    Travel across the oceans of the world
[00:20] ---
    Bellow a battle cry
[00:23] ---
    Once your heart feels refreshed,
    let the signal to set sail ring out
[00:37] ---
    We've left the established course
[00:40] ---
    Right now, we're rowing straight toward
[00:44] ---
    The borderline between the sky and the ocean
[00:49] ---
    In the dark depths of the ocean,
    adventure holds its breath
[00:55] ---
    Don't you have a good time just imagining it?
[01:02] ---
    Travel across the oceans of the world
[01:07] ---
    Bellow a battle cry
[01:09] ---
    Once your heart feels refreshed,
    let the signal to set sail ring out
[01:23] ---
    "That feeling" I get when embarking
[01:26] ---
    Is something I hope to remember always
[01:30] ---
    If I can, I won't be afraid of anything
[01:35] ---
    With our pulses racing,
    let's go on a trip now
[01:42] ---
    Shy hearts engrave the rhythm of adventure
[01:48] ---
    Snatch up the treasure here and there
[01:53] ---
    While laughing out loud
[01:55] ---
    As we dash by like a noisy party
[02:00] ---
    Make some waves...
[02:03] ---
    Life is "Adventurous"
[02:04] ---
    Be aware it's "Dangerous"
[02:06] ---
    Who's gonna be "One of us"
[02:08] ---
    And a trip goes on because
[02:09] ---
    We da pirate of the "Mass"
[02:11] ---
    To the West, To the East
[02:13] ---
    Gotta find my way, Sail away
[02:14] ---
    All the way to "One piece"!!
[02:15] ---
    Stuff a dream into your empty chest
[02:19] ---
    And spread your wings
[02:22] ---
    If the wind blowing through
    them dyes your heart
[02:26] ---
    Let's press forward
[02:28] ---
    Snatch up the treasure here and there
[02:33] ---
    While laughing out loud
[02:35] ---
    As we dash by like a noisy party
[02:39] ---
    Make some waves...
[02:46] ---
    Wealth, fame, power...
[02:51] ---
    Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,
[02:53] ---
    once attained everything
    this world has to offer.
[02:56] ---
    The words he uttered just before his death
[02:59] ---
    drove people around the world to the seas.
[03:03] ---
    My treasure? If you want it, you can have it!
[03:07] ---
    Find it! I left everything
    this world has to offer there!
[03:12] ---
    And so men rushed onto the
    Grand Line in pursuit of romanticism!
[03:17] ---
    The world has truly entered
    a Great Pirate Era!
[03:26] ---
    It isn't night yet, but with this thick fog,
[03:29] ---
    it's creepy how dark it is.
[03:31] ---
    Yep! Don't let your guard down.
[03:34] ---
    From the looks of it, we're already
    caught in the infamous...
[03:39] ---
    ...Florian Triangle!
[03:44] ---
    These seas are haunted!
[03:48] ---
    ♪ Yo ho ho ho ♪
[03:55] ---
    --One appeared!
    --♪ Yo ho ho ho ♪
[03:58] ---
    It's a ghost ship!
[04:02] ---
    ♪ We're on our way... ♪
[04:07] ---
    ♪ ...to deliver Bink's booze ♪
[04:13] ---
    I bet he's the treasure's guardian!
    Let's go look for him.
[04:21] ---
    H-Huh?
[04:25] ---
    No!
[04:28] ---
    You gave me quite a start!
[04:29] ---
    How many decades have passed
    since I saw people in the flesh?
[04:34] ---
    Putting that aside...
[04:37] ---
    ...join my crew!
[04:40] ---
    Yeah, okay.
[04:42] ---
    Hey!
[04:50] ---
    "The Joy of Seeing People!
    The Gentleman Skeleton's True Identity!"
[05:02] ---
    Hi! Hello, everyone! Good day to you.
[05:05] ---
    I shall be imposing upon
    you here on your vessel!
