One Piece: Romance Dawn Story (ワンピース ロマンスドーンストーリー)

Wealth, fame, and power.

There once was a man who obtained it all- The Pirate King, Gold Roger.

His last words at the execution stand sent people from all over the world out to sea.

My wealth and treasure?

It can be yours if you want it!

Search for it!

I left everything in that one place.

Men now set sail for the Grand Line in search of romance.

The world has entered a Great Age of Pirates!

I'm so sorry. This is all because I didn't pay attention.

It's hopeless... I feel faint...

Nami-san, hang in there... And Robin-chan, are you all right?

I never would've thought that this could happen.

This won't be very funny if it leads to the whole crew dying.

I doubted my eyes when I saw what he had done...

Ah! Though I have no eyes.

That's all in the past now. Whining about it won't get us anywhere.

For now, we just need to preserve our strength.

We can't even move right now, so we'll just have to believe...

in our Captain.

We're counting on you, Luffy.

I'm worried...

I see a town!

Time to go ashore, men!

Yeah!

Boss, we're almost ready to go ashore.

I see.

I'm ready for some action!

We'll show those people just how terrifying we are.

Every last one of them!

W-W-What's going on?!

That is one big ship!

Is it a pirate ship?

Oh, I know!

A ship?

The ocean liner isn't supposed to arrive today, right?

That mark!

We're under attack!

Pirates are coming!

N-No way!

Run!

Take refuge in the town center!

Hurry and get to safety!

We're under attack by pirates!

Pirates?!

I won't let the pirates have their way!

I'll protect my treasure, even if it kills me!

I won't let anyone take it!

I'll chase those pirates away!

No doubt about it. That's Gally of the Crescent Moon's ship!

Gally... I heard he recently got a bounty on his head.

If he attacks this small town, there'll be nothing left of it!

Why don't we try to negotiate with him?

But... if we give him the money we've saved up... even if it is to protect the town...

But trying to fight him would be far too reckless!

What should we do, Mayor?!

We just have to fight them!

Silk?!

There's no need for concern. We can just drive those pirates away!

You be quiet!

Don't say it in unison!

I live in this town too, you know!

Why should we let the pirates trample all over us?!

We have to stand up to them sooner or later!

Please, just stay out of this!

Whenever you get involved, even the most trivial situations turn into disasters!

Go to the town center.

Huh?! Why?!

Anyway, I'll try talking to them.

A few of you should stay here, but the rest should head for the town center.

I'm sorry!

Is that Gally of the Crescent Moon?

I thought "Crescent Moon" referred to the shape of his mustache.

Huh, I expected someone more muscular.

It must be because of his hat! It looks like a crescent moon!

I see...

Why is there only one?

Aw, man... I couldn't get any food after all.

Well, there must be a café here somewhere.

I'll just go get something to eat while I'm here.

I won't let you get away with this!

Who the hell do you think I am?!

I'm the great Gally of the Crescent Moon!

I only dropped my guard for a second! That's why I lost!

No wait! Like hell would I ever lose, dumbass!

I was just wondering if you'd share some of your food!

Besides, you're the one who attacked me!

As soon as I said your mustache looked weird...

Whaddaya mean, weird?!

You're totally picking a fight with me!

Too bad you picked the wrong opponent.

You've angered the last man in the world you'd want as your enemy...

Me, the great Gally-sama-

What?!

He already left.

Oh, really?!

I'm gonna kill him.

Why isn't he making any demands?

Café!

Huh?!

Hang in there! Who did this to you?!

I-It was Silk again...

She ran off again?

But I can't believe he'd hurt one of the townsfolk. You'll pay for this, pirate!

Sniff, sniff...

It's a café!

Excuse me!

There you are!

I've been looking for you!

W-Who are you?

Prepare yourself, Gally of the Crescent Moon!

Right! I'm sure that must have scared him!

I cut his head off!

W-What should I do?! I only wanted to scare him!

What was that, all of a sudden?! That's dangerous, you know!

Monster!

That's rude!

You're Gally of the Crescent Moon, aren't you?!

Who's that?

I got the wrong man?

But weren't you on that ship?

Oh, that?

Who are you?

I'm Monkey D. Luffy. A pirate.

A pirate?!

Get out of this town! I'll protect my treasure!

Treasure?

You came here to plunder us, didn't you?!

No I didn't.

I got separated from my crew, then ended up in this town by coincidence.

You're not part of Gally's crew?

No, I'm not.

Who are you, exactly?

What?!

My hat! My hat got cut!

Hey! Look what you've done to my treasure!

T-Treasure? That straw hat is your treasure?

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

I cut your treasure...

It's fine, really. You fixed it up, after all.

Anyway, sorry about eating your food like this...

Don't let it bother you.

Still, how funny. Your treasure being a hat...

You think?

I got this straw hat from Shanks. It means a lot to me.

You mean Red Haired Shanks, the great pirate?!

Yeah. I made a pledge on this hat,

to gather up a crew and become a pirate.

Are you really just a pirate?

A completely normal pirate.

I'm searching for the great treasure, One Piece.

Oh, but I guess I won't really be normal any more once I become the Pirate King.

I'm the daughter of a pirate.

A pirate's abandoned child.

Really?

Pirates often target this place. It's been this way for a long time.

Fifteen years ago, a pirate crew attacked this town and abandoned a child here.

That child was me.

We can't... survive like this...

What should we do?!

Really...

She has no idea how we feel...

Yeah...

We can't just stay depressed forever!

We have to protect this child.

All of us!

I am the child of a pirate who destroyed this town.

You'd think they'd bear a grudge against me,

or that they'd feel no duty to look after me,

but the townsfolk didn't care about that, and raised me to become who I am today.

That's why... this town is my treasure!

Do you understand?!

I don't want to see the kind-hearted people of this town cry!

They're all so important to me, that I'll fight for them even if I'm alone!

Thanks for the food...

Listen when people are talking to you!

Gally?

That's right.

You've got a really weird name!

My name is Silk! Gally is the pirate!

Is he really not here?

You little insect collector! I won't stand for this!

My name is weird?! Not even my parents ever told me such a thing!

You've got some nerve mocking me, the great Gally-sama!

That's Gally of the Crescent Moon?!

So he managed to untie his ropes...

After I kill this guy, I'm gonna take every last bit of this town's money!

Damn, he really pisses me off! I swear I'm gonna kill 'im!

Get out of my sight!

What did you do to make him so mad at you?!

He attacked me first! I just said his mustache looked weird.

You said it again!

Punish him!

You're in the way. Move.

You're the one who came at me first!

Amazing! He was this strong all along?!

Damn it...

What the-?!

You little runt! Don't get too cocky!

You cowards!
