**[00:13] ---**
Inherited will...
**[00:14] ---**
The tide of the times...
People's dreams...
**[00:17] ---**
These things cannot be stopped.
**[00:20] ---**
As long as people seek
the answer of freedom,
**[00:23] ---**
these things will never cease to be!
**[00:35] ---**
I only believe in the future--
I don't care if anyone laughs
**[00:41] ---**
That racing passion makes you shine
**[00:46] ---**
It's too bright, but I want to gaze at it
**[00:52] ---**
I sense "aesthetics" somewhere
**[00:56] ---**
I'm really, really stuck on you
**[00:59] ---**
I follow, follow in the footsteps
of a dream that resembles no one
**[01:05] ---**
Until I dramatically get it
**[01:09] ---**
Believe In Wonderland!
**[01:18] ---**
I'm going to catch, catch the shape
of a dream no one can see
**[01:24] ---**
I'm going to go with you,
so passionate feelings
**[01:30] ---**
I don't really need
everything to add up
**[01:33] ---**
Rather than run-of-the-mill daily life,
**[01:36] ---**
run for paradise instead
**[01:40] ---**
Believe In Wonderland!
**[01:51] ---**
Laboon isn't an ordinary whale.
He's a whale with a human heart.
**[01:59] ---**
"A Promise Between Men!
Luffy and the Whale Vow to Meet Again"
**[02:06] ---**
Why does Laboon continue
to hit the Red Line?
**[02:10] ---**
Why does he continue to
howl at Reverse Mountain?
**[02:21] ---**
I'll tell you... Laboon's story...
**[02:26] ---**
Huh?
**[02:44] ---**
One day, while I was on duty
as the lighthouse keeper as usual,
**[02:48] ---**
some good-natured pirates
**[02:50] ---**
came down Reverse Mountain
and entered the Grand Line.
**[02:55] ---**
And a small whale came in as well,
as if following them.
**[03:00] ---**
That was Laboon.
**[03:03] ---**
The Island Whale lives
only in the West Blue,
**[03:07] ---**
and it's the world's largest whale.
**[03:10] ---**
The pirates had been traveling
with Laboon all that time,
**[03:14] ---**
but they left him in the West Blue since
the Grand Line is extremely dangerous.
**[03:21] ---**
Although they thought they did,
he followed them.
**[03:24] ---**
Island Whales usually
travel together as a group,
**[03:30] ---**
but I suspect Laboon felt that
he was a member of that pirate group.
**[03:35] ---**
Since their ship had broken down,
they stayed at the cape for several months.
**[03:40] ---**
So we became quite good friends.
**[03:45] ---**
Because of that,
on the day of their departure...
**[03:49] ---**
I have a favor to ask, since I trust you.
**[03:51] ---**
Could you take care of him for 2-3 years?
**[03:54] ---**
We'll go around the world
and definitely come back here.
**[03:59] ---**
Listen up, Laboon.
**[04:01] ---**
We'll now go into the Grand Line
and travel around the world.
**[04:05] ---**
But you wait for us here.
**[04:08] ---**
It's a dangerous place.
**[04:09] ---**
We can't take you with us.
**[04:13] ---**
Don't worry. Three years
will pass by like a flash.
**[04:16] ---**
Don't forget... that we're
buddies even if we're far apart.
**[04:25] ---**
Well then, we're setting off now...
**[04:30] ---**
Guys! We're setting sail! Hoist the anchor!
**[04:34] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:39] ---**
Laboon!
**[04:42] ---**
Laboon! Wait for us!
**[04:44] ---**
We'll come back here for sure...!
**[04:46] ---**
For sure!!
**[05:00] ---**
That was 50 long years ago...
**[05:03] ---**
50 years...!
**[05:04] ---**
Laboon has been waiting
for those guys for 50 years?
**[05:08] ---**
Is that why he continues to howl
at the wall, hitting himself on it?
**[05:12] ---**
Yeah...
**[05:22] ---**
This is an amazing canal.
**[05:24] ---**
I'm surprised that he's still alive,
having a hole like this inside his body.
**[05:27] ---**
Is this also your playful mind?
**[05:28] ---**
--A doctor's playful mind.
--Doctor?
**[05:31] ---**
I may not look one, but I'm a doctor.
**[05:33] ---**
I also ran a clinic on
the cape a long time ago.
**[05:37] ---**
It was just for a few years,
but I was also a ship's doctor.
**[05:40] ---**
Really?
**[05:41] ---**
Then be our ship's doctor!
