**[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] ---**

**[01:29] ---**
Without giving up to the flow of time
**[01:34] ---**

**[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!
**[03:33] ---**
After losing his brother Ace during
the War of the Best against the Navy,
**[03:37] ---**
Luffy was consumed with unbearable sorrow.
**[03:40] ---**
However, 10 years ago, in the East Blue...
**[03:44] ---**
What did you do?!
**[03:48] ---**
Ace!
**[03:50] ---**
Don't do it!!
**[04:00] ---**
"Where can freedom be found?
A Sad Departure of a Boy!"
**[04:12] ---**
Dadan!
**[04:15] ---**
Stop it, you sea cretin!
**[04:21] ---**
Let go of Ace!
**[04:35] ---**
What are you guys doing here?
**[04:37] ---**
Finally we found you!
**[04:38] ---**
These are pretty serious
wounds, Luffy! Are you okay?
**[04:43] ---**
Dogra...
**[04:47] ---**
I don't see Sabo anywhere!
**[04:49] ---**
Sabo went home. He's not here.
**[04:58] ---**
Ace!
**[04:59] ---**
You're the boss monkey from Mt. Corvo!
**[05:03] ---**
I'm the mountain bandit - Dadan!
**[05:05] ---**
I don't know why but I'm registered
as their foster parent.
**[05:12] ---**
I won't stand by and watch someone
try to take my boys' lives...
**[05:17] ---**
...even if I'm not their real parent!
**[05:21] ---**
I'll just let you go if you back away.
**[05:23] ---**
If you don't, I'll have
to resort to violence!
**[05:38] ---**
Try it!
**[05:40] ---**
Oh yeah? Alright then...
**[05:48] ---**
Run!
**[05:49] ---**
Yes, boss!
**[05:53] ---**
Hey, what're you doing?!
**[05:55] ---**
Ace, hurry up!
**[05:57] ---**
Ace!
**[06:01] ---**
I...
**[06:05] ---**
...won't run!
**[06:08] ---**
What're you saying, Ace?!
Don't try to fight him!
**[06:13] ---**
Bluejam is a real villain!
**[06:15] ---**
He's not a guy that a kid like you can beat!
**[06:19] ---**
--L-Let me fight, too!
--No, Luffy!
**[06:26] ---**
You all, why don't you
take Luffy and go ahead!
**[06:30] ---**
B-Boss!
**[06:32] ---**
I'll take responsibility
for bringing Ace home!
**[06:39] ---**
Boss!
**[06:41] ---**
Go!
**[06:43] ---**
--Y-Yes, ma'am!
--Ace!
**[06:46] ---**
Boss! Come home safely!
**[06:53] ---**
A woman and a child.
**[06:57] ---**
If you overestimate your
ability, you'll only get hurt!
**[07:03] ---**
Only the strong and the
cowardly survive in wars!
**[07:08] ---**
The brave always die.
**[07:12] ---**
Is that so?
**[07:15] ---**
What a fool!
**[07:26] ---**
Damn!
**[07:29] ---**
I'm a dead man! The fire
is all over the place!
**[07:34] ---**
How could this happen all of the sudden?!
**[07:36] ---**
--It's hot! It's hot!
--There's no way out!
**[07:45] ---**
We have to give up!
**[08:12] ---**
What just happened?
**[08:15] ---**
There's a path!
**[08:17] ---**
The explosion left a path!
**[08:19] ---**
I don't know what's going
on but this is great!
**[08:21] ---**
Hey look, there is a ship!
**[08:25] ---**
I see a ship!
**[08:27] ---**
This path leads up to the shore!
**[08:30] ---**
We can get away by following it!
**[08:33] ---**
Let's go before the fire returns!
**[08:39] ---**
How awful they are to burn the
area and the residents there!
**[08:45] ---**
By the way,
**[08:47] ---**
how did you know the situation in such
an outlying country in the East Blue?
**[08:52] ---**
Is there something special
about this country?
**[08:55] ---**
This country is an example of how
the world will be in the future.
**[09:00] ---**
There can be no happiness in a world
**[09:03] ---**
where the undesirables are thrown away.
**[09:06] ---**
Someday, I will change the world!
**[09:11] ---**
If I stay here... I'll never be free!
**[09:18] ---**
Even in a country like
this, there are children.
**[09:34] ---**
Those of you who are willing to
fight for freedom, come aboard!
***SIGN*** GOA KINGDOM "ROYAL PALACE"
***SIGN*** HIGH TOWN
**[09:58] ---**
Did they find Sabo?
**[10:00] ---**
I just called in the military.
They'll find him soon.
**[10:05] ---**
I see. Sabo is giving us
a hard time, isn't he?
