**[00:20] ---**
In pursuit of Luffy, four of the
Straw Hats and the Franky Family
**[00:25] ---**
were nearing the courthouse. However...
**[00:27] ---**
Take us to the courthouse, Gomorrah!
**[00:39] ---**
Gomorrah!
**[00:45] ---**
Dammit! Who are they?!
***SIGN*** "Guilty"
**[00:56] ---**
Not gonna be that easy... you damn trash.
**[01:03] ---**
All right! The second one is down, too!
**[01:07] ---**
If we get surrounded in a place
like this, we'll be goners!
***SIGN*** "Courthouse" "Rocketman"
**[01:12] ---**
Meanwhile, Sogeking was
around the main island front gate.
**[01:26] ---**
All right! Oimo and Kashii are back in business!
**[01:30] ---**
Oh, no...
**[01:34] ---**
We don't have much energy
left to fight guys like them.
**[01:39] ---**
Is this it for us?!
**[01:46] ---**
How...
**[01:49] ---**
...dare you...
**[01:52] ---**
Huh?
**[01:54] ---**
...deceive us?!
**[02:00] ---**
Before we rejoice over
the safety of our bosses...
**[02:03] ---**
Before we grieve over our wasted years...
**[02:05] ---**
We'll take out all our anger
on them in a furious rampage!
**[02:10] ---**
Let's go together... king of snipers!
**[02:15] ---**
Sogeking is now headed to Luffy
and the others with Oimo and Kashii.
**[02:19] ---**
No need for formality! Hoist the
counterattack signal this time for sure!
**[02:23] ---**
Hurry to our comrades!
**[02:29] ---**
--This tastes terrible.
--You'll soon notice how big the change is.
**[02:34] ---**
This is the birth of new
Devil Fruit power-holders.
**[02:37] ---**
I look forward to seeing those powers.
**[02:39] ---**
Get a handle on your own powers
at least, while you have a chance.
***SIGN*** "Courthouse"
**[02:43] ---**
Around the same time, Luffy was
waging a fierce battle against Blueno
**[02:47] ---**
on the rooftop of the courthouse.
**[02:55] ---**
Iron Body!
**[02:58] ---**
Wheel!
**[03:09] ---**
Door-Door!
**[03:15] ---**
A-A door just opened on the ground!
**[03:17] ---**
Door-Door.
**[03:22] ---**
Wh-What the heck?!
Were there small doors here?!
**[03:26] ---**
Crap! I got stuck! Dammit!
**[03:32] ---**
Revolving Door.
**[03:36] ---**
What?! What?!
Wh-What's going on?! I feel dizzy!
**[03:42] ---**
Wh-Wh-Which way is forward?! Stop!
**[03:44] ---**
Tempest Kick!
**[03:59] ---**
Hey, Cook!
**[04:00] ---**
Yeah, I saw it.
**[04:02] ---**
Luffy's already fighting CP9.
**[04:05] ---**
What?!
**[04:13] ---**
There's only one path left!
**[04:15] ---**
Yeah, we're gonna make
a dash for the courthouse!
**[04:19] ---**
That's the only choice we have.
**[04:22] ---**
All right, let's go, guys!
**[04:24] ---**
--Yeah!
--Wait!
**[04:27] ---**
All of you, don't get off!
**[04:30] ---**
Chopper?!
**[04:36] ---**
Hold on tight!
**[04:44] ---**
Gomorrah... Gomorrah says so!
**[04:53] ---**
Go! Gomorrah!
**[04:57] ---**
*Get running, get running,
holding our flag high in the sky*
**[05:09] ---**
*Let's cross this endless sea to go in search of*
**[05:15] ---**
*a global miracle no one
has yet been able to find*
**[05:21] ---**
*With our hearts pounding,
we'll just charge ahead as we please*
**[05:26] ---**
*following the footprints of
those who chase their dreams*
**[05:33] ---**
*No matter how stormy the night,
if we join our hearts as one,*
**[05:39] ---**
*we will be able to make it through*
**[05:43] ---**
*Always!*
**[05:45] ---**
*Get running, get running,
holding our flag high in the sky*
**[05:51] ---**
*Even though there are tears
we don't want anyone to see*
**[05:57] ---**
*Chase it, chase it,
if we want to achieve our dream,*
**[06:03] ---**
*we should always look
straight ahead without fear*
**[06:06] ---**
*We can't stop here*
**[06:08] ---**
*Around the world*
**[06:11] ---**
*Start me up!*
**[06:15] ---**
*Get running, get running,
head past everyone else*
**[06:21] ---**
*So long as we don't run from it,
we can grasp tomorrow in our hands*
**[06:27] ---**
*Chase it, chase it,
everything we see before us,*
**[06:33] ---**
*let's carve it into the blank pages of our hearts*
**[06:38] ---**
*Brand New World*
**[06:41] ---**
*Start me up!*
***SIGN*** "Almost to Luffy!
Gather at the Courthouse Plaza!"
