[00:01] ---
    Wealth, fame, power...
[00:03] ---
    Gold Roger,
    the King of the Pirates,
[00:05] ---
    attained everything
    this world has to offer.
[00:07] ---
    The words he uttered just before
    his death drove people to the seas.
[00:11] ---
    My treasure?
    If you want it, you can have it!
[00:15] ---
    Find it! I left everything
    this world has to offer there!
[00:21] ---
    And so men head for the
    Grand Line in pursuit of their dreams!
[00:26] ---
    The world has truly
    entered a Great Pirate Era!
[00:30] ---
    We're going to gather up
    all our dreams
[00:35] ---
    and set out in search
    of something to find
[00:41] ---
    ONE PIECE!
[00:47] ---
    Compasses only cause delays
[00:53] ---
    Delirious with fever,
    I take the helm
[00:59] ---
    If the dusty treasure map has
    been verified, it's not a legend!
[01:11] ---
    When it comes to personal storms,
[01:17] ---
    simply ride aboard
    someone else's biorhythm
[01:22] ---
    and pretend it isn't there!
[01:26] ---
    We're going to gather up
    all our dreams
[01:31] ---
    and set out in search
    of something to find
[01:37] ---
    A coin in my pocket,
    and do you wanna be my friend?
[01:43] ---
    We are, We are on the cruise!
[01:48] ---
    We are!
[02:01] ---
    Whew, that's heavy!
[02:03] ---
    W-What is that?!
[02:04] ---
    I found it in the storeroom!
[02:06] ---
    Those're cannonballs!
[02:08] ---
    We finally got a cannon,
    so I thought I'd do some practice!
[02:12] ---
    Then just leave it to me!
[02:15] ---
    I believe it was when I was three
    that I jumped on a cannonball
[02:18] ---
    flying my way and traveled
    halfway around the world!
[02:20] ---
    --How do you work this thing?
    --Listen!
[02:23] ---
    Hey, Zoro! Do you
    know how to work it?!
[02:25] ---
    He's been fast asleep all this time.
[02:29] ---
    He's no fun.
[02:31] ---
    A little further to the south is a
    reef that'd make a perfect target!
[02:35] ---
    For reals?!
[02:36] ---
    Let's go! Let's go!
[02:37] ---
    --Let's go there!
    --Hey! You're gonna fire
    a cannon without me?!
[02:40] ---
    People used to call me Cannon
    Master Usopp, you know! Listen!
[02:50] ---
    "The Three-Sword Style's Past!
    Zoro and Kuina's Vow!"
[03:14] ---
    Hey!
[03:17] ---
    Hey!
[03:19] ---
    I'm here to challenge your dojo!
[03:21] ---
    Someone strong, come out! Fight me!
[03:26] ---
    Dojo-challenging is
    certainly rare these days.
[03:29] ---
    Hmph! Don't take me
    lightly just 'cause I'm a kid!
[03:32] ---
    I'm unrivaled in the next village over!
[03:34] ---
    Very well. I accept.
[03:38] ---
    If I win, I get your dojo!
[03:40] ---
    --And if you lose?
    --T-Then, uhh...
[03:44] ---
    I'll become a student here!
[03:47] ---
    That will be fine. Now, then...
[03:50] ---
    Kuina!
[03:53] ---
    Yes, Father?
[03:55] ---
    What?! You're not gonna fight me?!
[03:59] ---
    Kuina is a girl, but she's even
    stronger than the adults in the dojo.
[04:04] ---
    I say this, even as her parent...
[04:08] ---
    Fine!
[04:10] ---
    Then please come inside.
[04:14] ---
    I can use any I want?
[04:17] ---
    To your heart's content.
[04:21] ---
    All right, then! Let's begin!
[04:24] ---
    Alright! Bring it on!
[04:27] ---
    Bow before the gods!
[04:29] ---
    --What's he doing?
    --He's ridiculous...
[04:32] ---
    Bow to each other!
[04:34] ---
    Begin!
[04:52] ---
    D-Damn it!
[05:01] ---
    You've studied Two-Sword
    Style techniques before?
