[00:12] ---
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!
[00:34] ---
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
[01:06] ---
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!
[01:50] ---
"Yuba" "Nanohana" "Katorea"
[01:52] ---
Three years have passed since
a single drop of rain fell
[01:57] ---
in the kingdom of oases.
[01:59] ---
Seeing hope beyond turmoil,
the people took up weapons.
[02:04] ---
The burning land is now
enveloped by a sad bellowing
[02:07] ---
and a mighty swell.
[02:11] ---
In the Alabasta port town of Nanohana,
[02:14] ---
Luffy reunited with his
older brother, Ace.
[02:17] ---
Ace demonstrates the power
of the Flame-Flame Fruit.
[02:21] ---
With Ace by their side,
[02:23] ---
the party follows the Sandora
River upstream toward Yuba.
[02:33] ---
"Erumalu, the City of Green,
and the Kung Fu Dugongs!"
[02:47] ---
--Halt!
--What business do you have here?!
[02:49] ---
Please! Let us see the king!
[02:52] ---
How long is this civil war
going to keep up?!
[02:55] ---
With this civil war and drought,
we have nothing left to eat!
[02:58] ---
Please help my child!
There's no milk left!
[03:01] ---
Stop! Quit pushing!
[03:03] ---
We can't let you through!
[03:05] ---
--Let us speak with the king!
--You want us to just die, then?!
[03:25] ---
--Hey! Say somethin', will ya?!
--Are you just gonna abandon us?!
[03:28] ---
And you call yourself a king?!
[03:30] ---
Why, you! Don't you dare
insult His Royal Highness!
[03:33] ---
Cease that at once, guards!
[03:40] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:42] ---
My lack of strength has put you
through such unbearable suffering.
[03:48] ---
Those who wish to speak,
please come inside
[03:50] ---
and tell me of your qualms.
[03:52] ---
All I can do now is share your
suffering as if it were my own as well.
[03:59] ---
I ask that you endure a little more.
I will return calm to this kingdom.
[04:06] ---
Even at the expense of my life!
[04:10] ---
Father! Someone set this up!
[04:13] ---
It's clear that someone is trying
to throw this kingdom into ruin!
[04:27] ---
I hope you're all right...
[04:31] ---
Where are you now,
and what are you doing, Vivi?
[04:37] ---
Tea's ready. Come on up to the kitchen.
[04:41] ---
Thank you, Sanji-san!
[04:48] ---
Heya! I'm Captain Rice Ball Usopp!
[04:53] ---
Oh! And who are you?!
[04:55] ---
I'm a riceman!
[04:58] ---
Quit playing with our food!
[05:01] ---
If you got free time,
go wash dishes or something!
[05:03] ---
Geez! I need to finish our packed
meals before we cross the river!
[05:07] ---
Need a hand?
[05:08] ---
No, no. You are a guest on board.
Just sit back and relax.
[05:14] ---
All right.
[05:17] ---
Don't wash the dishes
in that mop bucket!
[05:22] ---
What a nice breeze!
[05:32] ---
Nami-san. I'd like to land
the ship here for a moment...
[05:37] ---
Eh? What for?
[05:39] ---
I have an important task for Karoo.
[05:41] ---
Karoo?
[05:49] ---
Karoo. I want you to go to
Alubarna Palace on your own
[05:53] ---
and deliver this letter to my father.
[05:55] ---
I've written down everything
Igaram and I learned
[05:59] ---
about Crocodile and
Baroque Works' schemes.
[06:03] ---
And that I've returned to Alabasta
alive with supportive friends.
[06:13] ---
Can you do it? You'll have to
cross the desert on your own.
[06:19] ---
Listen. You have to drink your
water with care in the desert.
[06:24] ---
Karoo! Good luck!
[06:26] ---
Now let my father know
this kingdom can be saved!
[06:37] ---
Drink your water with care!
[06:42] ---
Karoo... Thank you...
[06:45] ---
I knew Crocodile, one of the Seven
Warlords, was in this country...
[06:50] ---
But a pirate trying to steal a kingdom?
That sounds like a bad joke.
[06:55] ---
A pirate dropping anchor in
one spot and settling down?
[06:58] ---
Don't tell me he's trying
to usurp the throne.
[07:02] ---
Alright! Let's set sail!
