[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
[01:58] ---
    Take those two and beat it already
[02:01] ---
    while you're still alive, you small fries!
[02:08] ---
    The sky island exists.
[02:12] ---
    Zoro!
[02:14] ---
    Luffy!
[02:18] ---
    The new era they're talking about is crap!
[02:23] ---
    The era where pirates have dreams
    will be over, they say?! Huh?!
[02:32] ---
    People's dreams... have no end!!
[02:43] ---
    "Legendary Family! 'Noland the Liar'"
[02:49] ---
    Seriously... Seriously... Seriously...
[02:52] ---
    Seriously... that darn orangutan!
    He wrecked the ship even more!
[02:59] ---
    This ship has really started to fall apart.
    Maybe it's about time to replace it?
[03:03] ---
    Don't you dare start saying
    inconsiderate things, too!
[03:05] ---
    Don't you dare!
[03:07] ---
    You know exactly how we got this ship, right?!
[03:11] ---
    Right?!
[03:13] ---
    I know, Usopp.
    Complaining won't get us anywhere.
[03:16] ---
    --Going Merry is an important part of the team.
    --You know exactly...!
[03:19] ---
    --You...! You...!
    --So let's work hard and repair the ship!
[03:22] ---
    --How we... How... How... How we...!
    --Luffy... You're such a...
[03:27] ---
    Whoops.
[03:29] ---
    You idiot!! Are you repairing
    the ship or wrecking it?!
[03:33] ---
    Well, I'm really trying to fix it, but...
[03:35] ---
    Whoops, it got broke again.
[03:37] ---
    Luffy!!
[03:40] ---
    We left Mock Town and headed east
    by circling around the island.
[03:44] ---
    We're almost here on the map.
[03:46] ---
    That man... what's his name again?
[03:48] ---
    Montblanc Cricket.
[03:51] ---
    So that man who talks of
    dreams lives there, huh?
[03:54] ---
    A-Amazing!!
[03:57] ---
    That's his house?! That's a palace!
[04:01] ---
    Is this Montblanc Cricket guy mega-rich?!
[04:06] ---
    Idiots! Look closely.
[04:07] ---
    A dreamer, huh? He does seem to be vain.
[04:14] ---
    Why?
[04:18] ---
    What the...?! It's just a board?!
[04:21] ---
    What?!
[04:23] ---
    The actual house is only half of it.
    The rest is just a veneer.
[04:26] ---
    He seems like a very cheap guy.
[04:29] ---
    What kind of dreams did he talk about
    that would get him driven out?
[04:32] ---
    I don't know the details,
[04:35] ---
    but I heard that he said a huge
    amount of gold rests in Jaya.
[04:39] ---
    Gold?!
[04:40] ---
    Is that some pirate's buried
    treasure or something?
[04:43] ---
    Well, I don't know.
[04:45] ---
    Gold!!
[04:48] ---
    Dig the ground, Chopper! Gold will appear!
[04:50] ---
    It will if I dig?
[04:52] ---
    Living alone in such a remote area?
[04:54] ---
    Hello. I'm coming in.
[04:56] ---
    Couldn't you wait a moment?!
[04:58] ---
    Hm? No one's here. Hello!!
[05:02] ---
    No answer...
[05:03] ---
    You idiot, wait! What're you
    gonna do if this guy's dangerous?
[05:06] ---
    Hey, everyone! No one's home!
[05:10] ---
    Hm? This is...
[05:13] ---
    ...a picture book.
[05:15] ---
    This is quite an old book.
[05:17] ---
    Hm? It's titled "Noland the Liar."
[05:20] ---
    Wow, that's a cool title! Nice idea for a book!
[05:24] ---
    "Noland the Liar"?
[05:26] ---
    You know it, Sanji-kun? But it says
    it was published in the North Blue.
[05:31] ---
    Yeah. I was born in the North Blue.
[05:34] ---
    Haven't I told you guys?
[05:36] ---
    That's news. I thought you
    were from the East, too.
[05:39] ---
    --I grew up there.
    --Quiet, Chopper! What're you doing?!
[05:42] ---
    What?!
[05:43] ---
    "Noland the Liar"
[05:44] ---
    This is a famous story in the North.
