**[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...
**[02:42] ---**
**[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!
**[03:21] ---**
**[03:24] ---**
As night falls upon the
forest around these parts,
**[03:29] ---**
it becomes so perilous it hardly
seems like it belongs to this world.
**[03:35] ---**
If you please, feel free to take
my carriage to the mansion.
**[03:40] ---**
There's a mansion?
**[03:42] ---**
Indeed, there is. You're welcome
to visit Dr. Hogback's mansion.
**[03:46] ---**
What?!
**[03:48] ---**
What? What is it?
**[03:49] ---**
What's the big deal, Chopper?
**[03:51] ---**
Hogback...
**[03:53] ---**
Huh...?
**[03:57] ---**
"The Man Called a Genius!
Hogback Makes His Appearance!"
**[04:50] ---**
Hey... The fog kept me from
getting a good look at the horses,
**[04:54] ---**
but didn't they seem a bit strange?
**[04:57] ---**
Uh, you must be imagining things!
**[05:02] ---**
Really...? I hope that's all it is.
**[05:06] ---**
Anyway, you're a lifesaver!
Thanks for saving our hides!
**[05:10] ---**
It was nothing! Please, have a drink.
**[05:17] ---**
This forest is filled with unusual animals,
**[05:19] ---**
making it dangerous to simply walk around.
**[05:22] ---**
Yeah, I was surprised! I thought
Cerberus was an imaginary animal.
**[05:28] ---**
That terrifying beast must
be a mutant or something!
**[05:31] ---**
I was afraid we were gonna be stuck
in that tree when you found us.
**[05:36] ---**
The mansion is the best place
to wait for your friends.
**[05:39] ---**
It stands out and it's safe.
**[05:41] ---**
Plus...
**[05:42] ---**
...I'll get to meet Dr. Hogback!
**[05:45] ---**
Is he all that famous?
**[05:47] ---**
There isn't a single doctor
who doesn't know his name!
**[05:50] ---**
He's a famous surgeon.
**[05:52] ---**
With his miraculous operations, he's saved
as many people as there are stars!
**[05:58] ---**
He has obtained status, honor,
and everything you could get as a doctor!
**[06:02] ---**
He's earned the respect of
doctors around the world!
**[06:08] ---**
But then he suddenly vanished one day.
**[06:13] ---**
Some say he went missing,
while others say he was abducted.
**[06:16] ---**
It threw the medical world
into an uproar for a while,
**[06:19] ---**
but in the end, no one could find any leads.
**[06:22] ---**
Now he's on the verge of becoming a legend.
**[06:26] ---**
You meant that Dr. Hogback, right?
**[06:29] ---**
Indeed! The doctor is
still conducting research
**[06:32] ---**
that goes beyond the
boundary of human knowledge.
**[06:37] ---**
Would it be okay if I
asked for his autograph?
**[06:40] ---**
If that's all you want,
I'm sure that would be fine.
**[06:45] ---**
No way!
**[06:48] ---**
This forest... even has lions!
**[06:57] ---**
No!
**[07:02] ---**
What's your problem?! Don't freak me out!
**[07:05] ---**
What was it?!
**[07:07] ---**
J-Just now, I saw a l-lion outside!
**[07:12] ---**
I-It looked like this.
**[07:14] ---**
I don't buy that!
**[07:16] ---**
Then take a look for yourself!
**[07:18] ---**
Go on!
**[07:20] ---**
Prey... Fresh prey...
**[07:24] ---**
Prey! Fresh prey!
**[07:48] ---**
Weird stuff's out there!
Super weird stuff's out there!
**[07:54] ---**
Stop right here! Stop the
carriage, Hildon-san!
**[07:57] ---**
Why are you so worked up?
Are you having hallucinations?
**[08:01] ---**
That wasn't a hallucination!
I'm sure they were out there!
**[08:04] ---**
This forest is way too messed up!
**[08:06] ---**
I suppose. This forest is a little strange.
**[08:09] ---**
The combination of thick fog and fear
can induce hallucinations in some.
**[08:15] ---**
Huh? That was a hallucination?
**[08:17] ---**
What a relief!
**[08:20] ---**
Really, now? A hallucination?
**[08:22] ---**
Nah, it was too vivid for that!
**[08:24] ---**
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
**[08:26] ---**
Hildon-san! Sorry, but could
you take us back to the shore?
**[08:30] ---**
Even if it's dangerous, we'll manage somehow.
**[08:32] ---**
What?!
