One Piece (ワンピース)

My darkness will swallow the world,

just you wait and see!

You think I'll lose to you?

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

Roger's treasure belongs to me!

All pirates searching for the treasure One Piece

must brave the second half of the Grand Line.

These wild and dangerous seas are known as the New World.

Gold Roger and his crew were the only men to ever

chart these waters and learn all the secrets they held.

For the rest of the pirates in the world,

this has proven to be the end of the road.

A graveyard of dreams.

Now, Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body became rubber

after eating the Gum Gum Fruit,

sets sail into the New World with his faithful crew.

I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!

At long last, the Straw Hat Pirates

have reached the waters of the New World,

ruled by the Four Emperors.

Forming an alliance with the Warlord, Law,

the Straw Hats capture the evil scientist, Caesar,

and head to Dressrosa for the next phase of their plan.

Their objective is to shut down a man-made Devil Fruit factory.

But their travels suffered a slight delay

when they fought and defeated Breed,

who was hoping to get hold of Caesar himself.

Look, there's a story about Doflamingo.

It says here... he resigned!

"Startling! The Big News Shakes Up the New World!"

Why would he quit the Seven Warlords?

This is just insane! What's going on here?

Beats me! I'm lost, too!

But his kingdom! This can't be good!

And so, the tiny ripples all over the world

became a tidal wave before anyone noticed.

This isn't funny!

We got an arms deal with the Don Quixote family!

What happens now?

I've been trying to call the bastards all day,

but they won't pick up the damned snail!

What should we do?

Wha--? What the hell can we do?

We're gonna die! That's what!

Get a loada this!

Those rookies we ran into back on Sabaody formed an alliance!

Aw, man. Whatever it is, it can't be good!

Doflamingo resigned but it doesn't say why!

There's gotta be a catch!

Hurry! Contact everyone we know!

We're gonna get to the bottom of this, damn it!

How did they find out about our alliance so quick?

Who's the reporter?

"Absa"? Never heard of him!

Some freelancer.

He's gotten a ton of scoops lately.

I'm not worried about our alliance.

It's the other news that troubles me.

Straw Hat and Trafalgar.

Bastards. So you're lookin' to take on

one of the Emperors, same as us, huh?

I wonder, which one're you aiming for?

Click.

It's me. I resigned. Happy?

He picked up!

Finally!

Great! Now what?

Mingo? Whoa!

Shh!

Just leave this to Law!

Hello? This is Monkey D. Luffy here!

And I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!

Damn it! You do this every time!

Hey! Mingo!

Hm?

Are you Caesar's boss?

'Cause that guy really sucks, you know!

Sucks! He did bad stuff to kids!

We'll give him back, since that's what we promised,

but if he does that again,

we'll kick his ass twice as hard, and yours, too!

I have a question for you.

After your brother Ace died,

your crew disappeared for two years.

What were you doing all that time?

That's a secret! Or I'm keeping it secret from you, at least!

I've actually been quite eager to see you.

I have something that will interest you.

Something you'll want very badly.

I'm quite certain.

Something I want?

Huh? Like what? I'm confused.

Like meat?

Some kind of amazing super meat like I've never tasted before?

Cut it out! He's toying with you, idiot!

What if it's a whole bunch of meat? A whole feast!

Luffy! Pull yourself together!

Don't give him an inch! Even if it is meat!

A hundred pieces of meat, 200 pieces of meat...

No meat! There is no meat!

Cut the crap. We're handing over Caesar to you.

That was the deal. No more, no less.

Well, that's for your own good as much as mine.

We both know what will happen if you try to run away with him.

That won't be a happy ending for anyone.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'd like to speak to my business partner a moment.

I want to confirm he's nice and safe.

Oh, Joker, I'm so very sorry!

You resigned from the Warlords all because of me!

He's fine. See?

Yeah, full of energy.

We'll meet eight hours from now.

On an island north of Dressrosa.

At the beach on the southeast side of Green Bit.

We'll leave Caesar waiting for you there

at three in the afternoon. Pick him up

and this unpleasant business will finally be over with.

Don't say that.

I wish we could sit down for a drink. Such a shame.

Hang up already!

Click.

I'm sorry, guys.

He almost had me wrapped up in his meat spell.

Yeah? Ya think?

Hey, wait!

We didn't specify how many crewmates he can bring.

I don't get it.

Come on. Just think.

Doflamingo's a bigshot. If he brings a whole army

to the meeting point, then we're screwed, right?

No!

No. It's fine. Don't worry.

Handing over Caesar is just a distraction.

If it draws a ton of his resources,

that might even benefit us.

So you mean...

If more people come to the tradeoff,

then less people will be guarding the SMILE factory?

Yeah. The question is... can we find the place?

You're kidding.

Hey, man, no prob.

We're not looking for a needle in a haystack,

we're looking for a factory.

It's guaranteed to be big.

Once we get there, we'll find it super easy!

My lasers will take care of the rest!

Lasers!

Unfortunately, I have intel on everything

but the factory.

No surprise, really.

Sounds like it's their biggest asset.

We might need to think outside the box.

Sir Law!

You said that we-we're going to Greenbit,

but not the island of Dressrosa itself?

That's most unfortunate!

We're still docking the ship at Dressrosa. Just calm down.

You have my gratitude. What a relief!

A relief indeed!

Traffy, have you been to this Dressna place before?

What was it like?

"Dress-nana"?

Dressrosa! I've never been there.

Sorry. Doflamingo owns the place.

No problem! It's fun!

We'll make things up as we go!

Heh! Just like I always do!

I bet Mingo Kingdom's gonna be crazy!

After that, we should swing by Wano, too!

Make things up?

If we're going in there blind, we have to have a plan!

Sanji, I'm hungry! What's on the menu?

Sandwiches.

Didn't you say something about meat?

I want a cotton candy sandwich!

I'm fine with just a cup of tea.

Cola for me.

And milk for me.

You're missing out. Sanji's sandwiches are the best.

What is this witch that you speak of?

Sorry, but I don't like bread!

Alas, I cannot divulge

why we were being pursued.

However, I will say that our original destination

was a place called "Zou."

Zou?

Huh? You know it, Sir Law?

That's a rather convenient coincidence.

After I hand off Caesar, and destroy the SMILE factory,

like we planned,

Zou was gonna be the next stop on my trip.

Is that so? Truly?

Yeah. My crew's there. They've been waiting.

Rosa!

I-If so, would it be possible to accompany you there

after our current mission?

Me, too! We'll all go to Wano! That'll be cool!

Enough!

Thank you! Thank you!