**[10:10] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:15] ---**
Is this town really safe?
**[10:17] ---**
It looks like the fire will
engulf the town any minute!
**[10:23] ---**
Isn't there any way to enter High Town?
**[10:27] ---**
No, there isn't.
**[10:29] ---**
They don't even allow a bug
to enter - nobles only!
**[10:33] ---**
--Boss!
--Boss!
**[10:38] ---**
Ace!
**[10:39] ---**
Boss!
**[10:42] ---**
Ace!
**[10:44] ---**
Boss!
**[10:48] ---**
Ace and Dadan didn't return
from the burning Gray Terminal.
**[11:10] ---**
Easy, easy, wait, Luffy. You're not
recovered - where're you going?
**[11:14] ---**
I gotta go and look for Ace and Dadan!
**[11:17] ---**
You can't do that!
**[11:21] ---**
Ouch!
**[11:23] ---**
See? That's what I told you.
**[11:29] ---**
You're seriously wounded. You
have to rest nice and easy.
**[11:34] ---**
There are a lot of troops
in the Gray Terminal now
**[11:36] ---**
to take care of the mess after the fire.
**[11:41] ---**
It's not just burned junk
that they're throing out,
**[11:45] ---**
but survivors, too.
**[11:48] ---**
They're gonna kill you if you go there.
**[11:51] ---**
But...!
**[12:03] ---**
I wanna see Ace!
**[12:05] ---**
I know that Sabo is worrying about us, too!
***SIGN*** THE FORMER SITE OF THE GRAY TERMINAL
**[12:16] ---**
What a great view!
**[12:18] ---**
How can you be so happy?
**[12:20] ---**
It's a pain in the butt
to clean up this mess!
**[12:31] ---**
If we find a survivor, we're
to shoot them on sight.
**[12:35] ---**
There aren't any.
**[12:36] ---**
But there aren't as many dead
bodies as I thought there'd be.
**[12:39] ---**
It was a big fire. It could've
burned out the bones.
**[12:45] ---**
I was nervous yesterday,
**[12:47] ---**
thinking that the
fire might get to this side of the wall.
**[12:51] ---**
They say that Bluejam's
ship was on fire, too.
**[12:54] ---**
It's nice to know that
those villains got burned!
**[13:04] ---**
It's morning!
**[13:22] ---**
Hi! it's a nice day, isn't it?
**[13:25] ---**
Yes, it is a lovely morning!
**[13:42] ---**
There are still so many of them!
**[13:46] ---**
Enough with this game of tag, okay boy?
**[14:14] ---**
No matter how many times you
run, you can't get away, Sabo!
**[14:17] ---**
All the police and troops
have a picture of you now!
**[14:22] ---**
You will never get out of High Town...
**[14:26] ---**
or even out of this house!
**[14:29] ---**
You two, change your uniforms and
start working here as guards.
**[14:34] ---**
But we have our duties...
**[14:36] ---**
There is nothing that a nobleman can't do.
**[14:40] ---**
I'll get the approval of your superiors.
**[14:46] ---**
Sabo, you must barricade
yourself in your room
**[14:49] ---**
and educate yourself in your role as a noble!
**[14:53] ---**
No!
**[14:54] ---**
As you know, I can make things
happen just by giving the word.
**[15:00] ---**
So I can take care of
you or those two easily.
**[15:05] ---**
Am I understood?
**[15:08] ---**
Dad...
**[15:12] ---**
Ace... Luffy...
**[15:20] ---**
So why don't you mend your ways
and study hard like Stelly.
**[15:26] ---**
And...
**[15:27] ---**
...study so that you can make your parents,
**[15:30] ---**
who brought you into the world, happy!
**[15:34] ---**
Because that will make you happy, too!
**[15:37] ---**
Don't you think so?
**[15:42] ---**
Father!
**[15:45] ---**
Don't worry! I'm here for you!
**[15:50] ---**
You're so dependable, Stelly!
**[15:52] ---**
Okay, Let me buy you some luxurious clothes
**[15:55] ---**
for the ceremony the day after tomorrow.
**[15:57] ---**
There, we'll see the
Celestial Dragon in person!
**[16:09] ---**
I'm... helpless!
**[16:16] ---**
Okay, that's it for today.
**[16:26] ---**
I'll check your homework tomorrow.
**[16:30] ---**
Okay, have a nice day!
**[16:41] ---**
Ace... Luffy...
**[16:45] ---**
I don't think that you died in the fire.
**[16:49] ---**
You guys are okay, aren't you?
**[17:02] ---**
I wish I could see you.
**[17:09] ---**
But I know I'll put you guys in
danger if I try to see you now.
