**[00:07] ---**
A world... Yes!
**[00:11] ---**
A world for you who seek freedom
**[00:14] ---**
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
**[01:04] ---**
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
**[01:56] ---**
I'm sick of this.
**[02:01] ---**
When is this rain going to stop?!
**[02:06] ---**
Hey, Usopp, have you got anything fun?
**[02:10] ---**
Huh? I've got a firework we
could launch, but just one.
**[02:13] ---**
--Wanna do that?
--Yes!
**[02:15] ---**
Don't do it. What if there's a
hostile ship nearby, or something?
**[02:19] ---**
I guess you're right.
**[02:30] ---**
What's that book you've been
reading this whole time?
**[02:36] ---**
Luffy is showing interest in a book?!
**[02:38] ---**
Huh? Something the matter?
**[02:40] ---**
N-No, it's nothing.
**[02:42] ---**
The book is called "Rainbow Mist,"
or "Niji no Kiri."
**[02:46] ---**
It's a novel, based on some
adventures this person had
**[02:49] ---**
in an unusual region of the sea.
**[02:51] ---**
Adventures, huh? That sounds interesting!
**[02:54] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[02:56] ---**
Regardless of how bored he might be...
**[02:58] ---**
The sea sure is a strange place, huh?
**[03:04] ---**
Hey, I saw an island.
**[03:05] ---**
Really?! Yahoo!
**[03:12] ---**
What's with you guys?
**[03:13] ---**
It's nothing.
**[03:18] ---**
"I Will Make it Bloom!
Usopp the Man and the Eight-Foot Shell"
**[03:26] ---**
It stopped...
**[03:30] ---**
Then it's okay, right, Mommy and Daddy?
**[03:49] ---**
Okay, keep close watch on the ship!
**[03:51] ---**
Yeah, you got it!
**[03:55] ---**
Hey! There's a town!
**[03:57] ---**
Hey, wait up, Luffy!
**[04:03] ---**
A town!
**[04:10] ---**
It may be a small town, but it sure is lively.
**[04:15] ---**
We should be able to procure
a few things here, huh?
**[04:19] ---**
Usopp, are you going to do some shopping?
**[04:22] ---**
Good question.
**[04:23] ---**
Hey, guys, get a load of this!
**[04:27] ---**
What is it?
**[04:28] ---**
Don't tell me there are wanted
posters! No, that's not it, huh?
**[04:31] ---**
Oh, a firework festival!
And what's more, it's today!
**[04:35] ---**
--Yeah!
--Fantastic!
**[04:37] ---**
I haven't seen fireworks in a long time!
**[04:39] ---**
Well then, Nami-san, I shall be your escort.
**[04:41] ---**
Uh-uh, no thanks. Mind your own self.
**[04:44] ---**
Fireworks, huh? I can't wait!
**[04:47] ---**
I haven't seen you folks around before.
**[04:51] ---**
Have you come to watch the fireworks?
**[04:53] ---**
No, that isn't why--
**[04:54] ---**
Why, are these fireworks that well-known?
**[04:58] ---**
Yeah. It's a famous festival on this island.
**[05:01] ---**
They've been holding it
for 400 years, after all.
**[05:04] ---**
400 years? That long?
**[05:07] ---**
Look. You see that tower up
on the mountain behind you?
**[05:11] ---**
The people who live in that house
have been making fireworks
**[05:14] ---**
for generations, since 400 years ago.
**[05:16] ---**
It's just an old man and a little girl
that live there right now, though.
**[05:20] ---**
Oh? Then, does the old man
make the fireworks by himself?
**[05:24] ---**
Oh, no! He makes them
together with the girl.
**[05:29] ---**
They bang them out all
year long, just for this day.
**[05:32] ---**
It's really something.
**[05:34] ---**
Why does it take a whole
year to make fireworks?
**[05:37] ---**
You're so dense! You see...
**[05:41] ---**
There's all sorts of reasons. If I
told you, you wouldn't understand.
**[05:44] ---**
--Oh, okay.
--That's it!
**[05:46] ---**
It looked like we were
almost out of gunpowder.
**[05:49] ---**
I wonder if they'd share a little with us.
**[05:51] ---**
--Who knows?
--I'll be back in a bit!
**[05:55] ---**
Then again, I hope that nothing like
what went on last year happens.
**[05:58] ---**
Yeah, really.
**[06:00] ---**
Like what went on last year?
**[06:02] ---**
Yeah. Last year, at the fireworks festival--
**[06:05] ---**
Kadoyan! They came here
to have a good time.
**[06:08] ---**
No need to go out of your
way to tell them about that.
**[06:11] ---**
I suppose not.
**[06:13] ---**
Sorry, it's nothing. Forget about it.
**[06:16] ---**
Oh, yeah! We should tell
Zoro and Robin about this!
