**[02:05] ---**
*dekiyashinai koto tte nani?

**[02:11] ---**
*subete shiritain da ima, yes, we can!*
**[02:11] ---**
*I want to know everything now, yes, we can!*

*Now, now, yes, we can!*
**[02:40] ---**
*Yes, we can!*
**[02:40] ---**
*Yes, we can!*
**[02:46] ---**
*The goal is the last island - Raftel*
**[02:50] ---**
*and the Great Treasure of One Piece!*
**[02:55] ---**
*However, no one has ever reached
the legendary island...*
**[02:59] ---**
*...except for Gold Roger,
King of the Pirates.*
**[03:03] ---**
*It is the Great Pirate Era.*
**[03:06] ---**
*While the monsters of the New World
fight each other fiercely,*
**[03:10] ---**
*the Straw Hat Pirates are
in the center of the storm!*
**[03:16] ---**
*Their captain is a rubber man
who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit.*
**[03:19] ---**
*Monkey D. Luffy!*
**[03:22] ---**
*Zoro!*
**[03:23] ---**
*Nami!*
**[03:24] ---**
*Usopp!*
**[03:26] ---**
*Sanji!*
**[03:27] ---**
*Chopper!*
**[03:28] ---**
*Robin!*
**[03:29] ---**
*Franky!*
**[03:31] ---**
*Brook!*
**[03:32] ---**
*This tight-knit group of nine pirates...*
**[03:35] ---**
**...are making their way through the vast sea**
**[03:38] ---**
*with their sights set on the One Piece!**
**[03:40] ---**
I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!
**[03:49] ---**
**Luffy and the others arrived at Zou,**
**[03:51] ---**
*an island where their new
adventure will take place.**
**[03:54] ---**
**This enormous island,
which is as high as the clouds, is**
**[03:57] ---**
**as its name suggests, a zou (elephant)
that has been alive for a millennium.**
**[04:04] ---**
It's awesome!
**[04:08] ---**
So this is the back of the elephant!
**[04:11] ---**
**To meet up with Sanji,
Nami, Chopper, and Brook,**
**[04:16] ---**
*Luffy and the others set foot on Zou**
**[04:18] ---**
**and encountered the Mink Tribe
who are known for disliking humans.**
**[04:27] ---**
*What the...?!*
**[04:28] ---**
Wait! Stop, Carrot!
**[04:35] ---**
Here comes something else!
**[04:37] ---**
Forget about them-teia!
**[04:39] ---**
More importantly, we have an
invader in the Whale Forest!
**[04:43] ---**
They're the Mink Tribe!
**[04:47] ---**
Oh?! I-Isn't that outfit...
**[04:52] ---**
...Nami's?!
**[04:54] ---**
Hey! Sanji! Nami!
**[04:57] ---**
Chopper! Brook! Momo!
**[05:02] ---**
Where are you?!
**[05:03] ---**
Oh, and the gas guy.
Well, forget about him.
**[05:06] ---**
Hey! Somebody, respond!
**[05:14] ---**
*"A Battle Begins!
Luffy vs. the Mink Tribe!"*
**[06:01] ---**
Oh? What's this place?
**[06:11] ---**
It's huge!
**[06:16] ---**
If I climb on it, I think I can
get a good view of this island!
**[06:23] ---**
Hey! Sanji! Nami!
**[06:27] ---**
Chopper! Brook! Momo!
**[06:30] ---**
Where are you?!
**[06:40] ---**
What is that weapon?
I felt a shock for a moment!
**[06:44] ---**
We have an invader in the Whale Forest?!
**[06:46] ---**
Yes, we're in trouble!
**[06:49] ---**
The Guardians will be mad!
**[06:52] ---**
An animal?! A human?!
**[06:54] ---**
H-Hey, you!
Where did you get that outfit?!
**[06:59] ---**
What did you do to Nami?!
**[07:01] ---**
Are they a cannibal tribe?
**[07:03] ---**
Don't say such a scary thing!
**[07:25] ---**
What are you? A monster?!
**[07:31] ---**
I'm sorry! Don't eat me!
**[07:34] ---**
Look how high she can jump!
