[Insert text: The New World is a stormy place!!]
StrawHats: Whooooaaaaa~~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: Look! That island over there just erupted!!!
Nami: Listen to me, Luffy, all right?!!! / Not one of our three Log Pose needles is pointing to that island!! // It's not normal even by the New World's standards!!
Brook: Farewell, Laboon's family!! Take care~~~~~!!
Luffy: I don't care how weird it is, that's where we're going!! / It's right there, isn't it?!! Who cares where the needles are pointing!!
Nami: Not a chance! We're not going anywhere near it!!

3
Nami: The ocean is on fire, for heaven's sake!!
Someone: That doesn't make any sense!!
Sanji: Hey, Luffy, I have a piece of bad news for you. / It's about that gigantic fish we caught. // Aside from this piece I managed to carve out, the whole thing is burned to a crisp.
Luffy: Aaaaaghhh!!
Usopp: The fish got burned up by the sea~~~~?!! // Our ship is going to be next!!!
Franky: No way!! The Sunny is made of sterner stuff than that!!
Nami: I don't care how strong the Sunny is, this sea is still ridiculous!! / Look at those fish skeletons!! They're all just bones!!
Brook: Hm? You called?

4
DenDenMushi: Puohoooooooohhhh~~! Puohohooooooooohhh~~! // Puohohohoooooohhhhhh~~~~!!
Luffy: What's going on?! The Den-Den Mushi just started crying!!
DenDenMushi: Puohohohoooooooohhh~~~~!
Luffy: What's wrong, little guy? Your stomach hurt or something?!
Sanji: Don't be stupid - That's a distress signal!! Somebody's calling out for help!!
Luffy: Then...if I pick it up, can we talk to them?
Robin: Hold on, Luffy!! / The chances of that distress signal being genuine are under 50%! // It's more likely to be a trap set by the Marines. / If we answer the call and they're listening in, they'll know that we're in the area!!
Usopp: That's our Robin! You heard her, Luffy! We have to think carefully before...

5
Luffy: Hello?! This is Luffy!! / I'm going to be the Pirate King!!!
Usopp: DID YOU REALLY NEED TO SAY THAT?!!!
DenDenMushi: Help! Please! Anyone~~~~~!!!
Luffy: !
DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... Is that you, Boss...?!!
Luffy: No, I'm not your boss. Did you say it's cold?!
DenDenMushi: They're cutting us down one after another... It's no use...!! // The samurai are gonna kill us all~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! *pant*...
Luffy: Hey!! Who are you?! What's your name?! / Where are you right now?!!
DenDenMushi: Whoever you are, you have to help us, please...! We're at a place called... // Punk Hazard!!!

6
DenDenMushi: AAAAAARGHHH~~~~!!! / GHH-! // *SWOOSH*!!
Chopper: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh~~~!!! They got him too~~~~!!!
Luffy: ......! I smell an incident afoot!
Usopp: Of course it's an incident, you idiot!!! That guy just got murdered!!!
Robin: We don't know that. It could all have been an act to lure us in.
Brook: Such a calm beauty~~~~~~~~~~~!♪ / C'mon!
Zoro: I heard the word "samurai"... Brook, isn't that...?
Brook: Indeed. "Samurai" is the name given to the swordsmen of the Wano Country. // The Wano Country is a sealed-off nation whose people do not take kindly to outsiders... / They are not even a part of the World Government. / They say the country's swordsmen, the samurai, are so terrifyingly strong... / ...that even the Marines dare not venture too close.

7
Usopp: You've gotta be kidding me......!!!
Franky: But that guy didn't say anything about the Wano Country. / He said he was at "Punk Hazard"! / You think that's the flaming island?!
Robin: Assuming he was using a Baby Den-Den Mushi, that would be the only place... / ...from which communications would be likely to reach.
Luffy: All right!! Let's go and save him then!!!
Nami: Nooooooo~~~~~~~!!!
Usopp: Surely it's too late for that!
Chopper: Those samurai sound scary~~~~~~~~~!!!
Brook: I quite agree~~!!
BlackDenDenMushi: Zzzzt... / Punk Hazard! / ...Aaaaaarghhh~~~~!!! / Ghh-! / Zzzzt...
Tashigi: Smoker-san! Was that...?!
Smoker: Ugh... What the hell kind of route are those punks taking...?
[Box: Black Den-Den Mushi (Intercepting Communications)]

8
Smoker: We ought to have a one-in-three chance... // ...under ordinary circumstances...
[Box: Marine Vice-Admiral at "G-5", the Fifth Marine Branch Station in the Grand Line / Smoker the White Hunter]
Pirate: So hot!! It burns!! Help me!!
Marines: Ahahahah!!
Tashigi: That's quite enough of that!!! // Stop bullying the pirate!!
Smoker: The three islands that can be reached by Log Pose from Fishman Island are Risky Red Island, Raijin Island and Mistria Island. // I came here on the assumption that Straw Hat would choose the path to Raijin Island, where the magnetic field is most unstable... // But to think he would follow... / ...an entirely different route from those three...

9
Tashigi: But, Smoker-san!! / Ever since the accident four years ago... // ...Punk Hazard has been a sealed-off island, completely devoid of human life!! / Why would there be someone there now?!
Smoker: ...It's strange, all right. I don't see how any kind of living thing... / ...could survive on that island in its current state... // But it's the only lead we've got. // Let's get moving, men!!
Marines: Whaaaaaat~~?! But, Vice-Admiral Smoker!! / Don't you know that island is off-limits?!
Smoker: I don't want to hear a lecture on law from you. / Just get this ship moving, you layabouts!!
Marines: Y-Yes, sir~~~~~~~!!!

10
Sanji: There you go - a deep-sea fish lunchbox!!
Luffy: Oh, man~~~~~!! I can't wait to eat it~~~!!!
Sanji: Who drew the marked straws?
Zoro: We did.
Robin: Well, this should be interesting!♡
Usopp: Somebody trade with me~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami: Milky Road!!
Luffy: Whoa~~~~~~~~~!! // That's awesome!! It's a road made of cloud!! / It's just like the stuff we saw back on the Sky Islands!!
Nami: Eheheh!♡ Hurry on across while the clouds are still stable!

11
Luffy: All right!! Here goes the scouting party~~~~~~!! We're counting on you, Mini-Merry!!! / This fish is great~~~~~!!!
Chopper: Good luck, you guys~~~~~!!
Franky: You guys have all the luck...
Sanji: We'll be able to go too later.
Brook: Yohohoho! Bon voyage!
Nami: Chin up, Usopp~~~~~!!
Usopp: Somebody take my place~~~~~~~!!! / Oww~~!! Hothothot~~!!
Luffy: Whoaaaa, we're going up!! This is fun~~~~!! / We're going right over the fiery sea!!
Usopp: These clouds had better take us safely back as well!!
ScoutingTeam: Good thing the rain died down, huh? // Perfect weather for scouting! // But it's so hot!!
Brook: Do those clouds really reach all the way to the island?
Nami: Who knows?

12
Chopper: Ahhhhhh... I'm so glad I didn't draw one of the go-with-Luffy straws... I can't stand hot places...
Nami: Well, we couldn't exactly let him go alone. / Once he sees there's nothing there, he'll come straight back!
Sanji: Right!! Wait right there, Nami-san, and I'll whip up a nice cold deepsea-fish dessert!♡
Franky/Brook: Yeahhhh~~!!
Luffy: Look, see?! That has to be an entrance!!
Usopp: I'm telling you, maybe there were people here years and years ago... / But nobody could possibly live here now!! / That Den-Den Mushi must've been transmitting from some far-off island, it's the only explanation! Right, Robin?!
Robin: It doesn't look like much, but this is surprisingly delicious!♡
Usopp: What are you all eating your lunch already for?!!
Zoro: Aren't you gonna eat yours?
Usopp: I don't feel like eating right now!! / Ahhhh... I can feel my old disease from two years ago resurfacing... / Listen, you guys, I have this condition called "I-Can't-Go-Onto-That-Island Disease"!!!
Luffy: We know.

