    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] ---
    saa yukou
[01:23] ---
    So let's go
[01:25] ---
    tachidomaru koto naku
[01:25] ---
    Without stopping
[01:29] ---
    nagareru toki ni makenai youni
[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] ---

[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.
[03:42] ---
    There is, however, an untold
    story of the brothers...
[03:45] ---
    ...10 years ago in the East
    Blue - Luffy and Ace as boys.
[03:56] ---
    "Take Good Care of Him! A
    Letter from the Brother!"
[04:03] ---
    Ace is not dead!
[04:06] ---
    Easy, easy, I know. I know how you feel.
[04:09] ---
    But it's too risky to go to Gray Terminal now
[04:12] ---
    since you're wounded and
    there are troops everywhere!
[04:14] ---
    --But...!
    --It was a big fire! And chances are...
[04:20] ---
    ...slim but we all want to believe
    that the boss and Ace are alive.
[04:25] ---
    Dogra went there to look for
    them now so trust him and wait.
[04:30] ---
    Everybody's having a hard
    time - not just you, Luffy.
[04:37] ---
    --The fishing boat has been hit!
    --How's the child?
[04:40] ---
    He made the Celestial Dragon mad!
[04:44] ---
    Sabo!
[04:46] ---
    Damn! The ship is catching fire!
[04:49] ---
    Why did they shoot me like that?
[04:51] ---
    Saint Jalmack! There is a child on the ship!
[04:54] ---
    When someone flies a black flag, he's
    a pirate regardless of who he is.
[04:59] ---
    But most importantly...
[05:06] ---
    Dammit!
[05:07] ---
    A commoner shouldn't cross
    the path of my ship!!
[05:32] ---
    Hey! What was that ship doing?
[05:35] ---
    This is an important ceremony!
[05:37] ---
    We don't
    wanna put the Celestial Dragon in a bad mood!
[05:40] ---
    Move the shipwreck already!
[06:05] ---
    Guys!
[06:07] ---
    Hey guys, those two...
[06:09] ---
    What is it?
[06:12] ---
    They're back!
[06:34] ---
    I'm so relieved!
[06:37] ---
    Ace... Boss...
[06:40] ---
    She's severely wounded!
    Hurry up and treat her!
[06:44] ---
    Are you alright?
[06:48] ---
    Ace!
[06:50] ---
    Luffy!
[06:54] ---
    Did you think that I was dead?
[06:57] ---
    --But...!
    --Why are you crying?!
[07:00] ---
    I'm not dead, fool!
[07:03] ---
    Easy, easy, that's enough.
[07:06] ---
    Luffy is just happy.
[07:14] ---
    Can I ask you about the night of the fire?
[07:17] ---
    After we left with Luffy,
[07:19] ---
    what happened to you and boss?
[07:22] ---
    We fought against Bluejam...
[07:52] ---
    And we barely defeated him.
[07:58] ---
    And we tried to follow you guys right away
[08:02] ---
    but the fire was blocking our way.
[08:05] ---
    Damn! There's no way out!
[08:07] ---
    We have no choice!
[08:10] ---
    --Wait!
    --What are you doing?!
[08:12] ---
    I have no choice since I told them
[08:16] ---
    that I'd take responsibility
    for bringing you home...
[08:21] ---
    Follow my lead. Don't get
    separated at any cost!
[08:27] ---
    Dadan!
[08:39] ---
    Hey, Dadan! Are you alright, Dadan?!
[08:42] ---
    We finally made it through the fire
[08:45] ---
    
    but Dadan got severely burned.
[08:48] ---
    We managed to get to the riverside
    in the In-Between Forest.
[08:57] ---
    Stay with me! You can't die!
[09:01] ---
    Thief!
[09:02] ---
    Wait! Stop!
[09:05] ---
    I went to the town to steal some
    medicine and get something to eat
[09:10] ---
    and tried to save Dadan's life.
[09:20] ---
    You don't have to worry
    about me so just go, Ace.
[09:24] ---
    Cut the crap! I thought you were
    responsible for bringing me home!
[09:29] ---
    I won't allow you to die!
[09:32] ---
    Hey!
[09:33] ---
    Some survivors could be around here!
[09:36] ---
    Don't let anyone get away! Get them!
[09:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:43] ---
    Okay, okay, we see.
[09:45] ---
    In any case,
    I'm glad that you both survived!
[09:48] ---
    Sorry that I made you worry.
[09:51] ---
    I can't believe what
    happened to Gray Terminal.
[09:55] ---
    I wonder if Sabo is worrying about us.
[09:57] ---
    --Banzai!
    --Banzai!
[10:00] ---
    Another rude commoner could
    appear at any minute.
[10:05] ---
    --Watch carefully.
    --Yes, sir!
[10:14] ---
    I wonder how's Sabo doing?
[10:16] ---
    But I'm glad that Ace is back
    and Dadan is recovering.
[10:22] ---
    Ace, at that moment...
[10:25] ---
    I won't run!
[10:30] ---
    Why didn't you run?
