[NARRATOR] Wealth, fame, power...

Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,

attained this and everything else the world had to offer.

And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

[GOLD ROGER] You want my treasure?

You can have it!

I left everything I gathered together in one place.

Now you just have to find it!

[NARRATOR] These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of

dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine!

This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!

Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams

Together we will find everything that we're looking for

One Piece!

Compass left behind It'll only slow us down

Your heart will be your guide

Raise the sails and take the helm

That legendary place that the end of the map reveals

Is only legendary until someone proves it real

Through it all, through all the troubled times,

through the heartache, and through the pain

Know that I will be there to stand by you

Just like I know you'll stand by me!

So come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams

Together we will find everything that we're looking for

There's always room for you if you want to be my friend

We are, we are on the cruise

We are!

[seagulls squawking]

--[wings flapping] --[squawking continues]

--[thud] --[SAILOR gasps]

[LUFFY] "I'm Luffy!

The Man Who's Gonna Be King of the Pirates!"

[orchestra playing]

Of course not. My ship is much too sturdy and

too heavy to be affected by such a measly whirlpool.

[MAN A] Excuse me?

Would the beautiful lady care to dance?

[GIRL]

[SAILOR B grunts]

--Ugh. I missed again. --[SAILOR A laughs]

Strike three, pal.

[SAILOR C] I'd be embarrassed.

You suck!

[SAILOR B grunts] It's heavier than I thought it'd be!

Maybe it's filled with beer!

[SAILOR A grunts] Well, I think it's our beer now.

And I'm not sharing my half. [laughs]

[whimpers]

Ship off the starboard bow!

[SAILORS gasp]

[SAILOR C] And they're flying a pirate flag!

We've got a pirate ship in pursuit!

--Enemy raid! Enemy raid! --[SAILORS scream]

[cannon fire]

[PEOPLE screaming]

[whimpers]

Captain, we've got pirates!

[CAPTAIN] What?!

--[CAPTAIN screams] --[PEOPLE screaming]

People! Please stay calm!

Panicking will only get you hurt!

Just follow my crew's instructions

in an orderly fashion!

[explosion]

[ALVIDA] Fire!

[ALVIDA] Coby!

Yes, ma'am?

[ALVIDA] Who is the most beautiful of all on these seas?

Well, uh... That would be, the captain of our ship,

--Lady Alvida, of course. --[ALVIDA laughs]

[ALVIDA laughing]

Good answer.

That means a lot to me.

It's been a while...

We're finally gonna see a little action.

That's right!

So make it count! Hit 'em with all

--you got, boys! --[PIRATES yell]

[PEOPLE scream]

[GIRL panting]

[gasps]

[GIRL screams]

[PIRATES grunt]

Here we go!

Time to show them the terror of Iron Club Alvida,

lady pirate of the seas!

[PIRATES yelling]

[whimpering]

Coby! What are you doing?!

I'm not... real good at this stuff.

[scoffs] You're telling me.

Maybe it's 'cause you're too busy

backtalking me all the time.

Oh, no! Not the club! Anything but the club!

Please!

Then get your ass in gear!

[screams]

[COBY sobs]

--[ALVIDA] Move it, you brat! --[gasps]

[ALVIDA yells]

[screams]

[ALVIDA groans]

[PIRATES laughing]

We're not gonna take your lives, we swear...

But we will take everything else you got on you.

[ALVIDA] And anyone who fights back'll be eating their dinner

off the bottom of the ocean.

[PIRATES laughing]

[COBY] Uh, hello...?

[COBY] I really hope there's no one in here.

[sighs] That's a relief...

Huh?

[COBY] Wow, that's one big barrel.

I wonder what's inside of it.

[GIRL grunts, pants]

--[PIRATE L growls] --[GIRL gasps]

[PIRATE L] Huh? Who are you?

--I ain't seen you before! --[GIRL laughs nervously]

--[GIRL grunts] --[PIRATE L screams]

[whimpers]

[giggles]

[COBY groaning]

It's our favorite coward.

You trying to hide in here and

duck out on all the action again?

No way!

I was just trying to haul this big barrel of beer

over to you guys!

[laughs]

Why don't you let us lighten your load?

I was just startin' to get thirsy.

You can't!

Lady Alvida will kill us if she ever found out!

She won't if you keep your trap shut.

Right?

Boy?

Yeah... Right.

[laughs nervously] Okay.

