One Piece

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!

Whoa…

"I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna be King of the Pirates!"

No worries!

A whirlpool of that size poses no problem to this ship!

Miss.

May I have this dance?

Alright!

Not again…

Batter out!

What're you doing? You suck!

This thing's heavy!

Must be filled with booze, then!

It's all ours now!

Ship off the starboard stern!

There's a pirate flag on its mast!

It's a pirate ship! Enemy raid! Enemy raid!

Captain! Pirates!

What?!

Everyone, stay calm!

Stay calm!

Follow instructions in a calm manner!

Fire!

Coby!

Y-Yes, ma'am?!

Who's the most beautiful of all on these seas?

T-This ship's captain, Alvida- sama , of course!

Well done!

T-Thank you!

Alvida- sama . This is our first prey in a while.

That's right!

Alright! Start pounding the ship!

Men! Show them the terror of Iron Club Alvida, the woman pirate!

Coby! What're you doing?!

I-I'm not good at this sort of thing…

Hmm?! Are you tryin' to give me backtalk?!

P-Please, anything but the club!

Then get your ass in gear!

We won't take your lives, but we will take all your valuables!

Anyone who tries to fight back will wind up at the bottom of the ocean!

Hello…

There's no one in here, right?

What a relief…

That's a rather large barrel…

Who're you?! Never seen you before!

Hey, coward!

Are you hidin' out in a place like this again?!

N-No! I thought I'd haul this big barrel of alcohol over…

We'll lighten it for ya!

I was just feelin' thirsty!

You can't! Alvida-sama will kill us if she finds out!

Then you just need to keep your mouth shut!

Right, Coby?

Y-Yes! You're right!

Thing's pretty heavy!

Can't wait!

Hold your horses! I'll bust it right open!

I slept great!

Huh?

Who're you guys?

No, who are you?!

That guy's gonna catch cold if he sleeps there, y'know.

You did that!

Are you toyin' with us even when you know we're pirates?!

Man, I'm hungry! You got any food?

Listen when people are talking!

You damn kid!

Die!

What's the big idea?

W-Who are you?!

Me?

I'm Monkey D. Luffy. Nice to meetcha!

What the… What just happened?

What's with them?

R-Run, hurry! If they come back with their friends, you'll be killed!

But man, I sure am hungry!

How can you be so carefree?!

There are still lots more of them up on deck!

C'mon! This way!

H-H-Hey! Not this way!

Food! Food! Food! Yes! Food!

Actually, they might not find us in here!

Which should I choose? This box? Ooh, jackpot!

These look great!

M-My name is Coby. You're Luffy-san, right?

That was incredible just now! How did you do that?!

These things are great!

Is this a pirate ship?

No, it's a passenger ship that's being raided by Alvida-sama.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Do you know if there are any boats onboard?

I-I think so…

My ship got swallowed by this giant whirlpool…

You mean that whirlpool?! No one could survive that!

Boy, was that a real surprise!

Are you one of those pirates, too?

It was on that fateful day…

That day, I got in a boat on the outskirts of town to go fishing…

but it turned out the boat was actually headed for a pirate ship.

It's been two years since…

In exchange for my life, I've been forced to be a chore boy.

Man, you're dumb and stupid!

You're brutally honest…

If you don't like it, then run away!

I-I can't! No way! No way!

Just the thought of Alvida-sama finding me makes me weak in the knees…

Oh, you're a wimp, too?

Man, I hate you!

Hey, now! Quit dawdling!

Haul it all off before the marines get here!

Anyone caught dawdling gets a taste of my iron club!

-What a haul! -Seems like a pretty rich ship!

Hey! You'll get the club if she catches you slackin' off!

Oh, whoops!

Yeah, one hit from that and you're a goner!

Alvida-sama!

It's bad!

What is it?! You're annoying me!

A b-barrel!

M-Monster!

Huh?!

Who're you calling a monster?!

N-No… Some weird guy popped out of a barrel…

He might be… a bounty hunter…

What?!

Yeah… That's right…

If only I had the courage to drift the ocean in a barrel…

There's actually something I want to do, too.

Umm… What compelled you to set out onto the sea, Luffy-san?