**[05:43] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[05:45] ---**
I no longer have the energy to do
reckless things like you guys do.
**[05:49] ---**
A doctor, huh? That's why the inside
of the whale's body is like this...
**[05:53] ---**
Then these are from the treatment...
**[05:55] ---**
That's right.
**[05:56] ---**
When the whale is this big,
it's impossible to treat it from outside.
**[06:02] ---**
I'm gonna open the doors.
**[06:15] ---**
There it is!! The real sky!!
**[06:27] ---**
Hm? Miss Wednesday, what on earth...
**[06:30] ---**
Shhh...
**[06:32] ---**
But 50 years....?
**[06:34] ---**
Those pirates sure are
making him wait a long time...
**[06:36] ---**
Idiot! This is the Grand Line.
**[06:40] ---**
They're dead.
**[06:44] ---**
No matter how long he waits,
they won't come back.
**[06:47] ---**
Yeah, it's true that 50 years ago
**[06:49] ---**
the Grand Line was an uncharted sea
more terrible and chaotic than it is now.
**[06:55] ---**
Why are you talking so hopeless?!
**[06:58] ---**
You don't know that for sure yet!
**[06:59] ---**
They might come back!
**[07:01] ---**
It's a very touching story!
**[07:03] ---**
A whale continues to believe
in the promise his friends made...
**[07:06] ---**
Right, pops?!
**[07:09] ---**
Yeah... But reality is cruel.
**[07:13] ---**
I confirmed it using reliable information.
**[07:16] ---**
They ran away... from the Grand Line.
**[07:21] ---**
Can't be... Don't tell me...
they left without him?!
**[07:27] ---**
Ran away from the Grand Line...
**[07:29] ---**
Does that mean they went
through the Calm Belt alive?
**[07:31] ---**
Even if they are alive,
**[07:34] ---**
they'll probably never come back here.
**[07:36] ---**
Seasons. Weather. Current. Wind direction.
**[07:39] ---**
They are all random.
**[07:41] ---**
Common sense is useless in the Grand Line.
**[07:45] ---**
The terror of the Grand Line
takes over weak minds in an instant.
**[07:50] ---**
So having weak minds,
they ran away from this sea
**[07:53] ---**
without keeping their promise
in order to save their asses...
**[07:59] ---**
They abandoned this whale?!
When he's been waiting for 50 years...?!
**[08:04] ---**
That's cruel!
**[08:06] ---**
If you know that,
why haven't you told him?
**[08:10] ---**
That whale can understand
what people say, right?
**[08:13] ---**
I did tell him... everything.
**[08:17] ---**
Laboon! Listen up!
**[08:19] ---**
I heard that they left the Grand Line.
**[08:23] ---**
You were certainly friends,
**[08:26] ---**
and the promise they made
with you was certainly for real.
**[08:35] ---**
But they'll never come back here...
**[09:00] ---**
Listen to me, Laboon! They're not gonna...
**[09:14] ---**
I understand you don't wanna accept it.
**[09:17] ---**
But somehow you have to accept it...
**[09:21] ---**
Laboon!
**[09:26] ---**
Laboon!
**[09:38] ---**
It's since then that he started
howling at Reverse Mountain
**[09:44] ---**
and that he started slamming
his body against the Red Line...
**[09:47] ---**
It's as if he's insisting that
**[09:49] ---**
they'll come back from the other
side of that wall any time now...
**[09:55] ---**
What a whale...
**[09:56] ---**
When there's no point in waiting...
**[09:58] ---**
He refuses my words
because if he accepts them,
**[10:01] ---**
it means that there
is no point in waiting.
**[10:03] ---**
He's afraid of that more than anything.
**[10:07] ---**
He's from the West Blue.
There's no way of going back there now.
**[10:12] ---**
That's why those pirates he came here
with are his only buddies and hope.
**[10:18] ---**
But you know, it's true
that he is a poor whale,
**[10:22] ---**
but in a way you were
also betrayed, right?
**[10:27] ---**
Haven't you done
enough for him already?
**[10:30] ---**
Look at the scars on his forehead!
**[10:32] ---**
If he continues to hit his head hard
like that, he'll die without doubt.
**[10:38] ---**
It's a strange relationship, but
I've been with him for 50 long years.
**[10:41] ---**
I can't just stand by
and watch him die now.
**[10:43] ---**
Hmph!
**[10:45] ---**
Huh?
**[10:46] ---**
What's that idiot doing?
**[10:48] ---**
When we looked away for a second...
