[00:15] ---
    Wealth, fame, power...
[00:17] ---
    Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,
[00:19] ---
    once attained everything
    this world has to offer.
[00:21] ---
    The words he uttered just before his death
[00:23] ---
    drove people around the world to the seas.
[00:25] ---
    My treasure? If you want it, you can have it!
[00:28] ---
    Find it! I left everything
    this world has to offer there!
[00:34] ---
    And so men rushed onto the
    Grand Line in pursuit of romanticism!
[00:39] ---
    The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
[00:43] ---
    We’re going to gather up all our dreams
[00:49] ---
    and set out in search of something to find
[00:54] ---
    ONE PIECE!
[01:01] ---
    Compasses only cause delays
[01:06] ---
    Delirious with fever, I take the helm
[01:12] ---
    If the dusty treasure map has
    been verified, it’s not a legend!
[01:24] ---
    When it comes to personal storms,
[01:30] ---
    simply ride aboard someone else’s biorhythm
[01:35] ---
    and pretend it isn’t there!
[01:39] ---
    We’re going to gather up all our dreams
[01:44] ---
    and set out in search of something to find
[01:50] ---
    A coin in my pocket,
    and you wanna be my friend?
[01:56] ---
    We are, We are on the cruise!
[02:02] ---
    We are!
[02:06] ---
    Wealth, fame, power...
[02:11] ---
    Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,
[02:13] ---
    once attained everything
    this world has to offer.
[02:16] ---
    The words he uttered just before his death
[02:19] ---
    drove people around the world to the seas.
[02:23] ---
    My treasure? If you want it, you can have it!
[02:27] ---
    Find it! I left everything
    this world has to offer there!
[02:32] ---
    And so men rushed onto the
    Grand Line in pursuit of romanticism!
[02:37] ---
    The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
[02:50] ---
    Live as you please, Luffy.
[02:53] ---
    In the flow of time, as a result of
    various circumstances and strong spirits,
[02:59] ---
    people come to question the world they live in!
[03:01] ---
    The day we meet will come at some point.
[03:08] ---
    The judicial island Enies Lobby is the front door
[03:11] ---
    that leads to the World Government,
    a huge organization.
[03:15] ---
    Now that they've caused it to fall,
[03:16] ---
    neither the Navy nor pirates
    will leave them alone.
[03:19] ---
    You can say that the Straw Hats
    are now known all around the world.
[03:24] ---
    And so is this wanted poster.
[03:28] ---
    Sanji! You're the best!
[03:32] ---
    Isn't this incredible?!
    It's the spitting image of him!
[03:45] ---
    He pulled one crazy stunt!
[03:48] ---
    Hey, look! It's an article on Straw Hat!
[03:50] ---
    Looks like he toppled the Tower of Justice.
[03:53] ---
    His bounty is going to skyrocket after that!
[03:58] ---
    Enies Lobby is famous
    for Water Seven's sea train.
[04:02] ---
    It isn't that far from here...
[04:05] ---
    This must be a twist of fate.
[04:08] ---
    For them to be within range...
    What a pitiable, unfortunate crew.
[04:19] ---
    Let's go, Captain!
[04:22] ---
    Of course we're going!
[04:27] ---
    Come on! Get ready to set sail!
[04:29] ---
    We're about to get busy!
[04:31] ---
    Hey!
[04:32] ---
    Hold it, Teach!
[04:34] ---
    I've been looking for you.
[04:35] ---
    What?
[04:44] ---
    Go back three days before the
    world was shocked and amazed
[04:48] ---
    by the Straw Hat Pirates' wanted posters.
[04:52] ---
    There was an event that
    occurred on a certain island.
[04:56] ---
    This is Banaro Island on the Grand Line.
[05:02] ---
    "The Most Heinous Power!
    Blackbeard's Darkness Attacks Ace"
[05:18] ---
    Oh, Ace! Commander!
[05:23] ---
    Don't call me "Commander" after all this time.
[05:25] ---
    That word is meant to be
    reserved for people you respect.
[05:29] ---
    Don't mock me.
[05:31] ---
    Oh, so you must be "Fire Fist" Ace.
[05:35] ---
    Yeah, that's me. Nice to meet you!
[05:38] ---
    I see... you've already become
    a great captain in your own right.
[05:43] ---
    Isn't that right, Captain Marshall D. Teach
    of the Blackbeard Pirates?
[05:49] ---
    Jeez, Ace! I haven't seen you in ages!
[05:53] ---
    So what's the deal?
    How'd you know I was here?
[05:57] ---
    Teach, let's cut the idle talk!
[06:01] ---
    You should know the rules, having lived
    through twice as much as others.
[06:07] ---
    Isn't that right?
[06:18] ---
    Yeah, I get it.
[06:20] ---
    But let me say something first!
[06:23] ---
    What do you say, Ace?
    Why don't you join my crew?