13
[Box: Punk Hazard Island / Entrance]
Usopp: Let's pull the Merry up onto the island...
Robin: Well, there's no mistaking it... / The name certainly matches.
Luffy: ...............!!!
Zoro: I guess that distress signal really did come from somewhere in here...
Usopp: ......... / It looks like this island is sealed off!! / Ah!! Look at this, Luffy!! // See?! It's the mark of the World Government... // ...and the Marine emblem!!! // In other words, even if there was someone in here, they must've been Marines!! / No point helping them!! Let's go back!!

14
Usopp: I HOPE YOU REALISE YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW~~~~!! // Oh, right... We're pirates...
Zoro: This whole place really is ablaze...!!
Usopp: Well, don't say I didn't warn you!! You're picking a fight with the World Government here!! / Oh, wait... We already did that...
Robin: It doesn't seem like the island is on fire like this naturally... Was there some kind of disaster? Or an accident?
Luffy: Man, it's hot......!! Let's see...

15
Robin: These don't look like civilian houses... I'm guessing that this place... // ...used to be some kind of Government facility...
Zoro: So the question is, why was the place sealed off? / Because of whatever happened to cause this fire? // Or because it was a dangerous place to begin with?
Robin: Don't forget, for some reason the island can't be reached by Log Pose. / It certainly is suspicious.
Luffy: He~~~~~~y!!! Den-Den Mushi guy, are you here~~~~~~?!!! // We've come to save you~~~~~~~!!!

16
Luffy: Where are you, samurai~~~?!! // Come and get us~~!!!
Usopp: Don't call for those crazy murderers!!
Zoro: Feeling hungry now, eh?
Usopp: Shut up!! I eat when I'm stressed!! // Come to think of it, there's still something bothering me... / That voice on the Den-Den Mushi...!! It kept saying...
Flashback!DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... // Is that you, Boss?!
Usopp: ...that it was cold!!
Luffy: Good point... It's boiling on this island... / Why would he be cold...?!! / ......... // Maybe he's an idiot.
Usopp: What kind of logic is that?!!!
Robin: A cold place on this blazing-hot island...? // Or perhaps his predicament was so terrifying, it chilled him to the bone...

17
Franky: Something wrong, Nami...?
Nami: ...Yeah... // It's the clouds... // There's something...strange about the sky above this island. / On the far side, it looks almost like an arctic climate...
Franky: Don't be ridiculous!!
Luffy: Whoa!! A giant?!
Usopp: Even giants aren't this big!
StrawHats: ?!!
Something: RRRGGHHHHHH...!!!
Usopp: Huh?! // ......!! Wha...?!! // Whaaaaaaaa~~~~?!!
Luffy: Huh? ...?!! // Do these things... actually exist?!
Zoro: No... They're the stuff of legend!! // They can't possibly be real!!
Robin: But how could this creature... // ...possibly be anything else...?!!

18-19
StrawHats: A DRAGON?!!
[Box: Resident of Punk Hazard / DRAGON]
Dragon: Who goes there...?
Luffy: Huh?!!

[Insert text: The journey through the depths continues!!]
[Box: Leaving Fishman Island behind...]
Someone: Smooth sailing, not a hitch... // It's kind of unsettling.
[Box: The crew have finally set sail for the latter half of the Grand Line... // The New World awaits them above.]
Nami: How do you like my Shower Tempo? / You want to come try it out too?
Chopper: No, I'm fine! I washed the day before yesterday! // That cloud looks so fluffy and delicious, though... I bet it's sugary-sweet!
Brook: (Something sweet and delicious in the bathroom, you say...?)
Sanji: (Sweet and delicious is right on the mark~~~~!♡)
Nami: ! // Chopper, stay away from the cloud, okay?
Chopper: ?
Brook/Sanji: Gyaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Chopper: I think I'd better not eat it after all!!

3
Nami: Whew~~~~~~~! // That feels good!♡ // It's been two years since I last took a bath on the Sunny! // And it's an amazing feeling to enjoy a hot bath while gazing out at the sea depths, black as the night sky!♡
Chopper: D'you think they'll be all right up on deck... // ...without a navigator...?
Nami: I'll be done by the time we reach the upward current, so it'll be fine. / If any sea monsters show up, the others can handle those, right?
Luffy: Hurry up, Usopp~~~~~!!
Usopp: Have a little patience! // We're dealing with super-giant fish here! We won't get anywhere with a normal rope!!

4
Robin: My, you all seem to be having fun.
Luffy: Shishishi!! I didn't think of it on the way to Fishman Island because I was too excited about getting there... // ...but this time we've gotta catch us some deep-water fish! / Then Sanji can cook 'em up for us when we get to the surface!
Franky: I just hope they go well with cola!
Zoro: It's a great idea. Once we get to the New World... / ...we can celebrate with a feast and a good drink! // How about that one? We could fry it up... // ...and eat it salted.
Luffy: That one looks like it would be tasty with mayonnaise!
Usopp: I'd like to try that one broiled in soy sauce!
Luffy: Well, it doesn't really matter which one we get... / Sanji can make anything taste delicious!!! // Gomu Gomu no~~~~~~

5
Luffy: JET PISTOL!!!
Usopp: He went for the mayonnaise one anyway!! // Is it not a bit too big, though?!
Luffy: Hurry up, hurry up!! You gotta reel it in!!
Usopp: Capture Star!! // All right!!
Luffy: We did it!! We caught a deep-water fish!!
Usopp: ...Are you sure it's really a fish, though? / Looks kind of like an old guy to me.
Luffy: An old guy?! // Ah...

6
Usopp: Whoooooaaaahh~~~!!! // Another one took the bait!!! // ! // Eh?! // Aaaaaaghhh~~~~~~~~~!!! Not an even bigger one!!! // That does it, I give!!! This thing's gonna pull the ship right over!!! // What is this, some kind of deep-sea Russian doll?!!!
Chopper: The ship's shaking about, and they sure are being noisy up on deck...!!
Nami: Maybe I shouldn't have left them on their own after all...
Zoro: Ittouryuu...

7
Zoro: 360-Pondo Hou!!!
Sanji: A deep-sea fish to cook, eh? That sounds like a challenge!!
Usopp: What happened to you...?
Luffy: Not just one deep-sea fish to cook!! / There are two more inside it!!
Usopp: So, uh... is the ship still on course? / I'm getting something of a...sinking feeling...
Luffy: That's just your imagination! // Ooh! What's that?! A snake?!

8
Luffy: A giant sea snake?!
Usopp: Aaghhhh!!
Luffy: Let's take a closer look!! // We can eat that as well!!
Usopp: The ship can't pull a thing that size!!
Robin: ......Hold on... / Could it possibly be...?
Luffy: Hm?
Robin: The White Strom!!! // They say it appears suddenly and without warning, like a writhing dragon in the depths of the ocean... / It's a gigantic white whirlpool!!
Luffy: A whirlpool underwater?!
Nami: Oh, no!! Is that... / ...the White Strom?!!

9
Robin: The rumours say ships that encounter the White Strom... / ...are discovered days later, in waters impossibly far removed from their original location... and with no crew on board.
Usopp: You mean the whole crew are killed!!! / We gotta get outta here!!
Luffy: The ship appears in a far-away ocean?! // You mean it's like... a Warp Zone?!
Usopp: I DON'T THINK SO!!!
Nami: Hurry, everyone!! We have to get away from that vortex!!
Usopp: And there's our navigator!! You heard her, let's get outta here!!
Nami: Aaaaghhh!! What the heck is that fish?!!
Luffy: Oh, that. We caught it!
Nami: What are you playing at?!!! We can't sail the ship with a thing that size attached to it!! // Look, the fish is getting caught up in the cortex!!
Luffy: Oh, no!! We've gotta get it back!!
Nami: No!! We've got to cut it loose!!!

