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.
You want my treasure?
You can have it.
I left everything I gathered together in one place.
Now, you just have to find it.
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!
Maniac!
No!
Why? Why won't anyone believe me?!
They are coming and they're gonna level this town.
What am I supposed to do then?
They'll think I'm lying if I try to warn them.
It's my home and I love everyone in it!
So, you wanna little help or what?
All right, fine, I'm scared!
Why shouldn't I be?! They're Captain Kuro's men!
They mean business!
We're not laughing at you.
You really think we'd risk our lives out of pity?
"Clash with the Black Cat Pirates!
The Great Battle on the Slope!"
Okay.
At daybreak, the pirates will be landing at this shore
to begin their attack.
But the only way that they'll be able to get to the village
is to go up this slope.
The rest of the shoreline is sheer cliffs,
so they have to come through here.
If we can fight them
while they're funneled into that narrow pass,
their numbers won't mean anything
and the village will be protected.
All right, sounds pretty easy.
Talking about it is, but victory depends on our strength.
What is it that you guys can do?
I cut.
I stretch.
I steal.
I hide.
Well, this time you'd better fight!
Just making a funny. C'mon, calm down!
Ah, Klahadore. Welcome back.
How is she?
She's resting just now. She was quite exhausted.
I leave town for a few hours to tend to some errands,
and everything falls to pieces.
That Usopp certainly knows how to cause trouble, doesn't he?
Yes.
And on top of everything else he's done today,
he claimed you were a pirate.
Ha! I can't think of a more outrageous lie!
Indeed.
What's this here?
Well, that's a present of course.
From Miss Kaya to you, Klahadore.
It's been three years since you came to this mansion,
and this gift is to say thank you for your hard work.
It's a commemoration of sorts.
How nice.
The glasses you're wearing
are always slipping and you have to push them back up.
So, the lady of the house custom ordered a new pair for you.
Isn't she just the most thoughtful young woman
you've ever met?
How appropriate.
Tomorrow will be a day worth commemorating.
Eh?
It's a crescent moon tonight.
Huh?
It's on nights like these that I truly feel alive.
My heart races, and my blood boils in my veins.
Ah!
Klahadore, what're you doing?!
Why would you do such a thing to Miss Kaya's present?
Oh, I'll be receiving a gift all right.
But it won't be glasses.
It'll be her entire estate.
What're you saying?!
I suppose there's no reason to carry on the act any longer.
In a few hours,
the village will be mourning the unforeseen tragedy.
Three long years I've quietly waited for this.
Miss! You have to get out of here! Run!
Captain Jango!
Captain Jango, it's almost daybreak, it's time get moving!
Good morning, Captain.
Good morning, sir.
You idiots.
Only the sun can wake me up and live to tell about it.
Do I make myself clear?
He's in a really bad mood.
Mornings are the worst.
Just look,
the moon is still up, so the sun couldn't have woken me.
Now, which one of you did it?
Our apologies, sir! We're very sorry, sir!
Well, in that case.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Wait, what's goin' on here?
He was mad just a second ago.
So what? He's in a better mood now
and that's all that matters so keep your big trap shut!
It's confusing!
Oh yeah, well, your face is confusing!
Hm?
Attention, men!
Let's set sail!
Yep, I'm a genius.
There's no way they'll be able to make it up this slope now.
All this oil we put here should keep them occupied
while we go to work on 'em.
They're gonna be busy slipping and sliding around
like a bunch of idiots,
then we show up and beat the crap out of 'em!
Wow, so that's your plan, huh?
That's right.
I'm going to defend the village no matter what it takes.
Let's just hope none of us slip on that oil
and end up down there with them.
Because that would be like sliding into a meat grinder.
Usopp, I gotta hand it to you,
you're pretty good at fighting dirty.
Of course I am!
There isn't anyone alive who can best me with a sling shot,
or beat me at the art of fighting dirty!
It's almost daybreak.