**[07:36] ---**
Do all of them have physical
abilities like that?!
**[07:43] ---**
How is it?!
Do you see something, Carrot?!
**[07:53] ---**
I do! Maybe it's a little too late!
**[07:56] ---**
On the other side of Kurau City,
there's a disturbance in the Whale Forest!
**[08:00] ---**
I thought so! Let's go, Warney!
**[08:05] ---**
Get on, Carrot!
**[08:07] ---**
Okay!
**[08:08] ---**
We don't have time to
transport you-*teia* guys!
**[08:11] ---**
Do as I say!
**[08:13] ---**
Go through the Rightrump Forest to your right
**[08:17] ---**
and turn left at a deep dark swamp!
**[08:19] ---**
And you'll reach the Rightflank Forest!
**[08:20] ---**
You'll find the corpse of
your-*teia* friend there!
**[08:23] ---**
C-Corpse?!
**[08:30] ---**
Wait at the Rightflank Forest!
We'll be there later!
**[08:35] ---**
Y-You've got to be kidding!
Please tell me you're kidding!
**[08:42] ---**
Do you think they-*teia* are gonna be okay?
**[08:45] ---**
--Those were the Straw Hats.
--What?
**[08:48] ---**
They-*teia* are gonna be shocked.
**[08:51] ---**
It's a shame but there's nothing we can do.
What's done is done.
**[08:55] ---**
The one who just invaded the Whale Forest
is probably a pirate, Straw Hat Luffy.
**[09:02] ---**
He's their-*teia* captain but I'm sure
the Guardians will show no mercy!
**[09:13] ---**
They were killed!
**[09:18] ---**
She said there's a corpse -
which means they weren't cannibalized.
**[09:22] ---**
That's not the problem! Cut it out!
**[09:27] ---**
Calm down!
**[09:29] ---**
Old "Spiral Eyebrows" is with them.
He won't let anyone be killed.
**[09:33] ---**
Yeah. They're not gonna
be killed that easily!
**[09:37] ---**
This must be a trick to make
us upset and submissive!
**[09:40] ---**
You're right. I can't believe it.
**[09:46] ---**
How can I calm down?!
I mean, didn't you hear what she said?!
**[09:50] ---**
She said "corpse," okay?!
**[09:53] ---**
They must've killed Nami and the others
and ripped off their clothes!
**[09:57] ---**
Are they the only tribe
living on this island?
**[10:01] ---**
Are they really a cannibal tribe?
We need to check these things out.
**[10:05] ---**
Why are you so obsessed
with cannibal tribes?!
**[10:08] ---**
We have to find out
if they're our enemies or not.
**[10:12] ---**
You're right but I'm scared!
**[10:17] ---**
First, we have to collect information.
**[10:20] ---**
Tra-guy-*kun*.
**[10:21] ---**
Your friends must be here, right?
**[10:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:25] ---**
--Is there any way to make contact?
--No.
**[10:28] ---**
I didn't even expect to see them again.
**[10:32] ---**
But now I remember.
**[10:34] ---**
I forgot that I had a Vivre Card.
**[10:38] ---**
It belongs to our navigator, Bepo.
**[10:42] ---**
Oh yeah, you had a talking
polar bear in your crew!
**[10:45] ---**
Is he a Mink too?!
**[10:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:48] ---**
This is where he came from.
**[10:52] ---**
But he didn't remember much
about this island.
**[10:57] ---**
Because he left the island
when he was little.
**[11:00] ---**
Can we trust him?!
For instance, just for instance, you know,
**[11:06] ---**
he might become aware of his nature
as a member of the cannibal tribe!
**[11:10] ---**
You have a pretty wild imagination too!
**[11:14] ---**
I've known him for a decade.
We can trust him.
**[11:18] ---**
If you wanna get reliable information,
let's head straight.
**[11:23] ---**
Oh, I looked around from up there before!
If we go straight, there'll be a town!
**[11:28] ---**
We don't know who are there!
Are we gonna be okay?!
**[11:31] ---**
The cannibal tribe might be there.
**[11:36] ---**
It's better than going along
with the unknown animal.
**[11:39] ---**
Let's follow him.
