Original subtitles

Vivi!

Why, you...!

Aim!

No! Stop!

Fighting won't help anyone!

I'm fine! It only grazed my arm!

As you wish, we will not land here!

But can you send us a doctor?

Our crewmate is gravely ill!

Please help us! I beg you!

Vivi!

You're not fit to be captain, Luffy.

Not everything can be fixed by acting on impulse!

If you start a fight here, what will happen to Nami-san?

Yeah. I'm sorry! I was wrong!

Please call a doctor!

Please save our crew member.

I will show you to the village.

Follow me.

See? They understood!

Yeah! You're amazing!

Adventure in a Nameless Country

I must warn you, the only doctor we have in this country is a witch.

A witch?

You gotta be kidding me. Nothing here makes sense.

What country is this, anyway?

This is a nameless country.

A nameless country?

How does that happen?

A bear!

Everyone! Play dead!

A hiking bear. They pose no danger.

Please bow; it's proper hiking etiquette.

Yes! Good as new!

See?!

Now I can finally get back to some real training!

I was getting sick of my watered-down regimen,

and guarding the ship is just boring.

Training in frigid water is an excellent exercise in mindlessness.

Bighorn Town of Snow

This is our village, Bighorn.

What's with the weird animals walking around?

That's a snow country for you!

Nami-san! We made it to a village with people! A village!

Okay. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Those not on guard duty can return to their work.

But, will you be okay by yourself, Dalton-san?

They're pirates!

I do not believe they mean us any harm.

My hunch comes from experience. Trust me.

Dalton-san...

If that's what Dalton-san says, then...

And they don't seem dangerous...

Yeah.

All right, Dalton-san! We'll leave the rest to you!

Be ever careful, Dalton-san.

Just call us again if anything happens!

They are not actual soldiers?

Civilians.

Come join me at my house.

Hey! Look, Luffy! The hiking bear!

Again?!

Oh, Dalton-san!

Gotta bow.

I heard there were pirates!

Are you okay?

Yes, all is in order. There is nothing to fret over.

Oh, Dalton-kun!

I look forward to the election in two days!

Everyone says they're voting for you!

Y-You cannot be serious! I...

I am no longer worthy of such honor!

Please lay her on that bed. I will warm the place up.

As for introductions,

Commander Dalton Civilian Garrison Drum Island

I am Dalton,

this island's civilian garrison commander.

Please forgive our hostile reception.

May I ask you a question?

I cannot shake the feeling that I have seen you before.

I-It must be your imagination!

Anyway, please tell us about this witch!

I just checked Nami-san's fever, and it has reached 42 degrees!

I-It is... 42 degrees?!

For three days now, her fever has only risen.

If it rises any more, she'll die!

Yes.

But we don't know the cause of her illness, or how to treat it.

We just need a doctor!

Any doctor! Where is this witch of yours?!

The witch, you ask?

See those mountains through the window?

Yeah, those insanely tall–

Hyper Snowman!

Snowzilla, the snow beast!

Yeah!

You're really asking for it!

Those mountains are known as the Drum Rockies.

Do you see the castle on the highest peak in the middle?

Castle?!

That castle no longer has a king.

Man, this warms you up.

Yeah, I see it.

Why tell us about the castle?

People call her a witch.

The only doctor in the land, Dr. Kureha, lives there.

What?!

Of all the places, why does it have to be so far away?!

Okay, so call her right now!

It's urgent!

I would, but there is no way to contact her.

What?!

And she calls herself a doctor?!

What the hell is she like?!

As a doctor, her skills are unparalleled.

But she is an eccentric old hag.

She's nearly 140 years old now.

What?!

Sh-She's 140?! And she's still kicking?!

And, come to think of it, she likes pickled plums.

What happens when people here get sick or injured?

She descends the mountain according to her whims.

She finds patients, treats them, and then as payment,

she takes whatever she wants from their houses before leaving.

"To attain enlightenment, be one with absolute truth."

Sounds like an unfriendly old hag!

Hey! She almost sounds like a pirate!

But how does such an old woman come down that mountain?

It is an odd rumor,

but several people claim to have seen her

riding a sleigh through the sky on moonlit nights.

And that is why she is called a witch.

Some have also seen her with a strange, uncatalogued creature.

I knew it! See? It's a yeti! It's a snowy mountain, after all!

I knew there'd be one!

A witch and a yeti?!

Oh, please never let us run into them!

While she is the only doctor,

I would prefer to steer clear of that hag.

It is best to wait until she comes down the mountain.

You can't be serious...

Dammit! It'll be too late by then!

Even as we speak, Nami-san is–

Hey, Nami! Nami! Can you hear me?

– Hey! What are you doing?! – Hey! What are you doing?!

Oh! She's awake!

