[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
[01:54] ---
    "Steer for the Clouds! Capture the South Bird!"
[02:00] ---
    What do you need to tell us, old guy?
[02:03] ---
    Here. I'll start by telling you
    everything I know about the sky island.
[02:09] ---
    None of it's certain, but it's up to you
    if you wanna believe it or not!
[02:14] ---
    --Yeah! We believe you!
    --Geez, you're fast!
[02:16] ---
    There's a strange phenomenon
    that occurs in these waters--
[02:20] ---
    sometimes it'll turn to night,
    even though it's the middle of the day.
[02:24] ---
    Yeah! We saw that! Right?!
[02:27] ---
    Yeah! Night came, and then
    some monsters appeared!
[02:34] ---
    The giants?
[02:35] ---
    There's a story about where they
    come from, but forget 'em for now.
[02:40] ---
    This sudden nightfall...
[02:45] ---
    It's caused by the shadows
    of extremely compact clouds...
[02:49] ---
    You mean cumulonimbus clouds?
    But it was too dark to be clouds...
[02:53] ---
    Wow! You're so dumb, old guy!
[02:56] ---
    It gets cloudy on days
    when there's lots of clouds!
[02:58] ---
    --Yeah! Cloudy!
    --Cloudy!
[03:00] ---
    Shut up and listen!
[03:02] ---
    There are clouds known as
    "cumuloregalis clouds."
[03:06] ---
    They pile high into the sky but
    produce no air currents or rain.
[03:11] ---
    When they appear high in the sky,
    even sunlight is blocked out,
[03:17] ---
    bringing afternoon "nighttime" to the ground.
[03:19] ---
    One theory has it that cumuloregalis
    clouds are fossilized clouds
[03:23] ---
    that have floated in the sky for
    thousands and thousands of years.
[03:27] ---
    That's ridiculous! Clouds with no
    air currents even after building up?!
[03:32] ---
    You're free to believe they can't exist.
[03:35] ---
    I'm not asking you to believe me!
[03:38] ---
    They're mystery clouds, then?
[03:40] ---
    Pretty much. There's still
    no explanation for them.
[03:43] ---
    You're awesome, Luffy!
[03:45] ---
    Listen. If a sky island really does exist...
[03:49] ---
    ...that'd be the only possible place!
[03:51] ---
    Okay! Gotcha! Let's go above those clouds!
[03:54] ---
    --Get up, Zoro!
    --Huh? Is it morning?
[03:56] ---
    Get ready, everyone! Cloud rudder full!
[03:59] ---
    Thanks for filling us in, old guy!
[04:02] ---
    How many times do I gotta say
    we don't know how to get there?!
[04:06] ---
    Now comes the real problem.
[04:08] ---
    Let me start by saying this...
    Put your lives on the line!
[04:10] ---
    We're already near death...
[04:12] ---
    The Knock-Up Stream is a
    current that shoots into the air...
[04:16] ---
    You can theoretically take it
    into the sky. Understand?
[04:20] ---
    It's a current that can send ships flying, right?
[04:24] ---
    Oh! Then it just needs to
    send us above the clouds!
[04:27] ---
    Yahoo!
[04:30] ---
    On a current?
[04:32] ---
    But wouldn't we just end up
    smashing back into the ocean?
[04:36] ---
    Normally, yeah. The key is timing.
[04:40] ---
    It's easy to talk about
    being sent up the current,
[04:45] ---
    but it's not gonna be as nice
    a trip as you guys think.
[04:51] ---
    The Knock-Up Stream is a natural disaster.
[04:55] ---
    It's something that should
    normally be avoided!
[04:59] ---
    How exactly does a water
    current rise into the sky?
[05:03] ---
    We've never heard of
    anything like that before...
[05:07] ---
    Yeah!
[05:10] ---
    Naturally, we can only guess as to
    how that monstrous current works.
[05:15] ---
    No one's dumb enough to
    jump in and find out, after all.
[05:19] ---
    The accepted theory goes like this!
[05:25] ---
    Deep beneath the sea floor,
    there are large cavities,
[05:28] ---
    and low-temperature
    sea water seeps into them.
[05:32] ---
    The heat from the earth below
    turns that water into steam,
[05:35] ---
    and the resulting pressure causes
    an explosion on the sea floor.