[05:05] ---
    No! Today's the first time I've
    ever held a bamboo sword!
[05:10] ---
    Today's your first time?
[05:12] ---
    Damn it! I'm strong!
    And I'm gonna get even stronger!
[05:17] ---
    I refuse... I refuse to lose to this girl!
[05:25] ---
    Oww...
[05:27] ---
    Why doesn't he dodge?!
[05:30] ---
    Match over!
[05:33] ---
    He's like a boar.
[05:36] ---
    Come now, Kuina!
[05:37] ---
    It's 10 years too early for an
    amateur to use the Two-Sword Style!
[05:43] ---
    What?!
[05:46] ---
    What? We can fight
    another match, if you want!
[05:51] ---
    Damn it! A loss is a loss!
[05:53] ---
    Yes. It's good to accept
    defeat gracefully. Then, you'll...
[05:56] ---
    Yeah! I'll become a student here!
    Got a problem with that?!
[06:00] ---
    None whatsoever.
[06:02] ---
    I'm going to train lots and lots and lots
[06:07] ---
    and then I will beat you!
[06:11] ---
    Remember that!
[06:15] ---
    That day'll never come.
[07:14] ---
    Match over!
[07:17] ---
    The winner is Kuina,
    with 2000 wins and 0 losses!
[07:20] ---
    D-Damn it...
[07:23] ---
    You're still as weak as ever, Zoro!
[07:27] ---
    You're so pathetic. Especially for a boy.
[07:33] ---
    Hey! Zoro isn't weak!
[07:35] ---
    He's the strongest one
    out of all the guys!
[07:37] ---
    He's even beat grownups!
[07:39] ---
    But he's weaker than me.
[07:43] ---
    Even with two swords,
    a weakling's still a weakling.
[07:47] ---
    You losers'd do good to stay quiet.
    Your howling makes you pitiful.
[08:01] ---
    You lost again, Zoro...
[08:04] ---
    Even after you've grown so strong.
[08:07] ---
    Sensei! Are you
    giving her secret training
[08:10] ---
    'cause she's your daughter?!
[08:12] ---
    Don't cheat!
[08:14] ---
    No, no. I do no such thing.
[08:17] ---
    Zoro did indeed grow stronger.
[08:20] ---
    But Kuina has grown stronger as well.
[08:24] ---
    --Zoro?
    --Zoro?
[08:26] ---
    I'm gonna wash my face.
[08:35] ---
    Damn it!
[08:37] ---
    Why can't I beat Kuina?! Why?! Why?!
[08:41] ---
    I'm gonna be the strongest
    man in the world! So why?!
[08:48] ---
    Tonight... I'm gonna fight her again!
[08:55] ---
    A mere year since he became a pupil...
[08:58] ---
    Zoro's improvement is
    nothing short of spectacular.
[09:01] ---
    He trains incomparably
    more than any of the others.
[09:05] ---
    So I suppose it's only natural.
[09:08] ---
    But... it seems he's still
    no match for Kuina-san.
[09:13] ---
    Female swordsmen are
    faced with immense walls.
[09:18] ---
    As she is now, I cannot
    let her inherit the dojo.
[09:24] ---
    --Father!
    --Kuina-san!
[09:27] ---
    It's not nice to eavesdrop, Kuina.
[09:30] ---
    I will become the world's
    greatest swordsman! You'll see!
[09:37] ---
    Kuina. As a girl...
[09:41] ---
    ...you can never be
    the world's strongest.
[10:06] ---
    Zoro?!
[10:07] ---
    What're you doing out here?
[10:09] ---
    That's my line! What are
    you doing here at this hour?!
[10:17] ---
    I'm here to challenge you
    to your 2001st fight!
[10:20] ---
    I plan to make this
    my last fight with you!
[10:24] ---
    I'm going to end this!
[10:25] ---
    Fight me with a real sword!
[10:28] ---
    You have a real one, don't you?!
[10:32] ---
    Against me?
[10:39] ---
    Sure.
[10:53] ---
    The Wado Ichimonji...
[12:04] ---
    Two real swords are heavy, huh?