Hey there. The only doctor here lives on top of a mountain.

We're gonna climb it!

Huh?

Think for once!

Do you know what you're doing with Nami?!

It's okay! I'll carry her on my back!

That will only worsen her condition!

Why's that? We gotta hurry, don't we?

True, but you want the impossible!

Look at how tall and steep it is!

I can make it.

Maybe you can make it, but it'd be too hard on Nami-san!

But hey! If we fall, the snow will cushion our landing!

A fall from that mountain would kill even a healthy person!

C'mon, now! She's 6 degrees above normal temperature!

Does that even register with you?!

I need... to get better quickly.

I need to hurry... for Vivi.

I'm counting on you, Captain!

That's more like it! Just leave it to me!

I can't believe it!

Like captain, like navigator!

Do you realize how sick you are, Nami-san?!

You sure about this? That climb will take hours!

Old guy! Meat! Gimme meat!

Meat?

All right! I'm going too!

Listen, Luffy!

Don't slip, trip, or fall even once, or that's it for Nami!

Wha...?! Even once?!

Wait! Hold still!

I need to tie this just right!

All set.

Okay, I will wait here.

I would hate to get in the way.

Same here!

Got it!

Okay, Nami! Hold on tight!

Yeah...

If your hearts are set on this...

I will not stop you.

But please begin your climb from the back end.

There are lapins on this side.

Fierce, carnivorous rabbits.

A pack of them spells certain death.

Rabbits? But we're in a hurry.

We'll be fine. Right?

Yeah! I'll kick them!

"Kick them"?! Ridiculous!

Do not throw away your lives!

It's okay!

All right, then! Let's go, Sanji! Before Nami dies!

Don't jinx us like that, you moron!

Will they really be all right?

Yeah... no need to worry about those two.

The question is, will Nami-san keep up her strength?

I wish them safe travels.

Something the matter?

Come inside. The cold is biting.

Oh, that's okay. I want to stay outside.

Me, too.

I see.

Then I will join you.

We did have some, long ago...

Huh?

Doctors.

But circumstances are such that they could not remain.

This country was...

utterly destroyed mere months ago...

at the hands of pirates!

What?!

The entire country?!

That explains why everyone was so nervous about us.

Yes.

The word "pirate" is itself enough to cause everyone unease.

For that, I am sorry.

That pirate group was only five strong.

The captain called himself "Blackbeard,"

and he savagely devastated our country in the blink of an eye.

Only five pirates?!

That's unimaginable!

Blackbeard?!

But some say it was a blessing in disguise for this country.

How is the destruction of one's homeland a blessing?!

Yeah! Who'd actually say something so stupid?!

Thank you.

Until the destruction,

this land was subject to a king, one whom the citizens could not abide.

This land was once called the Kingdom of Drum!

The king's name was Wapol!

He was the worst king possible!

Yes! That man! I remember him!

Wapol?!

It's getting colder. The wind's picking up.

And you aren't wearing shoes?! Just seeing that is painful!

Well, it's my police!

"Police"?! You mean "policy"!

Yeah, that's the one!

Anyway, did you know? People living in snowy countries never sleep!

Huh? Why's that?

'Cause they'll die if they sleep!

Don't fall for that! There's nobody like that!

It's true though! Someone told me a long time ago!

Usopp, I bet.

Nope! I heard it at a pub in my village!

Then explain why Dalton has a bed in his house!

That's a good point.

Then, maybe it's for when he dies!

That's definitely wrong.

Okay, did you know this?

Women in snowy lands all have silky-smooth skin!

How come?

Isn't it obvious?

Whenever you're cold, you rub your skin for warmth.

That's how it gets so smooth.

So women in snowy places have such silky-smooth, white skin!

How come it's white?

Because their skin absorbs the snow and takes on its characteristics!

Huh?! I never knew you were so dumb!

Like you're anyone to talk!

And...

quit being so damn annoying!

What was with that guy?

Hang in there, Nami-san! We're gonna get you to a doctor!

The snow's really deep around here.

Hey, Luffy!

Don't jostle Nami-san! You'll make her worse!

Wh-What are they?

They're big white polar bears!

Yeah, that's it!

Wait!

You know Wapol?!

We don't just know him!

He's the pirate who attacked our ship!

I ran him off, though.

Y'know, I think he said something about the Kingdom of Drum.

Yes.

There's no question about it! I remember clearly now!

When I was a child, my father took me to a meeting of many rulers,

which is where I met him!

A meeting of rulers?!

Just who are you?

Oh, uh...! No, that was...

In any case, we met Wapol!

Yesterday, on our way here!

Yesterday?! Are you certain?!

But... what's happening, then?!

He called himself a pirate, not a king!

The pirate story sounds like a cover.

