**[00:40] ---**
ame agari no sora wo aogu tabi
**[00:40] ---**
Every time I look up to
the sky after the rain
**[00:45] ---**
nakimushi datta koro no boku wo omou
**[00:45] ---**
I think back to when I was a crybaby
**[00:51] ---**
dareka no senaka wo gamushara ni oikaketa
**[00:51] ---**
I was chasing somebody's back blindly
**[00:59] ---**
"tsuyoku naritai" tte
**[00:59] ---**
Thinking "I want to be stronger"
**[01:01] ---**
ima wa kaze ni kieta "arigatou"
**[01:01] ---**
The word "thank you" has
faded into the wind now
**[01:07] ---**
boku wa tsuyoku nareteiru no kana?
**[01:07] ---**
Am I getting stronger?
**[01:12] ---**
kotae wa mada desou ni nai kara sa
**[01:12] ---**
I don't know the answer yet
**[01:18] ---**
yappari mada aruiteiku yo
**[01:18] ---**
That's why I'll keep walking ahead
**[01:23] ---**

**[01:23] ---**
So let's go
**[01:25] ---**
tachidomaru koto naku
**[01:25] ---**
Without stopping
**[01:29] ---**

**[01:29] ---**
Without giving up to the flow of time
**[01:34] ---**
nando mo tachimukai tsuzukeyou
**[01:34] ---**
I'll keep getting back up
**[01:40] ---**
taisetsu na mono ushinaitakunai kara
**[01:40] ---**
Because I don't want to
lose something precious
**[01:45] ---**
boku no naka ni nagareru koe wa
**[01:45] ---**
The voice inside of me
**[01:50] ---**
zutto zutto boku wo sasaeteru
**[01:50] ---**
keeps sustaining me
**[01:56] ---**
itazura na ame ga jama suru kedo
**[01:56] ---**
Wicked rain will get in my way
**[02:01] ---**
nigedasanai kara
**[02:01] ---**
But I won't walk away
**[02:09] ---**
saa yukou
**[02:09] ---**
So let's go
**[02:11] ---**
Tachidomaru koto naku
**[02:11] ---**
Without stopping
**[02:15] ---**
nagareru toki ni makenai youni
**[02:15] ---**
Without giving up to the flow of time
**[02:20] ---**

**[02:20] ---**
I'll keep getting back up
**[02:26] ---**
taisetsu na mono ushinaitakunai kara
**[02:26] ---**
Because I don't want to
lose something precious
**[02:31] ---**
shinjita sono saki e to...
**[02:31] ---**
To the future I believe in...
**[02:47] ---**
The time is the Great Pirate Era.
**[02:50] ---**
Countless pirates fight
desperately for the One Piece,
**[02:56] ---**
the great treasure left behind by
Gold Roger, King of the Pirates.
**[02:59] ---**
Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned
to rubber after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,
**[03:04] ---**
also takes to the sea to become
the next King of the Pirates.
**[03:07] ---**
As Luffy and his friends
overcome numerous adventures,
**[03:11] ---**
the World Government is less and
less able to ignore their existence.
**[03:17] ---**
This is exciting!
**[03:19] ---**
What kind of adventure
is waiting for us next?!
**[03:23] ---**
The crew, on its way to the New World,
**[03:26] ---**
will speed along the Grand Line again today!
**[03:34] ---**
The historic War of the Best
in Marineford has ended.
**[03:42] ---**
10 years ago, in the East Blue,
**[03:45] ---**
Luffy met Ace for the
first time when he was 7.
**[03:49] ---**
I won't say it!
**[03:51] ---**
Then you die.
**[03:56] ---**
Don't!
**[04:00] ---**
"I Won't Run! Ace's Desperate
Rescue Operation!"
**[04:12] ---**
Outta my way!
**[04:17] ---**
--It's him, Porchemy-san!
--He stole the money from us! Damn you!
**[04:22] ---**
What?
**[04:24] ---**
A-Ace!
