To the future I believe in...

The time is the Great Pirate Era.

Countless pirates fight \Ndesperately for the One Piece,

the great treasure left behind by \NGold Roger, King of the Pirates.

Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body turned \Nto rubber after he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit,

also takes to the sea to become \Nthe next King of the Pirates.

As Luffy and his friends \Novercome numerous adventures,

the World Government is less and \Nless able to ignore their existence.

This is exciting!

What kind of adventure \Nis waiting for us next?!

The crew, on its way to the New World,

will speed along the Grand Line again today!

The historic War of the Best \Nin Marineford has ended.

10 years ago, in the East Blue,

Luffy met Ace for the \Nfirst time when he was 7.

I won't say it!

Then you die.

Don't!

"I Won't Run! Ace's Desperate \NRescue Operation!"

Outta my way!

--It's him, Porchemy-san!\N--He stole the money from us! Damn you!

What?

A-Ace!

You made it easier for us \Nby coming here voluntarily!

We were having a hard time \Nmaking your friend talk.

Ace!

L-Let me go!

Sabo!

Porchemy-san!

Ace! Sabo!

It kind of hurts. Hey!

Do you know what happens \Nwhen you mess with adults?!

I'll fight you! Sabo, help him!

Ace!

He has a sword! Be careful!

Oh, he got the knife!

Porchemy-san, that kid...!

Let's go, Ace!

Go ahead!

You fool! Hurry up!

When I come to face someone, I won't run!

What'd you say?! You little shit!

Don't do it! He's not like \Nthe thugs in the city!

You got that right!

Alright! Enough playing \Naround! That's our money.

Give it back to us peacefully, brat!

You must been possessed by \Nsome evil spirit, right?

Give the money back so you won't regret it.

We have better plans for that money!

Wh...

What did you say?!

Wait here for a minute!

You're so reckless! \NWhy are you always like this?!

I won't run!

Stop talking crap!

If I'm beaten by kids, I may \Nas well quit being a pirate!

--We'll make sure you quit!\N--We'll make sure you quit!

I'm gonna kill all of you!

I heard the whole story, \NPorchemy. How pathetic.

Did you honestly get beaten by kids?

I'm sorry, Captain Bluejam... The money is...

Don't look at me! I don't \Neven want to see your face!

Now, who will get my money back?

Don't tell me we'll let \Nit go without a fight.

Of course not. We'll get it back right away.

You have a bad habit, Ace!

When faced with a real \Npirate it's best to run!

Why do you have such a death wish?

This doesn't feel right. \NI liked the one I had.

We made a stupid mistake. \NThe Bluejam clan won't forgive us.

They'll come after us!

Oh, that was scary! \NI thought I was gonna die!

You're so annoying! Shut up! \NStop crying already!

I don't like cowards or people who cry a lot!

Th-Thank you!

You...

You helped me!

--You...!\N--Whoa, he's just being thankful.

Why didn't you cough it \Nup in the first place?

They're kind of people who'd kill \Nwomen or kids without hesitation!

I thought if I said anything... \Nyou wouldn't be my friend.

It's better than dying, isn't it?

Why do you wanna become my friend that much?

Because...

Didn't I give you a hard time until now?

How could you follow me this far?

Because...

Because I have nobody else to trust!

I can't go back to Windmill Village \Nand I don't like the mountain bandits!

If I didn't follow you, I'd be all alone!

Being lonely is more \Npainful than getting hurt!

Where are your parents?

Grandpa is all I have.

Is it easy for you when I'm around?

Uh-huh.

--It's hard without me?\N--Uh-huh.

What if Gold Roger had a child?

I hope that there isn't such a child!

He must be some kind of devil \Nwho'd be better off dead!

Do you want me to live?

Of course I do!

I see.

But I don't like spoiled kids like you.

I'm not spoiled! I'm strong!

Strong?! You're not strong \Nat all! You cry like a girl!

Have you ever gotten hit by \Na spiky thing? I'm only 7!

When I become your age - 10, I'll \Nstop crying and become stronger!

I wouldn't cry even if I were \N7, stupid! I'm not like you!

I'm gonna become stronger than anyone!

I promised Shanks that I'd \Nbecome a great pirate!

--You? Become a pirate?\N--Yes!

--No way!\N--Yes way!

Okay, that's enough!

Hey, by the way, I have a little problem.

--What? A problem?\N--Uh-huh.

Bluejam and the others will try to kill the \Nthree of us after this for sure, right?

Well, I think so.

This forest that I've been living is close \Nto where they are - the Cove of Pirates!

What if they attack me when \NI fall asleep exhausted?

--You're gonna die.\N--Yeah, you're gonna die.

Right?

That's why I need your help.

Guys, huddle up.

Why are they wounded? They're all bandaged!

Whoa! Boss! Boss! We have a problem!

Hmm? It's still early. What's wrong...

Whoa! What's going on here?!

1, 2...

Huh?

1, 2...

Huh?

Ace, Luffy...

Huh?

Ace, Luffy... Huh?

Ace, Luffy... Huh? Ace, Luffy... Huh?

Ace... Luffy... Huh?

Ace, Luffy, huh? Ace, Luffy, \Nhuh? Ace, Luffy, huh?

Ace! Luffy! Who is that?!

Who is who?

It's still early - you're too loud!

How come there is one more kid?!

Who the hell are you?!

Are you talking about me?

I'm Sabo! Hey, you must be Dadan!

Sabo? I've heard your name before!