They're coming.
We're here!
All right, men! You know what to do!
Go ashore! Trash the village! Head for the mansion!
Aye, sir!
Captain, there are already two boats here!
What?!
Shall I investigate?
Leave 'em for later.
They don't look like treasure ships to me
and we have a schedule to keep.
Understood, sir.
What're you waiting for?! It's time to move out!
Where are they?
I thought we were gonna fight.
The sun's up. What's the deal?
Huh... Maybe they over slept.
No.
They're gonna show up all right.
And lots of them.
Wait a minute.
Maybe I'm hearing things,
but it sounds like battle cries from somewhere.
Yeah, I definitely hear them.
No, it can't be.
What can't be?
There's a shore just like this to the north!
They went...
We're at the wrong shore?! That's not good!
Well, this is where they had their secret meeting
so I just assumed okay?!
We need to hurry!
Before they make it to the village! Where is it?!
You have to head directly north from here.
If you run you, could make it in three minutes.
The terrain there is almost exactly the same,
so all we need to do is stop them at the slope.
Don't you worry, we're gonna stop 'em.
Oh no!
If those filthy pirates are at the north shore,
then they've already seen our boats!
They'll take our treasure!
I'll be there in 20 seconds!
Aw, man!
My brilliant oil strategy was all for nothing!
My precious treasure...
Hey!
What're you doing? Let's get outta here.
Yeah.
Help! I'm gonna fall!
Let go, you moron!
Sorry!
Hello.
See ya there!
Sorry, but you understand, the treasure's in danger.
That oil won't be a problem for you, right?!
That girl's gonna pay!
I swear on my life, they'll never set foot in my village!
That Luffy sure is a good runner.
He's so far ahead, I can't even see him anymore.
Run straight north! Run straight north!
Those mongrels are in big trouble
if they so much as look at my treasure!
It's an ambush! Somebody's up there!
We meet again.
I am the legendary Captain Usopp!
I've been waiting for you!
All my men and I are ready to fight to the death!
Turn back now if you value your lives!
I wasn't supposed to be the first one here.
He was running way ahead of me. I can't handle these guys alone.
Crap!
How am I supposed to get past this stuff?!
The village... That can't be right.
He said run north and I ran in a cold-ish direction
so I should be at the shore.
It's you. I remember.
You're one of the troublesome brats who overheard our plan.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm warning you!
Leave here while you still can!
If you don't, my 100 million crewmen
will massacre all of you!
100 million?
Are we really supposed to believe that?
No way! 100 million! Incredible!
Captain! He's obviously lying!
Then it's time to call his bluff.
They saw through it!
That guy seriously thought he could fool us.
What's that?! You've been lying to us this whole time?!
Captain Jango, take a look at this.
Oh no, is it bad?
No, sir! It's good!
We searched those other ships
and found a huge load of treasure!
It's hard to say how much,
but I bet it's around five million berries!
What?
Five million berries?
How in the world did those guys get ahold of so much treasure?
I see you found my loot!
Well, you can have it!
You're just gonna let us take your treasure?
That's right!
Just turn around and forget all about this place
and the treasure is yours!
I didn't think people that stupid actually existed.
At this point, he's just embarrassing himself.
Okay, do you know what a pirate is?
We're going to take this treasure
and there's nothing you can do about it.
And there is no way we're turning back
until we get what we came for.
Well, yeah, that makes sense.
All righ, then.
On the count of "one, two, Jango," you'll let us by.
It's that strange weapon from before.
One, two!
Jan--!
Don't you ever try to give my-hard earned treasure away!
My head!
--Hey! Who is this crazy girl?! --Captain!
This isn't the time to be hypnotizing yourself,
we got a mission to carry out, remember?!
That treasure boat is mine
and I'm not gonna let you have a single berry.
Do ya hear me? In fact you better clear out,
'cause I'm coming down there to get it back!
That really hurts!
Who said you could give them my treasure?!
