    Travel across the oceans of the world
[00:20] ---
    Bellow a battle cry
[00:22] ---
    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
[00:43] ---
    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
[01:27] ---
    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
[01:41] ---
    Shy hearts engrave the rhythm of adventure
[01:49] ---
    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...
[02:02] ---
    Life is "Adventurous"
[02:04] ---
    Be aware it's "Dangerous"
[02:06] ---
    Who's gonna be "One of us"
[02:07] ---
    And a trip goes on because
[02:09] ---
    We da pirate of the "Mass"
[02:11] ---
    To the West, To the East
[02:12] ---
    Gotta find my way, Sail away
[02:14] ---
    All the way to "One piece"!!
[02:15] ---
    Stuff a dream into your empty chest
[02:20] ---
    And spread your wings
[02:22] ---
    If the wind blowing through
    them dyes your heart
[02:26] ---
    Let's press forward
[02:29] ---
    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!
[03:22] ---
    You are going to disgrace yourself by crying,
[03:25] ---
    "Anything but my afro! Anything but my afro!"
[03:27] ---
    as you beg me to spare your life,
    just like last time.
[03:30] ---
    No, that's not how it will go down!
[03:44] ---
    While waiting for my chance to return,
[03:46] ---
    I have spent these past five years...
[03:50] ---
    ...growing stronger!
[03:57] ---
    "A Man's Promise Never Dies!!
    To the Friend Waiting Under the Distant Sky!"
[04:18] ---
    "Evil..."
[04:28] ---
    A monster that could tower over giants?
[04:31] ---
    Yeah! He's the one who made
    all that noise and screamed.
[04:36] ---
    I bet Luffy's zombie is hooting
    and hollering as he runs rampant.
[04:44] ---
    Let's hurry!
[04:49] ---
    Hey, look! There's Sunny!
[04:52] ---
    Yeah! That skeleton knew
    what he was talkin' about!
[04:56] ---
    Indeed!
[05:02] ---
    Whoosh!
[05:13] ---
    I get it! Those stairs led to the entrance.
[05:17] ---
    I couldn't tell through all
    that fog when we barged in,
[05:22] ---
    but the stairway up was a shortcut
    to the last boss's room...
[05:34] ---
    Folding stairs...? Is this how
    we're supposed to get down?
[05:44] ---
    Whoa! Man, we've been wiped clean!
[05:51] ---
    The zombies must have done it.
[05:53] ---
    There are muddy footprints everywhere.
[05:54] ---
    What?! They could still be around.
[06:08] ---
    What a mess!
[06:14] ---
    Yeah, they looted us, all right.
    Not that we have anything worth taking.
[06:22] ---
    Are there any zombies...?
[06:25] ---
    How about the guys in question?
[06:28] ---
    I don't see them.
[06:31] ---
    Hey, Luffy! Zoro! Sanji!
[06:37] ---
    Where are you?! Say something!
[06:42] ---
    They must be inside.
[06:44] ---
    What makes you so sure?
[06:47] ---
    We heard that their zombies will also die
[06:49] ---
    if Luffy and the guys are exposed to sunlight.
[06:52] ---
    Gotcha. Chopper and Franky,
    you two search the first floor.
[06:58] ---
    Robin and I will search the second floor.
[07:00] ---
    Zombies could still be hiding
    somewhere on board, so be careful!
[07:03] ---
    Right!
[07:22] ---
    Found them! Hey, I found them!
[07:25] ---
    They're in the dining room!
    All three of them are up here!
[07:35] ---
    Luffy!
[07:40] ---
    How... could they do such a thing...?
[07:46] ---
    The zombies had a blast "decorating" them...
[07:56] ---
    They were merciless.
[07:59] ---
    Wake up, Luffy! Man, you can't
    sleep looking like this!
[08:03] ---
    Luffy!
[08:04] ---
    C'mon!
[08:06] ---
    Leave this to me.
[08:12] ---
    Hey, wake up! This isn't
    the time to catch some Z's!
[08:15] ---
    We've got a serious problem here!
[08:21] ---
    They're still asleep...
[08:23] ---
    Do they even have a nervous system?
[08:25] ---
    They're askin' for it.
[08:28] ---
    Guys, outta the way. I'm using my bazooka.
[08:33] ---
    Nah, it's cool.
[08:36] ---
    At times like this...
[08:41] ---
    There's a hot master swordswoman with meat!
[08:57] ---
    --"Hot"?
    --"Meat"?
[08:59] ---
    --"Master swordswoman"?!
    --These guys are hopeless!
[09:22] ---
    Did you hear that?
[09:24] ---
    Yeah! Didn't he say 95-55-85?
[09:28] ---
    These are truly...
[09:29] ---
    ...miraculous measurements!
[09:50] ---
    This is the one.
[10:09] ---
    Yes, yes. You'll look lovely in this.