10
Luffy/Zoro/Sanji/Usopp: Eeeeeehhhhhh~~~~~~~~?!!!
Nami: Which is more important, the fish or your lives?!! / Honestly, I leave you alone for ten minutes and this is the situation you manage to get us in?!!! // Franky!! We need a Coup de Burst!!
Franky: No... It's too late for that!!
Nami: Ah...
Franky: See?
Luffy: Whoaa!! This is awesome~~~~!!
Nami: Everyone hang on to something~~~~~~~~~~!!!

11
StrawHats: Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhhhhh.........! // ?! // Aaaghhh~~!! // We've stopped?!!
Luffy: Did we bump into somethi...
Brook: Ehh?!!

12-13
StrawHats: ...............!! // Whoooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! // !!!
Luffy: LABOON~~~~~!!!
Brook: ...............!!
Flashback!Pirates: Laboon! / We'll travel right round the world and come straight back here!!!
Flashback!Laboon: Pouuuuuuu......!
Brook: Laboon!!! You've grown so much...!!
Usopp: Don't be stupid!! Laboon's back in the first half of the Grand Line! / He couldn't even make it through the hold in the Red Line with a body that size!

14
Robin: It's like a miracle... To run into a group of Island Whales out of the blue...!!
Zoro: Quite a few of 'em have got wounds on their heads just like Laboon did.
Luffy: Yeah, they look just the same...!! / I can't believe it!! Are they really not Laboon?!
Brook: Going to deliver~~~~♪ Binks' sake~~~~~~~!♪ / Laboon~~~~~!! Wait!! Listen, please!! It's me, Brook!!!
Usopp: Get a grip, would you?!!! You've got the wrong whale!!!
Brook: Laboo~~~~~~n!!!
Sanji: Anyway, should we really be just enjoying the view?!!! We may be out of the whirlpool, but we're not out of danger yet!! / First, we oughtta make sure we didn't lose anyone back in that crazy vortex!! I'll take a roll call!! / Nami-san!!
Nami: Here!
Sanji: Robin-chan!
Robin: I'm still here.
Sanji: All right!! Then let's get this ship moving!! / It won't last five seconds if one of these whales bumps into it!!!
Chopper: Sanji, call our names too~~~!!
Usopp: Sanji-kun, allow me to confirm that the other six members of our crew are all present and accounted for!!
Sanji: Nami-san, we await your orders!!!
Nami: There's no need to go anywhere!!
Sanji: You heard the lady!! We don't need to do a thing, you layabouts!! // Now get admiring those whales!!
Usopp: What's with that attitude?!!

15
Nami: A group of whales this large will cause a powerful current as it moves!! / Trying to fight the flow would only put us in more danger!! // So we raise the mainsail and point the ship in the same direction the whales are moving!!!
StrawHats: Ahhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Whales: Buoooohhhhh!!
Brook: Of course... This must be Laboon's home...!! // Is there anyone here related to Laboon...?!
Robin: Be careful, Brook - !!
Brook: If there is anyone here looking for a young whale who was separated from his family fifty years ago...
Whale: ......
Brook: ...Then have no fear!! Your child is safe and sound... // ...living a healthy life on the other side of the ocean!!! I hear he has grown to a magnificent size!! / So please, do not worry!!
Usopp: Aaahhhhh...!
Nami: Ride the current!!
Luffy: Right!

16
Brook: Yohohoho~~~~♪ Yo~~~~hoho~~~ho~~~~~~!♪ // Yohohoho~~~~♪ Yo~~~~hoho~~~ho~~~~~~!♪ // Going to deliver~~~~♪ // Binks' sake~~~~~~~!♪ // Following the sea breeze~~♪ // Riding on the waves~~~~~~!♪ // Far across the salty deeps, the merry evening sun~~~♪ // Painting circles in the sky~~♪ / A jolly island song~~~~♪
Whale: .........

17
StrawHats: Ahh...! // ?!
Robin: What...?!
Luffy: Hey!! Are you gonna carry us?!
Whale: Buohhhhh...!
Nami: If they want to take us for a ride, let's take them up on it! / It looks like they're getting on an upward current.
[Text: Going to deliver Binks' sake / Today, and tomorrow, our dreams through the night♪ // Waving our goodbyes, we'll never meet again / But don't look so down; for at night the moon will rise♪ // Never-ending, ever-wand'ring... / Our funny trav'ling tale...♪]
Luffy: Here comes the surface!!

18-19
Whales: BUOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!
StrawHats: WE'RE HERE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! // IT'S THE NEW WORLD~~~~~~~~!!!
Usopp: The weather's terrible~~~~~~~!!!
Brook: Yohoho!! What a stormy sky!!
Robin: Mighty gales in the air!
Franky: The waves are rough and wild!!
Nami: Our compass spinning wildly!!
Chopper: I can see red waters ahead!!

[Box: Fishman Island, Coral Hill, the Mermaid Cafe]
Caimie: Madame Shirley! // Luffy-chin and his friends are saying they're going to leave the island soon.
Shirley: I see. You should go and see them off.
Caimie: Will do~!
Mermaids: Madame~~~~~!♡ Can we go too~~~~~?!
Shirley: Dear me... I suppose we'll have to close the Cafe for a little while... // With Hody out of the way, we should be getting plenty of customers again soon enough. / I'll be needing you all to help make the cafe an enjoyable place to be!
Mermaid: Leave it to us, Madame!!
Caimie: ! // Ah...

3
Shirley: Oh, my crystal ball? / Don't worry. I really am done with all that now... / No more fortune-telling for me.
Caimie: .........
Shirley: Straw Hat Luffy causing the destruction of Fishman Island... / That's one future I would rather not have seen at all. // If my foretelling was wrong, just this once... / ...then nothing would make me happier...
Caimie: (Madame Shirley's has never made a prophecy that didn't come true, so she must be more frightened than any of us... She can't predict when it might happen; it could be in a year's time, or longer... There's no way to say for sure that her vision was wrong...) // But Madame... I know Luffy-chin would never do a thing like -
Shirley: Caimie...
Caimie: ?!
Shirley: You must forgive me for doubting your friend... / I understand now... We can trust in him, yes? // In the Straw Hat boy...
Caimie: ......!! ......That's right...!!!

4
Shirahoshi: Uwaaaaahhhhh~~~~!! Are you really all going to leave the island already, Luffy-sama?! // We've only just properly made friends... Can't you stay for another day, at least...? Or another week...? / No, another year...!!
Luffy: You really do end up crying every time I see you...
Shirahoshi: I... I'm very sorry! I'll stop being such a crybaby, I really will! *sniff*
Sanji: Ahhhhh... The Mermaid Princess of Fishman Island, who has always been in my dreams... / To think that I would live to see her shed tears at our departure...!! Maybe we really should stay here for another year~~~~~!!!
Brook: I must say I agree, yohoho~!! I have decided to base my new single on the Fishman Island life!! / A-one, two, three, four!!♪ Oh, you wake up bright and early and say: "Good Mor-ningyo~~~!"♪
[TN: "Ningyo" means "mermaid". I tried to think of a decent English pun to replace it, but I drew a total blank, sorry.]
Zoro: You stay here as long as you like, Nosebleed-kun. We won't miss you.
Sanji: WHO ARE YOU CALLING "NOSEBLEED-KUN", MARIMO-HEAD?!!!