[05:09] ---
    I am the dead and skeletonized Brook.
    It's a pleasure to meet you!
[05:13] ---
    Don't be stupid! And what the heck is he?!
[05:17] ---
    My, my! They're harsh!
[05:22] ---
    It's a skeleton!
[05:28] ---
    Goodness, aren't you a lovely lady?
    May I please see your panties?
[05:32] ---
    Stop that, Harassment Skeleton!
[05:37] ---
    Armed... and... ready!
[05:39] ---
    "Evil Be Gone"
[05:40] ---
    Tada!
[05:42] ---
    You're fully decked out in anti-evil stuff!
[05:45] ---
    S-Stupid skeleton! B-Beat it already!
[05:50] ---
    Evil be gone! Evil be gone!
[05:52] ---
    H-Hey...
[05:53] ---
    Wow, it's working! Usopp, that's amazing!
[05:56] ---
    "Evil Be Gone"
[05:57] ---
    You know it! This is my full
    "Anti-Evil Spirit Arsenal."
[06:02] ---
    An evil spirit?! Where? Where is it?
[06:04] ---
    --It's you!
    --What?!
[06:08] ---
    Damn it! There's no way a skeleton
    can walk, talk, and grow an afro!
[06:12] ---
    This is a dream! It has to be a dream!
[06:15] ---
    Really?!
[06:16] ---
    Phew! It's just a dream...
[06:20] ---
    Hello? Please wake up.
[06:22] ---
    Good morning.
[06:25] ---
    Shuddup!
[06:27] ---
    Hey, Luffy! What's up with this guy?
[06:29] ---
    Isn't he funny? I had him join our crew.
[06:31] ---
    No, you didn't! I won't allow it!
[06:34] ---
    Do you know why you went with him?!
[06:37] ---
    It was to keep Luffy from
    doing anything crazy!
[06:40] ---
    We're ashamed of ourselves...
[06:43] ---
    Now, don't get so worked up.
[06:46] ---
    Come on inside! Let's have dinner.
[06:49] ---
    That's not for you to decide!
[06:53] ---
    You're funny!
[06:58] ---
    Honestly, you have a splendid
    dining room! And that kitchen!
[07:03] ---
    This is all so wonderful!
[07:06] ---
    Isn't it?
[07:07] ---
    You bet it is! It was made
    by someone as super as me!
[07:11] ---
    Man, you've got a pretty keen eye.
[07:14] ---
    Hey! Don't get all chummy with him, Franky.
[07:16] ---
    But I can't wait to eat!
[07:20] ---
    I haven't had a decent meal in decades.
[07:24] ---
    I've had to endure terrible agony every day
[07:27] ---
    as the skin on my belly caved
    in until it touched my back!
[07:32] ---
    But since I'm a skeleton, I don't
    have any skin on my belly or back!
[07:40] ---
    It's a skull joke!
[07:43] ---
    A skull joke!
[07:46] ---
    As a gentleman, I adore the laid-back
    time spent while waiting for my meal.
[07:53] ---
    --Dinner, yay! Dinner! C'mon, baby!
    --Food! Food! Food! Food!
[07:57] ---
    Chef! For my drink, I'll take milk.
[08:01] ---
    Shut up! Wait quietly!
[08:03] ---
    Before I forget, Kroobuckle...
[08:05] ---
    No, I'm Brook.
[08:07] ---
    Um, actually, you'll have to forgive me,
    but I still don't know your name...
[08:12] ---
    Me? I'm Luffy.
[08:14] ---
    So before I forget, what exactly are you?
[08:17] ---
    Just how little do you
    know about each other?!
[08:19] ---
    All right, it's ready!
[08:24] ---
    Help yourselves. We can
    kick the skeleton out later.
[08:27] ---
    For now, enjoy the meal!
    I used up all the octopi.
[08:30] ---
    Looks good!
[08:32] ---
    Hey, Brook! Eat all you want!
