One Piece: Stampede (ONE PIECE STAMPEDE)

Good day

all you hopeless jailbirds waiting to end your lives locked up in these cells!

If y'all are just waiting for your death, how 'bout it?

Why don't y'all fight to the death in those cells?!

Whoever lives... I'll make you part of my crew and take y'all with me outside!

Take the others, but not him.

So, he was alive...

The man known as the "Demon Heir"...

Wealth, fame, power...

Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, once attained everything this world had to offer...

The last words before his death drove people around the world to the seas.

"My treasure? If you want it, you can have it.

Find it. I left everything the world has to offer there."

These words sparked the Great Pirate Era.

That moment... I died once... and so did you.

But... count me in.

I, Buena Festa, have the greatest information of my life!

The treasure he hid away is within my hands!

With that... everything that you desire will be yours!

Let's do it...

The world's largest festival of the pirates, by the pirates, for the pirates...!

The Pirates Fest!

Ahem, "To all of my dearest pirates!

A mix of enemies and allies exchanging toasts can be fun.

Anyone is free to come and go as they please.

We invite you to this world's largest banquet, the Pirates Fest.

Sincerely, Buena Festa, Festival Pirates Captain."

I see it!

Festival!

I have heard of the Pirates Fest.

It is an enormous pirate festival suddenly held once every few years.

I hear rare ships, food, weapons, information, and such from around the world will be there.

Like a pirates' black market, eh?

Sounds like there'll be good booze, too.

"Furthermore, this time around, as entertainment, a" ...

..."Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates" ...

..."-related treasure hunt is planned."

Sounds like fun

"Hunt for the Pirate King's treasure"!

-A pirate festival?

-Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!

--They even sent us an Eternal Pose to the festival's island.

-And what's more, the Pirate King's--

-Treasure hunt!

Hey! Have some suspicions!

She’s scary!

Buena Festa was known as the world's No. 1 Festival Master,

as well as a pirate who had strong ties to informants and weapon merchants,

and was the subject of endless dark rumors.

But I thought he was dead.

A dead man and the Pirate King's treasure...

Well, whatever the truth is,

we can't ignore the words "King of the Pirates." Right, Captain?

It's a treasure hunt among pirates! Of course it's gonna be fun!

Let's go! To the Pirates Fest!

Marvelous...

The main players are arriving...

Excuse me, Mr. Festa.

You sure do look feisty... Monkey D. Luffy.

This is the grand festival to celebrate our launch.

Make sure you fire it up!

My dear pirates!

You havin' fun at the Pirates Fest?!

I'm sure you all know, but fights, kidnapping, stealing, etc...

Anything is allowed in this Pirates Fest!

But... there's just one solid rule!

Never tell the Navy about this festival!

Anyone who does... will be chased to the ends of hell and eliminated by all the pirates here.

Ooh, how scary!

Oops, I haven't introduced myself!

I am the MC and your host, Donald Moderate!

And here is our special guest! Everyone's favorite songstress, Ann!

Nice to meet you, everyone!

As you all know Ann is a Devil Fruit power-user!

Viso-Viso Vision!

Whoa! Hot!

The Viso-Viso Fruit!

It's power can turn any touched image into a visual illusion!

Though it vanishes right away.

Thank you!

Now, we're resurrecting this Pirates Fest after 20 long years.

And there's a reason why it takes place on this island!

It is said that a little before the dawn of the Great Pirate Era,

Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, discovered this island

and hid an amazing treasure somewhere on this island!

And this is what he said:

"In a deep, lofty darkness we leave our answer."

Now, my friends! This is a challenge from the King of the Pirates!

Let us solve this mystery and get our hands on that treasure!

Hey, hurry! They're saying somethin'!

We're super late!

That's you guys' fault! I said we were just getting ready for the treasure hunt!

Why'd you have to stuff yourselves like that?!

Look who's talking.

At any rate, this pumped-up crowd...

This is the real deal!

Yeah! Can't wait!

Don't you all worry! The almighty Usopp will get the treasure for sure!

Let's go, Chopper!

Yeah!