5
Sanji: You'd better be careful at mealtimes in future! / I'll teach you what happens if you make an enemy of the ship's cook!!
Zoro: Bring it on!! I'll digest anything from poison to razor blades!!
Brook: [aside]In the cafe at dinnertime, it's... // "Good Eve-ningyo~~~~!"♪[/aside]
RightMinister: Your Majesty, I really think we ought to tell them...!! / They can't just leave without knowing that there was a bomb concealed in the Tamatebako that Luffy sent as a gift to Big Mam...
Neptune: I know, I know... But take a look over there...
Usopp: It's all over... We've made an enemy of a Yonkou...!!! / We're not going to last a day in the New World now...!!!
Chopper: Maybe Big Mam will forgive us if we promise to give her all the treasure we ever find...
RightMinister/Neptune: (How can we possibly break the news to them that they've already sent Big Mam a bomb in disguise...?)
Neptune: (This bomb... It's been hidden in that box for ten years, yes? / Is it not possible that it could fail to go off?)
RightMinister: (That's the right attitude, Your Majesty! Positive thinking! / It's true, the Ryuuguu Palace is an awfully humid place! The bomb could have been rendered useless! / And at any rate, there's no guarantee that Big Mam will open the box herself!! / Let's just hope for the best!!)
Robin: What are you two muttering suspiciously about?

6
Nami: Huh?! // What's this?!
LeftMinister: This is a Log Pose for use in the New World. Please, take it as our gift to you. / Trust me, you don't want to try voyaging with only a single needle to guide you...!
Nami: There are three separate needles...! / But why?
LeftMinister: Take a look at the Log Pose you have been using in your journey along the first half of the Grand Line.
Nami: ?
Luffy: Oh, what's this? A new Log Pose~~~~? / Wow, it looks pretty cool~~~!!
Nami: Ah...... // I thought the Log had already settled... / But it still seems to be moving a little......!!
LeftMinister: Oh, it's settled all right. All Logs from here on out will settle within half a day.

7
LeftMinister: When travelling in the Grand Line, you find your way by allowing your Log Pose to attenuate to the magnetic field of the next island, yes? / That is how you have proceeded up to this point. But in the seas ahead, things are a little different... // You are of course aware of how unstable the ocean currents and climate can be, throughout the Grand Line. Well, in the New World... / ...even the magnetic fields cannot always be trusted to guide you true!!
Nami: Huh?!
LeftMinister: In some cases, the next island's magnetic field may even vanish entirely whilst you are out in the open water.
Nami: What~~~~?! But then we'd never be able to reach our destination!!
LeftMinister: If you rely on a single needle, then such an incident can be disastrous. // But what about if you have three different needles?
Nami: ! // One of the needles is moving shakily, like on our Log Pose... // But the other two seem to be completely stable......!!

8
LeftMinister: Each of the three Needles on this Log Pose... / ...will attenuate to the magnetic field of a different island in the waters ahead. // In other words, you will need to choose between three different possible courses. / Which course to follow is for your instincts to decide. But the decision can mean the difference between life and death! // Particularly skilled navigators are able to use the slight movements of the individual needles... / ...to deduce which course is the safest to follow. // As a very basic and general rule, the more unstable the movement of the needle, the more dangerous that path is likely to be...!! / After all, an unstable needle suggests that something is happening on that island to disrupt the very magnetic field around it...!!!
Nami: Ehhhhh~~~?! That doesn't sound good!! / We'd be better off not knowing at all!!
LeftMinister: But why? If you do not have the foreknowledge to seek the safest route, you may find yourself in gravest...
Usopp: You can tell which route is most dangerous~~?! Smash that Log Pose!! Smash it right now!!!
Luffy: Let me see...!
Usopp/Nami: !!! // Ahh...!

9
Luffy: I like the look of that island in the middle with the really shaky needle! // We should go there~~~~~~!!!
Nami: Nooooooooooo~~~~~~~!!!
Usopp: He was listening~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami: This has got nothing to do with you, Luffy!!! I'm the one who decides where we're going to go!!
Luffy: Don't be stupid!! I'm the Captain!!!
Usopp/Chopper: We're begging you, Captain! Listen to what your navigator says~~~~~~~!!!
Sanji: Nami-san's so cute when she's terrified~~~~!♡
Brook: I think I have my B-side!! I call it "Requiem For Us"!♪
Franky: All right, you guys!! We're all ready to set sail!! / I'm all clear on how to take us up!! Are we going?!
Luffy: Let's go~~~~!!!

10
Hachi: Nyuuuu~~~! I'm going to help out with the repairs at the factory. Will you be okay without a guide?
Luffy: We'll be fine! We managed to have fun adventures on our way here!
Usopp: That's the spirit!! Who needs a guide?!! A true man follows his own path into the jaws of hell!!!

Sanji: Shirahoshi-cha~~~~~~~n!♡
Shirahoshi: *pant*... *pant*... / When that time comes... I promise I will no longer be a crybaby...!! // I hope you will talk me out for a wonderful walk again......!!
Luffy: For a walk~~~? // What, you want to visit your mum's grave again?
Shirahoshi: ...This time, I would rather go somewhere even further away. Above the waves... / I would like to see a real forest!
Luffy: I see~~~! I guess you've never been out of the sea before, huh~~~? All right, sounds good! // Next time we meet, I'll take you to see one!
Shirahoshi: Do you promise?!
Luffy: !

14
Luffy: Sure! Leave it to me!! // It's a promise!!
Nami: Luffy, are you sure you should be making promises like that without consulting us?
Brook: Luffy-san!! A promise is something to be honoured to the grave and beyond!
Nami: All right then, Shirahoshi... I'll promise you as well!
Sanji: Me too~~~!♡
Chopper: Then I'll promise too!
Brook: I rather think this should be... // ...quite enough fingers, don't you~~?!
Luffy: Shishishi! And you remember not to cry, yeah?
Shirahoshi: ......Of course!!

15
Shirahoshi: ..................
Neptune: Do not forget this debt we owe.
Princes: But of course!!!
Kid: Hey, Dad, Dad!! Can you buy me a straw hat~~~?! / We're gonna play at being heroes!!
Father: They only sell straw hats up on the surface, you know?!
Kid: Then buy me one from there!!
Father: Don't be ridiculous!! The surface is full of terrifying humans who hate all fishmen...
Kid: Huh?
Father: I mean... Well. I suppose they're not all that bad... Hmmm. // There are strong and heroic guys like that Straw Hat up there as well... / Ah, Boss Jimbei! Perfect timing!!
Jimbei: Yes, yes, I heard. I'll see if I can't find something for you from a merchant ship.
Kid: Really, Boss~~~?!
Jimbei: Well, you want yourself a "hero hat", don't you? Hahahah!

16
Sanji: Ahhhhh... That place really was like a mermaid heaven...♡
Nami: Now, I hope everyone's feeling ready for this!! Once we reach the surface, there's going to be no room for relaxing!! // We're heading for a dark and dangerous sea!!
Usopp: What's that, Franky?
Franky: They're called "Kuuigos Wood". They have exceptionally powerful buoyancy, so they'll lift the ship towards the surface. // We can control our speed by adjusting how many of them we extend out into the ocean.
Zoro: ......? What's up, Luffy?
Luffy: ......... // Once we reach the surface... // We'll be in the same sea as Shanks!!!
Flashback!Shanks: Here...
Luffy: I can't wait to meet him...

17
Flashback!Shanks: I'll leave this hat with you. // It's a precious possession of mine. // Make sure you come and give it back to me someday... // ...when you've become a great pirate!
Flashback!Ace: You'll pull it off for sure...!! You're my brother, after all...!!!

[Insert text: Neptune and Jimbei meet in the Palace...]
Neptune: So let me ask you, Jimbei... // How are the Sun Pirates getting on... / ...as part of Big Mam's fleet?
Jimbei: Whilst I cannot claim that she is always the most reasonable person to work with... She lets us have our freedoms.
Neptune: I would never have expected a man of your calibre to serve under another master after Fisher Tiger. / Does it not trouble you?
Jimbei: Not at all. I have no grand aspirations to absolute leadership. / In the New World, affiliating oneself with one of the four Yonkou... / ...is simply the most sensible way to ensure the safety of one's comrades.
Neptune: Truly? I cannot help but think you do it for Fishman Island's sake... / It was, after all, thanks to your connections that our island was able to obtain the protection of Big Mam's name... // ...and thus remain safe even after Whitebeard's demise.