**[17:15] ---**
This place is like a birdcage!
**[17:18] ---**
I don't think I can stand living in
this country filled with stale air.
**[17:30] ---**
What is freedom?
**[17:33] ---**
Where can I find it?
**[17:36] ---**
Your shift is over.
**[17:38] ---**
Is it the time already?
**[17:40] ---**
You shouldn't be sleeping on the job.
**[17:43] ---**
Sorry. By the way, how
are things in the town?
**[17:46] ---**
The ceremony is just a day away, right?
**[17:49] ---**
It's crazy. People are going
wild getting ready for it.
**[17:53] ---**
What bad luck!
**[17:56] ---**
It's a once-in-a-lifetime
thing but I got to be here.
**[18:00] ---**
This boy and I will be the only
two in this house tomorrow.
**[18:07] ---**
I wanted to see the Celestial Dragon.
**[18:11] ---**
It depends on your attitude.
**[18:13] ---**
All the citizens will be
at the harbor tomorrow.
**[18:17] ---**
It'll be such a pain to stand guard there,
**[18:20] ---**
compared with this baby-sitting gig!
**[18:23] ---**
Then, why don't you take my place?
**[18:27] ---**
No way!
**[18:32] ---**
Alright, we're leaving now.
**[18:34] ---**
Take good care of Sabo.
**[18:37] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[19:05] ---**
The day of the World Noble
from the Grand Line's visit
**[19:08] ---**
to the Goa Kingdom has arrived.
**[19:12] ---**
A lavish ceremony is prepared
for the arrival of the ship.
**[19:23] ---**
Ring, ring, ring... Ring,
ring, ring... Clank!
**[19:27] ---**
Hello, this is A-team on the coast.
**[19:29] ---**
The Celestial Dragon's ship
will arrive in a few minutes.
**[19:35] ---**
Roger that. It's all quiet here.
**[19:39] ---**
We'll continue to stand guard.
**[19:41] ---**
Clank!
**[19:50] ---**
Hey, look! There is a ship leaving port!
**[19:55] ---**
--What?
--Is it a fishing boat?
**[19:59] ---**
Hey! Come back here! Don't get
in the way of the ceremony!
**[20:05] ---**
It's a child! There's a child on the ship!
**[20:09] ---**
A child? I wonder which family he's from.
**[20:13] ---**
A child?
**[20:15] ---**
Honey, could it be...?!
**[20:17] ---**
No, that's impossible! The
guard is looking after him!
**[20:33] ---**
What a nice day! It's
perfect for setting sail!
**[20:43] ---**
Oh no! That's mine! Somebody
stole my fish boat!
**[20:49] ---**
Look! He has a black flag on it!
**[20:51] ---**
Does he think that he's a pirate?!
**[20:54] ---**
No way! A kid can't just become a pirate!
**[20:57] ---**
--Where is he heading?
--He's disrupting the ceremony.
**[21:01] ---**
The Government's ship will arrive soon!
**[21:04] ---**
Hurry up and do something!
**[21:06] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[21:08] ---**
Hey!
**[21:10] ---**
Kid, come back here now!
**[21:16] ---**
The scariest fate for me is to
lose myself in this country and...
**[21:21] ---**
turn into someone else!
**[21:27] ---**
I'm not gonna go back!
**[21:32] ---**
Is it Sabo on that ship?
**[21:38] ---**
The Government's ship is here!
**[22:00] ---**
The ship is huge!
**[22:02] ---**
I'll die if I crash into it.
**[22:06] ---**
Let's avoid that.
**[22:12] ---**
Good. He's turning away.
**[22:23] ---**
It seems like the commoners are welcoming us.
**[22:27] ---**
Yes.
**[22:30] ---**
They're so blessed that
it's rare to even see them!
**[22:35] ---**
I can't believe that a real
Celestial Dragon is on that ship!
**[22:39] ---**
By the way, what is that?
**[22:44] ---**
That looks like a fish boat.
**[22:50] ---**
It'd be nice to be captain
of a ship like that someday!
**[22:57] ---**
Commoner!
**[23:08] ---**
How rude is that!
**[23:10] ---**
The fishing boat has been hit!
**[23:25] ---**
Ace and Dadan return to their hideout.
**[23:28] ---**
As everyone is rejoicing
over their safe return,
**[23:30] ---**
they learn of the tragedy
that struck Sabo at the port.
**[23:34] ---**
Realizing with sympathy
what Sabo had tried to do,
**[23:37] ---**
Luffy and Ace are befallen
by regret and grief.
**[23:40] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[23:41] ---**
"Take Good Care of Him! A
Letter from the Brother!"
**[23:45] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