[05:39] ---
    One big enough to send the sea flying
    and create a current into the sky!
[05:47] ---
    For about one minute, the sea
    continues to rise into the sky.
[05:52] ---
    One minute?! What size of explosion
    are we talking about here?!
[05:57] ---
    The explosions change location each time,
[05:59] ---
    and occur five times a month.
[06:02] ---
    You want us to be blown into smithereens...?!
[06:05] ---
    But, y'know,
[06:07] ---
    describing a grand natural phenomenon
    with words and logic is foolish.
[06:12] ---
    S-So, basically, we gotta ride this current
    that only appears five times a month
[06:18] ---
    and hope the sky island shows up?
[06:20] ---
    Yeah. And if you miss, you'll fall
    back down, slam into the ocean...
[06:29] ---
    ...and then you'll all end up
    at the bottom of the sea.
[06:33] ---
    A-Alright! Let's give up on the sky island!
[06:38] ---
    It's impossible!
[06:40] ---
    You gotta have the luckiest luck
    that's ever lucked to make it there!
[06:48] ---
    We'll be fine! Let's go!
[06:50] ---
    How did I know?
[06:51] ---
    "We'll be fine"? How can you say
    such groundless stuff so easily...?!
[06:55] ---
    I mean, just look at the Going Merry now!
[06:58] ---
    It looks so pitiful!
[07:01] ---
    It can't stand up to a
    gigantic disaster like that!
[07:04] ---
    That's true. Even in mint condition,
    that ship wouldn't stand a chance.
[07:09] ---
    What?!
[07:10] ---
    Speed, weight, strength...
[07:12] ---
    That boat'd be blasted apart in the explosion.
[07:17] ---
    But... See! It really is impossible!
[07:21] ---
    But don't you worry about that.
[07:23] ---
    I'll have Masira and Shojo
    help take you there.
[07:27] ---
    Only after we strengthen your ship, of course.
[07:30] ---
    Yeah! Just leave it to us!
[07:32] ---
    Thanks, guys!
[07:34] ---
    Didn't even ask us...
[07:38] ---
    --Do you even understand?!
    --Understand what?
[07:40] ---
    For starters... Yeah!
[07:42] ---
    The most we can stay on
    this island is one more day!
[07:47] ---
    After that, the Log Pose will
    start pointing to the next island!
[07:51] ---
    Yeah! Yeah! We won't make it in time!
[07:55] ---
    Seriously, old man! You're not a psychic!
[07:57] ---
    I doubt you know,
    but how many days will it be
[07:59] ---
    until the Knock-Up Stream and
    the cumuloregalis clouds line up?!
[08:04] ---
    No, no! How many months?!
    No, how many years?!
[08:09] ---
    Tomorrow afternoon.
    If you're going, you better get ready!
[08:13] ---
    We can't make it in that time!
[08:15] ---
    Oh? If you don't like it, then just quit!
[08:20] ---
    Y-You're lying!
[08:22] ---
    This isn't right! We just met you today!
    Aren't you being too nice?!
[08:27] ---
    Plus...!
[08:29] ---
    --Hold on, Usopp!
    --Shut up, you!
[08:32] ---
    Tomorrow just happens
    to be the perfect chance
[08:35] ---
    to go to this legendary,
    unknown "sky island"?!
[08:39] ---
    And you'll help strengthen
    our ship and take us there?!
[08:43] ---
    That's way too convenient!
[08:45] ---
    What exactly are you scheming?!
[08:47] ---
    Plus you're Noland the Liar's
    descendant! We can't trust you!
[08:56] ---
    Old-timer! Dinner's ready!
[08:59] ---
    Move!
[09:00] ---
    Nami-san! Dinner's--
[09:05] ---
    W-What?! Are you gonna fight?!
[09:08] ---
    Whenever "midday night"
    is confirmed in Masira's turf,
[09:12] ---
    cumuloregalis clouds appear in
    the southern skies the next day.
[09:17] ---
    And judging from its five-per-month rate,
[09:20] ---
    the Knock-Up Stream will
    probably be active tomorrow.
[09:24] ---
    It'll happen somewhere south of here.
[09:27] ---
    It's not a 100% certainty, but there's
    a good chance it'll be tomorrow!