[06:29] ---
    Seize the world with me!
[06:31] ---
    I've already planned out how
    I'm going to rise up in power!
[06:34] ---
    Whitebeard's reign is over!
    I'll become the next Pirate King!
[06:39] ---
    For starters, I'm gonna kill
    Straw Hat Luffy, who is in Water Seven,
[06:44] ---
    as a gift to the Government!
[06:47] ---
    Luffy? What did you just say?
[06:51] ---
    Oh! You know him?!
[06:54] ---
    Another reason I can't let you go free!
[06:57] ---
    He's my brother!
[06:59] ---
    What?
[07:01] ---
    And naturally, there is no way I'm going to...
[07:08] ---
    ...join your crew.
[07:09] ---
    Damn!
[07:20] ---
    One of your men could use a lesson in manners!
[07:22] ---
    Fire Gun!
[07:32] ---
    Flame Commandment!
[07:34] ---
    Fire Pillar!
[07:42] ---
    Auger, Burgess! Keep outta this!
[07:46] ---
    You don't stand a chance
    against that man. Stay back!
[07:50] ---
    --Sorry!
    --Fire Fist!
[08:01] ---
    --Captain!
    --Aw, that burns!
[08:03] ---
    Captain!
[08:04] ---
    Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
[08:08] ---
    I'm burning!
[08:14] ---
    Hot, hot, hot, hot!
[08:29] ---
    Wow, hot, hot!
[08:35] ---
    Captain!
[08:36] ---
    Damn it! Hot, hot, hot, hot!
[08:40] ---
    Shut up, men! Give me some space!
[09:20] ---
    I get it, Ace. You're burning
    to kill me, aren't you?
[09:25] ---
    It's no surprise. Murdering a
    crewmate is a grievous crime.
[09:30] ---
    It's true that I killed the
    4th division commander Thatch!
[09:34] ---
    I didn't have a choice! He got his hands on
    the Devil Fruit that I had my sights set on!
[09:40] ---
    The ship's rule dictated that whoever
    found the fruit could eat it, remember?
[09:44] ---
    I memorized what every fruit
    in the book looked like,
[09:47] ---
    so I knew it was the one I'd been
    looking for the second I saw it!
[09:51] ---
    The only reason I spent all those
    decades on Whitebeard's ship
[09:55] ---
    was because I figured that was
    the most likely place to find it!
[10:01] ---
    I woulda given up if fortune
    hadn't smiled down on me,
[10:04] ---
    but that fruit fell into my friend's hands!
[10:10] ---
    So then you killed Thatch and stole it?
[10:16] ---
    Well, that's how the ball bounces.
[10:18] ---
    This ability chose me, Ace!
[10:25] ---
    It has made me the most
    powerful person out there, Ace!
[10:29] ---
    Look! It's rare, even for a Logia type.
[10:37] ---
    Ace, isn't your body made out of fire?
[10:47] ---
    Mine is darkness!
[10:51] ---
    Look! It's the same black smoke from earlier.
[10:54] ---
    Those pirates are still in town.
[10:57] ---
    They're still going at it?
    If they destroy any more of our village...!
[11:02] ---
    Keep away from them!
    Our only option is to run!
[11:11] ---
    Darkness...?
[11:14] ---
    That's right, Commander Ace. You can't kill me.
[11:19] ---
    It's said that this is the most
    evil power in Devil Fruit history.
[11:24] ---
    It's the Logia Devil Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit.
[11:27] ---
    I've become a man made of darkness.
[11:30] ---
    I'll give you a taste of just how powerful it is!
[11:37] ---
    Go ahead and try.
[11:42] ---
    What are you doing?! Hurry!
[11:43] ---
    The captain is about to cut loose!
[11:45] ---
    If we don't hurry away from here,
    we'll get caught in the attack!
[11:49] ---
    Stand right back up!
[12:23] ---
    The darkness gushing from his body
    is crawling across the ground!
[12:27] ---
    Creepy! It's pitch black, almost like
    there is a hole in the ground.
[12:31] ---
    It's scary how it feels like it could absorb you.
[12:33] ---
    Hurry and get away!
    Get as far away as you can!
[12:38] ---
    Go through the forest!
    Run all the way to the beach!
[12:47] ---
    Darkness is gravity!
    It has the power to pull everything in!
[12:52] ---
    Not even a ray of light can
    escape from its infinite gravity!
[12:58] ---
    But you're up against me...
    and I'm still untouched.
[13:03] ---
    I'm not going after you just yet.
[13:06] ---
    You can stay there and
    enjoy the view of the town.
[13:11] ---
    Black Hole!
[14:16] ---
    The ground is devouring the town!
[14:19] ---
    Why? Wh-What's going on?
[14:28] ---
    Dark gravity uses its limitless power
    to condense objects and crush them!
[14:49] ---
    Is this a nightmare? Our village is...