[08:34] ---
    Sanji's an awesome cook!
[08:37] ---
    But... my heart feels full
    instead of my stomach...
[08:45] ---
    You're...
[08:46] ---
    Miss, you seem to have gotten a bit more.
[08:48] ---
    Would you mind if we swapped plates?
[08:50] ---
    There's extra, so eat your own!
[08:55] ---
    Aw dese octopuses were awive in da
    aquaweeam undil naw too wong ago!
[09:00] ---
    They were alive until just
    recently in the aquarium?
[09:03] ---
    Your ship has its own aquarium?
[09:05] ---
    You bether beweeb it! Fwanky made
    dis swip and it hash evewyding!
[09:11] ---
    It truly is an amazing ship!
    I've never seen one like it before.
[09:15] ---
    Wanna deck it ow wader?
[09:18] ---
    Yes, I'd love to take a tour!
[09:21] ---
    How could he understand that?
[09:23] ---
    It rocks! Yay! Show it off! C'mon!
[09:26] ---
    Eat quietly!
[09:28] ---
    The Revive-Revive Fruit?
[09:30] ---
    I figured a Devil Fruit was behind this.
[09:33] ---
    Indeed, it is.
[09:35] ---
    To be honest, I have already
    died once, decades ago.
[09:39] ---
    Wipe your face first! How'd you
    manage to get food all over yourself?
[09:45] ---
    The Revive-Revive Fruit lets you...
[09:48] ---
    ...come back to life.
[09:49] ---
    In other words, I'm a revived human.
[09:54] ---
    It guarantees the mysterious
    power of a second shot at life.
[09:58] ---
    A revived human!
[10:00] ---
    So it gave you the power to come
    back to life once after dying?
[10:04] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[10:06] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[10:08] ---
    And a long time ago,
    I was a pirate just like you!
[10:14] ---
    You're a fellow pirate?
[10:16] ---
    That's right. Oh, pardon me.
[10:19] ---
    I wish I could beat some manners into you.
[10:26] ---
    Long, long ago, my crewmates and I
[10:31] ---
    sailed into the Devil's Sea
    on the ship you saw earlier.
[10:36] ---
    However, we had the misfortune of running
    into some terribly powerful pirates.
[10:44] ---
    Our entire crew was
    annihilated in the battle.
[10:51] ---
    Naturally, I died with them.
[10:55] ---
    When I was alive, the Revive-Revive's
    only power was that I couldn't swim.
[11:01] ---
    But on that day, the Fruit's
    power finally took effect!
[11:07] ---
    My soul returned from the Underworld!
[11:24] ---
    My soul should have quickly returned
    to my body, thus reviving me!
[11:28] ---
    But I died on the Devil's Sea and as
    you can see, it is dreadfully foggy.
[11:34] ---
    So I got lost!
[11:38] ---
    My soul wandered through
    the fog for an entire year.
[11:45] ---
    I finally managed to find my body!
[11:51] ---
    But by then, it had already turned
    into a pearly white skeleton!
[12:00] ---
    I was so surprised that my eyes
    nearly popped out of my head.
[12:03] ---
    Not that I have any eyeballs!
[12:07] ---
    What a moron! You're just like Zoro.
[12:11] ---
    Watch it!
[12:12] ---
    And that's how you became a talking skeleton?
[12:15] ---
    It's scary how the Devil's Fruit
    still brought you back
[12:18] ---
    even though you're just a skeleton...
[12:20] ---
    But now that the Fruit has done its job,
[12:23] ---
    isn't it just stealing your ability to swim?
[12:25] ---
    That's practically a curse!
[12:27] ---
    And skeletons normally
    don't have hair, do they?
[12:31] ---
    Who ever heard of a skeleton with an afro?
[12:33] ---
    I had strong roots.
[12:35] ---
    I don't really care.
[12:37] ---
    So you aren't a ghost?
    You're actually a human?
[12:41] ---
    No, you aren't quite human anymore...