[05:47] ---
    It's a fairy tale, but I've heard that this
    Noland guy actually existed long ago.
[05:55] ---
    This is a story from long, long ago...
[05:58] ---
    A story that took place 400 long years ago.
[06:03] ---
    A man named Montblanc Noland
    lived in a North Blue country.
[06:09] ---
    Noland, an explorer, always talked
    about his incredible adventures.
[06:15] ---
    However, the villagers couldn't tell
    if those stories were true or not.
[06:21] ---
    One day, he reported to the King
    after coming back from his travels.
[06:27] ---
    "I saw a mountain of gold
    on an island in the great sea."
[06:32] ---
    The courageous king set sail to the
    great sea to see if the story was true,
[06:38] ---
    taking 2,000 soldiers along with him.
[06:41] ---
    After surviving great storms
    and battling against monsters,
[06:45] ---
    only the King, Noland and 100
    soldiers made it to the island.
[06:52] ---
    However, what they found
    there was just a jungle.
[06:58] ---
    In the end, he was sentenced
    to death for the crime of lying.
[07:03] ---
    Noland's last words were as follows:
[07:06] ---
    "That's right! The mountain
    of gold sank in the sea!"
[07:10] ---
    The King and the others were dumbfounded.
[07:13] ---
    No one believed Noland any longer
[07:16] ---
    because Noland continued
    to lie until his very death.
[07:21] ---
    This book is based on the North Blue
    fairy tale "Noland the Liar."
[07:28] ---
    Montblanc Cricket is a descendant
    of that Montblanc Noland?!
[07:33] ---
    I heard that fairy tale a lot when I was a kid.
[07:36] ---
    There isn't anyone in the North Blue
    who doesn't know the tale.
[07:40] ---
    We're all from the North Blue,
    so we often got told
[07:44] ---
    that if we lied a lot, we'd be
    sentenced to death like Noland.
[07:50] ---
    This is getting more and more interesting!
[07:53] ---
    I never would've imagined that
    Jaya was the island in that fairy tale.
[07:56] ---
    And, after 400 years,
    a descendant of Noland the Liar
[07:59] ---
    is looking for the gold on this island, huh?
[08:04] ---
    In order to clear the name of his ancestor,
[08:06] ---
    who was called a big liar
    and laughed at until he died...
[08:13] ---
    This family cracks me up!
[08:18] ---
    Does he really think that
    he can clear the name
[08:20] ---
    of his 400 year-old ancestor by
    bringing back a few pieces of gold?!
[08:26] ---
    Sounds like he's weak in the head!
[08:37] ---
    Alas, the liar died...
[08:44] ---
    ...before he could even become
    a brave warrior on the sea.
[08:48] ---
    Don't look at me! And don't add in a
    heartbreaking sentence on your own!
[08:54] ---
    Luffy fell into the sea!!
[08:56] ---
    What're you doing?!
[08:58] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[09:00] ---
    You've got guts, relaxing at someone's
    house without permission!
[09:03] ---
    The sea in this area is my turf!
[09:06] ---
    --Hey, Usopp! Go grab Luffy!
    --Got it!
[09:08] ---
    You're after the gold, aren't you? Die!
[09:20] ---
    --Sanji!!
    --Sanji-kun!
[09:22] ---
    Don't worry. It didn't hit me.
[09:27] ---
    Hold on!
[09:28] ---
    Idiot... You shouldn't
    underestimate your opponent.
[09:32] ---
    Move! I'll handle this!
[09:42] ---
    Hey, what were you doing?!
[09:44] ---
    I saw... bubbles coming out of the water.
[09:48] ---
    So I was looking in the water,
    then suddenly a chestnut appeared.
[09:51] ---
    The chestnut was actually a guy,
    and he dragged me into the water.
[09:56] ---
    Hey, old guy!
[10:00] ---
    Bring more cold towels! Open up the windows!
[10:05] ---
    --Caisson disease?
    --Is this guy sick?
[10:08] ---
    Yeah, it's a sickness that divers sometimes get.
[10:12] ---
    But it doesn't usually become
    a longstanding condition.