[15:02] ---
    And now I'll show you what
    happened to the missing village.
[15:06] ---
    Behold the shambled mess it has become!
[15:09] ---
    Liberation!
[15:37] ---
    Our village... has been reduced to rubble...
[15:49] ---
    Now do you get it, Ace?
[15:51] ---
    This is the power I've obtained!
[15:56] ---
    Firefly!
[15:58] ---
    Fiery Doll!
[16:02] ---
    Hot, hot, hot, hot!
[16:05] ---
    That burns!
[16:08] ---
    --I fully understand how great
    the power of darkness is.
    --Hot, hot, hot, hot!
[16:11] ---
    But here's what puzzles me...
[16:13] ---
    --If it's a Logia, these attacks
    should go right through you.
    --Dang, this is hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!
[16:29] ---
    I already told you:
    Darkness draws everything in,
[16:33] ---
    including bullets, swords,
    punches, fire, and lightning!
[16:37] ---
    Unlike the rest of you, I don't get the
    option of letting stuff pass through me!
[16:40] ---
    My body feels far worse pain than the
    average person in every way possible!
[16:47] ---
    But in exchange for accepting that risk,
    there is one other thing...
[16:50] ---
    ...that I am able to absorb.
[16:53] ---
    Vortex!
[16:59] ---
    To be exact, dark gravity has the ability
[17:00] ---
    to draw in a Devil Fruit
    power holder's physical body.
[17:07] ---
    Gravity?!
[17:12] ---
    And my body...
[17:20] ---
    Well? Have you figured it out, Ace?
[17:27] ---
    It couldn't be...!
[17:53] ---
    I bet it's been a while since someone's
    landed a punch on you, eh, Ace?
[17:59] ---
    I think that you got it when I grabbed you!
[18:05] ---
    Another thing that my darkness drags in is...
[18:08] ---
    ...Devil Fruit powers!
[18:12] ---
    That means that while I'm touching them,
[18:14] ---
    Devil Fruit power holders
    can't use any of their powers!
[18:19] ---
    Logia, Zoan, and Paramythia!
[18:22] ---
    Against a world of Devil Fruit power holders
    who are overconfident in their abilities,
[18:26] ---
    I've obtained a means of attack
    that cannot be defended against!
[18:32] ---
    So I just can't let you catch me, right?
[18:34] ---
    I already proved that you can't
    escape from my dark gravity!
[18:38] ---
    Vortex!
[18:43] ---
    St. Elmo's Fire!
[18:46] ---
    Take this!
[19:03] ---
    Damn it! The fire lances...!
[19:07] ---
    He messed up some vertebrae!
[19:11] ---
    His new power is a pain...!
[19:15] ---
    Cross Fire!
[19:28] ---
    Banana Rock...! It's collapsing!
[19:32] ---
    What's going on? They can't be humans!
[19:38] ---
    Forget the village! What is going
    to happen... to our whole island?!
[19:53] ---
    I had assumed that Devil Fruit power holders
    were so preoccupied with their powers
[19:57] ---
    that they would be pushovers
    once they lost them.
[20:01] ---
    But I should have expected one
    of Whitebeard's commanders
[20:06] ---
    to be a fearsome fighter
    in basic combat as well.
[20:15] ---
    Now then, today brings us
    to another crossroad of fates.
[20:37] ---
    Everything is rendered
    powerless before darkness!
[20:40] ---
    Even someone as powerful as you.
[20:44] ---
    But this makes me want
    your power all the more.
[20:48] ---
    Ace, join my crew!
[20:58] ---
    If I yield to power, there's no
    point in being born a man.
[21:04] ---
    I'll never leave anything to
    be regretted later in my life!
[21:07] ---
    Do you understand, stupid?
[21:11] ---
    How long can you live like that in this world?
[21:13] ---
    It's a pity, Ace!
[21:19] ---
    Die in darkness!
[21:21] ---
    Flame Commandment...
[21:31] ---
    Flame Emperor!
[21:41] ---
    The sun or the darkness--
    there'll be only one winner!
[21:46] ---
    I'm gonna make Whitebeard the king!
[22:22] ---
    The "Decisive Battle of Banaro Island"
    on the Grand Line...
[22:26] ---
    The fight between these two pirates...
[22:30] ---
    ...will be described as the trigger for a
    massive incident that is soon to take place.
[22:45] ---
    We're hitting the sea of adventure!
[22:47] ---
    Head straight for Fishman Island!
[22:49] ---
    No, no, no, no! With the New World nearby,
    we should exercise caution!
[22:54] ---
    Oh, Sanji! There's a ship.
[22:55] ---
    It's missing both a sail and an ensign.
[22:57] ---
    We're sailing full-speed
    toward trouble already?!
[22:59] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:01] ---
    "The Mysterious Band of Pirates!
    Sunny and the Dangerous Trap"
[23:04] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