**[07:15] ---**
Hey, Gomorrah! Why are you
trying to crash yourself into walls?!
**[07:19] ---**
What's going on? So he can't go on after all?!
**[07:27] ---**
Th-That's not it! He can't see!
**[07:29] ---**
--What?!
--His eyesight has weakened
because his retinas got hurt!
**[07:35] ---**
What?! You can't see?!
**[07:42] ---**
It started running like crazy!
**[07:44] ---**
Don't break the encirclement!
Stop the monster!
**[07:47] ---**
What're you doing?!
Fire the trench mortars already!
**[07:53] ---**
Stop, Gomorrah!
**[07:55] ---**
You're in no shape to keep running anymore!
**[08:01] ---**
He says that he promised Sodom!
**[08:06] ---**
He said to Sodom, "Leave the rest to me!
**[08:09] ---**
I'll run with everyone on my back for you!"
**[08:15] ---**
Gomorrah...
**[08:20] ---**
They were inside its stomach?
**[08:23] ---**
I can't eat anymore. I'm full.
**[08:26] ---**
Let's take them back
with us for emergency food.
**[08:31] ---**
Bro! There's trouble! Some pirates
beat up Sodom and Gomorrah!
**[08:37] ---**
You've got some nerve
messing with my underlings!
**[08:46] ---**
Hey! You're injured!
Don't dance! Sodom! Gomorrah!
**[08:58] ---**
There's a dead end ahead!
He'll crash into it and die!
**[09:01] ---**
Gomorrah! Stop! Don't run randomly!
**[09:04] ---**
Stop!
**[09:07] ---**
Dead end? Do you see one?
**[09:10] ---**
Nope... I don't see anything of the sort.
**[09:53] ---**
It's the courthouse, Gomorrah!
**[10:00] ---**
W-We're here! Gomorrah!
**[10:05] ---**
This report is for all units!
**[10:07] ---**
The King Bull with the pirates on it broke
through the encirclement in Block D!
***SIGN*** "Courthouse" "Tower of Law"
**[10:10] ---**
They've just reached the courthouse plaza!
**[10:13] ---**
I repeat! The pirates...!
**[10:18] ---**
Look at this... Funkfreed.
**[10:26] ---**
It's a golden transponder snail.
**[10:29] ---**
Just like the authority to exercise Buster Call,
**[10:31] ---**
this shiny transponder snail
is indeed a valuable item
**[10:34] ---**
that can only be carried with the permission
**[10:37] ---**
of someone ranked admiral or
above in Navy Headquarters.
**[10:41] ---**
In order for me to exercise Buster Call,
Aokiji temporarily entrusted it to me.
**[10:48] ---**
Just wait and see! Once the revival
of the weapon becomes reality,
**[10:52] ---**
I'll be able to carry this myself, instead of
having some admiral entrust it to me,
**[10:57] ---**
and control troops at will.
**[11:03] ---**
Buster Call...
**[11:06] ---**
I'm exercising a Buster Call.
**[11:08] ---**
Commence concerted fire!
**[11:10] ---**
We're targeting everything on Ohara,
the island of archaeology!
**[11:20] ---**
Just by pressing this button,
an entire island can be wiped out.
**[11:25] ---**
Authority can be like a weapon too, huh?
**[11:29] ---**
Chief Spandam!
**[11:30] ---**
Ahhhh! That scared me!
**[11:34] ---**
What's your problem?! Knock on the door first!
**[11:37] ---**
I almost accidentally pressed the button!
**[11:40] ---**
I-I'm sorry. But I was told
that this is an emergency.
**[11:44] ---**
There's a call from the Enies Lobby main island!
**[11:47] ---**
What?! A call?! They should've
called this room directly!
**[11:52] ---**
Hm? Hey! The receiver is off!
**[11:55] ---**
This happens all the time! Who's behind it?!
**[11:58] ---**
Hm? You just said that it's an
emergency or something, didn't you?
**[12:02] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[12:11] ---**
Spanda!