**[08:35] ---**
But then I won't get to meet Dr. Hogback!
**[08:38] ---**
I wanna meet him!
**[08:40] ---**
Yeah, yeah, I get how you feel!
**[08:42] ---**
But this is when we've gotta listen to
our special Something's Fishy Sensors!
**[08:46] ---**
Are you willing to die to meet that doctor?
**[08:48] ---**
Or will you skip meeting him
so we can leave this island alive?
**[08:50] ---**
Which will it be?!
**[08:53] ---**
Of course I don't want to die! Or get scared!
**[08:56] ---**
Is that right? I shall
go inform the coachmen.
**[09:01] ---**
Everyone, please wait here.
**[09:04] ---**
Stop the carriage!
**[09:16] ---**
I'm sorry, Chopper! I know
you're passing up a huge chance.
**[09:20] ---**
It can't be helped! I'm still green,
since I can't act on my own like Luffy.
**[09:26] ---**
"10 Minutes Later..."
**[09:30] ---**
"Shhh..."
**[09:34] ---**
How long is he going to keep us waiting?
**[09:36] ---**
He still isn't back yet...
**[09:41] ---**
That's strange. We're just
going back the way we...
**[09:47] ---**
What?! No one's there!
**[09:50] ---**
Even the horses are gone!
**[09:52] ---**
They abandoned us in a graveyard!
**[09:56] ---**
They what?! Why?!
**[09:58] ---**
Eh?! They abandoned us?!
**[10:01] ---**
Sure they aren't going potty?
**[10:03] ---**
Hildon! Hey!
**[10:06] ---**
Where'd you go?!
**[10:31] ---**
Of all the places, why'd they
have to choose a graveyard?
**[10:34] ---**
Stop it! Jeez, I'm so scared!
**[10:37] ---**
You don't have to remind me where we are!
**[10:40] ---**
What's going to happen to us now?
**[10:42] ---**
Chopper...
**[10:44] ---**
What?!
**[10:47] ---**
Beep! Beep!
**[11:06] ---**
N-N-No way...
**[11:18] ---**
Z-Zombies!
**[11:23] ---**
No!!
**[11:40] ---**
No!
**[11:44] ---**
No! That hurts! It hurts!
**[11:48] ---**
Usopp!
**[11:50] ---**
Please help me!
**[11:54] ---**
Usopp!
**[11:58] ---**
No!!
**[12:04] ---**
The carriage is gonna fall over!
They're insanely strong!
**[12:21] ---**
I've been bit!
**[12:23] ---**
Damn it! He bit me!
**[12:25] ---**
--Now I'm gonna turn into a zombie!
--Usopp!
**[12:27] ---**
I'm on my way!
**[12:36] ---**
No, don't bite me! Stop that!
**[12:39] ---**
Please save me!
**[12:46] ---**
Let go of Usopp!
**[12:50] ---**
You bastards!
**[13:00] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[13:02] ---**
Here, you dropped this.
**[13:03] ---**
Oh, thanks.
**[13:08] ---**
Hey, save me! They're about to bite me!
**[13:10] ---**
Nami!
**[13:11] ---**
Crap! Let go of me! Stay back!
**[13:14] ---**
Zombies are weak against...
**[13:16] ---**
Special Attack! Flame Star!
**[13:20] ---**
--Fire!
--That's rottin' bad!
**[13:23] ---**
That worked better than I could have hoped!
**[13:26] ---**
That was dangerous, you pyro punk!
**[13:28] ---**
What if I actually caught on fire,
you stupid jerk?!
**[13:30] ---**
Rotten scum!
**[13:31] ---**
That ticked off the zombies.
**[13:33] ---**
You'd better hurry, Nami!
**[13:34] ---**
This is our chance to escape!
**[13:36] ---**
R-Right!
**[13:39] ---**
At this point, the mansion's the
closest place to run to for safety.
**[13:42] ---**
Yeah, let's go there.
**[13:44] ---**
That was scary!
**[13:47] ---**
We'll be okay! They can't catch up
**[13:49] ---**
if we run like mad for the mansion
once we're outta the graveyard!
**[13:52] ---**
Zombies can only walk at a
snail's pace and groan at you.
**[13:56] ---**
"At a snail's pace"?
**[13:57] ---**
"At a snail's pace"? "At a snail's pace"?
**[14:01] ---**
"At a snail's pace"?!
**[14:03] ---**
Wait for us!
**[14:04] ---**
They're fast!