[10:31] ---
    I can't help getting fired up sometimes.
[10:35] ---
    I'm always afraid that if I run,
[10:37] ---
    I'll leave something important behind.
[10:39] ---
    At that moment...
[10:43] ---
    Luffy was behind me.
[10:47] ---
    I don't know but I think that's why.
[10:53] ---
    Even when he faced a cloud
    of enemies beyond his power,
[10:58] ---
    Roger would never run away.
[11:00] ---
    Was he suicidal? Running
    away is a strategy, too.
[11:03] ---
    That's right but he'd never do that.
[11:06] ---
    Because he'd leave the
    people he loved behind.
[11:09] ---
    If he ran, he would put his crew in danger.
[11:13] ---
    Actually, "he wouldn't run
    away" isn't quite right.
[11:17] ---
    He wouldn't let the enemy have
    a chance to go after his crew.
[11:21] ---
    He'd change into a sort of
    demon in those situations.
[11:25] ---
    He once destroyed a country's entire military
[11:27] ---
    because they talked badly about his crew.
[11:30] ---
    He'd become violent when angry.
[11:33] ---
    
    He was short-tempered and selfish.
[11:34] ---
    But he was naive and straightforward
    like a child at the same time.
[11:40] ---
    That's because his early life was like Ace's.
[11:43] ---
    He hated to lose those he loved.
[11:51] ---
    He was that reckless but he survived,
[11:53] ---
    and became the King of the Pirates.
[11:58] ---
    Although he got a bad reputation,
    his crew trusted him implicitly.
[12:03] ---
    Even I as a Navy soldier
    couldn't help respecting him.
[12:09] ---
    That's why I decided to take care of Ace.
[12:12] ---
    We're the ones taking care of him!
[12:14] ---
    Huh? Have something you want to say?
[12:17] ---
    No, I don't.
[12:20] ---
    The people of the world still hate Roger.
[12:23] ---
    And while Ace hates his father,
[12:25] ---
    it really is "like father, like son."
[12:28] ---
    Alright! Let's see which
    one of you will win...
[12:32] ---
    Dogra!
[12:35] ---
    You were looking for Ace and Dadan, right?
[12:38] ---
    They're back!
[12:40] ---
    Oh yeah? That's great.
[12:45] ---
    W-What?! Sabo is...
[12:49] ---
    Stop lying, you fool!
    Don't even joke about it!
[12:53] ---
    Stop, Ace!
[12:54] ---
    I'm not lying or joking
    about it! It was so sudden!
[12:58] ---
    I could barely believe what I saw!
[13:01] ---
    I thought I was dreaming!
[13:04] ---
    Shut up! Sabo went back to his family's home!
[13:08] ---
    How could he be at sea?!
[13:10] ---
    That's right! He went home!
[13:12] ---
    A hoodlum like me can
    understand how he feels!
[13:15] ---
    People don't always wanna
    go back to their home!
[13:19] ---
    If he was really happy,
    he wouldn't go out to sea!
[13:24] ---
    He wouldn't go out to sea by himself
    with a black flag on his ship!
[13:40] ---
    Sabo...
[13:42] ---
    He wasn't happy!
[13:46] ---
    I was all by myself even if I had parents!
[13:50] ---
    Why?! Why didn't we go
    there to take him back?!
[13:56] ---
    Where is the guy who killed
    Sabo now?! I'm gonna kill him!
[14:00] ---
    K-Kill the Celestial Dragon?!
    That's impossible...
[14:02] ---
    I'll make him pay!
[14:04] ---
    Wait, Ace!
[14:07] ---
    Stop it, you little shit!
[14:09] ---
    Move...
[14:11] ---
    Outta my way!
[14:12] ---
    How can you be so confident even
    though you're not that strong?!
[14:17] ---
    What can you do?! They'll just kill you!
[14:20] ---
    You'll die and people will
    forget you by tomorrow!
[14:22] ---
    You're just a nameless kid!
[14:26] ---
    Sabo was killed by this country! This world!
[14:31] ---
    What can you do about it?!
[14:34] ---
    Your father changed the world by his death!
[14:37] ---
    When you become a man that important,
[14:40] ---
    then you can do whatever you want!
[14:46] ---
    Tie this fool up!
[14:48] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[14:50] ---
    Sabo!!
[14:54] ---
    Damn!
[14:57] ---
    Shut up! Stop crying like a girl, Luffy!
[15:32] ---
    Have you come to your senses, Ace?
[15:39] ---
    --Untie him.
    --Yes, ma'am.
[15:43] ---
    Hold on.
[15:45] ---
    --Where's Luffy?
    --He's been crying all night and he's sleeping now.
[15:50] ---
    Boss! You're not gonna believe this!
[15:53] ---
    We got a letter from Sabo!
SIGN    TO MY BROTHERS AT MT. CORVO FROM SABO
[15:55] ---
    He must've sent it before he went out to sea!
[16:00] ---
    Give it to me!
[16:01] ---
    I'm not gonna go to the town!