[12:43] ---
    Anyway, you aren't a ghost, right?
[12:46] ---
    Right! I hate ghosts!
[12:48] ---
    I'll start screaming if I see one.
[12:52] ---
    You hate ghosts? Have you ever
    taken a look in the mirror?
[12:56] ---
    No! Please put that mirror away!
[13:00] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:01] ---
    Wh-Whoa! T-Time out!
[13:03] ---
    W-Why...
[13:05] ---
    Why doesn't the mirror show your reflection?!
[13:12] ---
    He's a vampire!
[13:15] ---
    Really?! That's awesome!
[13:19] ---
    N-Now that I take a closer look,
    you don't have a shadow!
[13:23] ---
    You're right! What are you, really?
[13:32] ---
    Don't soothe yourself!
[13:33] ---
    We're freaking out! And it's your fault!
[13:37] ---
    I have spent far too many
    years drifting on these seas
[13:41] ---
    to tell my story in one sitting.
[13:45] ---
    The story behind why I am a skeleton
[13:48] ---
    and the story behind why I lack a
    shadow are completely unrelated.
[13:54] ---
    To be continued.
[13:56] ---
    Tell us now!
[13:58] ---
    A certain man stole my
    shadow a few years ago.
[14:02] ---
    It was stolen?
[14:04] ---
    Your shadow?
[14:05] ---
    After seeing you move and talk,
    nothing could surprise me.
[14:11] ---
    But does that sorta thing actually happen?
[14:13] ---
    Yes, it does.
[14:15] ---
    And having lost my shadow, I am no
    longer able to exist in the world of light.
[14:21] ---
    But aren't you alive?
[14:24] ---
    No, I cannot live under the light of the sun.
[14:30] ---
    I'm only alive now because I avoid the
    sunlight here on these foggy waters.
[14:34] ---
    What would happen if you
    were hit by the sunlight?
[14:38] ---
    If I was directly hit by sunlight, my body...
[14:43] ---
    ...would be obliterated!
[15:04] ---
    If I was directly hit by sunlight,
    my body would be obliterated!
[15:13] ---
    Obliterated?!
[15:17] ---
    Right...
[16:12] ---
    I have witnessed someone who lost his shadow
[16:15] ---
    
    disappear under the light of the sun.
[16:19] ---
    It was truly terrifying!
    A hair-raising sight to behold!
[16:23] ---
    And here I'm a skeleton!
[16:26] ---
    Your shadow appears on the ground
    when you stand in the light.
[16:30] ---
    Since I lack a shadow,
    my body cannot reflect light.
[16:36] ---
    That's why I cannot be seen
    in mirrors or pictures.
[16:39] ---
    In other words, the light
    rejects my very existence!
[16:43] ---
    And my crewmates are all dead!
[16:45] ---
    Your life sucks!
[16:48] ---
    Even so, I've scraped by!
[16:51] ---
    Scraped down to the bone!
[16:52] ---
    I am the dead and skeletonized
    Brook. It's a pleasure!
[16:56] ---
    Why are you so cheerful?
[17:01] ---
    "Evil Be Gone"
[17:02] ---
    H-Hey! What's wrong? You okay?
[17:07] ---
    Today is truly a wonderful day! I met people!
[17:13] ---
    Is it today or tomorrow?
[17:15] ---
    On these dark, foggy seas, I can't tell
    when one day moves to the next...
[17:45] ---
    All of my crewmates passed away...
[17:48] ---
    I was all alone on a large ship
    with a broken rudder...
[17:53] ---
    I merely rocked on the water
    as I drifted for several decades.
[17:58] ---
    I was really lonely!
[18:02] ---
    I was lonely! And scared!
[18:05] ---
    "Evil Be Gone"
[18:05] ---
    I wanted to die!
[18:10] ---
    But I'm glad I've lived such a long life.
[18:14] ---
    People are joy!
[18:15] ---
    I see you as "joy"!