This sucker's heavy.

Hah, perfect.

Hold on, boys...

I'll open her the old fashioned way.

[PIRATE B growls]

[growling continues]

[PRATE B yells]

[LUFFY yells]

[ALL scream]

[LUFFY] I...

slept...

so...

great...!

Hm?

Who's that?

Who the hell are you guys?

[PIRATES] Who the hell are you?!

Your friend'll catch colds sleeping like that.

[PIRATES] You're the one who knocked him out!

[LUFFY] Hm?

Hold up!

Are you messing with us when you know good and well

that we're vicious pirates?! Huh?!

--[gasping] --[LUFFY] I'm starving.

You got any food?

I'm talking to you!

[growls] You damn kid!

--[PIRATES yell] --[COBY screams]

[LUFFY] Hm?

[PIRATES growl] Die!

[COBY whimpers]

--[metal clinks] --[PIRATES gasp]

[COBY whimpers, gasps]

[PIRATES gasping]

What is wrong with you two?

[PIRATE C] Wh-Who are you?!

[LUFFY] Me? Oh...

My name's Monkey D. Luffy.

Hi! [laughs]

[PIRATES scream]

So... What just happened?

You got me.

[gasps] Quick! You've got to run!

If those guys come back here with their buddies,

then they'll kill you on the spot!

I don't care about that. I'm hungry.

How can you just blow this off like that?!

There are hundreds of them up on deck

and they're waiting for the opportunity to kill anything!

--[LUFFY grunting] --[COBY groans]

[COBY mumbles] You're going the wrong way!

No!

--Wait! --[LUFFY growls]

[screams]

[laughs]

It's a goldmine!

Food! Food! Food! Food! Food!

--[LUFFY laughing] --[COBY] Who's knows...

Maybe we'll be safe in here as long as no one else gets hungry.

[LUFFY] ...box looks promising!

Apples! Excellent! [laughs]

Heh, tasty!

[COBY] Uh... Hey! My name's Coby!

You're Luffy, is that right?

That was pretty neat when you

jumped out of that barrel back there.

These are awesome!

[LUFFY] So are we on a pirate ship or what?

[COBY] No...

It's a passenger ship that's being raided by pirates,

pirates under the command of Lady Alvida.

[LUFFY] Aw, who cares anyway?

What I wanna know is if there are any boats on board.

[COBY] I think there are a few.

[LUFFY] Great, 'cause mine got sucked into some big whirlpool.

[COBY] That one outside? No way!

No one could have survived that.

[laughs] Yeah! I gotta say, it was a big surprise!

[laughs nervously]

[LUFFY] So are you one of the pirates

or one of the passangers?

[gasps]

[COBY] It was on a fateful day, long ago...

That day...

I stepped out onto a small fishing boat

on the outskirts of town to go catch my dinner.

[gasps]

[COBY whimpers]

[COBY] Turned out that particular boat

was actually headed for a pirate ship.

That was two years ago.

[COBY] In exchange for them letting me live,

I'm forced to live the life of a cabin boy.

You're pretty stupid, you know that?

[COBY] Gee, thanks for your honesty.

If you hate it, then leave.

Are you kidding?! I can't do that!

No way! Nuh-huh! Not a chance!

Just the thought of Alvida finding me

scares me so bad, I wanna throw up.

[laughing] You're a moron and a coward!

I hate people like you!

--[LUFFY laughs] --[COBY sobs]

[ALVIDA] All right, quit your lollygagging around, boys!

We gotta load up everything before the Marines get here.

I catch anyone dawdling,

and they'll get a real mouthful of my iron club!

[PIRATE I] I love hitting a rich ship.

[PIRATE J] Let's get back to it!

She'll break our asses

if she catches us slacking off.

[PIRATE H] One hit from that club of hers

is enough to have you beggin' for death! [laughs]

[PIRATES screaming]

[BOTH] Captain!

[ALVIDA growls]

[BOTH] This is bad!

[ALVIDA] Yeah...? Then out with it!

[PIRATE M] It came from inside the barrel!

[PIRATE C] Such a horrible monster!

[ALVIDA growls] Huh?

[PIRATES whimper]

[ALVIDA grunts] Who are you...

--[PIRATES scream] --[PIRATE B groans]

[ALVIDA] ...calling a monster?!

[PIRATE B screams]

[PIRATES scream]

Uh... we weren't... talkin'... 'bout... you, my lady.