Guess we just have to go along with them.

But as far as I can tell from the pirates gathered here...

Yeah... I see tons of crazy guys.

What?!

Hey all the Sunny's ready to go anytime!

-Countin' on ya, Franky!

-Ugh.

My "Mustn't Treasure Hunt" disease is getting to me...

You okay, Usopp?!

What the hell... are you doing, ya flashy idiots?!

Not me! It's this guy's fault!

Why is it my fault?!

Shut up flashily! Hurry up and find him!

You're the one responsible for security!

Correct! I am responsible for security here!

I’m one of the terrifying Seven Warlords of the Sea!

The living legend... Captain Buggy, the Genius Jester!

We sent in 200 security pirates, and yet, still can't catch one rat...!

Our pay from that festival geezer's gonna go down! Find him flashily!

Looks like the situation's gonna be far worse than I thought.

Straw Hat-ya!

Aha!

Found you! Trafalgar Law!

Room... Shambles!

He vanished?!

The Pirates Fest... To think that this many pirates actually gathered...

"Arrest them all this second"...

.. .is what I wanna say, but...

Our main target is the big boss, Festa the "Festival Master."

A big-time pirate from the days of Roger who we thought died in a Sea King accident.

And this guy, too.

The man the Navy Headquarters won't even admit is alive.

Douglas Bullet... the worst escapee from Level 6 at Impel Down...

If these two are teamed up, this is clearly no ordinary festival.

What was that?

What's goin' on?

S-S-S-S-S-Stop! It's a sign to stop!

No... This must be...

The current’s flow is...

My god! S-Something crazy has started to happen!

Ah! My friends! Remember those words I said earlier!

"In a deep, lofty darkness"...

.. ."we leave our answer."

But what does it mean by "lofty"?!

C-Could this be...?!

Wait... I get it.

From the darkness of the deep sea, it climbs to the heavens above!

Awesome!

It's the shooting sea current... the Knock-Up Stream!

Whoa! And a bunch of bubbles have appeared!

Furthermore...! A very, very large--

Whoaaaa! What is that?!

An... island?! It's a bubble with a whole island inside it!

How pretty!

There's no mistake! That's gotta be Roger's hidden answer!

Now, my friends! How will you proceed to that treasure island?!

All right! Go, Franky!

Leave it to me, Cap'n! This is why we have a... secret weapon!

A secret weapon?!

Out of my way, shrimps...

Ooh! The first ones to kick things off are...

... the infamous Kid Pirates from the Worst Generation!

Their captain, Eustass "Captain" Kid, and his partner, "Massacre Soldier" Killer,

are in the game!

Now the Pirates Fest is heating up!

The hunt for the treasure of Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates--!

No! This is pretty much like a Treasure Race!

Now start!

Kid, you're gonna play along with this game?

A game, eh...?

A-pa-pa!

Now! Pirates aiming for the treasure are following Kid!

The On-Air Pirates are sailing rhythmically!

This is their captain, Scratchmen Apoo!

What's all the rush, yo?!

Ohh! And the Drake Pirates got ahead!

X. Drake is closing in on Kid!

Red Flag and Sea Roar, eh...?

And! With the only female captain in the Worst Generation... the Bonney Pirates!

This is Bonney, the "Glutton"!

More pizzas!

The hell are you doin'?!

Please make way, young lady.

The Fallen Monk Pirates have cut in! This is their captain... Urouge!

Ohh! What a merciless blast from the Firetank Pirates!

It's Capone "Gang" Bege!

Can't beat me in numbers...

Next, the Hawkins Pirates follow!

Hey... Is this the time to be reading fortunes?!

We'll support Luffy-senpai with all we got!

I'm going to stand out the most!

Hey! Let me do the introductions, too!

The ones who are closing in on the Worst Generation

are Bartolomeo the Cannibal and White Horse Cavendish!

And! And...!

A bunch of other pirates, too.

Introduce us properly!

What's gonna happen in this Treasure Race?!

They're climbing neck-and-neck up the Knock-Up Stream!

So that's where the treasure is?