[12:07] ---
    It seems you still lack strength!
[12:11] ---
    S-Shut up!
[12:25] ---
    My 2001st win.
[12:35] ---
    Damn it...
[12:38] ---
    Damn it...
[12:41] ---
    This sucks...
[12:48] ---
    I'm the one who should be
    crying out of frustration.
[12:52] ---
    Eh?
[12:54] ---
    You see, when girls grow up,
    they get weaker than men...
[13:00] ---
    Even you'll catch up to me soon...
[13:05] ---
    You're always saying you're going
    to be the world's best swordsman.
[13:10] ---
    My father told me that
    a girl can never be that...
[13:16] ---
    I know...
[13:18] ---
    I know that! But... But it's frustrating!
[13:23] ---
    You're lucky, Zoro. You're a boy.
[13:27] ---
    I want to be the world's
    greatest swordsman, too!
[13:31] ---
    My breasts have even
    started to grow out now...
[13:35] ---
    If only... If only I had
    been born a man...
[13:40] ---
    Don't be whining like
    that after you beat me!
[13:43] ---
    That's not fair! You're my goal!
[13:47] ---
    --Zoro...
    --Boy this, girl that!
[13:50] ---
    Are you gonna say that stuff
    too when I beat you someday?!
[13:53] ---
    You act like none of it is skill!
[13:55] ---
    You're insulting all the hard
    training I've been doing!
[13:59] ---
    So don't say that stuff!
[14:04] ---
    Promise me!
[14:05] ---
    Someday, one of us will be
    the world's greatest swordsman!
[14:10] ---
    We'll compete to see who gets there!
[14:19] ---
    You dummy. You're so weak...
[14:24] ---
    --It's a promise!
    --It's a promise!
[14:36] ---
    Whoa...
[14:37] ---
    She's gotten even stronger than before!
[14:46] ---
    Gotta get stronger! So I can
    hold lots of swords just fine!
[14:50] ---
    If two's not enough,
    then I'll use three!
[14:58] ---
    What do you guys want?
[15:03] ---
    Kuina...
[15:05] ---
    Kuina's dead...
[15:19] ---
    Apparently, she slipped and fell
    down the storehouse steps...
[15:24] ---
    Storehouse?
[15:25] ---
    Seems she was looking for a sharpening
    stone for her beloved sword.
[15:30] ---
    What would she need that for?
[15:31] ---
    I don't know...
[15:33] ---
    She was just a child, too...
[15:35] ---
    There's just no understanding people...
[15:37] ---
    No one knows what's
    just around the corner...
[17:11] ---
    People are such fragile things, Zoro...
[17:19] ---
    Kuina... She was a very
    competitive girl...
[17:24] ---
    She practiced in this dojo
    since she was little,
[17:28] ---
    and achieved strength
    that exceeded even adults.
[17:32] ---
    Because of this,
    she became a bit self-conceited...
[17:37] ---
    But then that's when
    you appeared, Zoro.
[17:42] ---
    I thank you.
[17:45] ---
    You grew ever stronger, so she
    started to practice even more,
[17:48] ---
    so as not to lose to you.
[17:51] ---
    So as not to lose to a boy...
[17:56] ---
    And she had begun to break down
    the walls of female swordsmanship...
[18:03] ---
    ...but I'm an ordinary parent, too.
[18:09] ---
    When I look at you now,
    I feel pained, too...
[18:26] ---
    Sensei...
[18:29] ---
    Let me have... that sword...
[18:35] ---
    Kuina's sword?
[18:38] ---
    I'm going to get stronger for her, too!
[18:42] ---
    I'm going to get strong enough
    that my name reaches to Heaven!
[18:46] ---
    I'm going to be the world's
    strongest swordsman!
[18:51] ---
    I promised her...
[18:55] ---
    I...
[19:04] ---
    Yes. You can have it.
[19:11] ---
    I leave Kuina's spirit
    and dreams... with you.
[20:00] ---
    Eight years since then...
[20:03] ---
    You're finally going to set out, then?
[20:06] ---
    Yes, Sensei.