[10:15] ---
    Due to a lack of decompression
    when surfacing from the seabed,
[10:19] ---
    the nitrogen dissolved in the
    blood gets released quickly
[10:23] ---
    and forms gas bubbles at that time.
[10:25] ---
    Since the gas bubbles expand
    inside and outside of blood vessels,
[10:28] ---
    they cause problems to
    blood flow, muscle and joints.
[10:32] ---
    So it's some bizarre phenomenon, huh?
[10:35] ---
    He probably kept diving
    every day without giving time
[10:39] ---
    for those bubbles to disappear from the body.
[10:43] ---
    What for?!
[10:45] ---
    I don't know, but he's taking a risk.
[10:49] ---
    In some cases, caisson disease can...
[10:52] ---
    ...cause death.
[11:06] ---
    Oh hey, it's you, Masira. So you're alive.
[11:09] ---
    Alive? What're you talking about?
[11:11] ---
    Never mind. In any case,
    what was that gunfire about?
[11:14] ---
    Exactly, brother! Do you think
    something happened to the old-timer?
[11:17] ---
    Let's hurry! I'm getting all worked up!
[11:22] ---
    Old-timer! Are you all right?!
[11:26] ---
    They've come to kill us!!
[11:28] ---
    What're you guys doing here?!
[11:31] ---
    What did you do to the old-timer?!
[11:33] ---
    What? We're looking after this guy
    right now, so go somewhere else.
[11:37] ---
    Idiot! They aren't really gonna hear us out!
[11:40] ---
    --They're savages, you know!
    --You know!
[11:42] ---
    --Everyone, evacuate through the windows!
    --You...
[11:46] ---
    ...guys are so nice!
[11:48] ---
    They're listening!
[12:05] ---
    You guys live here, too?
[12:07] ---
    Well, the old-timer's house is the
    headquarters of the Saruyama Alliance.
[12:12] ---
    But we sleep on our ships most of the time
[12:15] ---
    because this house is too small for us.
[12:19] ---
    It's because you guys are too big.
[12:21] ---
    Well, to those Giant guys you
    look like a ball of earwax, though.
[12:26] ---
    Why are they getting along so well?
[12:29] ---
    They can probably relate to each other.
[12:31] ---
    But it's amazing that you guys
    kicked him off when you're so small!
[12:37] ---
    --Really? You can do it, too.
    --Oh, really?
[12:39] ---
    Yeah, you can because you're a monkey.
[12:42] ---
    Luffy, he's come around!
[12:44] ---
    He's awake?!
[12:48] ---
    Hey, he's right, I can kick Masira...
[12:53] ---
    Hey old diamond-head!
    I wanna ask you something!
[13:00] ---
    Sorry I caused you trouble.
[13:02] ---
    I thought you were just
    more idiots after the gold.
[13:06] ---
    What?! You have gold bullion?
[13:08] ---
    Don't go after it.
[13:09] ---
    What is it that you wanna ask me?
[13:11] ---
    Old guy, we wanna go to the sky island!
    Please tell us how to get there!
[13:16] ---
    Sky island?
[13:21] ---
    You guys believe in the sky island?
[13:25] ---
    Hey, stop it! He's a sick person!
[13:27] ---
    There's no sky island, old guy?!
[13:33] ---
    No one knows.
[13:36] ---
    I know someone who said there is.
[13:39] ---
    But people call him a legendary big liar!
[13:43] ---
    His family became a laughing stock forever.
[13:46] ---
    It's not me!
[13:49] ---
    There's an old story that
    most North Blue people know.
[13:52] ---
    "Noland the Liar" is the one.
[13:56] ---
    Like I said, it's not me!
    He's got a different name, right?!
[13:59] ---
    Come to think of it, Noland's name is,
    if I'm not mistaken, Montblanc Noland.
[14:04] ---
    Could it be that you're Noland's...
[14:06] ---
    A descendant?! Could this place
    be the island in that story?!
[14:10] ---
    Hmph! He's my granddad's
    granddad's granddad's...
[14:15] ---
    He's my distant ancestor... What a nuisance.
[14:19] ---
    I doubt there's a drop
    of his blood in my body...
