One Piece (ワンピース)

Wealth, fame, power...

Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates,

once attained everything this world has to offer.

The words he uttered just 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 this world has to offer there!

And so men rushed onto the Grand Line in pursuit of romanticism!

The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!

As Luffy and his friends continued their voyage in search of Fishman Island,

they finally reached the Red Line, the halfway point of the Grand Line.

It's the Red Line!

I can't see the top...

It's huge!

So this is the Red Line...

Anyway, we're halfway there now!

But the towering Red Line blocked their way,

and they lost their path to Fishman Island.

I know which way we need to go, but I don't know the means to get there.

Gum-Gum Rifle!

It spit something out.

Huh? A fish?

It... It couldn't be!

Stuck at a dead end with no options,

Luffy and his friends met Camie the mermaid and Pappug the starfish.

"Hatred for the Straw Hats! Iron Mask Duval Appears!"

Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?

Sure...

That surprised me! Look at all the humans!

Wh-What?

We're the one who're surprised!

Thanks for saving me when I was about to be digested.

I'm such an easy target for sea monsters to eat...

That was about the twentieth time.

You get eaten too much!

I need to do something to thank you.

I know! Would you like some takoyaki?

Takoyaki?! That's my favorite!

Really? Okay, that'll be 500 Berries per person!

What?!

You're trying to sell 'em?!

I messed up!

Mermaid! Mermaid!

Yes! The most admired of all races, the mermaid!

The jewel of the sea, the mermaid!

And yes! I got to meet one of them!

She's so cute!

It's my first time meeting a mermaid!

You're name's Camie-chan?!

It's not your first time.

You met the old woman Kokoro, didn't you?

Thriller Bark?

No, that doesn't scare me. It doesn't scare me!

If you want to know what scared me the most in my life, it was...

Uh, sorry, Sanji! Pretend I didn't say that!

It's your first time seeing a mermaid!

You guys are rude!

Huh? The old woman Kokoro was a mermaid?

But she was walking.

Oh, that's right, you didn't know.

It was while you were fighting Lucci.

Don't you...

...die!

I really don't want to think of Kokoro as a mermaid.

You're too blunt!

That hurt! What'd you do that for, Nami?!

I swear, when it comes to guys and their desires toward mermaids...

She is quite a cute mermaid, though.

This is my first time meeting a mermaid, as well.

Pardon me, but would you lend me some money?

Why should she?!

A skeleton!

Look at that! How could you scare her?! Go away!

I can open my head, too. Fun, right?

Damn little...

How fun!

She's quick to accept people...

By the way, do you poop?

What are you asking her?!

Sure, I—

She does not!

She really doesn't!

Camie, Camie?

That's strange. Aren't you missing someone?

What's missing from that little circle of fun?

The answer is me.

Oh, yeah, I've been wondering.

Hey, Camie, what's this talking glove thing?

Sorry, I totally forgot.

That's my pet, Pappug. He's a starfish, and my master.

Master?

Yep. My master.

This thing?

Yep!

Nice to meet ya!

Do starfish talk?

Isn't it weird to have a pet that's your master?

I let her keep me as a pet. I've got my reasons.

Camie always gives me clams...

Food, eh?

"Are you a person?" I'm a starfish, not a person.

What a brute!

I'm not a person, I'm a starfish.

"Are you busy?"

No, no!

I've got plenty of hands.

Yay! Thank you!

Laugh! This is where you laugh!

So, this T-shirt is by a brand called Criminal.

It's all the rage on Fishman Island.

Wow!

It's so cool!

Pappug is the designer.

I want to be a designer someday, too.

You could totally be one, Camie-chan!

Thank you, Sanji-chin!

Nobody's listening...

Hey, how can you talk, anyway?

That's a very good question!

He got over that quick.

When I was little, I mistakenly thought I was a person.

By the time I realized I was a starfish, I could already speak human language.

You can learn to talk because of that?

It's scary when you get on a roll!

That momentum drives the world!

So anyway, I'm Pappug the starfish.

I'm an up-and-coming designer.

Thanks for saving us!

I'm glad we met you, actually.

We had just lost our way, and I wanted to ask—

Hey, Nami! Takoyaki comes first!

Oh, right. I wanted to repay you with takoyaki.

Then we'll have to meet up with Hatchin somewhere...

Hatchin?

Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring...

Ring ring ring... Click.

Hello, Hatchin? It's Camie!

Sorry we got separated. Where are you now?

Hey! Is that Camie I hear?

Hatchin?

You don't know who I am? I'm not Hachi.

What?! You're not Hatchin?!

I'm Macro! The very same one, from the Dopey Macro Pirates!

Hey, I just said it myself...

Sounds like there's some trouble.

Why do you have Hatchin's Transponder Snail?

Because I beat up that Hachi punk, of course!

You're lying! Hatchin would never lose to you guys!

Yeah, normally we're no match for Hachi,

but this time, we've teamed up with the Flying Fish Riders!

The Flying Fish Riders?!

Camie, you're okay? Thank goodness.

Hatchin! Did they really beat you?

They sort of caught me off guard...

But you mustn't come here!

I'll wreak a little havoc and be back home soon, so it'll be fine.

Hatchin...

Hey, Camie, I'm about to sell off your buddy!

Octopus fishmen are rare, so he's worth a fortune!

If you want to come save him, you're welcome to.

We're five kilometers east of Grove #44 in the Sabaody Archipelago,

at the hideout of the kidnapping gang, the Flying Fish Riders.

No! Camie, don't come!

Shut up, you octopus!

Bye, now.

Hatchin...

Hey...

Camie-chan...

So, where's the takoyaki?

Is this really the time?!