3
Jimbei: A coincidence, nothing more. // In truth, I would prefer to remain here with my crew, that we might protect the island ourselves. / But with bounties on our heads, that is a little impractical.
Neptune: ......Hahah...
Jimbei: However, Your Majesty... / I am now planning to leave that protection behind...!!
Neptune: Oh...? // Could it be...that you mean to take Luffy-kun up on his invitation?!
Jimbei: Indeed... It is a very tempting offer. // That said, I live in a world of duty and honour. / Of bonds formed not by written contract, but by spoken vows and shared goblets. // To sever such a bond is not always a simple endeavour... / I cannot deny the possibility that it may turn Big Mam's wrath against this island.

4
Neptune: You always try to take too much responsibility upon your own shoulders. / Jimbei. // If such a situation arises, then we will seek out a solution ourselves.
Jimbei: ..................
Neptune: Why, only today this land has come into possession... / ...of a 70,000-man strong force of powerful, if rowdy, fighters from the Fishman District. // Besides which, if this island ever were to lose the protection of Big Mam's flag... / ...there is another flag I would very much like to borrow.
Jimbei: ?
Neptune: The Jolly Roger that wears a straw hat!!
Jimbei: Wahahah! I see! / Indeed, that would be a fine flag to fly...!!

5
RightMinister: Your Majesty!!
Neptune: ? // What is the matter, Minister of the Right?
RightMinister: I have just remembered something quite terrible!! It relates to the treasure that was stolen... / ...and your promise to give all of it to Luffy-kun and his friends...! // If they do succeed in recovering it, I must ask that you instruct them... / ...to return the Tamatebako alone to us!
Neptune: What nonsense is this?!! The promise has already been made!! I have no right to demand the treasure's return!!! // What?!! The box will explode if opened?!! // Why would you put explosives inside?!!!
RightMinister: Well, you see, after the incident ten years ago, when the contents of the Tamatebako were stolen... / ...I came up with this measure in order to prevent any future would-be treasure thieves from getting away unharmed...!!

6
RightMinister: The box is filled with powerful explosives... / ...which will activate as soon as the box is opened...! // As custodian of the keys to the Palace treasures and the Tamatebako, I must humbly apologise for this oversight...!!
Neptune: I see, I see... Very well, then. If Luffy-kun and his crew do succeed in recovering this treasure... // ...you must carefully explain the situation to them, and recover the Tamatebako... // Though there is always the danger that they might open it before you reach them to explain...
RightMinister: That was my concern, also...
Someone: Your Majesty! Minister of the Right! Luffy-san and his crew... / ...have just returned to the Palace!!
RightMinister: Ahhh...! Thank goodness they are unharmed! So our worries were for naught...

7
RightMinister/Neptune/Nami: You gave all the treasure... // ...to Big Mam?!!
Luffy: Well, she was going on about destroying Fishman Island just 'cause there wasn't any sweets left! Stupid, right?! / I mean, if it was meat, then okay, but over sweets?! Anyway, don't worry!! I've gone and picked a fight with her now!!!
Everyone: WITH A YONKOU?!!
Jimbei: YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH BIG MAM?!! // That...could be an issue...!!
Shirahoshi: Oh, my! You certainly are a strong man, Luffy-sama!
Usopp: THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE!!

8
Shirahoshi: Uwaaaaa~~~hh!! You're too scary, Nosepp-sama~~~~~!!
Usopp: My name's Usopp! And I'm sorry~~!
Jimbei: Of all the outrageous... I fear I may have to sever my ties to Big Mam quickly, before things become more awkward... // At any rate, see to it that your crew does nothing to provoke Big Mam further for the time being!
Usopp: Like hell we would!! She's a Yonkou!! She could wipe us out in seconds!!!
Neptune: M - Minister of the Right...!! Could this not be rather...problematic?!!
RightMinister: This is a most unexpected twist of fate...!! If the Tamatebako falls into Big Mam's hands... / ...and worse, if she were to open it herself...!! / The resulting explosion would amount to a declaration of all-out war!!!
Nami: Now, Luffy, I understand that you had to pick a fight with her under the circumstances. You are a man, after all.
Luffy: That's right!! I don't care who she is -
Nami: BUT WHY DID YOU GIVE HER ALL THE TREASURE~~~~~?!!!!
OtherStrawHats: THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM~~~?!!

Luffy: C'mon guys... Led's go to da New World...
OtherStrawHats: WE'RE TOTALLY DOOMED!!!
[Box: Near the Sweet Factory]
Caribou: Dammitall~~~~!!! I wake up and what do I find~~~?! All that treasure, gone without a trace~~~~~~~!!! / Who the hell took it~~?! I'll rip 'em to pieces, you better believe it~~~!!! // I gotta take that mountain of treasure and the Mermaid Princess' secret outta here with me~~~!! If I do, "that person" will take a shine to me for sure~~~!! // Huh~~?!! What's this crowd of people...? // And who are those two guys carrying those gigantic bags?!! // That's my treasure!!! It's gotta be!!! Who the hell do they think they are~~~~~?!! // I'll bury 'em alive!!!

10
Caribou: That treasure is mine!! I stole it!! / And I'm gonna take it back~~~~~~~~!!!
Pekoms: ...............?
Tamago: Now, who might that be...?
Pecom: I've seen that face somewhere before... grr. // There we go, found it. / He's Wet-Hair Caribou, a rookie who's made a name for himself recently. // He's got two hundred million on his head.

Tashigi: Oh, that's quite enough...!!

15
Marines: Ohhh yeah!!! That's our lovely Captain!!
Tashigi: Could you take this a little more seriously?!! // You have been properly trained in defending against cannonfire, I hope!
Marines: That's the mast you're talking to, Captain!♡ // Man, she's cute~~!♡ The radiant flower of G-5!!

16
Tashigi: Why must you always say things like that in the middle of battle?!!
[Box: Marine Captain at "G-5", the Fifth Marine Branch Station in the Grand Line / Tashigi]
Tashigi: You'll lose your lives if you're not careful!! Honestly, I can't stand G-5 sometimes... / ......!! I find it hard to believe you're Marines at all!!
Marines: Eheheh~~!♡
Tashigi: Just because I'm a woman is no reason to show such a lack of respect!!!
Smoker: Be quiet, Tashigi!! I'm conducting an interrogation here!!
Tashigi: Smoker-san...!!
Smoker: I see... You were all prisoners of the seabed pirate Hody Jones. / That explains why there haven't been any rookies passing through Fishman Island for the past month. // And it explains why all these pirate ships are suddenly crawling like cockroaches up from the depths......!!

17
Pirates: Prisoners?! I wish!! They kept us as slaves!! / But just when Hody's crew tried to stage a proper uprising...
Smoker: .........
Pirates: ...another pirate crew stepped in, defeated the lot of them, and set us all free!! / I ain't telling you who that was, though!! We owe them our lives!!! // You idiot~~~!! Just spill the beans already!!! // These aren't ordinary Marines we're dealing with!! They're from G-5!!! // I've heard stories about them using pirates as bait to fish for sharks!! / Or burning pirates as fuel on their campfires!! // They're a lawless group among the Marine ranks, who don't even take orders from Marine HQ!! / They'll kill us all if we're not careful!!!
Marines: Vice-Admiral!! Can we take care of these ones? Geheheheh...
Pirates: Aaaaghhh!! Hey - wait - stop!! // I'll talk, I'll talk!! Please don't kill me~~~!!! // It was the Straw Hat Pirates!!!

And that, mes amis, is where our problem lies. / Do you see that large mark, high upon the factory walls? // That is the flag of our boss, the great pirate Charlotte Rinrin. / It indicates that this island is a part of the territory of the Yonkou known as "Big Mam". // In other words... // Fishman Island is currently under the protection of Big Mam's name.
Luffy: She must be pretty nice, huh? I'd like to meet her! // "Big Mam", huh~~~?

