Wealth, fame, power...
Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained everything this world has to offer.
The words he uttered just before his death drove people to the seas.
My treasure? If you want it, you can have it!
Find it! I left everything this world has to offer there!
And so men head for the Grand Line in pursuit of their dreams!
The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
However...
--I can't see! --Don't push!
Get them out of the way already!
This is hell.
--Damn! --This is the worst!
Enough with this.
Annoying pirates...
Even in such times, the majority of people...
...do not aspire to be pirates and do not pursue the One Piece.
Just like them...
"Dear Nami-san,
You're a special pirate.
The world today is dominated by barbarians...
...who rely on their Devil Fruit power and brute strength.
But you can outsmart them with your wits and resourcefulness!
Nami-san, you're my hope."
Hey! Go make this delivery!
"I hope you continue to have wonderful adventures!"
Delivery!
Hey! I told you to knock!
Where are your glasses? You'll get hurt if you're making deliveries without them!
I can't go. I'm busy.
What?
I'm about to go on the adventure of a lifetime!
--Bye! --Listen. People can't live alone.
The brothers from the greengrocer's family give their parents money, and even just got promoted!
I told you that those bulls and I are completely different!
Yeah, very different! They work hard and...
I heard they even played a big part in the Paramount War!
I wanna quit this job.
Should we withdraw?!
--No need. Go around the back! --Yes, sir!
Big Bro!
Is that some kind of tactic?
That's why you're moving up the ladder slower than I am.
Be smarter!
Of course, it's Dracule Mihawk!
I got to see Hawkeye in person, so I'm sure of it!
It's Vista the Flower Blade.
No! The world's strongest swordsman is Roronoa Zoro!
Roronoa?
Isn't he already dead to begin with?
Right?
--He's alive! --He's dead!
He's alive!
He's dead! I read in the paper that he died!
Hey! If you wanna read it, buy it!
--Afro's here! --Go away, Afro!
Stupid brats!
A cyborg shipwright, Franky.
We will dig into the truth behind his sudden disappearance two years ago!
MONTHLY SHIPWRIGHT, SPECIAL ISSUE ON FRANKY RENTAL YAGARA SHOP OWNER
Franky? I don't know...
Ask people at the shipyard.
Ask Iceburg-san about that sort of thing!
GALLEY-LA COMPANY VICE PRESIDENT, PAULIE-SAN
You need an appointment.
ICEBURG'S PERSONAL SECRETARY ALICE-SAN
We were at a dead end.
AT A DEAD END
But we got a stunning picture of Franky!
STUNNING TRUE IMAGE OF HIM
What the...
Who's gonna buy this crap?
Yeah.
"By the way, Nami-san, I didn't miss it!
Captain Luffy's message, 3D2Y, in the newspaper!
And I knew that this was a ploy to deceive the Navy!
The key is how many times he rang the bell!
The number references the spawning cycle of sea cucumbers around Sabaody!
And their spawning day is precisely today!
The Straw Hats will be reunited on the Sabaody Archipelago today!
That's how I knew to wait for you at the port to be able to deliver this letter to you!
This street should have been less crowded...
Okay, let's switch to plan B!
Sorr...
M-My bones are gonna break...
You need more calcium.
All you can do is pound milk more because it's a matter of bones!
Is that a skull joke? What a skull joke!
What's wrong with them?!
--Sorry that I'm a good-for-nothing. --Sorry that I have a room full of merch.
--Oh, shut up! --Sorry that I keep buying the same merch.
--I wonder if he made it to the ship. --Sorry that I always listen to the same song.
Zoro is alive.
I'm sure he's getting stronger somewhere in the world.
Onihihi!
--What did you say? --Onigiri.
--No way! --You making fun of him?
--Why does he put a sword in his mouth? --More is not always better!
--Oss. --What?
--Moss. --Why?
Mosshead!
What's he so mad about?
That's not just any card.
That's the important key to the future of Sabaody's security.
Deliver it promptly. Treat it with care.
What happens if I drop it somewhere?
I won't drop it!
That guy's scary.
How could you crack a joke at him?!
He alone held back a big ice block that could've crushed our warship in the Paramount War.
He is indeed the Benevolent King of the Waves who has a steadfast spirit!
How cute!