[09:39] ---
    I'm glad to have met fools like you.
[09:45] ---
    Now, let's go and have some food!
    Take it easy at my place today...
[09:50] ---
    ...comrades!
[09:55] ---
    --Food! Hurry, Usopp!
    --Yeah! C'mon!
[09:58] ---
    --Chopper! Go get Robin-chan!
    --Right!
[10:03] ---
    Looks like all we can do is try
    our best to get into the sky...
[10:08] ---
    Though in the end, it's up to luck...
[10:10] ---
    Nami. Am I miserable and cowardly?
[10:13] ---
    You forgot "stupid."
[10:15] ---
    I know how you feel. Now go apologize.
[10:21] ---
    I'm sorry, old guy!
[10:24] ---
    What the...?! Yuck! Don't wipe your snot on me!
[10:34] ---
    Today's booze is especially great!
[10:37] ---
    Eat up, eat up! The saury full
    course is just getting started!
[10:40] ---
    Here!
[10:42] ---
    Gotcha, salvage bum!
    That's a Tabasco Bomber!
[10:46] ---
    Why, you! Long-nose!
[10:49] ---
    Girlie! Come sit here!
[10:51] ---
    It's 100 years too early to
    have Nami-san wait on you!
[11:04] ---
    "I saw gold...
[11:07] ---
    ...in the skull's right eye!"
[11:09] ---
    Gold?!
[11:13] ---
    That tear-soaked sentence was
    the last thing Noland wrote.
[11:18] ---
    "I saw gold in the skull's right eye..."
[11:22] ---
    Noland was executed that same day.
[11:25] ---
    Even after coming to Jaya,
    those words make no sense at all.
[11:30] ---
    "The skull's right eye..."
[11:31] ---
    Is it referring to the name
    of a city that once existed?
[11:34] ---
    Or was it an allusion to his own death?
[11:37] ---
    The blank pages that follow say nothing...
[11:41] ---
    So that's why we dive!
[11:44] ---
    We have a dream! On the sea floor!
[11:47] ---
    That's right!
[11:51] ---
    We're gonna fly!
[11:54] ---
    Not if you keep eating like that, we won't!
[12:02] ---
    It's gotten quite late, but I see it, Bellamy.
[12:05] ---
    Prepare to go ashore.
[12:08] ---
    Dream-chasing fools deserve
    more than a few lumps!
[12:28] ---
    "The day I arrived on Jaya.
    Entry for May 21, 1122."
[12:33] ---
    Noland! Noland!
[12:36] ---
    "Upon landing on the island,
    we heard strange bird calls
[12:39] ---
    and the sound of a very large
    bell coming from the forest.
[12:46] ---
    The sound from that huge
    gold bell resonated far and wide,
[12:51] ---
    almost as if showing off the
    prosperity of a city long past!
[12:56] ---
    We thought we knew everything
    after living for a few decades..."
[13:02] ---
    Noland! Noland!
[13:04] ---
    "...but experiencing the transience
    of this civilization that flourished
[13:08] ---
    for a long time on the wide
    open sea left us speechless!
[13:12] ---
    The sound of the bell had
    us stopped in our tracks!"
[13:18] ---
    Noland's so cool!
[13:21] ---
    Wow! A giant gold bell!
[13:24] ---
    Wait a minute, old guy!
    You like Noland after all!
[13:30] ---
    --Look at this!
    --Wow! Gold bells!
[13:34] ---
    So, how exactly are those "giant"?
[13:37] ---
    These aren't that bell.
    They're bell-shaped ingots.
[13:42] ---
    We found these three on the sea floor.
[13:44] ---
    Ingots?
[13:45] ---
    Oh! So there really is a city of gold!
[13:47] ---
    They don't prove that.
[13:50] ---
    You could find that much gold in any old ruins.
[13:54] ---
    But it does prove that there
    was a civilization in this area.
[13:58] ---
    Ingots are made to have standardized weights.
[14:02] ---
    Which means they were used for trade.
[14:05] ---
    Yes. And the strange bird calls
    mentioned before that...
[14:08] ---
    Hey, Masira!
[14:12] ---
    --Whoa! There's more?!
    --This one's huge!
[14:14] ---
    --That's all of 'em.
    --Wow! It's so pretty!