Some guy was hiding in a barrel!

He could be a bounty hunter!

What?!

Yeah, you're right.

If I had the courage,

I could drift alone in a barrel and be rid of these pirates.

I actually have my own dreams.

Some day... I'd like to live out all of them.

So... What about you, Luffy?

What was it that first got you to set sail on these seas?

[LUFFY] Hm?

Well, I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

[gasps]

--The King?! --Yep.

--Are you serious? --Yeah.

But... But that would mean that you're a pirate, too!

Right.

Your crew?

Don't have one yet, but I'm lookin' for 'em.

[COBY gasps]

[yelps] King of the Pirates is a title given to one who

obtains everything this world has to offer.

You're talking about seeking

the great treasure of wealth, fame, and power.

The treasure that you seek is the One Piece!

Yeah!

Yeah?! That's it?!

Pirates from all over the world

are looking for that treasure, ya know?!

Yeah? So?

No way! It's impossible, impossible, impossible!

There's no way anyone like you

could ever reach the pinnacle during this great pirate age!

There's just too many out there that are meaner and better!

[COBY yelps]

[COBY] Ow... Why did you hit me?

'Cause I felt like it.

[COBY groans]

Oh, well... I'm used to that stuff...

My shipmates smack me around a lot...

...all the time, in fact.

It's not about if I can.

[COBY] Huh?

I'm doing this 'cause I want to.

I decided long ago that I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.

If I have to die fighting for that... then I die.

[COBY gasps]

All right...

Now that my belly's full,

I'm gonna go get me a brand new boat.

They might even just give me one if I ask nice enough.

Maybe they're generous people.

I guess I never thought of it like that.

[COBY] If I put my mind to it,

if I'm prepared to die for it, could I do something like that?

Like what?

[COBY] Do you think...

Do you think I could ever join the Marines?

[LUFFY] Marines?

Yes! Catching bad guys is

the only thing I've ever wanted to do!

It's been my dream since I was a child!

Do you think I can do it?

How should I know that?

[COBY] Then I'm gonna do it!

I'm not gonna get stuck here

as a cabin boy for the rest of my life!

I'll break out,

then I'll turn right around, and catch Alvida myself!

[screams]

[ALVIDA] Who is that you plan on catching, Coby?

And you actually think this twig is gonna help you?

Well?

--[COBY whimpering] --[ALVIDA] Answer me!

[ALVIDA growls]

[COBY whimpers]

[ALVIDA chuckles]

My guess is that you're not Zoro, the pirate hunter.

[COBY gasps]

Zoro?

--[ALVIDA] Coby! --[screams]

[ALVIDA] Who is most beautiful of all on these seas?

[COBY] Well... I... Um...

Give me a sec... I know this...

Hey, Coby, who's the fat lady?

[PIRATES whimpering]

Oh, no...

Not good...

[ALVIDA growls]

You...

...runt!

[COBY whimpers]

--Let's go. --[gasps]

[ALVIDA growls]

[screams]

[PIRATES gasp]

[LUFFY grunts]

[laughs]

[PIRATE A growls]

--[PIRATE A yells] --[PIRATE A groans]

[PIRATE N yells]

[COBY screams]

[PIRATES yell]

Missed me!

[LUFFY grunts]

[COBY gasping]

[LUFFY laughs]

[screams]

[PIRATE S yells]

[LUFFY] It's not fair to attack from behind.

[PIRATE S screams]

[PIRATES scream, groan]

[PIRATES growling]

--[PIRATES yelling] --[LUFFY screams] And it's even

--[PIRATES yelling] --more not fair to gang

--[PIRATES yelling] --up on a guy!

[LUFFY yelling]

[PIRATES gasping]

[LUFFY yelling]

[PIRATES scream]

Gotcha!

[PIRATE screaming]

[LUFFY] Gum...

...Gum...

[PIRATES screaming]

[ALVIDA growls]

[LUFFY] ...Rocket!

[PIRATES scream]

[gasps]

[gasps]

--[PIRATES groaning] --[footseps]

[COBY] Luffy...

What are you?

Oh...

I'm a rubber man.

So you're... made of rubber...?

I... [gasps]

[COBY screams]

So... You've eaten of the Devil Fruits.

Yeah. I ate the Gum-Gum one.

Ah-ha...

I heard rumors they existed,

but I'd never seen any evidence of them before today.

You're more skilled than the average deck swabber.