**[14:12] ---**
No! No! No--er, huh? Huh?
**[14:15] ---**
Just a sec... Time out!
**[14:21] ---**
Zero stamina!
**[14:22] ---**
Hurry, Usopp!
**[14:24] ---**
Y-Yeah!
**[14:46] ---**
The waves are carrying the ship away!
**[14:48] ---**
What's keeping you, Gah?!
**[14:49] ---**
Don't call me "Gah," punk!
**[14:51] ---**
The rudder won't budge!
**[14:53] ---**
If we used the paddle,
we could fight the waves, but...
**[14:57] ---**
I was planning on going to the island anyway.
**[14:59] ---**
Why don't we go with the flow?
**[15:02] ---**
Jerk! You've totally forgotten
about Nami-san, haven't you?
**[15:05] ---**
What's that?
**[15:10] ---**
A spider web on the water?
**[15:18] ---**
At this rate, we're going to
ram right into the spider web.
**[15:20] ---**
Hey, we need the paddle! Release the paddle!
**[15:23] ---**
Don't. It's too late for that.
**[15:34] ---**
Damn it! It didn't harm the ship,
but now we're stuck here!
**[15:39] ---**
And why is this spider
web so freakishly big?!
**[15:50] ---**
They... aren't chasing us anymore, are they?
**[15:53] ---**
What's with this island?! It's oozing
with stuff that shouldn't exist!
**[15:57] ---**
Guys, if I turn into a zombie,
finish me off in a single blow!
**[16:02] ---**
Where'd you come up with that?
**[16:04] ---**
It was in the Illustrated Zombie Guide
I read in Sunny's library!
**[16:08] ---**
For a scaredy-cat, you read
way too many of those books.
**[16:15] ---**
Well, we're here. Right now,
I just want a glass of water!
**[16:20] ---**
I get to meet him after all. I can't wait!
**[16:23] ---**
I don't think anyone in his right mind
would live on this island.
**[16:27] ---**
I'd bet on it!
**[16:33] ---**
Excuse me! Is this Dr. Hogback's mansion?
**[16:38] ---**
We're traveling pira--sailors!
**[16:42] ---**
We got lost and could use some help!
**[16:45] ---**
Please let us stay here!
**[16:48] ---**
Is anyone here?
**[16:52] ---**
What's with this mansion?
A tunnel runs through the center of it!
**[16:56] ---**
I can see a courtyard on the other side.
**[16:58] ---**
Excuse me!
**[17:04] ---**
Maybe no one's home.
**[17:06] ---**
That would stink! We'll have to
face zombies if we turn back.
**[17:10] ---**
Look! A light in the back turned on.
**[17:14] ---**
It's not just a light, it's
a spotlight for this well.
**[17:14] ---**
"Evil Be Gone"
**[17:23] ---**
"Evil Be Gone"
**[17:24] ---**
Wh-What now?!
**[17:30] ---**
Welcome!
**[17:35] ---**
One, two, three!
**[17:37] ---**
What?! What gives?!
**[17:38] ---**
Four, five!
**[17:41] ---**
That woman's throwing plates!
**[17:42] ---**
Six, seven!
**[17:44] ---**
Doesn't it seem like she's goin' after me?!
**[17:47] ---**
Yes, I am! I cannot invite
you into the mansion.
**[17:51] ---**
Those two may step inside.
**[17:53] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[17:56] ---**
You may get lost!
**[17:57] ---**
Eight, nine!
**[17:59] ---**
Why me?!
**[18:02] ---**
That's enough! Hold your hand!
**[18:04] ---**
What was that?!
**[18:05] ---**
I can't take any more scary stuff!
**[18:12] ---**
Someone's coming out.
**[18:14] ---**
I think we can make this
one exception, Cindry-chan.
**[18:18] ---**
I'm sorry if she startled you guys.
**[18:20] ---**
A long time ago, this woman was
engaged to her wealthy master.
**[18:26] ---**
To test his love, she broke
all of his prized plates.
**[18:29] ---**
He tossed her out, and her
tragic past has made her
**[18:32] ---**
develop an aversion to plates.
**[18:33] ---**
She's my servant, Cindry-chan!
**[18:35] ---**
Okay, I really don't care.
**[18:37] ---**
And I've failed to introduce myself.
I am the world-renowned Dr. Hogback!
**[18:43] ---**
Also known as a genius!
**[18:45] ---**
--Ten!
--Usopp!
