**[00:16] ---**
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...
**[23:25] ---**
Where the heck did that skeleton go?
H-Hey, shouldn't you slow down, Nami?
**[23:29] ---**
Don't underestimate my navigation technique!
I'm gonna let her rip!
**[23:33] ---**
N-Nami, I don't think there's
any water over there!
**[23:36] ---**
Of course there--what?!
**[23:40] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