[07:03] ---
Hold on! I'm not on board yet!
[07:06] ---
There could be another side
to this takeover thing.
[07:10] ---
Another side?
[07:11] ---
Some sort of deeper goal...
[07:20] ---
Alabasta, the kingdom of sand...
[07:23] ---
Even if you build cities
atop the sandy earth
[07:25] ---
and exist there for
thousands of years,
[07:27] ---
the desert will always be
filled with the stench of death.
[07:31] ---
From its very inception, this land
has embraced the shadow of death.
[07:38] ---
I've just received word that the
Billions' ships stationed in Nanohana
[07:43] ---
have all been wiped out by someone...
[07:47] ---
I'm having this verified as we speak.
[07:55] ---
There are more replacements for
the Billions than we even need.
[07:59] ---
A single drop of water spilled in the
desert is no obstacle for my plan.
[08:05] ---
But, if anyone who would
dare defy me has appeared...
[08:10] ---
crush them.
[08:13] ---
Understood.
[08:16] ---
I've already sent the Lizard
Runners to contact the others.
[08:24] ---
Excellent.
[08:29] ---
We're finally here!
[08:31] ---
We're finally going into the desert!
I bet it'll be hot...
[08:35] ---
--It gets over 50 C in the daytime!
--Eh?! It does?!
[08:39] ---
What happened, Nami-san?!
Where did your dancer outfit go?!
[08:42] ---
Aah! Not you too, Vivi-chan!
Why are you dressed like that?!
[08:46] ---
In the desert, any exposed skin
will wind up terribly sunburned!
[08:52] ---
This is terrible... My dancer girls...
[08:55] ---
Put this on, Luffy-san.
[08:56] ---
Okay! Thank you!
[08:57] ---
--Let's get ready to disembark.
--Yeah.
[09:08] ---
Okay! Let's land!
[09:14] ---
What's that?
[09:22] ---
--Turtles?
--Aren't those seals?
[09:25] ---
Kung Fu Dugongs!
[09:27] ---
"If you wanna come on shore,
you'll have to beat me first!"
[09:30] ---
"Or else go back to
the other shore, cowards!"
[09:33] ---
Is what he says.
[09:36] ---
I can't sit quietly by when
someone calls me a coward!
[09:39] ---
--Let's do it!
--Wait! Usopp-san!
[09:43] ---
Kung Fu Dugongs are strong!
[09:47] ---
--One is winning over there!
--Winning is bad, too!
[09:55] ---
Huh?
[09:57] ---
It's a Kung Fu Dugong rule
[09:59] ---
that if someone loses,
they become the winner's pupil!
[10:02] ---
That's very martial arts-ish.
[10:06] ---
The number of pupils just went up!
[10:08] ---
Alright, everyone! After me!
[10:10] ---
Stance!
[10:12] ---
No! Like this!
[10:14] ---
Yeah! Now go like this!
[10:17] ---
That's it! Like this!
[10:20] ---
Like this! Like this!
[10:22] ---
Like this!
[10:38] ---
Alright! Let's set out for Yuba!
[10:42] ---
Hold on, now!
[10:45] ---
Are you bringing them with us?!
[10:47] ---
You can't, Luffy!
[10:49] ---
The Dugongs can't cross the desert...
[10:55] ---
So cute...
[10:57] ---
I don't know why, but I feel like
we're doing something very sad...
[11:01] ---
Me, too. What should we do?
[11:03] ---
I know!
[11:05] ---
Let's see here...
[11:07] ---
What're you doing?
[11:08] ---
Here!
[11:10] ---
You can have this! So stay here, okay?
[11:15] ---
--Help!
--Chopper!
[11:23] ---
See ya!
[11:27] ---
Hey now, Luffy! Do you understand
the current situation?!
[11:30] ---
They said they were coming with me,
so why couldn't we let them?
[11:33] ---
We couldn't go to any city with
that big of a group! You're so dumb!
[11:37] ---
Honestly!
[11:38] ---
We would've been in big trouble
had Chopper not persuaded them!
[11:41] ---
Yeah! They kept saying,
"We'll accompany you!"
[11:44] ---
They really would've come if
we hadn't given them food!
[11:47] ---
Sheesh! Thanks to you, our food
supply's gotten a lot smaller!
[11:52] ---
--He knows how to cause trouble.