[14:24] ---
    Although the Montblanc family
    was driven out of the country then,
[14:26] ---
    and has kept a low profile,
[14:28] ---
    people continue to
    denounce our family to this day.
[14:31] ---
    But no one in the family hates him.
[14:36] ---
    Why?
[14:37] ---
    Because Noland was an
    extraordinarily honest person.
[14:41] ---
    But in that picture book...
[14:44] ---
    Noland's last excuse in
    the picture book is like this.
[14:48] ---
    "That's right! The mountain
    of gold sank in the sea!"
[14:52] ---
    A stupid-looking face is drawn in this book...
[14:55] ---
    ...but he shed many tears
    and died a regrettable death.
[15:01] ---
    He was sure that the island
    he reached was Jaya,
[15:04] ---
    where he found the wreckage of a city of gold.
[15:06] ---
    He felt that there was no way
    it was just an illusion.
[15:11] ---
    Noland insisted that the ruins had
    submerged due to crustal movements,
[15:15] ---
    but everyone thought he was
    making excuses out of desperation.
[15:20] ---
    Noland was executed in front
    of the laughing onlookers,
[15:24] ---
    and only the name "Liar" remained.
[15:27] ---
    Oh, I see! You're looking for
    the city of gold on the seabed
[15:31] ---
    in order to clear the Montblanc family's name!
[15:33] ---
    Don't be silly!
[15:35] ---
    Usopp!!
[15:37] ---
    I thought I'd die...
[15:39] ---
    How honest my distant ancestor was,
[15:42] ---
    or how great an explorer he was,
    has nothing to do with me!
[15:46] ---
    Can you understand how a kid would
    feel being laughed at by strangers
[15:50] ---
    just because he's the
    descendant of such an idiot?!
[15:53] ---
    That's how I grew up!
[15:58] ---
    But... yeah, over the past 400 years,
    many set sail to restore our family's honor,
[16:07] ---
    though all of them went missing.
[16:11] ---
    I was ashamed of such a family.
[16:13] ---
    I ran away from home and became a pirate.
[16:16] ---
    Oh? You're a pirate, too?
[16:19] ---
    It's not that I wanted to become a pirate.
[16:22] ---
    I just wanted to escape from Noland's spell.
[16:25] ---
    And over time, I came to
    have my own pirate group.
[16:29] ---
    At long last, I entered the Grand Line,
[16:32] ---
    and I spent all my time on adventures.
[16:35] ---
    But ten years ago, my ship
    reached this island by accident.
[16:42] ---
    Strangely enough, only I,
[16:44] ---
    who continued to hate the Montblanc
    family and Noland the most, made it here.
[16:49] ---
    The island didn't have a city of gold,
    just like the picture book said.
[16:54] ---
    As I stood on a cape of the island,
    I felt that it was destiny.
[16:57] ---
    There was no place to escape to.
[17:00] ---
    Let's settle this, Noland!
[17:03] ---
    Hell, no! Captain, we're not gonna have
    anything to do with your family's problem!
[17:08] ---
    If you insist on searching
    for the gold, do it alone!
[17:12] ---
    We're splitting here. Goodbye, Captain.
[17:20] ---
    If it's there, that's fine.
    If it's not there, that's fine, too.
[17:25] ---
    It's not that I want to prove his innocence.
[17:29] ---
    This is a duel with the man
    who threw a wrench into my life.
[17:35] ---
    I want to set the record straight before I die.
[17:45] ---
    This is indeed a man's...
[17:48] ---
    Then, what about them?
    Why are those monkeys, here?
[17:52] ---
    There must've been an exciting drama
[17:55] ---
    spoken with the fists of men
    committed to exploring the seabed.
[17:59] ---
    Those guys are fans of the picture book.
[18:01] ---
    Fans?!
[18:02] ---
    That's a quite simple connection.
[18:05] ---
    I think it was five or six years ago.
[18:07] ---
    They heard a rumor about
    me and barged in on me.
[18:10] ---
    They said, "We think
    Noland's gold definitely exists!"
[18:16] ---
    Shojo!
[18:18] ---
    Are you ready to take me on
    after suddenly kicking me like that?!
[18:20] ---
    Hey, that's an outrageous
    false accusation, Masira!
[18:22] ---
    Don't make me angry!