[14:18] ---
    Gold bells and a bird...
[14:20] ---
    Do you suppose they were symbols of old Jaya?
[14:24] ---
    Dunno, but I think they were
    part of some sort of model.
[14:28] ---
    This here's called a South Bird,
    and they still exist on this island!
[14:33] ---
    Oh! Do they have weird calls?
[14:35] ---
    Yep. Just like the logbook says!
[14:37] ---
    Sailors have long used South Birds to...
[14:44] ---
    Oh, crap!
[14:46] ---
    What is it?! What's wrong?!
[14:48] ---
    This is bad! You guys! Go into
    the forest! The southern forest!
[14:52] ---
    Huh?! What're you talking about?!
    Are you crazy, old guy?!
[14:54] ---
    Go catch this bird! Right now!
[14:57] ---
    Why?! What for?!
[14:58] ---
    Why do we need a bird?
[15:00] ---
    Listen closely! The Knock-Up Stream
    you're heading for tomorrow
[15:05] ---
    is located directly south of this cape.
[15:08] ---
    How are you going to get there?!
[15:10] ---
    Just sail straight there, right?
[15:12] ---
    This is the Grand Line, you know!
[15:14] ---
    Once you're on the open sea,
    there's no way to get your bearings!
[15:18] ---
    That's right!
[15:20] ---
    We're heading for ocean, not an island,
    so we have no guide to rely on!
[15:24] ---
    Then how do we go straight south?
[15:27] ---
    You use that bird's behavior!
[15:31] ---
    Some types of animals have
    accurate, internal magnets
[15:34] ---
    which allow them to get their bearings.
[15:38] ---
    Then you're lower than an animal, Zoro!
[15:41] ---
    Like you're anyone to talk!
[15:43] ---
    South Birds are the greatest of such animals!
[15:48] ---
    No matter how vast the land
    or sea they're thrown into,
[15:51] ---
    their bodies will always indicate
    the direction accurately.
[15:57] ---
    Anyway, without one of these birds,
    you're going nowhere!
[16:00] ---
    You won't even get the
    chance to go to the sky island!
[16:04] ---
    Eh?!
[16:05] ---
    Why are you telling us this now?!
[16:08] ---
    Quit fussing!
[16:10] ---
    There's no time! Hurry! Don't dilly-dally!
[16:13] ---
    You want us to go into the forest
    in the middle of the night?!
[16:16] ---
    You forgot these!
[16:19] ---
    We're gonna get started on your beat-up ship!
[16:23] ---
    Now that I think about it,
    there was no time to be partyin'!
[16:26] ---
    Again, why are you telling us this now?!
[16:28] ---
    Listen! Make sure you catch at
    least one South Bird before dawn!
[16:35] ---
    --It's pitch dark!
    --Quit pulling me!
[16:39] ---
    It's not my fault! My hands
    are moving on their own!
[16:43] ---
    My stomach's so full...
    I don't think I can chase birds...
[16:48] ---
    Where are these weird birds?!
[16:50] ---
    Let's just catch one so we
    can get back to drinking!
[16:53] ---
    How did we wind up doing this so suddenly?!
[16:56] ---
    --You're in the way!
    --Man! Couldn't he have told us during the day?!
[17:01] ---
    Hey, where are the birds?
[17:02] ---
    If we knew where they were,
    we wouldn't be out looking for 'em!
[17:06] ---
    Our only clue is that they have a weird call...
[17:08] ---
    And they look just like that gold statue...
[17:11] ---
    Are there really such dumb-looking birds?!
[17:14] ---
    Plus "weird call" is way too vague!
    How're we supposed to know?!
[17:19] ---
    He said we'd know once we're in the forest...
[17:25] ---
    A weird call!
[17:26] ---
    That's it!
[17:28] ---
    Alright!
[17:29] ---
    At this point, we got no other choice!
[17:31] ---
    We have three nets. Let's split
    into three groups and search!
[17:34] ---
    Right!
[17:35] ---
    Let's go! Let's beat up those weird birds!
[17:39] ---
    You mean catch!
[17:47] ---
    Don't worry! Whatever we run into,
    I'll protect you, Nami-san!
[17:50] ---
    Sanji-kun! What about me?!
[17:52] ---
    Hell if I care! Quit being insecure!