Oh yeah? That makes it easier! Thank \Nyou for taking care of me from today!

"Taking care"? Don't tell me \Nthat you're gonna stay here...

Don't answer me with a fart!

You must be kidding! I heard that \Nyou're a worthless brat, too!

Oh yeah? I heard that you're \Na worthless old bag, too!

That's unnecessary information!

I don't wanna look after one more brat!

But I heard that you're a good worthless \Nold bag because you can't refuse a request.

I heard that you're a truly \Nmanly worthless old bag!

"Truly manly"? I'm a woman! \NI'm not a gender bender!

Ace, Luffy, Sabo!

I'm giving you a place to stay! \NYou gotta get to work already!

Thank you, Dadan!

--See ya!\N--See ya!

Hey, Luffy! You stay here and do \Nsome laundry and clean the house!

No way!

Oh, Ace, Sabo, wait!

Honestly! What annoying brats!

Oh yeah!

I forget to tell them.

Hey, Dadan!

While we're gone, the Bluejam \Nclan might come by so be careful!

The Bluejam clan might come by? Why?

Because we beat some of his crew up! Bye!

What?!

Dadan sure is an understanding \Nworthless old bag!

She's still a worthless old bag!

Plus she's a mountain bandit \Nand her face is scary!

What are we gonna do now?

First...

Eat something!

Okay, let's eat!

Luffy, so you ate the Devil Fruit?

Uh-huh!

No wonder you can't swim.

Here, you can have this, too.

Thanks!

You're too kind, Sabo.

Well, what's wrong with that?

So, what fruit did you eat?

Gum-Gum!

Gum-Gum? Gum?!

That's right!

In exchange for the ability to swim, \Nyour body turned to rubber? So crappy!

It's not crappy! I can use \Na lot of unbeatable attacks!

That's good. Good for you.

You have such a fat mouth even \Nthough you can't catch a fish.

Your body really is rubber! Interesting!

Don't play with my body!

But rubber surely stretches \Nand shrinks and expands so...

...maybe it's useful when you're fighting!

Right?! Oh yeah, I came \Nup with another attack.

It's called "Gum-Gum Balloon"! I can \Ndeflect cannonballs and everything!

Wow! Can you do it for me now?

Okay, I'll do it just for \Nyou! Ace can't see it.

Don't look!

Here we go! Gum-Gum...

What?! What is it?! What the hell?!

Awesome! You're getting bigger and bigger!

...Balloon! See it?! It's cool, isn't it?!

Well, I don't think it's cool...

It's good for working off my meal!

What are you doing?!

Sabo, kick it back!

Ah, okay.

Stop it!

Is that the unbeatable attack \Nthat will deflect cannonballs?!

Stop it!

Then, why don't you deflect my kick?!

Stop it!

--Wait! You can't just eat and run!\N--Wait! You can't just eat and run!

--You bastard!\N--You bastard!

--Take this!\N--Take this!

Well, what can I say? Let it go.

I can't! I almost got eaten!

Calm down. You can have a lot \Nof crocodile meat for dinner.

Then I forgive you guys.

That easily?

I wanna eat the crocodile already. \NI can't wait until dinner.

Ace! I wanna check something quickly.

Can you come with me?

--Did you find it?\N--Look carefully!

I'm glad that we moved the "pirate savings".

Yeah.

Do you wanna check the Gray Terminal, too?

Yeah, okay. Why don't you go home now?

No!

He won't listen to anyone.

There are hooligans from the city \Nand Bluejam's people everywhere.

They're serious!

I bet that Bluejam got really frustrated.

Hey, guys! The kids that you're \Nlooking for are all here!

There they are!

Stop! You can't run from us!

I can't believe that they bought \Nover pops at the Terminal.

We'd better lay low for a \Nwhile until things calm down.

Who cares? We'll just fight if they find us.

That's true but we don't have \Nto look for trouble ourselves.

I agree with Sabo!

You just shut up!

Bluejam... The kids made quite an enemy!

I'm sure that they're gonna find \Nthis place and come by pretty soon!

There is no way that we can defeat them...

Maybe this is the end of the Dadan family!

I have to say goodbye to the \Nhumble-but-sweet mountain bandit's life?

It's better to quit the mountain bandit \Nbusiness than to get exterminated!

"We can't defeat them"? \N"Out of business"?

How pathetic you guys are!

Don't you take pride in \Nbeing a mountain bandit?!

It's easy!

If they come by,

we can just hand Ace and \Nthe other two over to them!

But, boss, how do we explain it to Garp?!

Plus, Bluejam is not the kind of guy who \Nwill be satisfied by just handing them over!

Th-Then...

Then?

Let's just pretend that \Nwe don't know anything!

Now, try it! We gotta practice!

You guys, are Ace and Sabo \Nhere? Just spit it out!

I-I don't know...

Terrible liars!

Boss! Boss! Ace and the other two are back!

Ace's close friend Sabo \Nstarted to live with them

after being forced to \Nleave the Gray Terminal.

Ace, Sabo, Luffy.

These three soon began spending their time

fighting with wild animals in \Nthe mountain and in the jungle

and with hooligans from the \Ncity and pirates at the cove.

In the end, the people at \Nthe center of the kingdom

came to know their wrongdoing!

The names of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo

gradually gain fame among \Nthe thugs in the town.

Then, one day, the three \Nof them meet a certain boy.

That meeting would change \Ntheir destinies in a big way!

On the next episode of One Piece!

"To The Sea Someday! \NThe Pledge of the Three Brats!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