--That's for sure!
[12:06] ---
--What's this?
--Is this the town of Yuba?
[12:09] ---
No...
[12:11] ---
This is Erumalu. It used to be
known as the City of Green...
[12:15] ---
City of Green?
[12:18] ---
The sight of this town
explains everything.
[12:20] ---
What the Baroque Works organization
has done to this country...
[12:24] ---
What the people of Alabasta
are going through...
[12:34] ---
Wow! There's nothing here at all!
[12:38] ---
Yes. It's a ghost town now,
[12:42] ---
but up until just recently, it was
a thriving city full of greenery!
[12:48] ---
This place was?
[12:51] ---
Rain was always scarce, but even so,
the city was able to manage
[12:57] ---
by saving every last drop
of rainwater it could.
[13:00] ---
But, for three years now,
[13:02] ---
not a single drop of rain has
fallen in any part of this country.
[13:07] ---
--For three years?!
--That long?!
[13:09] ---
But even without rain, what
about the river we just crossed?
[13:13] ---
Yeah! Couldn't they just pipe
water in from that big river?
[13:17] ---
The answer to that is up ahead.
[13:24] ---
Never in the thousands of
years of Alabasta's history
[13:27] ---
has the rain stopped completely.
[13:30] ---
But, there was one place where
the rain fell more than usual...
[13:36] ---
Alubarna, the capital.
The city with the king's palace...
[14:01] ---
The people called it
the King's Miracle.
[14:04] ---
Until what happened
that day, at least...
[14:07] ---
Lower the cargo!
[14:18] ---
It's falling over!
[14:19] ---
Look out!
[14:22] ---
Hey! Are you alright?!
[14:25] ---
Oh, no! This is bad!
[14:27] ---
We were supposed to deliver
this to King Cobra in Alubarna!
[14:31] ---
What is this green powder?
[14:34] ---
What is it?
[14:35] ---
H-How should we know?!
We're only following your king's orders!
[14:39] ---
--Right?
--We're just couriers!
[14:42] ---
Run!
[14:46] ---
Wait... Could this be?!
[14:49] ---
Dance Powder?!
[14:52] ---
You've heard of it?
[14:53] ---
Yes. It's also known as
"Rain-Summoning Powder."
[14:57] ---
Rain-summoning?
[14:59] ---
I'd only heard stories about it,
[15:01] ---
but a researcher in a country
where it doesn't rain created it.
[15:05] ---
By creating a misty smoke from it
and letting it rise into the sky,
[15:10] ---
you can artificially cause it to rain.
[15:13] ---
That's what Dance Powder is.
[15:16] ---
Oh! I get it!
[15:18] ---
You mean that mystery powder!
[15:20] ---
I ate some a while back!
It tastes really bad!
[15:24] ---
It isn't food.
[15:26] ---
It's for making rain.
[15:29] ---
What?! You think I'm lying,
don't you?! Hey, you!
[15:33] ---
Hold on! Wouldn't something like
that be perfect for this country?
[15:37] ---
As the name suggests, the country
that developed Dance Powder
[15:41] ---
was almost happy enough
to dance at first.
[15:44] ---
But there was a big catch:
[15:47] ---
the neighboring country had a drought.
[15:51] ---
Understand?
[15:52] ---
Dance Powder quickly and
artificially matures clouds
[15:57] ---
that would normally grow into
rain clouds further downwind
[16:02] ---
and causes them to rain.
[16:04] ---
So...
[16:05] ---
Oh, I get it!
[16:06] ---
It steals rain that would've normally
gone to a neighboring country!
[16:11] ---
Eventually, war broke out
between the two countries
[16:13] ---
and many lives were lost as a result.
[16:17] ---
Ever since, the World Government
has put a worldwide ban
[16:19] ---
on the production and
possession of Dance Powder.
[16:22] ---
Powder that can bring both
happiness and dread when used...
[16:26] ---
When all that Dance Powder was
brought into the port town,
[16:30] ---
Alabasta was in the middle of
a strange weather phenomenon
[16:33] ---
where rain fell nowhere but in
the town where the king lived.
[16:37] ---
We haven't had a single drop of rain
[16:39] ---
because the king's been
using Dance Powder!
[16:42] ---
Alubarna's rain wasn't a miracle at all!