Wapol is merely wandering the sea, trying to return to this island.

So, the people on that ship were exiled when they failed to drive off Blackbeard?

Failed? If only!

Huh?

When it happened, Wapol's army

did nothing to resist them!

As a matter of fact,

he saw the pirates' strength and immediately abandoned the country!

Wapol was the very first to flee out to sea!

The entire nation despaired.

Is this what the king–

Is that what the king of an entire country does?!

It's appalling that a king would abandon his people!

Vivi...

You are exactly right.

If anything, Wapol's tyranny is finally over.

Those remaining on the island are working to create a new nation.

And so the thing we fear most is Wapol's return.

The return of his reign.

The people are uneasy...

He cannot be allowed to return!

And that is if we are to create a new, peaceful nation on this island!

It jumped!

What gives?! How can it move like that?!

What is it, a gorilla?!

No! A polar bear!

It's a bunny!

So it's not a gorilla, then?

These must be the lapins that Dalton mentioned!

But... this many?!

Oh!

Oh! Wapol, my liege!

What is it, Chess?

Did you find Straw Hat's ship?!

Actually, Your Majesty, we've finally returned home!

What?!

How many months did we spend wandering the sea?

It's our homeland! Drum Island!

Truly?!

Listen, Luffy!

We have to reach that doctor's castle, no matter what.

Don't you dare fight them.

Why not?

Idiot! Whether you attack or get struck,

Nami-san will feel the whole impact too!

She'll die.

What?!

O-Okay! I won't fight!

B-But, what do I do?!

Just dodge! Dodge, dodge, dodge and run!

But don't retreat!

That's really hard!

Flanchet Shoot!

Dammit!

This snow makes it difficult to deliver a decent kick!

They're all attacking at once!

Head for the woods! I'll cover you!

Okay!

Go left! To the mountain!

Got it!

We'll shake 'em off somehow!

It'd take us till night to finish them off!

These snow mountain beasts don't let up!

We're at a disadvantage.

I said don't!

Idiot! I told you not to fight them!

Just leave them to me!

Sorry.

Take this seriously!

Sanji! There's a way up!

Good! Go on ahead!

Up and over!

You don't need to egg 'em on!

They're coming!

Just run! All the way to the top!

It's getting worse...

Nami-san! Please be safe!

Dalton-san!

Dalton-san!

Gotta bow.

Oh, hello there.

I heard you're looking for Dr. Kureha?

Yes, you heard correctly, but the sick person–

I heard that right now she's in the neighboring town of Cocoa Weed.

– What the heck?! – What the heck?!

Then they passed each other?!

Cocoa Weed The Next Town Over

Hey, shopkeeper. We've had enough already!

Get your kid to shut it! He's driving me nuts!

Ah, I'm sorry.

Hey, Tamachibi, what's wrong?

Does it hurt somewhere?

Crying won't get to the bottom of this!

You're disturbing our customers!

Tamachibi! Say something!

Keep crying and I'll lock you outside!

It's the witch!

Shh! She can hear you!

Scary...

She's with that creepy monster again.

Hey! That's enough!

Well, well. Seems we have a bad father.

If a child keeps crying, it's a signal that something is wrong with his body.

Stand back, Chopper.

Pardon me.

D-Doc–

Are ya happy, kiddos?

Tony Tony Chopper Dr. Kureha's Beloved Reindeer

Dr. Kureha Master Physician (Age 139)

Tony Tony Chopper Dr. Kureha's Beloved Reindeer

Dr. Kureha!

The secret to my youth?

No! We didn't ask that!

I still can't believe she's a 140-year-old ha–

I'm only 139 years young!

Shall I make it better?

Wha...?! Make what better?

He isn't sick or anything.

So you're... a doctor?

Well then, shall we go, Chopper?

P-Please wait!

Forgive me. I made an error.

Since I heard that the doctor came down the mountain yesterday,

I assumed some time would pass before her next visit.

Don't worry about it. It's not your fault.

The real problem is Luffy and Sanji's superhuman strength.

Even if we chased after them, we'd be hard pressed to catch up.

If the witch is in this Cocoa Weed town,

we gotta ask her to go right back to the castle!

Yes, we do. It's our only option.

Forgive us.

Huh?

Forgive this country for its lack of doctors.

N-No... You needn't apologize for that, Dalton-san.

She's right.

Let's hurry!

My hands... hurt...

Your hands, you say? I see.

Then, how about now?

My leg hurts!

See? You forgot that your hands hurt, right?

What the hell, lady?!

Are ya happy?

You are happy? Good!

Now, pipe down.

Hey!

Put a sock in it. I barely touched his leg.

But the sound he made...

His limbs are tender to the touch.

There's no fever,

but the leg's swollen from a purulent inflammation.