**[04:31] ---**
You made it easier for us
by coming here voluntarily!
**[04:35] ---**
We were having a hard time
making your friend talk.
**[04:39] ---**
Ace!
**[04:40] ---**
L-Let me go!
**[04:42] ---**
Sabo!
**[04:48] ---**
Porchemy-san!
**[04:52] ---**
Ace! Sabo!
**[04:54] ---**
It kind of hurts. Hey!
**[04:59] ---**
Do you know what happens
when you mess with adults?!
**[05:04] ---**
I'll fight you! Sabo, help him!
**[05:08] ---**
Ace!
**[05:10] ---**
He has a sword! Be careful!
**[05:26] ---**
Oh, he got the knife!
**[05:27] ---**
Porchemy-san, that kid...!
**[05:32] ---**
Let's go, Ace!
**[05:35] ---**
Go ahead!
**[05:36] ---**
You fool! Hurry up!
**[05:40] ---**
When I come to face someone, I won't run!
**[05:44] ---**
What'd you say?! You little shit!
**[05:47] ---**
Don't do it! He's not like
the thugs in the city!
**[05:50] ---**
You got that right!
**[05:52] ---**
Alright! Enough playing
around! That's our money.
**[05:57] ---**
Give it back to us peacefully, brat!
**[06:00] ---**
You must been possessed by
some evil spirit, right?
**[06:03] ---**
Give the money back so you won't regret it.
**[06:08] ---**
We have better plans for that money!
**[06:12] ---**
Wh...
**[06:14] ---**
What did you say?!
**[06:16] ---**
Wait here for a minute!
**[06:19] ---**
You're so reckless!
Why are you always like this?!
**[06:24] ---**
I won't run!
**[06:26] ---**
Stop talking crap!
**[06:33] ---**
If I'm beaten by kids, I may
as well quit being a pirate!
**[06:37] ---**
--We'll make sure you quit!
--We'll make sure you quit!
**[06:40] ---**
I'm gonna kill all of you!
**[06:56] ---**
I heard the whole story,
Porchemy. How pathetic.
**[07:01] ---**
Did you honestly get beaten by kids?
**[07:05] ---**
I'm sorry, Captain Bluejam... The money is...
**[07:11] ---**
Don't look at me! I don't
even want to see your face!
**[07:19] ---**
Now, who will get my money back?
**[07:24] ---**
Don't tell me we'll let
it go without a fight.
**[07:28] ---**
Of course not. We'll get it back right away.
**[07:41] ---**
You have a bad habit, Ace!
**[07:44] ---**
When faced with a real
pirate it's best to run!
**[07:47] ---**
Why do you have such a death wish?
**[07:49] ---**
This doesn't feel right.
I liked the one I had.
**[07:55] ---**
We made a stupid mistake.
The Bluejam clan won't forgive us.
**[08:01] ---**
They'll come after us!
**[08:03] ---**
Oh, that was scary!
I thought I was gonna die!
**[08:10] ---**
You're so annoying! Shut up!
Stop crying already!
**[08:15] ---**
I don't like cowards or people who cry a lot!
**[08:21] ---**
Th-Thank you!
**[08:26] ---**
You...
**[08:29] ---**
You helped me!
**[08:30] ---**
--You...!
--Whoa, he's just being thankful.
**[08:38] ---**
Why didn't you cough it
up in the first place?
**[08:42] ---**
They're kind of people who'd kill
women or kids without hesitation!
**[08:47] ---**
I thought if I said anything...
you wouldn't be my friend.
**[08:52] ---**
It's better than dying, isn't it?
**[08:54] ---**
Why do you wanna become my friend that much?
**[08:59] ---**
Because...
**[09:01] ---**
Didn't I give you a hard time until now?
**[09:05] ---**
How could you follow me this far?
**[09:13] ---**
Because...
**[09:15] ---**
Because I have nobody else to trust!
**[09:19] ---**
I can't go back to Windmill Village
and I don't like the mountain bandits!
**[09:23] ---**
If I didn't follow you, I'd be all alone!