**[11:46] ---**
IN THE WHALE FOREST
**[11:49] ---**
Gum-Gum...
**[11:51] ---**
Moo Golova!
**[11:54] ---**
...Bell!
**[12:12] ---**
Why isn't Electro having any effect?!
**[12:55] ---**
What's wrong with you-*gara*?!
**[12:57] ---**
How can you be unhurt after
getting that attack?!
**[13:01] ---**
That didn't work
because I'm made of rubber.
**[13:05] ---**
Rubber?
**[13:06] ---**
It's my turn!
**[13:34] ---**
Gum-Gum...
**[13:36] ---**
...Bell!
**[13:58] ---**
That's...
**[14:00] ---**
Yeah, that's Straw Hat!
**[14:03] ---**
That's it! Stop right there!
**[14:07] ---**
I know him!
**[14:09] ---**
Even if you know him, he's an invader!
**[14:11] ---**
I guess we gotta stop you by force!
**[14:14] ---**
Don't get in our way!
**[14:18] ---**
No! Jean Bart!
**[14:21] ---**
--Damn! This is too much to handle!
--He's too strong!
**[14:26] ---**
Keep napping.
**[14:36] ---**
I'm gonna knock you down!
**[14:44] ---**
Come on!
**[14:48] ---**
Oh no!
**[14:50] ---**
When Roddy gets mad like that,
**[14:54] ---**
no one can stop him!
**[15:18] ---**
Bring it on!
**[15:27] ---**
That's enough, Guardians!
**[15:30] ---**
A fluttering object!
**[15:36] ---**
A banana!
**[16:01] ---**
Yeah! I got a banana!
**[16:05] ---**
RODDY - A BULL MINK
THE WHALE FOREST GUARDIANS
**[16:10] ---**
BB (BLACKBACK) - A GORILLA MINK
THE WHALE FOREST GUARDIANS
**[16:11] ---**
Yum! Yum, yum, yum...
**[16:16] ---**
So this is how you handle them.
**[16:26] ---**
A dog?
**[16:27] ---**
WANDA - A DOG MINK
THE BATTLEBEAST TRIBE
**[16:28] ---**
You-*teia* are Straw Hat Luffy, aren't you?
**[16:31] ---**
I'm Wanda.
**[16:34] ---**
CARROT - A RABBIT MINK
THE BATTLEBEAST TRIBE
**[16:34] ---**
She's Carrot.
**[16:37] ---**
And a rabbit.
**[16:39] ---**
We won't do anything to you
so stop resisting.
**[16:43] ---**
There are a bunch of strange
creatures in this country.
**[16:45] ---**
It's like having a ton of Choppers.
**[16:48] ---**
Do you know me?
**[16:50] ---**
Of course.
**[16:52] ---**
What's with them?!
**[16:54] ---**
I didn't even do anything
but they attacked me!
**[16:57] ---**
That's because you-*teia* invaded the
forest where you mustn't enter.
**[17:01] ---**
Oh! Wh-What are you doing?!
**[17:03] ---**
The Guardians eject
invaders from this forest.
**[17:07] ---**
That's their job.
**[17:09] ---**
So I wasn't allowed to enter?
**[17:11] ---**
No, you weren't.
**[17:12] ---**
Guardians!
**[17:15] ---**
We'll take him out of here!
Please forgive him!
**[17:27] ---**
For Wanda's sake...
Let's retreat, Roddy!
**[17:34] ---**
BB!
**[17:36] ---**
Pedro!
**[17:39] ---**
Everyone, retreat!
**[17:42] ---**
What?!
**[17:52] ---**
Was I surrounded?
I didn't sense them at all.
**[17:58] ---**
Just be thankful this wasn't a moonlit night.
**[18:03] ---**
Straw Hat! It's been a while!
**[18:09] ---**
Hey, Straw Hat, don't you remember us?
**[18:14] ---**
We took care of you after the Paramount War!
**[18:17] ---**
I'm shocked!
**[18:19] ---**
Oh! You're the talking
bear from Tra-guy's crew!
**[18:24] ---**
Tra-guy?!
**[18:25] ---**
No, we work under Trafalgar Law!
