Beyond the heavy rain is a rainbow

I'll know the easy answer's a lie

tayasui kotae wa uso dato shiru darou

Vow not to back down to the shouting

dekai koe nanka ni makenai to chikatte

I need you alone to understand tomorrow

anata hitori ni wakatte hoshii ashita

You gave me the time of my life

yume no youna jikan kureta anata

What do I look like? An ANGEL or a DEVIL...

watashi wa dou mieteruno? sorega tenshi ka akuma ka

Beyond the dawn, beyond the dawn

yoake no mukou yoake no mukou

There's so much I want to tell you

hanashitai koto takusan aru nda

Filled with love, with love

ai kometa ai kometa

That can't be written down in a letter

tegami ni kakikirenai omoi da

A small hand in search of eternity

eien wo sagashita chiisana tenohira

"To the Sea Where My Father is! The Future Bonney Chooses"

THREE YEARS AGO, MT. COLVO GOA KINGDOM, EAST BLUE

Gum-Gum...

...Battle-Ax!

Did you see that?! Wasn't it awesome?!

Hm? Why are you guys freaking out?

With this power, I can knock anyone down!

MONKEY D. LUFFY (AGE 16)

Even Ace can't beat me!

Dragon...

You seem extremely familiar with this country.

You even ventured to a small village on its outskirts

and were watching a particular boy.

You'll kill me if you keep talking about this.

Why is that?

A child is their parent's weak spot.

I'm sorry.

I'll just let it go.

Gum-Gum Battle-Ax! This will be my killer attack!

I'll use it when I face a truly powerful enemy.

When I become a pirate, I'll have a crew.

Then one of my crew could get beaten and captured!

That's when I'll use it! I'll make them pay!

Whoever the enemy is, I'll attack with Gum-Gum Battle-Ax!

Right?!

What?!

Don't worry, I don't eat cowards!

Ring, ring, ring... Ring, ring, ring...

Who is it?!

What was that presence? It gave me a chill.

I guess a beast, like the lord of this mountain,

still lurks here!

Pirates have attacked a merchant ship and are on the run!

Eliminate the pirate ship!

I'm here to help.

Are you the ones who were raided by pirates?

They suddenly appeared and took all the cargo!

How is your ship?

Don't worry! The fire will be out in no time!

It hurts...

Stay with me! Hang in there!

I'll take him to a hospital on a nearby island.

Bartholomew Kuma!

What are you doing?! Eliminate the pirate ship already!

I'm going on ahead. You guys catch up.

Thank you!

Without you, he would have died!

B-Bartholomew Kuma?!

What?!

Surrender yourselves.

Y-Yes, sir!

Guys! Return all the treasure! Or we're dead men!

"Dear Bonney,

The world's beauty cannot be fully captured in drawings and photos in encyclopedias.

It is brimming with exquisite scenery!

I want to see your face light up when you see it."

SORBET KINGDOM

Nothing yet?

Nothing yet?

Nothing yet?

Nothing yet?

Nothing yet?

He's probably busy working and News Coo may have misplaced it.

But Dad said he'd write me a lot!

You must wait patiently for letters.

I'm sure one'll arrive soon, Bonney.

Oh...

The newspaper and a letter.

--Deliver to the church's mailbox. --Yes, ma'am!

Is it a letter?!

No, just the newspaper.

Another letter arrived?!

Yes... How many letters is that now?

It's about ten letters a month... So we've already received dozens.

How does he have so much to write about?

DEAR BONNEY

"Dear Bonney."

What a bunch of crap!

"Lastly, Bonney,

though I've said it countless times,

I love you."

It's your turn, Pert.

What's the matter, Bonney?

Gyogyo.

Let's fight!

Again, Bonney?

How about a game?

Fight! Fight! Fight!

You little...

Bonney! Turn back to your original form!

What?

It's time to take your medicine, Bonney-chan.

What?

Oh, thank you for taking care of her every day.

Would you like some tea?

Oh... No, thank you.

That's strange.

Was I seeing things?

Bonney looked like a big woman...

Here, Bonney-chan.

It's so bitter! I hate it!

Bear with it. It's good medicine.

It's just a bad-tasting candy.

Grandma Conney, why do Bonney's abilities have to be kept a secret?

Just to be safe.

A wise wolf hides its fangs.

NAVY'S SCIENCE GROUP, LABORATORY 8

That's unbelievable, Doctor! Is it complete already?!

Yeah. Now all I have to do is lift the lab and my brain into the air with Island Clouds.

Well, half of the stuff you see here is holograms.

I originally intended to do this with Punk Hazard.

Nice head-cut.

I feel so light, I could fly.

Kuma!

I heard you're going to lose your free will.

A human without free will or a clone with free will...

Who has it worse?

Stop it, Stussy.

You're human.

What does it mean to lose free will?