[18:20] ---
    If only my tears hadn't gone dry,
    so I could shed tears of joy!
[18:25] ---
    You invited me to join your crew, didn't you?
[18:27] ---
    That made me truly happy! Thank you!
[18:32] ---
    But I'm afraid I must turn your offer down.
[18:34] ---
    Eh?! Why?!
[18:37] ---
    As I just explained, my
    shadow has been stolen.
[18:40] ---
    I cannot live under the sun.
[18:43] ---
    I'm currently protected by the fog that
[18:46] ---
    
    blocks the sunlight here in the Devil's Sea.
[18:48] ---
    But if I left with you, it would be a matter
[18:51] ---
    of time before my body was obliterated.
[18:55] ---
    I will stay here and wait
[18:57] ---
    for the miraculous day
    when I reclaim my shadow!
[19:03] ---
    Don't act like such a stranger!
[19:05] ---
    If you need your shadow,
    I'll take it back for you!
[19:09] ---
    Didn't you say someone stole it?
    Who was it? Where is he?
[19:14] ---
    You're a really great guy...
[19:18] ---
    I'm surprised! However, I cannot tell you.
[19:22] ---
    I could not ask you to die
    for me when we've just met!
[19:28] ---
    Meaning the foe's too strong?
[19:30] ---
    It wouldn't kill you!
    At least give us a name.
[19:34] ---
    No, my lips are sealed.
[19:36] ---
    Honestly, I don't know where he is.
[19:40] ---
    I don't even know if I'll see him again
    before my second life comes to an end.
[19:44] ---
    But if our paths should ever cross,
    I have decided to fight him!
[19:55] ---
    Putting that aside...
[19:57] ---
    ...let's sing!
[20:11] ---
    Instruments are my pride and joy.
[20:13] ---
    I was a musician on my pirate ship.
[20:16] ---
    Really?! You're a musician?
[20:19] ---
    Please! Join my crew, moron!
[20:23] ---
    Let's enjoy a fun sailor song!
[20:34] ---
    No!
[20:38] ---
    Hey! What is it? What's wrong?
[20:40] ---
    G... G-G-G...
[20:43] ---
    Ghost!
[20:44] ---
    Gah! Something's there!
[20:46] ---
    Evil be gone! Evil be gone!
[20:48] ---
    I'm scared! It's a ghost!
[20:50] ---
    Awesome!
[20:52] ---
    It's running away!
[20:56] ---
    Wh-What's causing that tremor?!
[20:58] ---
    I-It couldn't be!
[21:02] ---
    How horrible!
[21:03] ---
    This ship was already under observation.
[21:07] ---
    Come look! They've blocked
    the path in front of you.
[21:13] ---
    This is what caused that tremor!
[21:16] ---
    What is that?
[21:18] ---
    H-Hey, did a sea monster gobble us up?
[21:21] ---
    What's going on?
[21:26] ---
    This is the back of the gate.
[21:28] ---
    The gate...?
[21:29] ---
    Which means...
[21:32] ---
    Let's look out the aft!
[21:41] ---
    What's going on?
[21:46] ---
    By any chance, did you pick up a
    drifting barrel while out at sea?
[21:53] ---
    "Offering of Treasure to the Sea God"
[21:54] ---
    Something's floating on the water.
[21:55] ---
    "Treasure"
[21:55] ---
    You're right! Maybe a treasure
    ship accidentally dropped it!
[22:00] ---
    Cool, it opened!
[22:06] ---
    What's that?
[22:12] ---
    We found one.
[22:13] ---
    I knew it! That was a trap.
[22:16] ---
    They've been after your ship ever since then.
[22:20] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[22:22] ---
    Our ship has been here this whole time...
[22:45] ---
    So how'd an island get there?
[22:47] ---
    This is the ghost island
    that wanders the seas...
[22:51] ---
    ...Thriller Bark!
[23:10] ---
    Thriller Bark...