**[09:27] ---**
Being lonely is more
painful than getting hurt!
**[09:32] ---**
Where are your parents?
**[09:34] ---**
Grandpa is all I have.
**[09:38] ---**
Is it easy for you when I'm around?
**[09:40] ---**
Uh-huh.
**[09:41] ---**
--It's hard without me?
--Uh-huh.
**[09:47] ---**
What if Gold Roger had a child?
**[09:51] ---**
I hope that there isn't such a child!
**[09:53] ---**
He must be some kind of devil
who'd be better off dead!
**[10:05] ---**
Do you want me to live?
**[10:12] ---**
Of course I do!
**[10:14] ---**
I see.
**[10:18] ---**
But I don't like spoiled kids like you.
**[10:24] ---**
I'm not spoiled! I'm strong!
**[10:27] ---**
Strong?! You're not strong
at all! You cry like a girl!
**[10:32] ---**
Have you ever gotten hit by
a spiky thing? I'm only 7!
**[10:37] ---**
When I become your age - 10, I'll
stop crying and become stronger!
**[10:42] ---**
I wouldn't cry even if I were
7, stupid! I'm not like you!
**[10:46] ---**
I'm gonna become stronger than anyone!
**[10:49] ---**
I promised Shanks that I'd
become a great pirate!
**[10:53] ---**
--You? Become a pirate?
--Yes!
**[10:55] ---**
--No way!
--Yes way!
**[10:58] ---**
Okay, that's enough!
**[11:01] ---**
Hey, by the way, I have a little problem.
**[11:05] ---**
--What? A problem?
--Uh-huh.
**[11:08] ---**
Bluejam and the others will try to kill the
three of us after this for sure, right?
**[11:15] ---**
Well, I think so.
**[11:17] ---**
This forest that I've been living is close
to where they are - the Cove of Pirates!
**[11:23] ---**
What if they attack me when
I fall asleep exhausted?
**[11:27] ---**
--You're gonna die.
--Yeah, you're gonna die.
**[11:30] ---**
Right?
**[11:33] ---**
That's why I need your help.
**[11:35] ---**
Guys, huddle up.
**[11:56] ---**
Why are they wounded? They're all bandaged!
**[12:09] ---**
Whoa! Boss! Boss! We have a problem!
**[12:13] ---**
Hmm? It's still early. What's wrong...
**[12:16] ---**
Whoa! What's going on here?!
**[12:20] ---**
1, 2...
**[12:23] ---**
Huh?
**[12:24] ---**
1, 2...
**[12:27] ---**
Huh?
**[12:28] ---**
Ace, Luffy...
**[12:31] ---**
Huh?
**[12:32] ---**
Ace, Luffy... Huh?
**[12:34] ---**
Ace, Luffy... Huh? Ace, Luffy... Huh?
**[12:38] ---**
Ace... Luffy... Huh?
**[12:42] ---**
Ace, Luffy, huh? Ace, Luffy,
huh? Ace, Luffy, huh?
**[12:47] ---**
Ace! Luffy! Who is that?!
**[12:52] ---**
Who is who?
**[12:56] ---**
It's still early - you're too loud!
**[13:02] ---**
How come there is one more kid?!
**[13:05] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[13:07] ---**
Are you talking about me?
**[13:11] ---**
I'm Sabo! Hey, you must be Dadan!
**[13:14] ---**
Sabo? I've heard your name before!
**[13:17] ---**
Oh yeah? That makes it easier! Thank
you for taking care of me from today!
**[13:23] ---**
"Taking care"? Don't tell me
that you're gonna stay here...
**[13:28] ---**
Don't answer me with a fart!
**[13:33] ---**
You must be kidding! I heard that
you're a worthless brat, too!
**[13:39] ---**
Oh yeah? I heard that you're
a worthless old bag, too!
**[13:44] ---**
That's unnecessary information!
**[13:48] ---**
I don't wanna look after one more brat!
**[13:51] ---**
But I heard that you're a good worthless
old bag because you can't refuse a request.