**[12:20] ---**
Hey, Nico Robin!
**[12:22] ---**
There seems to be an emergency report
from the Enies Lobby main island.
**[12:27] ---**
It's probably not really an emergency,
but you can guess what it's about, right?
**[12:34] ---**
What happened to Straw Hat Luffy,
**[12:38] ---**
who worked hard to beat up
a whole five soldiers...
**[12:42] ---**
How your friends got stomped
**[12:44] ---**
by the strongest gatekeepers,
Oimo and Kashii...
**[12:51] ---**
Let's hear together what happened to the idiots
**[12:53] ---**
who went against the World Government!
**[12:57] ---**
You're so low!
**[12:58] ---**
Shut up, you punk!
**[13:04] ---**
Hey, guard!
**[13:06] ---**
This is Spandam.
**[13:08] ---**
Oh, is this the Chief?! Good!
I can finally give you a report!
**[13:14] ---**
I don't know where to start.
**[13:17] ---**
Calm down, you idiot! You wanna
talk about the Straw Hats, right?
**[13:20] ---**
What happened after the
last report? Oh, wait! Listen.
**[13:24] ---**
When you report, summarize
the crucial points briefly
**[13:27] ---**
and explain them clearly with a loud voice.
**[13:29] ---**
--Yes, sir! The invaders--
--Did you accidentally kill them?
**[13:33] ---**
Well, that's their own fault for being so weak.
**[13:35] ---**
The pirates, who number about sixty,
**[13:38] ---**
have invaded and pushed
into the courthouse plaza,
**[13:41] ---**
the farthest point in the
Enies Lobby main island!
**[13:50] ---**
To all units on Enies Lobby main island!
**[13:53] ---**
All soldiers! Head to the
courthouse plaza immediately!
**[13:59] ---**
You did a good job, Gomorrah!
**[14:01] ---**
We won't waste the boost
you two brothers gave us!
**[14:07] ---**
We're gonna attack, guys!
We'll rescue Big Bro Franky!
**[14:12] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:15] ---**
The pirates have reached the courthouse plaza!
**[14:53] ---**
Can you see Luffy?
**[14:55] ---**
No.
**[15:01] ---**
If the rooftop is that high,
we can't just climb up there.
**[15:06] ---**
No... It's not like we're made of rubber.
**[15:10] ---**
How many CP9 members did you see?
**[15:12] ---**
It was only the big horn guy we saw.
**[15:17] ---**
It's hard to believe that all of
them are in a place like that
**[15:19] ---**
with Robin-chan and Franky.
**[15:23] ---**
In any case, we have to
catch up with Luffy quickly!
**[15:26] ---**
We have to hurry up and rescue Robin!
**[15:27] ---**
Hurry to the courthouse plaza!
**[15:29] ---**
The drawbridge isn't down yet! Corner them!
**[15:44] ---**
Ribbit!
**[15:54] ---**
Whoa! What an amazing frog!
**[15:56] ---**
That's the iron ball that knocked
down Gomorrah! Who did that?!
**[16:01] ---**
Ribbit!
**[16:02] ---**
Over there! They're running away!
There are three of them!
**[16:06] ---**
Why are they running away?
They're the ones who started the attack.
**[16:09] ---**
You idiot! It's a waste of time chasing
after each enemy who runs away!
**[16:30] ---**
Shut up. I just went to check.
**[16:35] ---**
It wouldn't hurt to know what kind
of enemies would attack us, would it?
**[16:39] ---**
Whoa! He brought him down!
**[16:43] ---**
What is this guy?!
**[16:44] ---**
He must have Herculean strength
to swing around something like this!
**[16:48] ---**
Does he belong to a special
unit like the Watchdogs?
**[16:51] ---**
There may be more hiding. Be careful.
**[16:58] ---**
Now, let's hurry up.
The guards are closing in on us.
**[17:01] ---**
Corner them!
**[17:03] ---**
They're not gonna be able to open the
courthouse's heavy stone doors anyway!
**[17:06] ---**
Bring them down here in the plaza!
**[17:08] ---**
Come to think of it, these are huge doors.
**[17:15] ---**
How will we...
**[17:17] ---**
...get them open...?
**[17:21] ---**
Get a move on! I'll go on ahead!
**[17:24] ---**
H-He cut through that thick stone!
**[17:28] ---**
Zambai!
**[17:30] ---**
We'll split up and go to both sides
**[17:33] ---**
in order to pull down the drawbridge's levers!