**[06:19] ---**
Yeah! Let's go tell Robin-chan!
**[06:22] ---**
Nah, maybe we should eat first.
**[06:24] ---**
How come?!
**[06:32] ---**
This is how a firework
of my making turns out.
**[06:35] ---**
I'll show this to them,
and they'll be so impressed,
**[06:38] ---**
and say, "if you're skilled enough
to make something this wonderful,
**[06:40] ---**
then please, take as much
gunpowder as you like, for free!"
**[06:44] ---**
I wonder if that will happen.
**[06:48] ---**
No!
**[06:51] ---**
Whoa, what a face you've got.
**[06:53] ---**
Are you really the head firework maker?
**[06:56] ---**
You betcha! I'm Boss Odama,
the pyrotechnist.
**[07:00] ---**
In any case, I'm begging you.
You can spare a little, can't you?
**[07:04] ---**
You must have lots of gunpowder, right?
**[07:07] ---**
I don't have any gunpowder
to give to a greenhorn like you.
**[07:11] ---**
Now, be on your way, please. Goodbye.
**[07:14] ---**
J-Just a minute! Please, decide if I'm
a novice or not after looking at this!
**[07:18] ---**
This is a fairly decent--
**[07:21] ---**
"14th generation Odama"
**[07:22] ---**
So round! So huge! So white!
**[07:25] ---**
Who gave you permission to
come across my threshold?!
**[07:28] ---**
Hey, old-timer, is that real?!
That's papier-mâché, right?!
**[07:32] ---**
What would papier-mâché be doing
**[07:33] ---**
lying around a fireworks master's home?
**[07:36] ---**
It's for real. So, "this is a
fairly decent" what, now?
**[07:47] ---**
Oh, nothing, really.
**[07:51] ---**
A three-gauge shell, huh?
It's pasted together a little loose,
**[07:55] ---**
but it's still pretty well put together, huh?
**[07:57] ---**
Why were you hiding it?
It would be a waste not to finish it.
**[08:01] ---**
Huh? Who are you?
**[08:04] ---**
I'm Kodama, the granddaughter
of Grandpa Odama over there.
**[08:07] ---**
Huh? You mean,
**[08:09] ---**
you're the girl that makes fireworks
together with the old man?
**[08:12] ---**
Yep, that's me.
**[08:14] ---**
I won't have you looking down
on me, just because I'm little.
**[08:17] ---**
I'm still pretty skillful, maybe even
as much as Grandpa here.
**[08:22] ---**
Ee-yow...!
**[08:24] ---**
Don't go getting carried away!
**[08:26] ---**
You were supposed to
contact the launch team!
**[08:28] ---**
I did! They're going to be here
shortly to carry the shells away,
**[08:32] ---**
so I thought I would
get them out, you know?
**[08:34] ---**
Before that, you've got
to prepare the mortars,
**[08:37] ---**
and get the wagon ready!
**[08:38] ---**
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
**[08:40] ---**
Okay, fine!
**[08:45] ---**
What's with you?
**[08:48] ---**
Don't just stand there, go give her a hand!
**[08:50] ---**
--Why?
--Just get going!
**[08:57] ---**
What was that all about? He tells me
to go away, then tells me to help!
**[09:01] ---**
I give up. I'm leaving.
**[09:03] ---**
Hey!
**[09:05] ---**
Fixing to slack off? Help me out, here!
**[09:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:11] ---**
You're not here to become an apprentice?
**[09:13] ---**
Of course not. I just came to
get some gunpowder from you.
**[09:18] ---**
You had your own firework,
**[09:19] ---**
so I thought for sure you
wanted to be an apprentice.
**[09:22] ---**
I just made that one for fun.
**[09:24] ---**
I hate to admit it, but I'm
not up to working pro.
**[09:27] ---**
Yeah... but it's true,
that is well put-together.
**[09:31] ---**
You should hurry up and finish it.
**[09:34] ---**
Come to mention it, you said
the same thing before, too, huh?
**[09:37] ---**
What do you mean? I thought
it was already finished.
**[09:42] ---**
Fireworks only become finished
when they blossom beautifully
**[09:46] ---**
in the night sky.
**[09:47] ---**
Which is why all of the fireworks in
the storehouse are unfinished goods.
**[09:53] ---**
These launching mortars, too.
**[09:55] ---**
They're not finished until
they're used as equipment.
**[09:59] ---**
There's something amazing about you.
**[10:01] ---**
It's like I told you. I won't have
you looking down on me.
**[10:06] ---**
So then, that ridiculously huge
firework earlier is the same way?
**[10:10] ---**
It's still unfinished, right? I sure
would like to see that one go off.
**[10:17] ---**
Last year, we tried to
launch one just like that.