**[10:49] ---**
Is he pretending he's mountain
climbing or something?
**[10:53] ---**
Gum-Gum...
**[10:56] ---**
...Flower Arrangement!
**[10:58] ---**
Isn't that a mast?
**[11:00] ---**
Yep. It's from our ship.
**[11:02] ---**
It's the main mast...
Hey! Don't break the ship!
**[11:13] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[11:26] ---**
Wha...?! Hey, kid!
**[11:27] ---**
Don't worry. He doesn't
die even when he's crushed!
**[11:34] ---**
Ha! Dummy!
**[11:43] ---**
What does he think he's doing?!
**[11:48] ---**
Luffy! What the hell
are you trying to do?!
**[11:56] ---**
It's a draw!
**[12:02] ---**
I'm strong, aren't I?
**[12:05] ---**
You wanna defeat me, don't you?!
**[12:07] ---**
Our fight isn't over yet!
So we have to fight again.
**[12:12] ---**
Your buddies're dead,
but I'm your rival forever.
**[12:15] ---**
We definitely have to fight again
in order to decide who is stronger.
**[12:20] ---**
After going around the Grand Line,
we'll come back to see you again.
**[12:25] ---**
When I come back, let's fight again!
**[12:56] ---**
Hmmm. This is good.
**[12:58] ---**
This is the symbol of
our promise to fight again.
**[13:02] ---**
Until we come back,
**[13:04] ---**
don't remove that mark by
hitting your head. Got that?!
**[13:11] ---**
All right!
**[13:15] ---**
Hm? Where're those guys?
**[13:16] ---**
Those guys? Oh, those two weird people?
**[13:19] ---**
Maybe they ran away?
I wonder who they were after all...
**[13:28] ---**
Miss Wednesday. What do we do now?
**[13:31] ---**
Hmmm.
**[13:33] ---**
In any case, we have to go back once
and at least report to the boss...
**[13:37] ---**
Our estimated mission
completion time has long passed.
**[13:40] ---**
Right. That's not good.
They'll make us out to be traitors.
**[13:44] ---**
Yes. Since we don't have
our weapons any more,
**[13:46] ---**
we'll go back to our
office and start over.
**[13:48] ---**
It can't be helped.
Well then, we... will...
**[13:52] ---**
Hm? Well...? What?!
**[13:55] ---**
What's the matter?
**[13:57] ---**
--It's gone...
--What?
**[13:59] ---**
Huh?
**[14:00] ---**
Hmmm? What the heck is this?
**[14:03] ---**
You dropped the log pose?!
**[14:05] ---**
I'm really sorry, Miss Wednesday!
**[14:06] ---**
We can't even go back
to our town without it.
**[14:11] ---**
As it stands...
**[14:12] ---**
Ah!
**[14:13] ---**
C... Could that be...?!
**[14:16] ---**
What?!
**[14:18] ---**
That's...
**[14:20] ---**
O-Oh, no...
**[14:23] ---**
--The Unluckies!!
--Darn it! Is it too late now, then?!
**[14:26] ---**
--Mr. 13!
--Miss Friday!
**[14:29] ---**
Please wait! We can explain!
**[14:31] ---**
We'll report to the boss immediately!
**[14:49] ---**
Okay then! I'm finally drawing up the
plans for the Grand Line journey now.
**[14:58] ---**
All right! I'm finally cooking
the Elephant Bluefin Tuna!
**[15:01] ---**
Damn...! How dare Luffy
break the ship?! Geez...
**[15:08] ---**
Hey, Zoro! Help me out here!
I'm not a shipwright!
**[15:18] ---**
What's going on? Quiet down.
**[15:19] ---**
What's the matter, Nami-san?!
**[15:21] ---**
If it's food you're
worried about, it's ready!
**[15:23] ---**
Oh? Meal time?
**[15:24] ---**
Th-The compass is broken!
**[15:27] ---**
It doesn't point in any direction...!
**[15:29] ---**
Ahh, you're right.
**[15:30] ---**
It's spinning.
**[15:33] ---**
Whoa! That's cool!
**[15:35] ---**
Looks like you guys came
here with no knowledge.
**[15:39] ---**
For heaven's sake!
Did you come here to die?
**[15:43] ---**
--What?
--Meal?
**[15:44] ---**
Feed, in your case!
**[15:46] ---**
I thought I told you...
**[15:47] ---**
...that common sense
is useless in this sea.
**[15:51] ---**
It's not that that compass is broken.
**[15:54] ---**
Hm? Then, could it be that
the magnetic fields are...
