that which they want to cut.
**[09:56] ---**
Swordplay that harms whatever it touches...
**[10:01] ---**
I don't consider it real swordsmanship.
**[10:03] ---**
Do you understand?
**[10:27] ---**
Teacher, I'll be a swordsman
who can cut anything!
**[10:32] ---**
Zoro, were you listening
to what I was saying?
**[10:47] ---**
Humph... Hurry up and try cutting me.
**[10:52] ---**
You can't cut my body down
if you just defend.
**[10:56] ---**
Unfortunately, I don't think I can show
you my valiant figure cutting steel...
**[11:07] ---**
...because when I cut steel,
that's when you die.
**[11:14] ---**
Makes sense...
**[11:24] ---**
I'll cut... everything up into pieces!
**[11:30] ---**
"Swordplay that cuts nothing"... huh?
**[11:54] ---**
How pointless...
**[11:57] ---**
I'll cut everything up into pieces!
**[12:02] ---**
Swordplay that cuts nothing...
**[12:05] ---**
Cut nothing... but cut steel... I don't
understand what it means at all!
**[12:12] ---**
Thrust and Thrust... This is the
secret of powerful swordplay!
**[12:17] ---**
Atomic Spar!
**[12:21] ---**
I'll just cut you up!
**[12:52] ---**
Crab... Grab!
**[13:16] ---**
What an odious bastard...
**[13:19] ---**
The feeling is mutual.
**[13:22] ---**
Let me tell you one thing.
Don't consider me a swordsman.
**[13:27] ---**
I have many weapons
that can tear your body up.
**[13:37] ---**
Spiral Hollow!
**[13:43] ---**
If you're not a swordsman...
then an excavator?!
**[13:47] ---**
I'm an assassin!
**[13:53] ---**
Sparks?! Just how fast is it spinning?!
**[13:59] ---**
They'll be repelled!
**[14:03] ---**
I can't do excavation... because
I'll drill and cut everything up.
**[14:10] ---**
Crap!
**[14:26] ---**
What a momentary misjudgment invites is...
**[14:31] ---**
...death!
**[15:03] ---**
You're still breathing...
**[15:10] ---**
I won't show my back to him...
**[15:15] ---**
How're you gonna struggle
with your bare hands?
**[15:23] ---**
You're not even a swordsman.
You won't understand even if I explain.
**[15:29] ---**
Humph... I'm not even interested.
**[15:36] ---**
Spar... Break!
**[15:56] ---**
Die in peace...
**[16:01] ---**
I have... bad luck with stones today...
**[16:37] ---**
You guys! Make sure you
deliver Vivi back to her home!
**[16:42] ---**
See you at the Alubarna Palace!
**[16:48] ---**
Are they... all okay...?
**[17:08] ---**
Why is he standing...?
After being cut so many times...
**[17:12] ---**
Did he dodge all those falling stones?
**[17:21] ---**
I dodged... these stones?
**[17:25] ---**
No...
**[17:27] ---**
I could tell... the place where
no stones would be falling...
**[17:36] ---**
Swords...
**[17:38] ---**
There's one underneath
that stone... I can tell...
**[17:45] ---**
What's he doing...?
**[17:56] ---**
I've experienced this feeling before...
**[18:03] ---**
It's awfully quiet around me...
**[18:06] ---**
I can hear my heartbeat very clearly...
**[18:13] ---**
Is this... precisely what it feels
like when close to death...?
**[18:19] ---**
I sensed a hint from the falling
stones as if they're living things...
**[18:27] ---**
No, it wasn't a hint...
It was clearer than that...
**[18:31] ---**
Rhythm...
**[18:34] ---**
Stones'... rhythm...
**[18:37] ---**
Trees have their own rhythm...
**[18:40] ---**
Soil has its own... Is that what it is...?
**[18:46] ---**
Listen. There're swordsmen out there
who are capable of cutting nothing.
**[18:55] ---**
Does "cutting nothing" mean...
know the rhythm...?
**[19:01] ---**
That's... the ability to cut even steel...
**[19:07] ---**
You... what the hell did you do?
**[19:10] ---**
After receiving such an enormous attack...
**[19:12] ---**
When you're bleeding that much...
**[19:15] ---**
There's no way you can be still alive...!
**[19:25] ---**
I can hear... the rhythm of his steel...
**[19:31] ---**
My will is flowing into the sword...
**[19:50] ---**
Fine... I'll completely finish
him off with the next attack.
**[19:57] ---**
The only question left is...
**[19:59] ---**
...whether or not I really
have the ability to cut steel...
**[20:06] ---**
It's hard to think that you can defend
my attack using only one sword...
**[20:13] ---**
That's all right. I won't defend any more.
**[20:17] ---**
So you're now prepared. Fine by me!
**[20:23] ---**
One-Sword Style... Lion Strike!
**[20:28] ---**
Atomic Spurt!
**[20:53] ---**
I give you my thanks...
**[20:56] ---**
I can become stronger still!
**[21:03] ---**
He's indeed... become stronger...
during this fight...
**[21:14] ---**
Are you... going to cut
diamond or something next...?
**[21:23] ---**
That would be a waste...
**[21:27] ---**
You win...
**[21:40] ---**
"Alubarna - North Block"
**[21:43] ---**
"Alubarna - North Block"
"Battle in front of the Mehdi Assembly Hall"
**[21:46] ---**
"Alubarna - North Block"
"Battle in front of the Mehdi Assembly Hall"
"Winner: Zoro"
**[22:05] ---**
Which direction should I run towards
to see a more wonderful tomorrow?
**[22:11] ---**
I took the helm and opened the
miraculous map that I stored in my heart
**[22:17] ---**
I aimed for the sky and sought out
my dreams, though at times I got lost
**[22:23] ---**
It wasn't a dream; when I met you,
I discovered the wonderful person in me
**[22:29] ---**
With just a bit of courage,
I gained something grand
**[22:35] ---**
Now's the time for my "wish"
to become my "pledge"
**[22:41] ---**
Shining ray! Find your brand new way
**[22:44] ---**
Let's sketch out the tale of the future
**[22:48] ---**
I'll put all my feelings
in a brand new wind now
**[22:53] ---**
Shining ray! Find your brand new way
**[22:56] ---**
A never-ending journey to be together
**[22:59] ---**
I'll chase after you
wherever you go, Shining ray
**[23:10] ---**
Why're you crying?
**[23:11] ---**
Because that mole hag
said that Luffy's dead...
**[23:14] ---**
Is that true?!
**[23:15] ---**
You guys believe that?
**[23:17] ---**
Of course not!
**[23:18] ---**
Then stow your snot away.
**[23:21] ---**
There's no reason for you to fight any longer!
**[23:23] ---**
Surrender right now...! Royal Army!
**[23:26] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:27] ---**
"The Battle is Over!
Koza Raises the White Flag"
**[23:31] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