**[10:21] ---**
Oh? There was another one like that?
**[10:24] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[10:26] ---**
But it didn't work.
Our equipment was flawed.
**[10:32] ---**
You don't mean...?
**[10:36] ---**
My mommy and my daddy...
**[10:39] ---**
They died, a year ago today...
**[10:46] ---**
...when the launch of the
200-gauge shell went wrong.
**[11:07] ---**
This weather seems kind of weird.
**[11:10] ---**
Do you still hold the firework
festival if it's raining?
**[11:12] ---**
Mm-mm.
**[11:14] ---**
I guess it's no use, Mommy, Daddy...
**[11:27] ---**
At least get things ready.
**[11:31] ---**
What's no use?
**[11:37] ---**
If it clears up tonight, I'm planning
on launching the 200-gauge shell.
**[11:45] ---**
N-No! Fireworks aren't food!
**[11:55] ---**
Don't raise your voice, you dummy.
**[11:57] ---**
S-Sorry.
**[11:59] ---**
But you can't launch something
as huge as that on your own, right?
**[12:04] ---**
That's all right. I asked the launch
team to help me out in secret.
**[12:08] ---**
Even so, it already failed to launch
once, right? It's too dangerous.
**[12:12] ---**
That's okay. I want to do it.
**[12:15] ---**
It's not okay!
**[12:17] ---**
Are you trying to get the launch
team folks caught in it this time?
**[12:20] ---**
No, of course not. They'll just be
setting it up, and then take cover.
**[12:24] ---**
I'll take care of the launching by myself.
**[12:28] ---**
"By yourself," huh?
**[12:31] ---**
No, no, no! I'm telling your grandpa,
and putting a stop to this.
**[12:41] ---**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[12:43] ---**
That's what I was going to say!
**[12:44] ---**
Don't go ruining my
Mommy and Daddy's dream!
**[12:48] ---**
Your Mommy and Daddy's dream?
**[12:50] ---**
That's right.
**[12:52] ---**
Our family has been making
fireworks for generations,
**[12:55] ---**
for over 400 years now.
**[12:57] ---**
--Hey, that's okay...
--Just let me!
**[12:59] ---**
Apparently, we once had the technical skill
**[13:02] ---**
to make and launch 200-gauge shells,
**[13:04] ---**
but at some point,
that tradition was broken.
**[13:09] ---**
It was my Mommy and Daddy's
dream to bring back that skill.
**[13:14] ---**
That's why, tonight,
I'm going to finish their dream.
**[13:20] ---**
I understand how you feel, but...
**[13:23] ---**
Hold on a second. Why would you
just blab something like that to me?
**[13:29] ---**
Do you want to know?
**[13:34] ---**
You want me to keep
your grandpa occupied?!
**[13:36] ---**
Yes. The launch team folks will be
here soon to carry the shell away.
**[13:41] ---**
While they're doing that,
keep Grandpa occupied inside,
**[13:43] ---**
so he doesn't come out here. Please!
**[13:46] ---**
You dumb fool! How can I help you
out with something so dangerous?
**[13:54] ---**
"14th generation Odama"
**[13:55] ---**
Because my Mommy and Daddy's
dream is still only half-finished.
**[13:59] ---**
I'm going to finish it for them.
**[14:16] ---**
Hold on a minute...
**[14:19] ---**
A prayer before launching?
A fine thing to do.
**[14:24] ---**
But that isn't what you'll be launching.
You'll be doing smaller ones.
**[14:29] ---**
The launch team... Why did you tell him?
**[14:33] ---**
Watch what you say. They were
thinking of you when they told me.
**[14:38] ---**
Why?!
**[14:41] ---**
Why?! After all the begging I did?!
**[14:44] ---**
Sorry, Kodama-chan.
**[14:46] ---**
But it's just too reckless.
That thing is sure to misfire.
**[14:50] ---**
You don't know that for sure,
do you?! I'm not afraid of that!
**[14:53] ---**
Stop it, will you?!
**[14:55] ---**
It's not as though they don't know
how those of us left behind feel.
**[15:00] ---**
This isn't what it means
to carry on their wishes.
**[15:05] ---**
Kodama-chan!
**[15:07] ---**
Ah, that's it...
**[15:11] ---**
Okay, well, we'll get things ready.
**[15:13] ---**
Yeah, if you would, please...
**[15:20] ---**
Say, you're getting ready,
even with the rain?
**[15:24] ---**
This rain will let up soon.
The wind is coming in from the east.
**[15:29] ---**
Kodama is the only one
who doesn't realize it.
**[15:32] ---**
Old-timer, has that structure
been there the whole 400 years?
**[15:37] ---**
Yeah. What of it?
**[15:39] ---**
I hit upon a good idea.
**[15:42] ---**
How about hearing me out?