**[17:35] ---**
O-Okay! I'm counting on you guys!
**[17:38] ---**
All right! We'll split into three groups!
**[17:42] ---**
Those who come with me will thoroughly
clean house inside the courthouse!
**[17:45] ---**
I don't need many!
**[17:46] ---**
Good luck, guys! Disperse!
***SIGN*** "Courthouse" "Tower of Law"
**[18:02] ---**
Huh?
**[18:03] ---**
Also, the giant gatekeepers
at the main island front gate,
**[18:06] ---**
Oimo and Kashii, went over to the pirates' side!
**[18:08] ---**
They're currently around the center of the
main island running towards the courthouse!
**[18:12] ---**
Get outta our way!
**[18:20] ---**
The casualties of our guards are...
**[18:23] ---**
...over 2,000!
**[18:25] ---**
N-Not five...?
**[18:27] ---**
And the captain, Straw Hat Luffy,
who beat over 1,000 all by himself,
**[18:32] ---**
suddenly disappeared, so we're
searching for him right now!
**[18:38] ---**
This is probably unprecedented--
the worst situation we've had
**[18:42] ---**
in the history of Enies Lobby!
**[18:50] ---**
Blueno...
**[18:52] ---**
What's he doing in a place like that?
**[18:59] ---**
What's going on?
**[19:01] ---**
What the hell is happening
on this island right now?!
**[19:38] ---**
My face door finally closed!
**[19:40] ---**
Of course. An opened door is meant to close.
**[19:44] ---**
I'm surprised that you could
dodge the tempest kick.
**[19:47] ---**
Yeah. Well, it's a piece of cake.
**[19:50] ---**
I resent that.
**[19:55] ---**
You jerk!
**[19:58] ---**
He jumped!
**[20:02] ---**
Finger Pistol!
**[20:04] ---**
Shave!
**[20:05] ---**
Iron Body! Smash!
**[20:09] ---**
Gum-Gum... Bullet!
**[20:12] ---**
Iron Body!
**[20:19] ---**
Tempest Kick!
**[20:34] ---**
He's completely keeping up with my speed.
**[20:37] ---**
He changed the course of the Tempest Kick!
**[20:41] ---**
He's got unbelievable physical abilities!
**[20:45] ---**
No good.
**[20:46] ---**
Hm?
**[20:47] ---**
I'm no good like this.
**[20:51] ---**
When Aokiji defeated me, I thought...
**[20:55] ---**
"If I am to encounter more
strong guys like him in the future,
**[20:59] ---**
I won't be able to protect my friends...
unless I become stronger."
**[21:06] ---**
I have friends I want by my side
even if they're not strong.
**[21:12] ---**
So if I don't get stronger
than anyone, I'll lose all of them.
**[21:18] ---**
Then what're you gonna do?
**[21:21] ---**
I came up with a way to
fight with all my might...
**[21:25] ---**
...so that I won't lose anyone...
**[21:30] ---**
So that no one will go far away.
**[21:33] ---**
What's he doing?
What's happening inside his body?!
**[21:40] ---**
You'll now... no longer be
able to keep up with me.
**[21:44] ---**
What?
**[21:46] ---**
All my techniques will evolve one step further.
**[21:53] ---**
Second... Gear!
**[22:03] ---**
*We fight harder against
the wall that confronts us*
**[22:07] ---**
*We charge ahead stronger
with overflowing power*
**[22:11] ---**

have to give up everything*
**[22:15] ---**

**[22:43] ---**
*We don't fear, and we don't waver*
**[22:45] ---**
*No matter what happens,
in the end we'll surely...*
**[22:49] ---**
*We fight harder against
the wall that confronts us*
**[22:53] ---**
*We charge ahead stronger
with overflowing power*
**[22:57] ---**
*We won't fear even if we
have to give up everything*
**[23:01] ---**
*Charge ahead*
**[23:03] ---**
*Let's start running towards tomorrow*
**[23:05] ---**
*Because it's all to ensure we smile in the end*
**[23:15] ---**
I'm glad that I met you guys here.
**[23:18] ---**
Hmph! What kind of bluff is that?
**[23:20] ---**
You'll now... no longer be
able to keep up with me.
**[23:23] ---**
Can't be...! I can't see him at all!
**[23:27] ---**
Gum-Gum...!
**[23:29] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:31] ---**
"Everything Is to Protect My Friends!
Second Gear Activated!"
**[23:35] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
**[23:37] ---**