[16:45] ---
It's all because of the king
that we're parched and starving!
[16:51] ---
Hold on, Vivi! That means
your dad is the bad guy here!
[16:54] ---
You idiot! He was framed!
[16:56] ---
Vivi-chan's father would
never do any such thing!
[16:59] ---
Never... Never...
[17:04] ---
Of course, my father had
nothing to do with it,
[17:09] ---
but at around the same time,
[17:11] ---
a massive amount of Dance Powder
was found inside the palace...
[17:15] ---
They even had people
working inside the palace?
[17:20] ---
What's this road, Vivi-chan?
[17:23] ---
This was a canal that used to bring
water in from the Sandora River.
[17:29] ---
Someone destroyed this canal, too...
[17:32] ---
With its canal gone, the City of Green
could no longer secure water.
[17:38] ---
As if praying, the people continued
to wait, but rain never came.
[17:46] ---
Ever since the Dance Powder incident,
distrust in the king grows daily.
[17:51] ---
And it's all how Crocodile planned, huh?
[17:54] ---
And then the fighting finally began.
[17:58] ---
To escape the fighting, the
exhausted people abandoned the city
[18:03] ---
and left for other oases
in search of water.
[18:09] ---
And then...
[18:12] ---
the City of Green withered away.
[18:28] ---
--Huh? Is that someone's voice?!
--Is it the rebel army?!
[18:31] ---
Don't tell me Baroque Works
has been following us!
[18:42] ---
--No. It's just wind.
--It has to be someone's voice!
[18:47] ---
It's coming from all directions!
What do we do, Big Brother?!
[18:51] ---
There's no danger.
[18:53] ---
It's just wind blowing across the
town and echoing off old buildings.
[19:01] ---
It's as if...
[19:03] ---
It's as if the city of
Erumalu is crying...
[19:13] ---
Here it comes!
[19:41] ---
Whoa, what was with that wind?
[19:48] ---
Someone's collapsed!
[19:49] ---
There are still people in this city?!
[20:02] ---
What did my father...
[20:04] ---
What did the citizens
of this country ever do?
[20:08] ---
These people have worked
so hard to live,
[20:10] ---
being natives of a desert land who
are forced to fight with nature.
[20:14] ---
Yet he's destroyed their lives!
[20:17] ---
What gives him the right to do that?!
[20:21] ---
What?!
[20:23] ---
All the while,
as one of the Seven Warlords,
[20:27] ---
he pretends to be a hero of the people!
[20:29] ---
No one realizes he's
deceiving the entire country!
[20:35] ---
Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile!
[20:42] ---
I...
[20:44] ---
can't let him get away with this!
[20:55] ---
Geez, you're all such kids.
[21:10] ---
Vivi!
[21:11] ---
Let's get moving!
[21:13] ---
I'm itching to do this now!
[21:17] ---
Let's go to Yuba!
[21:20] ---
That's where the rebel army is, right?
[21:24] ---
Yes. I'm going to persuade their
leader to stop the rebellion.
[21:28] ---
Persuade?
[21:29] ---
All of Alabasta's calamities
are Crocodile's doing!
[21:33] ---
I'm going to tell him the truth
[21:34] ---
and have him stop the
pointless shedding of blood!
[21:36] ---
Got it.
[22:00] ---
Like the adventurers
I dreamed of when I was a child
[22:06] ---
I continue on to the ends of emotion
[22:11] ---
I scoop up my hands,
[22:17] ---
and the sand and time
that spills from them
[22:23] ---
show me that this is
what I was born to do
[22:30] ---
Let's continue swimming
at a near-tumbling speed
[22:42] ---
Until we wash up someday
on a white sandy beach
[22:53] ---
no one knows about
[23:10] ---
I can't go on...
I can't take hot weather...
[23:12] ---
Then take off that animal suit.
[23:14] ---
You jerk! Are you making
fun of reindeer?!
[23:16] ---
Hey. What in the world is Luffy doing?
[23:18] ---
--He's riding a camel!
--Wait! Something's chasing him!
[23:22] ---
Ugh! How is he able to
summon trouble like this?!
[23:24] ---
On the next episode of One Piece!
[23:26] ---
"Adventure in the Country of Sand! The
Monsters that Live in the Scorching Land"
[23:30] ---
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
[23:32] ---