Zoro: This boss of yours must be a pretty small-minded bastard! And he calls himself a Yonkou......?!
Tamago: I will have you know that our "boss" is a woman, s'il-vous-plait! // She is most certainly not a "bastard"!
Fantasy!BigMam: I just love sweet things!♡ // And I love a guy who can make them!♡
Sanji: A fickle lady... I see... Then what happens if the sweets don't get to her on time?
Tamago: Then our arrangement will be over! The warriors of the Big Mam Pirates... // ...will come to this island and destroy it once and for all!!!

15
Luffy: ?!! / You're gonna destroy Fishman Island~~~~?!! // What are you, stupid?!! You can't destroy a country over a few sweets!! / Not right after we just saved it once!!!
DenDenMushi: Brrrrrring!! Brrrrrrrrrrrring...!!
Pekoms: That'll be her now. / I sent her a report of the situation.
People: A...... A call from B-Big Mam herself...?! // *gulp*...
Tamago: Go on then, Pekoms......
Pekoms: You answer it!! I don't like getting yelled at!!
Luffy: Hello?
Pekoms/Tamago: O~~~I!!

16
Luffy: Are you Big Mam?!!
BigMam: ...............?
Pekoms/Tamago: Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it!!!
BigMam: That doesn't sound like Tamago's voice. Or Pekoms', either... / To whom am I speaking?
Luffy: I'm Monkey D Luffy!! The man who's gonna be Pirate King!!!
Pekoms/Tamago: ?!! / Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, HOLD IT~~~~~!!!
BigMam: Monkey...D............? // I see...... / You must be Garp's grandson... I remember now...
People: Straw Hat-san......!!
BigMam: The boy who caused such a ruckus during the war two years ago...
Luffy: There aren't any sweets here!!
BigMam: !!!

17
Luffy: 'Cause I ate them all!!!
BigMam: Then it's true?! There are no sweets for me?! There ought to be ten tons!!
Luffy: I ate all ten tons of 'em!!!
People: Straw Hat-san...!!! You don't have to...!!
Tamago: What are you thinking...?!!
BigMam: What a simple boy. It's not good to lie, you know... I can tell that you're trying to protect your fishman friends.
Luffy: It's true!! I ate all the sweets on the island!! // I didn't know they were meant for you!! / I was just hungry!!

18
Luffy: We've got tons of treasure with us right here!! / You can have it all!!! That should make up for the sweets!!!
BigMam: ?!
Tamago: Treasure?!
BigMam: And what am I meant to do with that?!!! I can't eat treasure!!! It's tasty sweets I want, boy!!!
Tamago: H - Hold on a moment!! Are you saying those bags are full of treasure?!
Luffy: Uh-huh.
Tamago: Mama!! This is Tamago. If you could just calm down for a moment... // If you recall, a few days ago... / ...that brat Captain Kidd went and sank two pirate ships from our fleet. / The damages we suffered cannot be taken lightly, and in truth, we need to find a large supply of cash as soon as possible. // If you could find it in your heart to forgive them this once... / ...then you would still get your sweets in a couple of weeks' time, and we could make up for all the damages we have suffered!!
BigMam: ...............!!
Tamago: Naturally, on the way back, I will procure the sweetest and most delectable sweets that I can find to tide you over!

19
BigMam: Shut your damn face, Tamago, you swine!!! How dare you even suggest such a thing?!! / What kind of worthless pirate would compromise on the treasure he desires?!!
Tamago: M-My apologies!! Pardonnez-moi!!
BigMam: Although...hahahah... I do find myself quite intrigued by this boy who defies me. / So here's what I'll do. Since you want to protect them so much, I'll do just as you wish... and change my target from Fishman Island to your little crew!!!
People: ?!!
BigMam: Monkey D Luffy...!! I won't forget your name... So come and meet me in the New World!!!
Luffy: Damn right I will!! I've got a bone to pick with you too!!
BigMam: Oh?
Luffy: I can't leave this island in the hands of someone like you. It's not safe! / So I'm gonna find you in the New World, beat you up... // ...and make Fishman Island into my own territory!!!

[Insert text: Princess Shirahoshi is Poseidon...?!]
Robin: For whatever reason, in the ancient world there existed... // ...three great weapons with power enough to destroy the world. // Three ancient weapons... / ...each bearing the name of a god. // "Pluton"... / ..."Uranus"... // ...and "Poseidon". // And one of those three weapons... is your daughter.
Neptune: I cannot deny it.

3
Robin: I can see why you would keep this a closely-guarded secret. // If the world were to find out about this, all manner of different factions... // ...would doubtless seek to obtain Princess Shirahoshi's power for themselves. / Including both pirates, and the Government...!!
Caribou: (.................. // An ancient weapon~~~~~~?! A power capable of destroying the world~~?! // Is it just me, or did I just overhear a major scoop~~~?! // Kehihihihi~~~~~~~!♡ I see, I see... That Mermaid Princess, eh...?)
Jimbei: Luffy, I do think you should pay a little more attention... / ...to the world around you...
Luffy: Really?
Jimbei: Could I speak to you somewhere more private?
Luffy: Sure! Hang on a minute... / ...I'll just go fetch some things to eat!

4
Luffy: Oh, hey! You guys are out here too?
Zoro: Zzz...
Nami: I drank a little too much!♡ I came out here to sober up.
Usopp: And I ate too much. I'm stuffed.
Chopper: Sanji's recovering from a mermaid overdose.
Sanji: Fishman Island is the best~~!!♡
Luffy: Whaaaat?!! Akainu and Aokiji had a big fight?!!
Jimbei: I knew it... That Rayleigh doesn't do things by halves. // But still... you've been so out of touch, you haven't even heard of such a major incident?!
Luffy: Uh-huh.
Chopper: Oh, oh, I know this one! I've heard about it!
Jimbei: Immediately after the war two years ago, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stepped down from his post. / This gave rise to the question of of his successor. // Sengoku himself recommended Aokiji, a man who commands great respect from his subordinates. / But amongst the upper echelons of the World Government, Akainu became the favoured candidate.

5
Jimbei: As you may know, Aokiji isn't exactly a man of action. He tends to take things as they come. / But in this instance, he objected vigorously to the prospect of Akainu becoming Fleet Admiral. // The two were fiercely opposed. // And in the end, this unprecedented conflict between two Marine Admirals... / ...culminated in an all-out battle between the two upon a certain island. // The terms were clear: the loser would forfeit all further right to object. // The victor would take absolute control of the Marine forces.
Luffy: ......!
Jimbei: The battle raged for ten whole days, and the world waited on tenterhooks for the outcome. // Though the two Admirals were almost equal in strength, one man ultimately emerged victorious.

6
Jimbei: The victor was Akainu!! // Sakazuki is the new Fleet Admiral of the Marines...!!!
Luffy: ......Akainu......!! // So did Aokiji die, then?
Jimbei: Both parties were severely wounded. // But even Akainu could not find it in himself... / ...to slaughter the one-time ally who lay helpless before him. / Aokiji staunchly refused to serve under the command of Akainu, so he left the Marines.
Luffy: Then Aokiji isn't a Marine any more...?
Jimbei: Indeed. I do not know what has become of him since. / One thing is certain - the Marines have lost a powerful asset.

7
Jimbei: But the measures the Government subsequently took to make up for that loss... / ...have granted the Marines frightful new power......!! // Listen carefully, all of you. / If nothing else, you should be aware of two great changes that have shaken the New World in these past two years. // The first is that, under Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, Marine HQ has become a more powerful force for justice than ever before. // And the other...relates to the Blackbeard Pirates.
Nami: Blackbeard... The crew we met back in Mock Town!!
Chopper: The guy who crushed my hometown!!
Jimbei: You must understand, the man was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for many years. / He was intimately familiar with the old man's territories. // After the old man's death, he was able to conquer those regions almost immediately. / A feat he accomplished using none other than the Gura Gura powers that he stole from the old man himself.