[10:12] ---
    Now let's get you changed right quick.
[10:36] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[10:40] ---
    Ow!
[10:42] ---
    What are you doing, geezer?!
[10:48] ---
    Now, now! I'm doing it for your own good.
[10:50] ---
    If you leered at the naked flesh of
    the woman about to wed Absalom-sama,
[10:54] ---
    he would make you pay dearly!
[10:56] ---
    Isn't that right, Absalom-sama?
[11:05] ---
    D-Don't tell me...
[11:07] ---
    He was... still...
[11:12] ---
    ...in here?!
[11:15] ---
    We're in rottin' trouble!
[11:20] ---
    Damn it! He noticed I was still there.
[11:30] ---
    Hey! Have the General Zombies congregate
    in the ceremony hall! Hop to it!
[11:34] ---
    C-Certainly!
[11:45] ---
    Y-You jerk!
[11:48] ---
    --Give my shadow--
    --Calm down! Moria isn't here.
[12:01] ---
    Huh? Where am I?
[12:03] ---
    On Sunny.
[12:04] ---
    Sunny?! What are we doing back here?
[12:10] ---
    Wait... None of that was a dream...!
[12:14] ---
    My shadow is missing! This feels so weird.
[12:20] ---
    Hey, this is bad! We have a disaster
    on hand! We're all out of food!
[12:30] ---
    Crap!
[12:33] ---
    We had our galley packed nicely,
    but now it's empty.
[12:37] ---
    They took off with everything
    but some emergency rations.
[12:40] ---
    I can't live off cheese and
    dried bread! Gimme meat!
[12:46] ---
    But...
[12:50] ---
    This is really humiliating. I wasn't
    taking things seriously enough!
[12:54] ---
    I lost my pirate lunch...
[12:57] ---
    Cheese doesn't cut it! Cheese bites!
[13:01] ---
    By the way, I don't see Nami-san.
[13:05] ---
    Oh, about that...
[13:08] ---
    Yeah...
[13:12] ---
    You let her get abducted?!
[13:15] ---
    Why didn't you follow her
    to the ends of the earth?!
[13:17] ---
    Sorry! But it's not like
    I could just run after them!
[13:22] ---
    Who the heck is the jerk?!
    I'll get her back before you can bat an eye!
[13:27] ---
    Whoa, wait! Please hear me out first!
[13:32] ---
    Okay, I'll make this quick.
[13:34] ---
    Generally speaking, there are
    two things we need to get back!
[13:38] ---
    Our food, Nami, and our shadows, right?
    That's three things!
[13:41] ---
    Wow, I wasn't expecting you
    to rank things in that order.
[13:45] ---
    First off, let me fill you in
    about Nami and your shadows.
[14:05] ---
    Wha--? M-M-Marriage?!
[14:09] ---
    Don't be stupid! I won't let that happen!
[14:13] ---
    He's got guts to marry Nami...
[14:16] ---
    And there is a giant version of me?
[14:19] ---
    That's how you make a zombie?
[14:21] ---
    So you've already found Luffy's
    and the cook's zombies, Usopp?
[14:26] ---
    I-I had no idea he was one
    of the Seven Warlords...
[14:30] ---
    Fear suddenly set in...
[14:33] ---
    You guys didn't know?
[14:35] ---
    How were we supposed to know?!
[14:37] ---
    Oh, man! I don't have time for this.
[14:40] ---
    That's right! If the zombies act just like us,
[14:45] ---
    then I saw your zombie, Zoro.
[14:47] ---
    What was he like?
[14:51] ---
    No different from you.
[14:56] ---
    Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame!
[14:58] ---
    But I am covered in scars.
[15:02] ---
    I knew he wasn't you,
    since he was wearing sandals.
[15:06] ---
    Okay, whatever.
[15:08] ---
    So we need to find a zombie in sandals,
    Luffy's giant, and the cook's dogguin.
[15:14] ---
    Our shadows will come back if we
    throw salt in their mouths, right?
[15:18] ---
    Yeah, that's how it works.
[15:29] ---
    But honestly, I'm amazed you
    discovered that weakness.
[15:32] ---
    All of our info came from that bag of bones,
[15:35] ---
    from how to defeat the zombies
    to how to rescue you guys.
[15:39] ---
    Really?! You saw Brook?
[15:42] ---
    Yeah, I did. And I asked him a
    stupid question when I saw him.
[15:48] ---
    See, I totally rejected his very
    existence when you first brought him
[15:53] ---
    aboard our ship to join our crew...
[15:56] ---
    He might be a flimsy skeleton,
[16:00] ---
    but when I talked to him,
    he had an iron backbone!
[16:03] ---
    One fitting for a skeleton...
[16:10] ---
    He...
[16:13] ---
    He...
[16:16] ---
    He's a real man!
[16:25] ---
    I had to ask him...