[17:55] ---
    In any case, let's catch a bird
    so we can get out of this forest!
[17:59] ---
    Let's start by listening closely
    for that bird we heard earlier.
[18:05] ---
    --That bird call!
    --Jooo! Come out! Joooo!
[18:09] ---
    Bastard!
[18:12] ---
    What're you catching me for?!
[18:13] ---
    Oh, Nami! That's a cool thing
    you got on! Where'd you get it?
[18:17] ---
    What?
[18:22] ---
    Spider!
[18:23] ---
    Huh? It's just a spider!
    You poor thing... Come here!
[18:27] ---
    Spiders are yucky, you moron!
    Toss it away somewhere!
[18:31] ---
    Get away, Usopp! I bet it's poisonous!
[18:34] ---
    They're falling from the trees!
[18:36] ---
    This is too gross!
[18:38] ---
    It's probably a species of tarantula!
[18:41] ---
    It's alright! They won't spit poison
    as long as we don't do anything!
[18:45] ---
    I used to fight spiders a long time ago!
[18:47] ---
    No, you can count me out when
    it comes to creepy bugs like that!
[18:51] ---
    Same here! I totally hate them!
    Totally! Hurry and throw it far away!
[18:55] ---
    Oh? But those moths and
    centipedes don't bother you?
[19:08] ---
    I hate moths and centipedes!
[19:11] ---
    Ahh! Don't leave me behind!
[19:15] ---
    I hear screams...
[19:17] ---
    Forget about 'em.
[19:23] ---
    A centipede, huh? It's pretty damn big...
[19:25] ---
    It's not nice to kill everything. Poor thing...
[19:29] ---
    That's what it gets for trying to attack me.
[19:33] ---
    --But...
    --What?!
[19:35] ---
    That's the path we just took here.
[19:40] ---
    That bird call... This way.
[19:43] ---
    Watch out for that quagmire.
[19:47] ---
    Hey! Wait for--!
[19:54] ---
    Gotcha!
[19:55] ---
    Look, Chopper! It's an Atlas!
[19:57] ---
    Atlas?
[19:58] ---
    Yup! Atlases and Hercules are
    the most admired bugs in the world!
[20:04] ---
    Really? Beetles?
[20:06] ---
    You never heard of 'em?!
    They're super hard to catch!
[20:09] ---
    Which is better, them or the One Piece?!
[20:11] ---
    Hmm... That's hard!
[20:13] ---
    Luffy! There's something here, too!
[20:16] ---
    Oh! It's a Miyama!
[20:18] ---
    Catch it!
[20:21] ---
    It flew away!
[20:22] ---
    Why, you...!
[20:26] ---
    After it! Don't let it get away!
[20:30] ---
    A beehive! Run!
[20:45] ---
    What's with this forest?!
[20:48] ---
    --Luffy! Look there!
    --It's that bird!
[20:51] ---
    He dropped the beehives!
[20:55] ---
    --Eh?!
    --Huh? Did he say something?!
[20:59] ---
    He said, "I'll kill you for invading this forest!"
[21:14] ---
    Now, now, boy! Don't be making us mad!
[21:18] ---
    It's not nice to suddenly show up
    at night and demand gold, kiddos.
[21:23] ---
    Leave! We got work to do now!
[21:28] ---
    You're bodyguards, huh?
[21:30] ---
    Come to think of it, there was
    a pirate named Cricket...
[21:34] ---
    I heard the sad tale of your
    Montblanc family at the pub.
[21:37] ---
    It moved me so.
[21:39] ---
    Treasure someone else struggled to
    get has a special flavor all its own!
[21:45] ---
    Wanna know what people call me?
[21:49] ---
    The Hyena!
[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] ---
    Old guy! We caught a bird!
[23:12] ---
    W-What happened, old diamond-head?!
[23:14] ---
    S-Sorry!
[23:16] ---
    There's nothing we could do! We're pathetic!
[23:18] ---
    The gold's been stolen!
[23:20] ---
    It's alright! Forget about that junk!
[23:23] ---
    Bellamy's mark!
[23:24] ---
    I'll be back by morning!
[23:26] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:27] ---
    "Dreams Don't Come True?!
    Bellamy versus the Saruyama Alliance"
[23:30] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
[23:33] ---