Oh no! He's so cute, I'm taken by surprise every time I see him.
But Chopper-kun is a pirate and I'm a Navy soldier.
We're like oil and water.
--But I can't crack down on you! --Ring, ring, ring...
--Clank. --Hello.
What happened to the activation passkey for the new anti-pirate weapon?
Yes, I sent a man a moment ago.
If this experiment is successful, we can eradicate pirates from Sabaody!
I'm counting on you.
Clank.
Oh, Chopper-kun...
Where are you now?
What's this creature?
"Special issue on Franky"?! Wow!
--Oh, so that robot is quite famous. --"Anatomy of Franky"?!
Is he okay?!
I'm scared!
And he's not buying it.
You left the key in the back door!
And the other day...
I was depressed for half an hour!
If I can't make it in time, I'll go crazy...
I'm sor... Ugh!
The younger brother from the greengrocer!
Phew! I know he would annoy me...
Oh, no!
I didn't drop anything!
That's my...
Ouch!
The ground around here is pretty uncomfortable to step on.
You...
They're in my way.
A worthless roadside pebble belongs in shadows.
Hey, is this...
Whoa-whoa, w-what's the matter?! Are you hurt?
No, I'm just having a rough day...
Like, a Navy soldier took my letter, and...
I just passed a soldier with a letter.
He went in there.
Okay, I'll teach you a special magic phrase. Ready?
"I'm waiting for someone, so just water for now!"
Just water for now!
Get out, you brat!
You damn amateur! It's definitely Whitebeard!
He's not a swordsman! He was using a naginata!
--It's Mihawk 'cause I saw his strength! --Yeah, you saw Hawkeye. Okay.
I saw it with my very eyes!
You guys don't know anything! The strongest is...
...Akainu!
We're talking about the strongest swordsman!
They're not good judges...
Zoro is the most promising one, so it's him. Right?
How can you talk about Mosshead, but not Black-Leg?
--No way! --His bounty is lower than Zoro's!
There's no way that he's the world's strongest!
What's he so mad about?
Calm down, guys. I see no end to this.
--Let's narrow it down to young pirates. --I got it back!
Then, the Worst Generation?
Trafalgar, Captain Kid...
Zoro!
--Oh, it's that one! --And Straw Hat.
I knew you'd be here!
Big Bro!
Why aren't you at work?
The fate of that new weapon depends on me.
Stop it! That's confidential!
Hey! Who do you think is the strongest?
I know who his favorite is! It's Straw Hat Luffy!
Oh, why is that?!
Are you guys supporting pirates?
--No, no! --That's not what this is about!
Whoa-whoa. He's kind of a wet blanket so...
That's why you can't move up the ladder like me.
What? Is your little brother at a higher rank than you?
He always says one word too many! He's such a jerk!
And as usual, the big brother lets him say whatever he wants.
Can you still love your little brother when he's such a jerk?
I don't like my brother.
He's so clumsy!
How clumsy!
Be smarter!
I...
...don't like my brother.
W-What's this?
Big Bro!
Where are you, Big Bro?!
Big Bro!
I'm your brother!
That sling slips off easily, doesn't it?
The general issue ones suck!
I don't want it.
You got sloped shoulders, too.
Be smarter!
Big Bro...
Run!
If Gold Roger hadn't triggered the start of the Great Pirate Era...
If Fire Fist Ace hadn't been caught...
If we hadn't been called up to this war...
If I hadn't been trapped under the giant leg...
If the sling hadn't broken...
If I hadn't heard that guy's voice...
Every little thing is changing my life little by little.
If I can survive...
will I be able to make an impact on someone's life someday?
Just like that guy.
My brother's here thanks to Straw Hat.
But he lost his brother Ace right before his eyes.
He's been missing ever since.
I wonder how he's doing now.
This is urgent! We found the Straw Hat Pirates!
Straw Hat?!
Seems like they're gonna meet their new crew members at Grove 46!
So Nami...
...will be there!
Where's Nami?!
A bunch of Navy soldiers suddenly rushed in and started fighting pirates!
They're obviously imposters!
I mean, who is that? Is she supposed to be Nami? Really?!
Do your research! If I were her, I would...
What? What? No, no...
Oh, no!
Oh, damn!
I couldn't get a ticket to Soul King's final show of his tour...