**[13:57] ---**
I heard that you're a truly
manly worthless old bag!
**[14:00] ---**
"Truly manly"? I'm a woman!
I'm not a gender bender!
**[14:22] ---**
Ace, Luffy, Sabo!
**[14:24] ---**
I'm giving you a place to stay!
You gotta get to work already!
**[14:30] ---**
Thank you, Dadan!
**[14:50] ---**
--See ya!
--See ya!
**[14:52] ---**
Hey, Luffy! You stay here and do
some laundry and clean the house!
**[14:57] ---**
No way!
**[15:00] ---**
Oh, Ace, Sabo, wait!
**[15:02] ---**
Honestly! What annoying brats!
**[15:06] ---**
Oh yeah!
**[15:10] ---**
I forget to tell them.
**[15:12] ---**
Hey, Dadan!
**[15:13] ---**
While we're gone, the Bluejam
clan might come by so be careful!
**[15:19] ---**
The Bluejam clan might come by? Why?
**[15:26] ---**
Because we beat some of his crew up! Bye!
**[15:32] ---**
What?!
**[15:37] ---**
Dadan sure is an understanding
worthless old bag!
**[15:41] ---**
She's still a worthless old bag!
**[15:43] ---**
Plus she's a mountain bandit
and her face is scary!
**[15:47] ---**
What are we gonna do now?
**[15:49] ---**
First...
**[15:51] ---**
Eat something!
**[15:55] ---**
Okay, let's eat!
**[16:19] ---**
Luffy, so you ate the Devil Fruit?
**[16:23] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[16:24] ---**
No wonder you can't swim.
**[16:27] ---**
Here, you can have this, too.
**[16:32] ---**
Thanks!
**[16:33] ---**
You're too kind, Sabo.
**[16:35] ---**
Well, what's wrong with that?
**[16:37] ---**
So, what fruit did you eat?
**[16:39] ---**
Gum-Gum!
**[16:41] ---**
Gum-Gum? Gum?!
**[16:45] ---**
That's right!
**[16:47] ---**
In exchange for the ability to swim,
your body turned to rubber? So crappy!
**[16:51] ---**
It's not crappy! I can use
a lot of unbeatable attacks!
**[16:55] ---**
That's good. Good for you.
**[16:59] ---**
You have such a fat mouth even
though you can't catch a fish.
**[17:06] ---**
Your body really is rubber! Interesting!
**[17:09] ---**
Don't play with my body!
**[17:14] ---**
But rubber surely stretches
and shrinks and expands so...
**[17:19] ---**
...maybe it's useful when you're fighting!
**[17:22] ---**
Right?! Oh yeah, I came
up with another attack.
**[17:27] ---**
It's called "Gum-Gum Balloon"! I can
deflect cannonballs and everything!
**[17:32] ---**
Wow! Can you do it for me now?
**[17:35] ---**
Okay, I'll do it just for
you! Ace can't see it.
**[17:39] ---**
Don't look!
**[17:40] ---**
Here we go! Gum-Gum...
**[17:48] ---**
What?! What is it?! What the hell?!
**[17:51] ---**
Awesome! You're getting bigger and bigger!
**[17:54] ---**
...Balloon! See it?! It's cool, isn't it?!
**[17:59] ---**
Well, I don't think it's cool...
**[18:03] ---**
It's good for working off my meal!
**[18:05] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[18:07] ---**
Sabo, kick it back!
**[18:10] ---**
Ah, okay.
**[18:14] ---**
Stop it!
**[18:15] ---**
Is that the unbeatable attack
that will deflect cannonballs?!
**[18:19] ---**
Stop it!
**[18:21] ---**
Then, why don't you deflect my kick?!
**[18:24] ---**
Stop it!
**[18:41] ---**
--Wait! You can't just eat and run!
--Wait! You can't just eat and run!
**[18:46] ---**
--You bastard!
--You bastard!
**[18:52] ---**
--Take this!
--Take this!