You got what you deserve!
I didn't give them the treasure,
I just said I would give it to them!
That's the same thing!
And I just saved your life.
I guess I forgot to mention it to ya earlier,
don't ever watch his ring routine.
That weirdo's a hypnotist.
Hypnotist?
So, where's Luffy?
He's a fast runner, I thought he'd be here way ahead of you.
I don't know. He either got lost
or he chickened out at the last minute.
The only thing that could keep him from a fight
is getting lost.
Right when we need him, too.
I'll go ahead and take command here.
I think it's about time you go 'n kick their butts!
What?! Me?! What about you?!
I can't take on a boatload of vicious pirates by myself!
That's just suicide!
What? Like I'm gonna do any fighting?
Beneath this calm exterior lies the abject terror of a coward.
Oh, so you think you're scared?!
Well, I'm so scared I am literally about to cry!
Please! Your eyes are completely dry!
You'll have to do better than that.
Liars can smell their own.
That's just your upper lip!
I got beat up by...
We don't have time for this nonsense.
All right, men, let's get to work!
Crush them and move to the village!
Here they come.
Wait! I know! I have some caltrops!
Those are just what the doctor ordered!
Lemme have some!
Your gonna love this!
Caltrop!
Hell!
Nami...
...if your still alive when I get outta here,
I'm gonna kill you!
Take that, oil!
Now... how do I get to the north shore from here?
Run straight north! Run straight north!
Run straight nor--!
But which way is north?
Yes! We got 'em!
Check it out! Here comes...
...the Lead Star!
Bastard!
Way to go! You're quite the warrior after all.
Looks like you got this handled so I'll just take a break.
But you haven't done anything yet!
Uh, what is it?
There are caltrops behind us.
Idiot! You dropped those things behind us, too?!
Get outta the way!
Ha. Don't tell me you really thought
you were going to stop us down there.
Let's go, fellas! Captain Kuro hates waiting!
You again.
Let go of me, you jackass! You want some more?!
Here! Have some! Have a little more!
I will never...
...let you step foot in that village!
All I did was lie like I always do.
See...
Today will be like every other day in that sleepy little town,
'cause you and your cronies will never set foot in it!
Shut up!
Stupid girl!
Treasure...
Are you--?
Shut up! I won't tell you again!
We've wasted enough time playing pirates!
Quit bothering with them and move to the village!
Or have you forgotten that this is Captain Kuro's operation?
And he doesn't look favorably on his well laid plans
being ruined by idiots!
He'll kill us all!
You understand that, you cretins?!
He's right!
Yeah! Let's get to the village!
Don't go any further.
I said stop!
Turn back. Don't take another step.
Get off me!
Please, don't kill them.
Just leave this village alone. They're good people.
They don't deserve this. I love this place.
Please!
What is this, Captain Jango?
Nobody told us that killers like those
were gonna be here!
It's about time.
Is that the best those pirates can dish out?
Yeah, I was hopin' for a challenge.
And you!
After leaving me down there,
you're lucky I'm not kickin' your butt too!
Ussop, you big bonehead!
You never told me which direction was north!
Who are these guys?
They're late.
I don't appreciate tardiness. Not one bit.
They know full well what happens to those
who are foolish enough to upset my plans.
Do they think they can take their sweet time?
Well, if they have forgotten the consequences
of disappointing me...
I'll kill them all.
It looks like the butler from Kaya's mansion.
But it's so early in the morning.
Why is he walking to the shore?
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...
Is this the place?
I'm gonna get you, Nami!
How dare you leave me down there!
Crap! Zoro's really mad!
Now your gonna pay!
Oh, I know!
By the count of "one, two, Jango,"
you'll fall deeply asleep.
You wish! Hey, Luffy! Wake up!
Oh, look at that guy's hand!
Don't change the subject!
On the next One Piece:
"Terrifying Duo!
Meowban Brothers vs. Zoro!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates! King of the Pirates!