--Alright, let's browse as always! --It doesn't cost anything to read!
She's crying...
You stupid barbarians!
Pacifistas!
Gum-Gum...
...Jet...
...Pistol!
Oh...
He's looking great.
Straw Hat Luffy beat a Pacifista with a single blow?!
That's great! Lieutenant Commander, activate it.
But that weapon releases a toxic fluid into the sea that dissolves ships along with their coating.
It could affect the ecosystem...
Shut up! Do whatever it takes to drown Straw Hat!
Clank.
Of all the ships, it's the ship Chopper-kun is on...
But I...
I...
You can go see Soul King!
--Soul King is Brook! --They say he went to Grove 42!
--He's a member of the Straw Hats! --Straight from the venue!
We'll take you there!
No thanks!
Don't be shy!
Let us take you with us as a hostage...
Ugh! The older greengrocer brother!
--You're the girl from the wholesaler family! --No, I'm not!
Why are you here?! It's dangerous!
Hey! We can't go on beyond this point! Dark King Rayleigh is there!
Rayleigh?! I didn't know he was alive!
--Let's go around. --It'll take 30 minutes to get to Grove 42.
Let's make a deal.
I can get there in 10 minutes. You want to catch Straw Hat, right?
I said, "let's make a deal"!
How could I possibly allow such a dangerous thing?! Let's go home!
Don't treat me like a kid!
I'm already 15!
I told you! We're not pirates!
What? Why did they run...
--My Franky! --My Zoro!
I can't believe we really made it through the square this quickly...
--Isn't it amazing? So it's a deal! --No, it's not!
--Why not?! --Let's go home...
--What are those giant bugs?! --Why are they attacking us?
It's looking at you! Did you do something to it?!
Gee, I gotta go see Nami, so stay out of my way!
You can't go! It's our duty to protect you civilians from dangerous pirates...
Nami's not a dangerous pirate!
But she's a pirate.
Yes, she's a pirate!
But she's different...
She changed my life!
I don't have a Devil Fruit power or muscles like yours!
I thought that in this age where power is everything,
a powerless girl like me could never live freely!
Nami is precious to me because she makes me think I can have adventures, too.
That's why I wanna support her.
But...
I can't let you see her in person, but I'll allow you to see her from a distance.
What?!
I'll share the shortcut with the Navy.
We'll do our best to arrest Straw Hat.
But we're trapped in here.
A key left in the lock...
Is this a back door?!
This is the story of a hero
I'm on my way! I just got held back a bit...
Hey!
There is a giant bird in the sky!
We have a visual of Monkey D. Luffy on its back!
The Straw Hats will reassemble!
Thanks! I think I can make it in time!
You can't see her in person!
Hey, I think you've changed a little.
Did something happen? Is it because of the war?
I guess it's because of the war.
Thanks to this man...
Thanks for carrying me this far!
I'm sorry that I move up the ladder so slowly...
Boss, I caught an intruder.
That's good. Stay there and keep an eye on her.
It's the perfect job for a spoiled rich kid.
Don't underestimate me...
I'm the one who'll sink Straw Hat's ship with the new weapon and make a name for himself.
Sink?
No! You can't do that!
Nami... She'll die...
A worthless roadside pebble shouldn't have a say in anything.
I won't be able to see her in person...
I'll just watch as their ship sinks...
I can't even hand her a single letter...
--Civilians are attacking us! --I'm gonna see Soul King!
Let go of me!
Th-The passkey!
C-Catch her!
Hurry up and take it back! Or we won't be able to activate it in time!
Fools! What are you doing?! She's just a kid!
B-Benevolent King of the Waves!
"Nami-san, you're my hope.
In this world where power is everything, even if I get hurt and trampled on,
I still want to struggle, run, and live as freely as I can.
I came to think that way thanks to you.
I hope you continue to have wonderful adventures!"
Set sail!
S-Straw Hat's ship is out of the firing range...
You brat! What the hell are you doing?!
Whoa-whoa, kids don't know any better.
Cut the crap!
She stole and destroyed classified material. This is definitely a crime!
It could even be a felony...
What are you talking about?
This is my own letter.
What?!
I just retrieved my own letter which was taken from me.
It's to someone precious to me...
It's a fan letter!
Set sail!
Yeah!