**[18:25] ---**
BEPO - NAVIGATOR OF THE HEART PIRATES
THE GUARDIANS' HELPER
**[18:29] ---**
The Heart Pirates!
**[18:31] ---**
That's what I said.
**[18:32] ---**
No, you didn't!
**[18:34] ---**
Well, we've been reading newspapers!
**[18:37] ---**
There was a whole bunch of surprising news!
**[18:39] ---**
--We're allied, aren't we?
--Is our captain here too?
**[18:42] ---**
Yeah, Tra-guy's here!
**[18:44] ---**
You got it wrong again! Who is that?!
**[18:48] ---**
Tra-guy is Law.
**[18:50] ---**
Oh yeah? I didn't know that.
**[18:52] ---**
So our captain, he's here! Yeah!
**[18:56] ---**
Captain, I can't wait to see you!
**[19:00] ---**
KURAU CITY AT THE CENTER
OF THE ELEPHANT'S BACK
**[19:05] ---**
I guess there's no doubt
that it was attacked.
**[19:10] ---**
This city could have as many as
several hundred thousand residents
**[19:14] ---**
but not a single person is here.
**[19:17] ---**
It's dangerous!
This country's dangerous!
**[19:21] ---**
Let's get out!
As soon as we find Sanji and the others!
**[19:24] ---**
It's dangerous!
This place is really dangerous!
**[19:41] ---**
There are signs that people
were just here until recently.
**[19:44] ---**
It must've just happened.
**[20:06] ---**
This destruction happened
not so long ago, either.
**[20:18] ---**
We shouldn't be out in the open like this!
**[20:22] ---**
The enemies must be around here still!
**[20:24] ---**
They'll get us! They'll
get us! They'll get us!
**[20:34] ---**
Is this a device for torture?
**[20:41] ---**
We can't even tell
whether the enemies are humans or not.
**[20:45] ---**
Franky! Don't get too far...
**[20:50] ---**
What are those scratches?!
**[20:52] ---**
There are so many claw marks.
**[20:55] ---**
Yeah, what are those?!
**[20:58] ---**
Hey, come see this.
**[21:06] ---**
It's a giant footstep.
**[21:08] ---**
Do you think it's an elephant?
**[21:11] ---**
This city is dangerous!
We'd better get out...
**[21:16] ---**
What the hell is that?!
**[21:18] ---**
Did some monsters and beasts attack
the Minks' country?
**[21:23] ---**
But looking at those claw marks,
it might be internal discord.
**[21:28] ---**
One thing is for sure.
**[21:31] ---**
This country was suddenly ruined
only one or two weeks ago.
**[21:43] ---**
Th-Then Sanji and everyone else...
**[21:47] ---**
were involved in it?!
**[21:53] ---**
Ruined?
**[21:54] ---**
That's why no one's there.
**[21:57] ---**
This centuries-old country's name is
Mokomo Dukedom.
**[22:03] ---**
When I trace my memories back
to just a half-month ago,
**[22:06] ---**
I can see everyone's happy face.
**[22:21] ---**
This country was ruined by...
**[22:25] ---**
...Jack!
**[22:28] ---**
Jack...
**[22:33] ---**
Oh! What is it?!
**[22:37] ---**
What the...?!
**[22:43] ---**
What's going on?!
**[22:45] ---**
There'll be a Rain-Ruption!
**[22:47] ---**
Climb a tree!
**[22:50] ---**
A Rain-Ruption?!
**[22:53] ---**
Get on Warney!
I'll take you to the Rightflank!
**[22:56] ---**
Your friends are there!
**[22:58] ---**
Great! So Sanji and the others are there!
**[23:05] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[23:07] ---**
They're all there, aren't they?!
**[23:24] ---**
**With a heavy Rain-Ruption falling from above,**
**[23:27] ---**
**Luffy, Wanda, and the others head
desperately for the Rightflank Forest!**
**[23:31] ---**
**When a hidden Mink fortress finally
reveals itself in a thick fog,**
**[23:36] ---**
*Luffy finally gets to see
Nami and everybody again!**
**[23:40] ---**
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Garchu! The Straw Hats Reunite!"
**[23:44] ---**
I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!
**[23:48] ---**
**[23:50] ---**