[18:26] ---
    The sea around here is deep.
[18:28] ---
    In the dark, cold sea, you're
    haunted by a deeper solitude.
[18:34] ---
    I just dived and searched alone every day.
[18:39] ---
    They just came into my life
[18:42] ---
    and became my underlings without
    my permission, and they romp around.
[18:47] ---
    Single-minded idiots like them...
    make me feel relieved, to be honest.
[18:53] ---
    Do you understand?
[18:55] ---
    I do. Yeah, real comrades give
    each other strength and...
[19:01] ---
    Well, putting the story
    about those monkeys aside...
[19:04] ---
    Then, don't ask! Clench your teeth!
[19:08] ---
    Like I said... I wanna go
    to the sky island, old guy!
[19:14] ---
    You're a hasty one!
[19:16] ---
    Yeah, I did tell you, right? The witness
    to the sky island is that Noland the Liar.
[19:21] ---
    If you have anything to do with him,
    you'll be laughed at like me.
[19:25] ---
    What?! He's been to the sky island, too?!
[19:28] ---
    Unfortunately, this doesn't say he did, but...
[19:31] ---
    A logbook?! Could it be Noland's?
[19:34] ---
    That's right.
[19:36] ---
    Read around there.
[19:38] ---
    Amazing... A logbook from 400 years ago...
[19:42] ---
    Sea Ephemeris Year 1120, June 21st, Sunny.
[19:47] ---
    We left Villa, a cheerful town.
[19:49] ---
    Following the Log Pose, we should be
    heading east-northeast from the harbor.
[19:55] ---
    We got a rare item from a bumboat
    that we came across during the day.
[19:59] ---
    It's a ski-like one-person boat called a waver.
[20:04] ---
    It's a mysterious boat that can generate wind
    and move even on a day without wind.
[20:08] ---
    It seems that you need to get the hang
    of it to ride, and I couldn't manage it.
[20:11] ---
    Right now, it's become
    a perfect toy for my crew.
[20:15] ---
    No way! What's this? I want it!
[20:16] ---
    Never mind that, keep reading!!
[20:19] ---
    The power for this seems to be a
    product found only on the sky island,
[20:22] ---
    and I hear that many peculiar
    things like that exist in the sky.
[20:26] ---
    Speaking of the sky island, one of my
    explorer friends showed me a live skyfish.
[20:31] ---
    I was surprised at how strange the fish looked.
[20:33] ---
    Skyfish?
[20:35] ---
    To our ship, it's still an unknown area,
[20:38] ---
    but as a sailor, I'd like to go
    to the sea in the sky one day.
[20:42] ---
    Montblanc Noland...
[20:44] ---
    He said "the sea in the sky"!
[20:46] ---
    It's just like Robin said!!
[20:48] ---
    And it sounds like the sky island was a
    pretty normal thing for people back them.
[20:52] ---
    So it really does exist!
[20:53] ---
    Alright!!
[20:57] ---
    Hey, old-timer! How are you feeling?!
[20:59] ---
    Couldn't be better!
[21:01] ---
    Glad to hear it!
[21:03] ---
    Old-timer, this bastard...
[21:04] ---
    Shut up and listen. Do you like those guys?
[21:08] ---
    Why do you ask?
[21:10] ---
    It seems like they wanna go
    to the sky island at any cost.
[21:14] ---
    Sky island... If they wanna go,
    there's only one way to get there.
[21:19] ---
    If they try on their own, they'll get
    killed immediately, old-timer.
[21:22] ---
    Exactly... so why don't we give them a hand?
[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
[23:01] ---
    This unique moment...
[23:10] ---
    We can finally go to the sky! To the sky!!
[23:13] ---
    I wonder what kind of place the sky island is!
[23:15] ---
    I'm so excited!
[23:16] ---
    It's an adventure befitting me, Captain Usopp!
[23:19] ---
    But it'll be a life-threatening voyage.
[23:21] ---
    Yeah, it'll be a life-threatening...
    What? Hey, Luffy, let's forget about it.
[23:24] ---
    You...!
[23:26] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:28] ---
    "Steer for the Clouds! Capture the South Bird!"
[23:31] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
[23:33] ---