**[18:59] ---**
Well, what can I say? Let it go.
**[19:03] ---**
I can't! I almost got eaten!
**[19:06] ---**
Calm down. You can have a lot
of crocodile meat for dinner.
**[19:11] ---**
Then I forgive you guys.
**[19:13] ---**
That easily?
**[19:15] ---**
I wanna eat the crocodile already.
I can't wait until dinner.
**[19:20] ---**
Ace! I wanna check something quickly.
**[19:26] ---**
Can you come with me?
**[19:36] ---**
--Did you find it?
--Look carefully!
**[19:40] ---**
I'm glad that we moved the "pirate savings".
**[19:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:44] ---**
Do you wanna check the Gray Terminal, too?
**[19:47] ---**
Yeah, okay. Why don't you go home now?
**[19:51] ---**
No!
**[19:56] ---**
He won't listen to anyone.
**[20:04] ---**
There are hooligans from the city
and Bluejam's people everywhere.
**[20:08] ---**
They're serious!
**[20:11] ---**
I bet that Bluejam got really frustrated.
**[20:20] ---**
Hey, guys! The kids that you're
looking for are all here!
**[20:25] ---**
There they are!
**[20:27] ---**
Stop! You can't run from us!
**[20:36] ---**
I can't believe that they bought
over pops at the Terminal.
**[20:40] ---**
We'd better lay low for a
while until things calm down.
**[20:46] ---**
Who cares? We'll just fight if they find us.
**[20:50] ---**
That's true but we don't have
to look for trouble ourselves.
**[20:55] ---**
I agree with Sabo!
**[20:57] ---**
You just shut up!
**[21:03] ---**
Bluejam... The kids made quite an enemy!
**[21:08] ---**
I'm sure that they're gonna find
this place and come by pretty soon!
**[21:13] ---**
There is no way that we can defeat them...
**[21:16] ---**
Maybe this is the end of the Dadan family!
**[21:19] ---**
I have to say goodbye to the
humble-but-sweet mountain bandit's life?
**[21:25] ---**
It's better to quit the mountain bandit
business than to get exterminated!
**[21:34] ---**
"We can't defeat them"?
"Out of business"?
**[21:36] ---**
How pathetic you guys are!
**[21:39] ---**
Don't you take pride in
being a mountain bandit?!
**[21:43] ---**
It's easy!
**[21:45] ---**
If they come by,
**[21:47] ---**
we can just hand Ace and
the other two over to them!
**[21:51] ---**
But, boss, how do we explain it to Garp?!
**[21:56] ---**
Plus, Bluejam is not the kind of guy who
will be satisfied by just handing them over!
**[22:03] ---**
Th-Then...
**[22:06] ---**
Then?
**[22:10] ---**
Let's just pretend that
we don't know anything!
**[22:13] ---**
Now, try it! We gotta practice!
**[22:17] ---**
You guys, are Ace and Sabo
here? Just spit it out!
**[22:21] ---**
I-I don't know...
**[22:25] ---**
Terrible liars!
**[22:28] ---**
Boss! Boss! Ace and the other two are back!
**[22:45] ---**
Ace's close friend Sabo
started to live with them
**[22:49] ---**
after being forced to
leave the Gray Terminal.
**[22:53] ---**
Ace, Sabo, Luffy.
**[22:57] ---**
These three soon began spending their time
**[23:00] ---**
fighting with wild animals in
the mountain and in the jungle
**[23:03] ---**
and with hooligans from the
city and pirates at the cove.
**[23:08] ---**
In the end, the people at
the center of the kingdom
**[23:13] ---**
came to know their wrongdoing!
**[23:25] ---**
The names of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo
**[23:27] ---**
gradually gain fame among
the thugs in the town.
**[23:31] ---**
Then, one day, the three
of them meet a certain boy.
**[23:35] ---**
That meeting would change
their destinies in a big way!
**[23:39] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:41] ---**
"To The Sea Someday!
The Pledge of the Three Brats!"
**[23:44] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