8
Jimbei: He already has the people of the world referring to him... // ...in the same breath as Red-Hair, Kaidou and Big Mam, as a member of the Yonkou...!!! // Truly, he is a despicable man...!!! // Rumour has it that his crew are actively hunting down users of Devil Fruit abilities. Though little is known of the how... / ...it seems that they possess some means of killing Devil Fruit Users and taking their abilities for themselves...!! // The Blackbeard Pirates' primary aim is to acquire the most powerful Devil Fruit abilities they can obtain. So be careful, all of you...!!
Chopper: They might come after me!!
Usopp: Uh, why would they care about the Hito Hito no Mi...?
Chopper: What was that?!!
Jimbei: Luffy-kun in particular has earned the personal attention of "Blackbeard" Teach himself... // It is imperative that... / ...LUFFY~~~!!! / ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!!!

9
Jimbei: You're supposed to be the Captain of this crew!!! You need to know the basics!!!
Sanji: It's all right, Jimbei. At least the rest of us know now.
Chopper: Hm? Isn't a "Captain" someone who doesn't listen to what anybody says?
Jimbei: Should a Captain not bear responsibility for the lives of his crew, Luffy?!!!
Luffy: Hey, have you tried these Fishman Island sweets?!! / They're so tasty~~!! The meat's great too!! // Anyway, Jimbei, no need for all the complicated stuff! I just deal with things as they come!!
Jimbei: ...You people have your work cut out with this one...
Sanji/Nami/Chopper/Usopp: You're telling us...!
Luffy: Hey, Caimie~! D'you know where Cry-hoshi is? I don't see her anywhere.
Caimie: Apparently she isn't used to drinking, so it went to her head a little. // She's retired to her room.
Luffy: Hey, Zoro.

Luffy: Sanji!

Luffy: Is there a wild beast or something in this palace...?

No need to look at me like that now, Princess~~~~!! / It ain't like I'm gonna go hurting you or anything~~~!! // With all the treasure I've found, I don't care about kidnapping mermaids to sell any more... but you're a special case~~~~!! // So if you'll ju~~~~~st go to sleep for me for a little while... yeah?!! // Looks like my brother's already brought the crew here to meet me at the port~!!

Luffy: That guy was still hanging around?
Sanji: You lucky bastard, Luffy!! If only I'd been able to kick him first...!!!

12
RightMinister: I must offer you my deepest gratitude once more!!! This could have been a terrible disaster!!! // To think that the despicable treasure thief was still lurking within the palace......!!! / Ordinarily, the castle security is so tight that not even a goldfish could enter undetected, but during the battle, the gate was left wide open...!! // Why, if you would observe - even the right-hand tower of the Ryuuguu Palace has been sliced clean apart! / Doubtless this too is the handiwork of that no-good treasure-thief...
Pappagg: No, it was this guy who sliced up the tower!! / Forget just slicing up the cage to escape, he sliced right through the whole damn room while he was at it -
Zoro: Let the thief take the blame, you stupid starfish!!
Nami: Hold on a minute, Minister of the Right-chan! What's this about a "treasure thief"?! // What~~~~?! You're telling me that guy... // ...made off with all the treasure in the castle's vaults~~~~?!!
Luffy/Zoro: I have a bad feeling about this...

13
Nami: But these are priceless royal treasures, right?! Aren't you going to go after him?!
Neptune: After we came so close to losing the lives of our precious subjects... / ...treasure doesn't seem so important any more.
Nami: Then supposing if, let's say, we happened to recover all that treasure...
Neptune: You would be free to keep it. I would be happy to know that it was in the hands of my country's saviours!
Nami: Really~~~~~~~?!♡ // What were you thinking, sending that scoundrel flying out of the Palace...?!! / Why didn't you tie him up and keep him as a prisoner?!

Hody: AAAAURGHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Ikaros: Cap'n Hojy~~~~~~~!!
Fukaboshi: What is the meaning of this...?
RightMinister: It is as I suspected... These "Energy Steroids" must have been none other than the legendary pills that were stored inside the royal Tamatebako! / In truth, the contents of the Tamatebako were stolen ten years ago in a little-known incident... // The culprit was never found, and the King decided to keep the entire incident under wraps. / But come to think of it, this happened around the same time that you left the Neptune Army, Hody!
Hody: *pant*... True enough! It was me who stole them!! / *pant* // *pant* / You worthless fools...!!

16
Neptune: The nature of the pills inside the Tamatebako has never been entirely clear, even among the Royal Family......!! / One theory claims that they grant the user the strength of a thousand men. Another claims that they simply cause him to age overnight...!! // A curious item indeed to be kept as a national treasure... / I suspect that they were placed into the custody of the Royal Family as a means of sealing them away, and protecting the people from their dangerous effects! // You should never have opened that box, Hody. // Though you thought it granted you power, that was no more than a foolish dream.
Jimbei: ..................
Hody: Silence, Neptune!! *pant*... *pant*...
Neptune: Well, they will hardly be capable of any further "revenge" in this state......
Hody: Silence, I say!! We are the chosen avengers of our kind...! / We will slaughter the humans, and you alongside them, you hear?!!!
Neptune: I find myself almost pitying them. Perhaps I will have to rethink their sentence...

17
Hody: Is that you, Fukaboshi, you filthy disgrace?!
Fukaboshi: ...I will not resent you for what you did to my mother.
Hody: ?!
Fukaboshi: So please... just be quiet. // It would not do for the children of the island to hear your tainted words.
Guard: Minister of the Left!!
LeftMinister: ?
Guard: Mr Bocoms and Baron Tamago... / ...have just arrived at the Sweet Factory...!
LeftMinister: Ah, the envoys of Big Mam...
Guard: We don't have any sweets to give to them, Minister! / The factory was ransacked by Hody's crew, of course... // ...and everyone insisted that the remaining sweets... / ...should be taken to the banquet for the Straw Hats to enjoy!
LeftMinister: ...It is hard to say whether such excuses will be sufficient... // After all, we are dealing with that monster who has been known to raze entire countries for the sake of sweets... / ...the Yonkou, "Big Mam"!!!

Robin: I must apologise... this seemed like the best opportunity to speak to you alone.

Robin: Who exactly is "Joyboy"?
Neptune: ?!!
Robin: I read the Poneglyph in the Ocean Forest. / Who is he apologising to, and for what?
Neptune: You are... able to read it...?!
Robin: I am a survivor of Ohara. / If you don't want to tell me, then I will ask no more.
Neptune: ......!! No... I will tell you what I know. // Your crew have earned my trust...

17
Neptune: The man known as "Joyboy"... / ...lived in the surface world during the Blank Century.
Robin: Eight hundred years ago at least, then...
Neptune: That passage was addressed to a Mermaid Princess who lived on this island at the time. // It is said to be an apology for breaking a promise that Joyboy made with Fishman Island...
Robin: A promise?
Neptune: The details of the promise are not clear... / But it is said that one day, an individual will appear to fulfil the promise in Joyboy's place. / This is a legend passed down along the royal line... // Trusting in that legend, I and my predecessors have protected the Noah for generations. That is our side of the promise. // It is said that once the promised day arrives, the great ship Noah will finally fulfil its purpose...!!!

18
Robin: I hear that earlier today, once the incident in the waters above the island was over... / ...the heavily-damaged Noah was carried away to the Ocean Forest. / Carried by the Sea Kings. / Do you know if this man "Joyboy" had some kind of ability to control the Sea Kings?
Neptune: No... It was not Joyboy who possessed that power. / It was the Mermaid Princess to whom he apologised.
Robin: As I suspected... Then might I presume... / ...that Princess Shirahoshi has the same power...?
Neptune: Yes... It is my belief that she fully awakened to this power for the first time today. // The fact troubles me greatly...
Robin: I can imagine. // Two years ago, on an island in the sky, I read a Poneglyph that told of the location of an ancient weapon. / It indicated that the weapon was here, on Fishman Island. // Can you tell me if that Mermaid Princess who lived in the same age as Joyboy... / ...could possibly have been known by this name?