It's gotten pretty bad.

The bone's been infected.

Chopper, get the antibiotics.

Doctor... will my son be...?

Early diagnosis and treatment is key in nixing this disease.

Don't worry. He'll be cured...

even though he almost died.

What?! "Almost died"?!

Hold still; I'm making a small incision.

Hey, what about anesthesia?!

Here's the shot.

Don't be so rough!

Well, then... My medicine is highly effective,

so that's it for treatment.

Make sure he gets plenty of rest and keep his legs bandaged snugly.

Oh...

If the limbs get stiff, put ice on them. Got it?

As for the fee, well...

I'm running low on trash bags and toilet paper.

Also, I'll take all the plum wine and food that you have.

Additionally...

I'm claiming fifty percent of this shop's assets.

What?!

Chopper... take them to our sled.

Wha...?! You can't be serious! You'd take half my assets?!

Hey, shopkeeper! Don't let her rip you off like that!

That's what she's doing!

"Almost died"?! He was most likely crying because he took a spill!

How dare you abuse your position!

He's right!

You're the worst!

Don't take advantage of people's weaknesses, witch!

Cool it, Chopper.

It's just a bunch of bellyaching babies.

Old lady...

I feel a lot better.

Thank you!

Oh? I got a good tip.

I'll reduce the fee to forty-nine percent.

I'll pay you. Thank you.

Ah! Hey, kiddo.

Always remember... how happy you were in this moment, okay?

Okay!

It's ice cold!

My body's going numb like it's encased in ice!

Gotta train harder.

If I can attain mindlessness, fire will be cool, and ice will be warm.

Hey, Karoo! Jump on in!

It's an opportunity to strengthen your body!

I didn't expect to see this many fish.

Time for another lap.

They coming?

No, they aren't.

Alright! Looks like we lost them.

No... not yet.

Huh?

They keep coming!

What're they doing?

Are they mad because they're hungry?

No...

Hold on a sec...

Don't tell me... they're...!

We're here! We've finally returned to my country:

the Kingdom of Drum!

Humph! Civilian guards are no match for a true military.

They shot at us!

What in the world were they thinking?!

Oh, my dear Drum Island!

My, how your nature towers majestically!

Chess, is the castle intact?

Indeed.

It remains unchanged, just as we left it, Your Majesty.

Then, let's return there! Onward! To the castle!

I'm done being a pirate! I'm going back to being a king!

Robson White Walky (Wooly Hippo)

Now, go forth, Robson!

Huh?

Hey, Robson!

Why're you just standing around?!

Now, get moving already!

King Wapol! There's a problem!

What is it?

At the riverbank!

It's that pirate ship from before!

What?!

Those bastards!

Why are those Straw Hats in my country?!

They said they didn't know where it was, yet here they are!

Go flying!

Don't they know the trouble they put me through after that?!

Hey! Go kill them already!

Well, actually, no one's aboard!

What?!

They're just gone!

Do you want to be executed?!

My deepest apologies, King Wapol.

Please forgive this bumbling subordinate.

Chess. Kuromarimo.

Chess Staff Officer of Evil Former Kingdom of Drum

The two of us personally inspected

the footprints leading from the ship.

It looks like they headed to Bighorn.

Kuromarimo Great Minister of Evil Former Kingdom of Drum

Clearly, you're a couple of geniuses.

Then... let's go to Bighorn

and fire off a celebratory salute to the Kingdom of Drum's restoration!

Cocoa Weed

Wha...?! Say what?!

She already left town?!

And just moments ago?

For crying out loud!

She made me better earlier.

Are you looking for the doctor, Dalton-san?

It's an emergency.

Do you know her next destination?

If you're looking for Dr. Kureha,

someone said she headed to Gyasta.

Gyasta?

Where's that?

From the center, Bighorn, it is in the opposite direction of this town.

So then we passed her again?!

Ice-skating is popular there.

How does that fact help us?

And we didn't ask, either!

Calm down, Usopp-san!

Okay.

Then let's go.

We've come this far; we haven't a moment to lose!

Yeah, you're right.

Dalton-san...!

There you are.

You are... supposed to stand watch today, correct?

Is something wrong?! What is it?

How did you sustain such injuries?!

Every guard except me...

was killed!

What?!

Suddenly...

a submarine sailboat appeared...

and everyone... they killed them all!

Who do you mean by "they"? Calm down and explain.

Dalton-san! Help!

We're not strong enough!

If we don't do something...

What's going on?

Them?!

It's Wapol! Wapol came back!

What did he just say?!

Wapol?!

Is that true?!

Hey!

Dalton-san!

I will settle this!

Justice... I seek no such thing.

After all,

you and I equally shoulder the blame!

Just you wait... Wapol!