**[15:57] ---**
That's right. The islands in the Grand Line
contain lots of magnetic minerals.
**[16:03] ---**
Because of that, they are causing
abnormality throughout the Grand Line.
**[16:06] ---**
Furthermore, the current and
the winds don't have constancy.
**[16:09] ---**
If you're a navigator, you
should know how scary that is.
**[16:13] ---**
It's true that if we don't have a way
of knowing our direction, it's hopeless.
**[16:18] ---**
Yummy!
**[16:19] ---**
I-I didn't know! Oh, well...
**[16:21] ---**
Hey! That's bad! Are we gonna be okay?!
**[16:23] ---**
This isn't bad. It's yummy!
**[16:26] ---**
Hey, you guys! Please just be quiet!
**[16:29] ---**
The nose of the Elephant
Bluefin Tuna tastes good!
**[16:32] ---**
You need a log pose to
travel around the Grand Line.
**[16:37] ---**
Log pose? I've never heard of it.
**[16:40] ---**
It's a special compass
that can record magnetism.
**[16:44] ---**
Is it a strange-looking compass?
**[16:45] ---**
Yeah, its shape is unusual.
**[16:48] ---**
Is it something like this?
**[16:49] ---**
Yeah, that's it.
**[16:51] ---**
Without the log pose,
**[16:53] ---**
it's impossible to travel in the Grand Line.
**[16:57] ---**
I see... But hold on a sec.
**[17:00] ---**
--Luffy?
--Hm?
**[17:02] ---**
How come you have one?!
**[17:06] ---**
This is something that those
two weirdoes dropped on the ship.
**[17:10] ---**
They did?
**[17:12] ---**
Why did you hit me?
**[17:13] ---**
Just going with the flow.
**[17:14] ---**
Oh, the flow, huh?
**[17:16] ---**
So this is the log pose.
There's no dial face.
**[17:19] ---**
It's known that the magnetism of islands
in the Grand Line follow a certain rule.
**[17:27] ---**
That is, by recording the magnetism
of two islands pulling against each other,
**[17:32] ---**
you can find the route to the next island.
**[17:35] ---**
Since you can't even figure out
its location in this sea,
**[17:38] ---**
the magnetism record of the log pose
is the only thing you can depend on.
**[17:42] ---**
At first, you can pick one out of the seven
magnetisms produced by Reverse Mountain.
**[17:49] ---**
But no matter which island you start with,
**[17:51] ---**
those magnetisms will eventually
pull against each other
**[17:54] ---**
and link themselves to one route.
**[17:56] ---**
And the name of the island
at the end of the route is... Raftel.
**[18:01] ---**
It's the last point on the Grand Line.
**[18:04] ---**
The only one in history who confirmed
that island is the King of the Pirates.
**[18:08] ---**
It's a legendary island.
**[18:10] ---**
Raftel...
**[18:12] ---**
Then, the One Piece is there?!
**[18:14] ---**
Who knows? That's the
most prominent theory,
**[18:17] ---**
but no one has been able to reach there.
**[18:20] ---**
We'll know once we get there.
**[18:26] ---**
Now that I'm done eating,
shall we get ready?
**[18:29] ---**
Did you eat this all by yourself?!
**[18:31] ---**
Whoa! Even the bones're gone.
**[18:33] ---**
Log pose, huh? We have
to take good care of this.
**[18:36] ---**
This is the key to our journey.
**[18:38] ---**
You damn rubber man!
**[18:40] ---**
I wanted Nami-san...
I wanted Nami-san to...
**[18:43] ---**
...eat more!!
**[19:00] ---**
Ouch! What're you doing?
**[19:02] ---**
--That'll show you, you damn rubber man.
--Sanji-kun...
**[19:04] ---**
Yes, Nami-san!
**[19:07] ---**
Both of you, go cool your heads off!!
**[19:14] ---**
Hey, hold on a sec...
**[19:17] ---**
Wasn't that something really important?!
**[19:20] ---**
Our precious log pose was...
**[19:23] ---**
Don't panic. I'll give you mine.
**[19:25] ---**
I wanna thank you guys for Laboon, too.
**[19:35] ---**
Ahhh... I thought I'd die. Hm?
**[19:40] ---**
Here, take my hand, honey.
**[19:43] ---**
--Oh, thank you.
--Nice day, isn't it?
**[19:45] ---**
Hey!
**[19:47] ---**
We have a favor to ask.
**[19:52] ---**
Whisky Peak? That's a weird name.