Are you a bounty hunter?

[LUFFY] I'm a pirate!

[ALVIDA] Pirate? Ha!

All by yourself on these waters?

[LUFFY] Today, it's just me.

But I'll find my crew tomorrow or next week or something.

I need... I dunno, like ten guys. Yeah, ten.

[ALVIDA] Hah!

Tell me...

If we're both pirates,

and we're not under the same flag,

then that would make us enemies.

Am I right?

Uh, Luffy?

--Let's go. --But why?

You saw how powerful her club is.

And of all the villainous cheats in all these waters,

she's easily the most--

I decided long ago

that I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.

If I have to die fighting for that...

...then I die.

[COBY gasps]

Go on...

Tell me...

[COBY whimpers]

You're the most...

...ugliest thing on the sea!

[ALVIDA growls]

[whimpering]

[laughs]

What'd you say?!

--[laughing] --[COBY] I'm leaving and

I'm gonna join the Marines!

Then I'm gonna spend the rest of my life

beating up dirty pirates like you!

Do you have any clue what you're saying to me right now?!

[COBY] Of course I do!

And I'm gonna do what I want, and no one's gonna stop me!

And when I join the Marines,

I'm gonna join them!

And I'm gonna catch your lousy ass first!

You're dead, kid!

[ALVIDA yells]

[COBY] No regrets! No regrets!

I did it! I said what I wanted to and fought for my dream!

Well said! [laughs]

[yells]

[COBY gasps]

[LUFFY] Heh. That won't work.

What?!

[LUFFY] I'm rubber!

[LUFFY growls, grunts]

[LUFFY] Gum...

...Gum...

[grunts]

...Pistol!

[ALVIDA screams]

[PIRATE B] The sky's so pretty and blue out here.

[PIRATE B] Huh?

[LUFFY] Hey, you!

[PIRATES] Yes?

Go find a boat and give it to Coby.

He's leaving your ship to join the Marines;

you're not gonna don't stop him.

[PIRATES] Uh... Yeah, sure!

[COBY gasps] Thanks, Luffy.

[BOTH scream]

[BOTH gasp]

[COBY] Look! It's the Marines!

[LUFFY] Ooh!

Perfect timing!

Head over there and tell 'em you wanna join.

--[COBY] Huh? --But I'm a pirate,

so I'm outta here!

No, wait! You can't be serious!

I approach them like this,

they'll just capture me like another pirate!

[GIRL screams]

[GIRL groans]

[GIRL gasps]

[COBY] We actually managed to get away!

[sighs]

What fun! [laughs]

So, Luffy.

[LUFFY] Huh?

If you're searching for the elusive One Piece,

then you have to be headed for the Grand Line, right?

You know, the people I've talked to

call that place the pirate graveyard.

Right. And that's why I need an extra-strong crew.

You guys mentioned some pirate hunter.

So what's he like, Coby?

Oh, you mean Zoro?

Last I heard was that

he's being held prisoner at some Marine base.

Oh, well...

A weakling, huh?

No, you're so wrong!

He's as violent as a demon, and three times as horrifying!

Why are you asking about him anyway?

I figure if he's good enough, I'd ask him to join my crew!

[COBY gasps]

[COBY] Chasing him down is just plain reckless!

[LUFFY] You never know!

He might jump at the chance to join me!

[COBY] He's a bad enough guy that the Marines caught him!

No way! Not a chance!

Forget it! No no--

--[thud] --Ow!

Why'd you hit me?

[LUFFY] 'Cause I felt like it.

As a kid, I never stopped

Searching for a great treasure

I had a map in my mind

That I knew would lead me

I had to find my way to that place

Before someone could beat me

The promised land was in my grasp

And I wouldn't let go

My only dream...

I won't stop chasing it until it comes true

But if the world ever changes

I'll call out your name

We could return to the time

When everything's the same

As long as I'm with you

My memories won't fade

Waiting for that one true dream...

[LUFFY] Tell you what.

I untie your ropes, you join up with me.

I refuse to team up with a pirate!

[LUFFY] Come on!

Everybody already thinks of you as an evil bounty hunter.

[ZORO] Screw that!

I've never done anything I regret and I never will!

So I'm not gonna be a pirate!

[LUFFY] I already decided that you're joining me.

[ZORO] Would you stop making decisions for me?!

[LUFFY] On the next One Piece,

"Enter the Great Swordsman! Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