[20:09] ---
    To fulfill our promise.
[20:24] ---
    Zoro!
[20:29] ---
    Take care.
[20:36] ---
    Huh? That was way off!
[20:39] ---
    What are you guys doing?!
[20:40] ---
    Cannon practice!
[20:42] ---
    But they sure don't fly good!
[20:44] ---
    I'm telling you, let me try!
[20:48] ---
    Judging from the last flying distance...
[20:51] ---
    This should do it.
[20:52] ---
    Fire!
[20:55] ---
    Awesome! You hit it on your first try!
[20:58] ---
    I really hit it...
[21:00] ---
    Whadya think?! I'm awesome when
    it comes to aiming! Impressed?!
[21:03] ---
    Yeah! Yeah!
[21:04] ---
    It's settled! You're our sniper!
[21:07] ---
    What?! I don't get to be captain?!
[21:09] ---
    I'm the captain!
[21:12] ---
    Well, whatever! I'll humor you for now!
[21:15] ---
    But if you do anything too cowardly,
    I'm taking over immediately!
[21:19] ---
    Yeah, that's fine.
[21:20] ---
    But anyways, I was thinking, there's
    one other position we need to fill
[21:24] ---
    before going into the Grand Line!
[21:26] ---
    Yeah! We have a fancy kitchen, too!
    If you pay me, I can do it!
[21:31] ---
    An important necessity
    for long trips, right?
[21:33] ---
    Yeah! All pirate ships need one, huh?!
[21:36] ---
    A musician!
[21:37] ---
    Are you an idiot?!
[21:39] ---
    What do you see voyages as?!
[21:41] ---
    Just when it seemed you were
    gonna say something smart...
[21:44] ---
    But pirates sing, you know!
[21:49] ---
    Come out, you damn pirates!
[21:53] ---
    What the... What the... Who are you?!
[21:56] ---
    Shut up! Who I am
    doesn't amount to crap!
[22:02] ---
    How many are there?
[22:05] ---
    One... I think?
[22:07] ---
    Then leave it to him.
[22:09] ---
    "Sea" Then leave it to him.
[22:09] ---
    "Sea"
    We've taken the heads of many a pirate!
[22:13] ---
    "Sea"
    Are you nameless pirate
    wannabes trying to kill my partner?!
[22:14] ---
    Are you nameless pirate
    wannabes trying to kill my partner?!
[22:18] ---
    That voice...
[22:19] ---
    What do you mean, "partner"?!
[22:21] ---
    I dunno what's going on,
    but stop breaking our ship!
[22:27] ---
    L-Lost by a hair...
[22:32] ---
    What's going on?
[22:35] ---
    Hey! Is that you, Johnny?!
[22:38] ---
    Who's saying my name all familiar-like?!
[22:44] ---
    B-Big Bro Zoro?!
[22:46] ---
    It is you, Johnny!
[22:47] ---
    What are you doing here, Big Bro?!
[22:49] ---
    Where's Yosaku? Isn't he with you?
[22:51] ---
    What now? What now?
[22:53] ---
    You guys know each other?
[22:55] ---
    When I was little, I had
    a vision of a treasure map
[23:09] ---
    and I always searched
    for that miraculous place
[23:16] ---
    before someone else could
    beat me to it
[23:25] ---
    If the world is going to change
[23:37] ---
    before I can even attain my dream
[23:44] ---
    then take me to the time
    when I knew nothing
[23:51] ---
    so that my memories won't fade
[24:10] ---
    I guess we need a cook, huh?
[24:12] ---
    They say there's a "Sea Restaurant."
[24:14] ---
    --A navy ship's firing its cannons!
    --Alright! Leave it to me!
[24:17] ---
    The restaurant's that way, you idiot!
[24:18] ---
    I'll go apologize!
[24:20] ---
    What's taking so long?!
[24:21] ---
    Let's check it out and get some food!
[24:22] ---
    --Huh?! A fight?!
    --What's with him?
[24:24] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[24:26] ---
    "Famous Cook!
    Sanji of the Sea Restaurant"
[24:29] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