No matter how much you claim to follow orders now,

could you, for example, kill a child if you were told to?

In this research, the loss of free will means...

...the loss of memories from living as a human and all human emotions.

All right.

The examination is over. You're all set.

How do you feel? Are you starting to feel anxious?

No.

I'm more worried about...

You're not being honest.

You'll lose your memories and emotions. It's impossible to come to terms with it.

Especially, if you have someone important to you.

But I'll ensure you retain a minimum level of free will until it's fully complete.

You have roughly a year until then.

A letter again?

As long as I have time, I want to keep telling Bonney...

...that I love her.

Over the next year, I'm going to write down a lifetime's worth of feelings.

That's so sweet!

She'll turn nine soon!

I'm sure she has grown a lot.

It hasn't been that long!

"I don't know when this letter will reach you,

but Bonney, happy ninth birthday.

I'm at Vegapunk's lab now and..."

Bonney!

Happy Birthday!

Grandma Conney's special giant pizza!

Yay! Thanks!

So good!

There's nothing.

No letter has come.

I'm sure one'll arrive soon, Bonney.

I turned nine.

Dad...

You said you'd write me.

BALTIGO, REVOLUTIONARY ARMY HEADQUARTERS

Kuma saved us again?

Yes! He helped us out of a dangerous situation!

Kuma-san!

But he again left without saying a word!

If that's what he wants, don't chase him.

He must have a reason for it.

A reason he can't tell us.

I'm cured!

Look! All the stones are gone!

I'm happy for you, Bonney.

You did so well.

I wanna go outside!

No.

Bonney-chan.

We were told to take care of you until your tenth birthday.

That's a lie!

You liar!

Vegapunk said I'd be cured in a year!

A year has already passed!

No!

I'm cured now! Leave me alone!

That's too bad...

That woman!

How could she do this to her?

Bonney.

Alpha and her associates are Government intelligence agents.

What?!

She's not a nurse?!

Apparently,

she was out in town getting drunk and talking the other day.

She said you were completely cured now.

She said that?!

I don't know what her hidden motive is,

but it's strange to keep you, a healthy person, cooped up at home for another six months.

It's also strange that Kuma hasn't sent a single letter.

Don't you think so?

Yeah...

I've already talked to Gyogyo and the others.

Make for the port, Bonney.

Go out to sea and meet your father.

Do I get to see him?!

Don't worry.

You'll be able to see him.

Oh?

I'm returning to the palace.

Fine. Take care.

Gyogyo's group, they're not ordinary fishermen.

They're thuggish fishermen and even local pirates and Sea Monsters...

...fall silent at the mention of their names!

They'll surely help you see your father!

So this is the outside world!

Dirt...

Wind...

Grass...

The sky...

The sun!

Bonney is actually walking outside...

It's a miracle! There really is a God!

Let's set sail!

Bonney! This way!

Gyogyo! Totts! Potato!

Look! I'm outside!

Where is Bonney?!

Queen Dowager Conney!

But you just went out...

What's going on?!

I'm Bonney!

You liar!

Look at that! I made the ship look like pizza!

I love it!

How dare she fool me.

This is unforgivable!

All right! Let's go!

Hold it right there!

It's Alpha!

Quick! Accelerate!

If the subject of surveillance escapes, I'm permitted to use any means short of murder...

...to subdue her!

That'll make it so much easier!

She came flying!

She uses the Six Powers, the Government's combat techniques!

If I get caught here,

I'll be...

For those aiding her however,

no holds are barred!

No...

I don't want that!

Dad...

What should I do?

Dad, what does Nika look like?

No one knows, but...

Nika!

Distorted Future!

You can transform! I knew it was you!

Bonney?!

They say his body had properties like rubber,

and he fought however he fancied.

You shitty brat!

Nika-Like Future!

What?!

The escape of Bonney, the hostage, was immediately reported to the World Government.

And the fishing boat in search of her father...

...would eventually evolve into an infamous new-era pirate ship, on par with Luffy's.

I can't protect anyone again

mata daremo mamorenai no

It's my fault that the voice is fading away

kiekakaru koe wa boku no sei

I don't even have time to look down

We go on, sharing loneliness

Don't be afraid

I'm not the same person I was that day

dare nimo jama dekinai yo

No one can stand in my way

Now, move aside

sekai wo seishite mirai wo shinjite

Conquer the world, believe in the future

ikutsu mono yoru kazoete

Count up the nights

nani wo mite nani wo shitte

What did you see? What did you learn?

taisetsu na koto ni kiduita no

To realize what was important

Kuma chose to become a weapon and lose his free will.

His concealed memories held the story of a life that pressed onward to defy his fate.

Having once been a slave as well as lost the ones he loved,

what was the one thing he ultimately fought to protect?

On the next episode of One Piece! "Kuma's Life"

I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!