**[19:54] ---**
What's that?
**[19:55] ---**
That's where we live... uhm, sir.
**[19:58] ---**
What happened to your own ship?
**[20:00] ---**
It's busted.
**[20:03] ---**
Isn't that asking too much, Mr. 9,
after trying to kill the whale?
**[20:08] ---**
So what are you guys?
**[20:10] ---**
I'm a king.
**[20:13] ---**
Liar.
**[20:15] ---**
We can't say!
**[20:17] ---**
But we want to go back to the town.
**[20:19] ---**
We don't want to be
secretive, either, but...
**[20:23] ---**
The motto of our company
is "mystery," after all...
**[20:25] ---**
We just can't tell you anything about us.
**[20:28] ---**
Placing confidence in your character,
we're begging you.
**[20:31] ---**
We will definitely return the favor.
**[20:34] ---**
Don't do it.
**[20:35] ---**
No matter what they say,
they're dishonest people.
**[20:39] ---**
By the way, we don't have a
log pose because we broke it.
**[20:43] ---**
Do you still wanna ride with us?
**[20:44] ---**
What?! You broke it?!
That's mine, you know!
**[20:47] ---**
How dare you act stuck up
just because we're being humble?!
**[20:49] ---**
You guys can't go anywhere, either!
**[20:52] ---**
Oh, but actually, we have
one that Crocus-san gave us.
**[20:57] ---**
We beg you people of such character...
**[20:59] ---**
Dammit! This bitch tricked us!
**[21:03] ---**
You can ride with us.
**[21:04] ---**
What?!
**[21:05] ---**
Did you say Whisky Peak? Let's go there.
**[21:08] ---**
What?
**[21:09] ---**
Hey, are you serious?
**[21:11] ---**
We're troubling ourselves
to take these shadowy people?
**[21:14] ---**
What's the problem?
Don't worry about small things.
**[21:17] ---**
But you can only choose the
route here, the starting point.
**[21:22] ---**
If we don't like it, then we
can go around one more time.
**[21:25] ---**
I see...
**[21:27] ---**
Now, shall we get going?
**[21:30] ---**
Now I've made a promise with the whale.
Let's get ready to set sail.
**[21:34] ---**
Who on earth are you?
**[21:36] ---**
Me? I'm...
**[21:38] ---**
...the man who'll be King of the Pirates.
**[21:45] ---**
What a stupid pirate...
**[21:49] ---**
It should be okay by now.
The log must've been stored.
**[21:54] ---**
Is it pointing at the
same direction as the map?
**[21:56] ---**
Yep. It's pointing at Whisky Peak.
**[22:00] ---**
See ya, flower pops!
Thanks for the log pose!
**[22:03] ---**
Yeah. Have a safe trip!
**[22:05] ---**
See ya, whale! I'm leaving now!
**[22:12] ---**
To Whisky Peak...
**[22:15] ---**
...full speed ahead!!
**[22:17] ---**
Yeah!!
**[22:37] ---**
I wonder if they're the pirates that
we've been waiting for all this time...
**[22:42] ---**
That man has such
an uncanny air about him...
**[22:49] ---**
Don't you think, Roger?
**[22:56] ---**
My overflowing feelings don't connect
**[23:01] ---**
as I firmly squeeze your hand back
**[23:05] ---**
I'll set off by myself,
**[23:10] ---**
so keep watching me intently
as I go into the distance
**[23:20] ---**
I was thinking about it
a bit since this morning
**[23:25] ---**
Why is it so hot?
**[23:30] ---**
Starting from some point, I haven't
been able to get away from that
**[23:41] ---**
I want to catch those
feelings that rushed off,
**[23:46] ---**
and I'm already about
to overtake myself, even
**[23:51] ---**
I want to embrace my
dreams that have jumped out
**[23:56] ---**
With you, I can run there
**[24:10] ---**
Whoa!! What a feast!
**[24:12] ---**
Receiving this kind of treatment
as soon as we arrive?
**[24:14] ---**
I'm glad I'm a pirate!
**[24:16] ---**
Hey, don't you guys think it's weird?
**[24:17] ---**
There're many cute girls, too!
**[24:19] ---**
The entire town is welcoming us...
What do you think, Nami?
**[24:22] ---**
When it comes to a drinking game,
I won't lose! Bring it on!
**[24:25] ---**
You too?!
**[24:26] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
**[24:28] ---**
"A Town That Welcomes Pirates?
Setting Foot on Whisky Peak"
**[24:31] ---**
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