[16:37] ---
    Well, you'll have to pardon me.
[16:39] ---
    I'm in a hurry. Take care!
[16:42] ---
    Stop right there!
[16:45] ---
    On top of everything you've told us,
    answer this one question before you go.
[16:50] ---
    You know how people will react
[16:53] ---
    if you appear before them
    as you are now, don't you?
[16:57] ---
    You're a talking skeleton!
    You'll never make friends.
[17:03] ---
    The abnormal are ostracized.
[17:05] ---
    Franky, what are you...?
[17:09] ---
    Even if you leave the Devil's Sea,
    your fate is sealed...
[17:16] ---
    And to make matters worse, you've spent
    the past several decades trapped here!
[17:21] ---
    Didn't you say, "I got so
    lonely that I wanted to die"?
[17:26] ---
    If I were you, I would have
    taken my own life ages ago.
[17:30] ---
    Your existence bites...
[17:33] ---
    Sometimes you act like a gentleman
    to hide the core of the conversation.
[17:37] ---
    You're doing all of this because
    you want to keep a promise...
[17:41] ---
    What exactly did you promise your crewmates?
[17:49] ---
    You're rather nosy, aren't you?
[17:52] ---
    It's quite simple.
[17:54] ---
    Long ago, we left a member of my
    crew behind at a certain location.
[18:00] ---
    It was unavoidable, yet sad.
[18:03] ---
    When we set sail, we vehemently
    swore that we would return.
[18:09] ---
    But then we were annihilated on these seas,
[18:11] ---
    preventing us from keeping our promise.
[18:16] ---
    As the sole survivor from our ship,
    it is my duty to tell him what has happened!
[18:23] ---
    I believe it has been... fifty years
    now since the day we died.
[18:30] ---
    Fifty years?! Hey, that was ages ago!
[18:34] ---
    I wasn't even born yet!
[18:36] ---
    Sorry, but I doubt he's been waiting that long!
[18:39] ---
    What right...?!
[18:44] ---
    What right do I have to decide
    whether or not he's still waiting?
[18:53] ---
    If he's still waiting for us,
    believing that we'll keep our promise...
[18:59] ---
    Can you imagine how lonesome he must feel?
[19:04] ---
    If he's still waiting while under
    the belief that we've betrayed him,
[19:09] ---
    can you imagine how miserable he must be?
[19:13] ---
    Man...
[19:16] ---
    We swore to reunite with my crewmate
    off some capes. His name is...
[19:21] ---
    ...Laboon!
[19:23] ---
    He was a young whale,
[19:25] ---
    so we couldn't possibly bring him
    with us on our dangerous voyage.
[19:29] ---
    A whale...?
[19:31] ---
    Yeah...
[19:38] ---
    Goodbye!
[19:39] ---
    Later! Take care!
[19:49] ---
    I imagine he's grown rather big by now.
[19:54] ---
    Your crewmate... is a whale?
[19:57] ---
    That's right. I can't help but
    think he still believes in us.
[20:06] ---
    Perhaps he thinks we'll play
    our typical lively music
[20:10] ---
    and come back waving.
[20:16] ---
    I doubt he will forgive us for
    irresponsibly dying on him...
[20:22] ---
    We made a selfish promise
[20:24] ---
    and died under a distant sky where
    our voices couldn't reach him.
[20:29] ---
    "I'm sorry we died" could never cut it!
[20:35] ---
    We gave our word as men that we would return!
[20:46] ---
    And that's why he's still alive...
[20:49] ---
    Laboon...
[21:12] ---
    Seriously?
[21:15] ---
    It's him...
[21:25] ---
    Yeah.
[21:26] ---
    Oh, yeah. Chopper wasn't there for this, huh?
[21:47] ---
    You...! What the hell did
    you do to my special seat?!
[22:17] ---
    I'm strong, aren't I?
[22:21] ---
    Our fight isn't over yet!
    So we have to fight again.
[22:25] ---
    Your buddies're dead,
    but I'm your rival forever.
[22:29] ---
    We definitely have to fight again
    in order to decide who is stronger.
[22:33] ---
    After going around the Grand Line,
    we'll come back to see you again.
[22:38] ---
    When I come back, let's fight again!
[22:41] ---
    Hmmm. This is good.
[22:43] ---
    This is the symbol of our promise to fight again.
[22:47] ---
    Until we come back, don't remove
    that mark by hitting your head.
[22:58] ---
    We know him.
[23:06] ---
    We know that whale.
[23:25] ---
    That cape on the Grand Line...?
[23:27] ---
    Whoa, wait! He's still waiting after fifty years?!
[23:33] ---
    What a touching story!
[23:34] ---
    I didn't expect that skeleton
    to have a past like that...
[23:39] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:40] ---
    "I Swear to Go See Him!!
    Brook and the Cape of Promise!"
[23:45] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