**[18:47] ---**
Hey, hey, hey! Cindry-chan,
I said you could stop!
**[18:51] ---**
It makes me look bad
when you don't listen to me.
**[18:57] ---**
Crap!
**[19:05] ---**
I wish plates would disappear
from the face of the earth!
**[19:08] ---**
I understand! I understand completely!
**[19:10] ---**
But I was in the middle of a conversation!
**[19:13] ---**
Chopper, is he the guy
you were talking about?
**[19:15] ---**
D-Dr. Hogback in the flesh!
**[19:18] ---**
He doesn't seem too bright.
**[19:20] ---**
Watch it, Nami!
**[19:26] ---**
You may talk inside.
Today, I will make an exception.
**[19:29] ---**
All three of you may enter.
**[19:31] ---**
Come in!
**[19:32] ---**
R-Right, right! Come inside my mansion.
**[19:35] ---**
I don't get why I wasn't welcome,
but should we take them up on the offer?
**[19:39] ---**
Sure. Beats the zombies outside.
**[19:47] ---**
I'm still...
**[19:49] ---**
I'm still outside...
**[19:57] ---**
It's a pleasure to welcome you to my mansion.
But my, you sure are grungy!
**[20:02] ---**
What brings you here?
**[20:04] ---**
A whole bunch of things, but for starters--
**[20:07] ---**
I'll explain everything in detail later.
**[20:10] ---**
Zombies attacked us in the graveyard,
so we ran here for cover.
**[20:15] ---**
Zombies, eh?
**[20:17] ---**
There was a whole bunch of stuff
that made us doubt our eyes.
**[20:21] ---**
What's the deal with this island?
**[20:23] ---**
Since you live here,
you've gotta know something!
**[20:26] ---**
I see. So they attacked you, huh?
**[20:28] ---**
I'm glad you made it here
in one piece. That's a relief!
**[20:32] ---**
To answer your question:
**[20:34] ---**
I don't know what they are,
which is why I live here.
**[20:37] ---**
So you're conducting research on the zombies?
**[20:42] ---**
Indeed, I am!
**[20:43] ---**
People are terrified when they hear "zombie."
**[20:46] ---**
But what if I rephrase it
to "resurrecting the dead"?
**[20:49] ---**
Hasn't that been all mankind's eternal dream?
**[20:54] ---**
Everyone has a special someone or two
they'd like to see return from the dead.
**[20:59] ---**
But toying with human mortality is
unorthodox medicine that disrespects God!
**[21:05] ---**
That's why I slipped away
from the public eye--
**[21:08] ---**
so I could continue my
research on this island in secret!
**[21:12] ---**
S-So that's the story!
**[21:14] ---**
But I'm sure tons of people
around the world
**[21:17] ---**
would be thrilled if your
research is a success!
**[21:21] ---**
I'll be rooting for you, Dr. Hogback!
**[21:24] ---**
You're rather open-minded!
Thank you, Dr. Chopper.
**[21:27] ---**
What?!
**[21:29] ---**
Sh-Shucks, Doctor! I'm not happy because
you thanked me or anything, you jerk!
**[21:36] ---**
May I have your autograph?
**[21:38] ---**
Why, certainly!
**[21:40] ---**
"To Dr. Chopper..."
**[21:41] ---**
To Dr. Chopper...
**[21:44] ---**
Could you show me your lab later?
**[21:47] ---**
By all means, steer clear of my laboratory!
**[21:57] ---**
Hey, Cindry-chan! Put the flan on plates!
**[22:00] ---**
Couldn't you at least do that for me?
**[22:03] ---**
I wish plates would disappear
from the face of the earth!
**[22:08] ---**
Guys, I wash the heck out of the
tablecloth for times just like this,
**[22:13] ---**
so feel free to eat away!
**[22:14] ---**
Don't mind if we do!
**[22:16] ---**
You can still use your spoons!
**[22:20] ---**
It's yummy and sweet!
**[22:22] ---**
I've drawn you a bath.
**[22:23] ---**
You're a filthy lot, so go hop in.
**[22:27] ---**
Hey, Pops. He doesn't mean anything to me,
**[22:31] ---**
but did a weird skeleton
drop by before we arrived?
**[22:36] ---**
A-A skeleton?
**[22:38] ---**
Yeah. He's tall with an afro
and he's oddly cheerful.
**[22:49] ---**
Of course, the fact that he's a talking,
walking skeleton makes him odd enough.
**[22:55] ---**
Do you know anything about him?