    It's for us, isn't it?
[16:12] ---
    "Ace, Luffy, I hope you guys
    weren't hurt in the fire."
[16:16] ---
    "I'm worrying about you both but
    I believe that you're okay."
[16:20] ---
    "I'm sorry to say it, guys, but when you
    get this letter, I'll already be..."
[16:26] ---
    "...out on the sea."
[16:29] ---
    "Things led to things and I decided
    to set out to sea before you."
[16:39] ---
    "My destination will be anywhere but here."
[16:44] ---
    "I'm gonna become stronger
    and become a pirate!"
[16:50] ---
    "The three of us have to become
    the freest pirates ever."
[16:52] ---
    "One day, let's meet up again somewhere."
[16:56] ---
    "Somewhere on the wide open sea!
    Definitely, someday!"
[17:04] ---
    "By the way, Ace, which of us
    do you think is the bigger brother?"
[17:10] ---
    "Two big brothers and one little brother."
[17:15] ---
    "It's odd but our brotherhood
    is my treasure."
[17:24] ---
    "Luffy is still a weak crybaby but..."
[17:34] ---
    "...he is our little brother
    so take good care of him!"
[18:05] ---
    How could they call themselves
    observers?! They're partying everyday!
[18:11] ---
    They haven't covered Sabo's story...
[18:15] ---
    I heard that his parents didn't take action.
[18:17] ---
    His parents are nobles
[18:19] ---
    but they're powerless against the World
    Government and Celestial Dragons.
[18:25] ---
    How's Luffy doing?
[18:27] ---
    He still isn't eating much.
[18:30] ---
    But he still eats twice as much as we do!
[18:32] ---
    I bet Sabo's death really got to him...
[19:01] ---
    Ace! Luffy!
[19:03] ---
    We gotta set out to sea someday!
[19:06] ---
    Let's get out of this
    country and live freely!
[19:11] ---
    So from now on,
[19:14] ---
    we're brothers!
[19:37] ---
    How much longer are you gonna lie there?
[19:42] ---
    The treasure that we were hiding
    in the forest is all gone.
[19:48] ---
    The survivors from Bluejam's crew took
    it or maybe the military found it.
[19:53] ---
    I don't know where it went.
[19:56] ---
    But I don't care about the treasure anymore.
[20:00] ---
    That was the pirate savings that
    I was gonna share with Sabo
[20:05] ---
    but Sabo didn't need it after all.
[20:08] ---
    So I'll just let it go, too.
[20:13] ---
    It's no use having treasure
    if you can't even protect it.
[20:17] ---
    A-Ace... I...
[20:23] ---
    I wanna become stronger!
[20:26] ---
    More, and more...
[20:29] ---
    More and more, more and more...
[20:32] ---
    More, more and more, more and more...
[20:37] ---
    More and more, more and more...
[20:41] ---
    I wanna become even stronger!
[20:43] ---
    Then I can protect anything or anyone!
    I don't have to lose anybody!
[20:51] ---
    I beg you!
[20:53] ---
    Ace, please don't die!
[20:57] ---
    Cut it out! Worry about yourself first!
[21:02] ---
    You're far weaker than me!
[21:05] ---
    Listen carefully, Luffy!
[21:08] ---
    I'll never die!
[21:13] ---
    Uh-huh.
[21:15] ---
    Sabo told me to take care of you, too.
[21:18] ---
    I promise that I'll never die!
[21:23] ---
    How can I leave a wimpy
    brother like you behind?
[21:27] ---
    Uh-huh... Uh-huh!
[21:29] ---
    I'm not smart so I don't quite
    know what really killed Sabo yet.
[21:36] ---
    But it must be something opposed to freedom.
[21:40] ---
    Sabo died before he knew freedom.
[21:44] ---
    We exchanged that same cup
    of sake and we're alive!
[21:51] ---
    So listen, Luffy.
[21:54] ---
    We have to live without leaving any regrets.
[21:59] ---
    Uh-huh.
[22:13] ---
    Boys from noble family...
[22:16] ---
    ...will become full nobles when they turn 18.
[22:21] ---
    That's why I need to leave here by 17!
[22:27] ---
    We gotta go out to sea someday...
[22:33] ---
    ...and live as we like.
    Freer than anyone else.
[22:37] ---
    Uh-huh!
[22:40] ---
    That means we'll make enemies of many people.
[22:44] ---
    Even the old man will become our enemy.
[22:47] ---
    You gotta risk everything.
[22:49] ---
    Let's go out to sea at 17!
[22:52] ---
    And we will become... pirates!
[23:25] ---
    Luffy and Ace are stricken with grief,
[23:28] ---
    but they hold on to their
    dream of becoming pirates
[23:31] ---
    and set off toward the future again.
[23:34] ---
    Their day of departure will come...
[23:36] ---
    To achieve the dream that
    Sabo was unable to realize!
[23:40] ---
    On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:41] ---
    "To Live Up to the Promise!
    Departures of Their Own!"
[23:45] ---
    I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