**[15:47] ---**
These are graves? Wow, they're funky.
**[15:53] ---**
Yo.
**[15:56] ---**
Mommy and Daddy, like I said,
if this long spell of rain ends,
**[16:02] ---**
it means that I have your permission,
**[16:04] ---**
and that I can launch the 200-gauge shell.
**[16:09] ---**
So then, does this mean I'm wrong, after all?
**[16:18] ---**
"It doesn't mean you're wrong. Kodama,
**[16:21] ---**
if you launch your own fireworks,
we'd be glad to stop the rain."
**[16:28] ---**
But then, Mommy and Daddy, your dream...
**[16:32] ---**
"Do you think that's all our dream is?"
**[16:37] ---**
"You are our dream. Our dream
is that you will carry on for us,
**[16:42] ---**
and become a fine pyrotechnist."
**[16:46] ---**
"Kodama, take your time, and
make your own 200-gauge shell.
**[16:52] ---**
You have an unlimited
amount of time, after all.
**[16:55] ---**
"Kodama, if you can bring
back the 200-gauge shell,
**[16:58] ---**
that will also make our dream come true.
**[17:03] ---**
"Let Grandpa take care
of our 200-gauge shell;
**[17:06] ---**
you keep on showing us your
beautiful fireworks up in heaven."
**[17:14] ---**
All right! I will!
**[17:16] ---**
And then, someday, I'll make my
own 200-gauge shell, you'll see!
**[17:26] ---**
"Thanks for understanding.
**[17:30] ---**
And now, as promised..."
**[17:42] ---**
How? That's amazing!
**[17:44] ---**
Just who are you?
**[17:47] ---**
Who, me?
**[17:49] ---**
I'm a messenger, sent from heaven,
**[17:52] ---**
Usopp Angel.
**[17:56] ---**
Usopp... Angel...?
**[18:00] ---**
That's so lame!
**[18:04] ---**
Usopp Angel...
**[18:06] ---**
...thank you! I'll try my best, okay?
**[18:28] ---**
How pretty!
**[18:30] ---**
Ready, set...!
**[18:48] ---**
Oh, this is coming off nicely.
**[18:51] ---**
Though I have to admit...
**[18:55] ---**
By using the wheel on the
cart in the yard as a pulley,
**[18:58] ---**
he figured out the trick for dragging
that thing out of the storehouse.
**[19:03] ---**
Who would have thought that the
tower that's been here for 400 years
**[19:07] ---**
was actually the launch
platform for 200-gauge shells...
**[19:12] ---**
Just who is this kid, anyhow?
**[19:20] ---**
"14th generation Odama"
**[19:25] ---**
Here goes the rapid fire!
**[19:50] ---**
This is incredible!
**[19:52] ---**
Yeah, outstanding.
**[19:54] ---**
Is it ready?
**[19:56] ---**
All set!
**[19:57] ---**
--Last one!
--Okay, last one!
**[19:59] ---**
Right!
**[20:13] ---**
Here goes...
**[20:20] ---**
What was that shabby firework just now?
**[20:23] ---**
Huh?
**[20:25] ---**
That's how my first firework turned out, huh?
**[20:27] ---**
Okay, Old Man Odama!
**[21:11] ---**
Mommy and Daddy's firework...
**[21:16] ---**
To be able to make a firework like that,
**[21:19] ---**
Mommy and Daddy really were amazing!
**[21:23] ---**
I wonder if I'll be able to make
a firework like that someday.
**[21:31] ---**
Mommy! Daddy! Thank you!
**[21:41] ---**
Old-timer, can I have some gunpowder?
**[21:44] ---**
You dumb jackass!
**[21:47] ---**
I don't know anything about you.
**[21:51] ---**
Take as much as you want!
**[21:54] ---**
Ah, beyond the never-ending sky
**[22:02] ---**
The future that I once saw
is now starting to take shape
**[22:20] ---**
There are days where I almost lose to myself
**[22:28] ---**
When that happened, there was
someplace warm I could go
**[22:36] ---**
The friends I took pride in
always, without fail,
**[22:42] ---**
pushed me onwards, didn't they?
**[22:53] ---**
Ah, the stars are pouring
down underneath the sky
**[23:02] ---**
This unique moment...
**[23:11] ---**
You're going to catch a cold dressed like that.
**[23:14] ---**
People who catch colds are people
who let their mind's guard down.
**[23:17] ---**
Well, I wonder if someone
somewhere is spreading stories
**[23:19] ---**
about Zoro, the pirate hunter.
**[23:20] ---**
I've never once called myself a pirate hunter.
**[23:24] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:26] ---**
"The Fabled Pirate Hunter!
Zoro, the Wandering Swordsman"
**[23:29] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
**[23:32] ---**