19
Robin: In which case... // Princess Shirahoshi, who has inherited the same power... // ...should also by rights inherit this same name. // Princess Shirahoshi... // Also known as... // The ancient weapon... // "Poseidon".

Ginjou: ...When you were given that emblem, I daresay this is what they told you. // "If an Acting Shinigami is deemed to be of worth to Soul Society..." / "...then he is granted this emblem." // But listen to me, Kurosaki.

8
Ginjou: That's a stinking lie.
Ichigo: !
Ishida: (...I'd anticipated that much. // A large organisation doesn't make decisions about whether an individual is "of worth" to them or not so lightly. // And most telling of all, if that emblem is only granted to Acting Shinigami who are "of worth" to Soul Society... // ...then why didn't they say a word to Kurosaki... // ...about what happens to Acting Shinigami who aren't granted that distinction?)
Ginjou: To be more precise...

9
Ginjou: It doesn't make any difference whether you're "of worth" to Soul Society or not. // Whether they thought you were useful to them or not... / ...they'd've given you that emblem either way.
Ishida: ..............................!!
Ginjou: The proper name for that emblem... / ...is the "Acting Shinigami Battle Permit". / It certifies that you're allowed to take action as a representative of Soul Society in the human world.
Ichigo: ...I know that.
Ginjou: But can you remember it ever... // ...actually fulfilling that purpose?

10
Flashback!Ichigo: I'm Kurosaki Ichigo! / Acting Shinigami! // Here's my emblem!
Flashback!SomeGuy: Emblem?! What's that?! // I've never seen or heard of one of those before!!
Flashback!Ichigo: (...The hell? // This thing isn't any help at all...)
Ichigo: ...Are you trying to say... // ...that this emblem has some kind of other purpose?
Ginjou: ...That's right.

11
Ginjou: The purpose of that emblem... // ...is to monitor and control you. // Thanks to that emblem, Soul Society can track your position at all times... / ...and as long as you keep it close by... // ...they can keep your reiatsu in check. // Did it never seem strange to you? / Even in your Shinigami form, your reiatsu tends to go wild at the slightest provocation. / So why did it never cause you the slightest trouble while you were in human form?

12
Ginjou: Or how about when you first used that emblem to summon your Fullbring? // Did you not wonder why your reiatsu came flooding out of it? // And while you were training that Fullbring... // ...did you not hear any familiar voices coming from that emblem? // The Acting Shinigami Emblem... / ...is both a communications device... / ...and a means of absorbing your reiatsu, analysing it and controlling it. // Soul Society wants to keep you under close observation and under their control. / That's why they gave you that emblem. // You know it's true. // You must have had doubts about their intentions. // You just kept them suppressed... // ...on a subconscious level.

13
Ginjou: You didn't want to believe that the people you'd forged a bond of trust with on the battlefield... // ...were lying to you all along. // You're in denial. // It's time you saw the truth. / Ichigo. // ...Let me tell you the name... // ...of the man who came up with this system.

14
Ginjou: Ukitake Juushirou. // Captain of the 13th Division.

15
Ginjou: That's right. The biggest advocate of peace in the whole Gotei 13... / ...has been playing us for fools! // Ichigo!!!
Flashback!Ishida: (The real danger... // ...is if none of the above are the case.)
Ginjou: He wants to watch over our every move! Keep us on a leash! Use us as pawns of Soul Society... // ...and slaughter us if we step out of line!
Ishida: (This isn't good.........) // Kurosaki!!!

16
Ishida: (Kurosaki isn't capable... // ...of facing up to a revelation like this right now!!!)
Ginjou: Everyone from Soul Society... // ...knows all about what that emblem really means! // Ichigo... // They couldn't care less what happens to you!!
Ishida: Don't listen to him, Kurosaki!!
Ichigo: SHUT UP!!! // BAN... // ...KAI!

14
Tsukishima: As I recall, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi... // ...can move twice as fast when you control it with your hands, yes? // Funny, it feels like it's moving even faster than that. / Well... // I daresay you've improved the speed through diligent training.

15
Tsukishima: However... / You must have already realised. // The more swiftly your blades are able to move... // ...the more suicidal it becomes to suddenly direct them into your own Sheltered Zone!
Byakuya: !

16
Tsukishima: The radius of your sheltered zone... // ...represents the absolute minimum distance at which you can react and avoid any attack that might endanger you yourself. // If you both increase the speed of your blades and start directing them purposefully inside that radius...

17
Tsukishima: ...then the slightest interference... // ...will prevent you from avoiding your own attacks. // So? // Are you beginning to understand? // No matter how you try, there is no way for you to outmatch me. // What will it be next? Kidou, perhaps? / Let me break the bad news to you in advance. // I am versed in methods of sealing each and every one of the Kidou arts you are able to perform. / Come on... // Why don't you try one out, so I can show you?

[Text: Among the people of the Kutsuzawa household... // ...it was known as the "Watch of Good Fortune". // Both my grandfather and my great-grandfather had kept it close by them at all times... // ...and as a result, they had survived the terrors of war, lived through accidents, and reached the end of their lives in peace. // Though the Kutsuzawa household was plagued by a number of fires... // Even then, my grandfather and great grandfather never suffered the slightest burn. // As my father died young of an illness... // ...it was at an early age that the watch was passed down to me. // And it soon became clear to me that the watch did indeed bring good fortune. // In times of need, I would pray to the watch, and my wishes were always granted. // This precious watch... // ...became my own personal concept of "God".]

5
[Text: The first present I ever received... // ...was a pair of large, shiny boots. // They were clearly adult-sized, and the quality of the leather was far beyond anything my father should be able to afford. I knew at once that they must be stolen goods. // But the gift made me so happy, I pretended not to notice. // I wore the boots every day, being extra careful not to get any dirt on them... // ...and I would spend my evenings polishing them until they shined like new. // The one thought that scared me more than anything... // ...was that someday, my feet might grow loo large to wear them.]

6
[Text: As the decades passed, I began to think of the watch's power as my own. // I found myself longing to test just how much this power was truly capable of. // As an experiment, I resolved to "kill a person without lifting a finger". // I tried to kill my wife simply by staring at her. // My experiment was a success. // Though I had not poisoned or harmed her in any way, my wife began to grow weaker and weaker, ultimately passing away. // But I made one terrible mistake. // Just as my wife drew her final breath, I felt my resolve waver. I found myself wishing for her survival. // In that instant, I lost the use of my right eye. // I realised then that these were not "prayers" that my God was granting me... // ...but binding "contracts".]

7
[Text: When I got home from work... // ...they were all dead. // I found out later that this had happened because my father... // ...had been illegally distributing goods. // The boots that I had always kept so clean... // ...were stained with my little brother's blood. // It was a short while afterwards... / ...that my ability first manifested.]

8
Yukio: Yes, Mama. / I understand. // Thank you, Papa. / I'll do that.
Father: ...Are you talking to yourself again? / Yukio. // Why do you speak when you are alone, but never to us?
Yukio: (You must be thinking that I'm not the child you wanted me to be. // But if you look at it the other way, you'd understand that maybe you're not the parents I wanted you to be either. // This kind of thing never occurs to adults, because they don't see children as equals.)

9
[Text: When I was about five years old, I started to properly realise that my ability... // ...was a special power that only I possessed. // At six years old, I felt invincible. // At seven years old, // I had my first crush. // It was a guy who had just moved into the neighbourhood. // He wasn't exactly refined, but his voice was kind. // He was the kind of guy who would always run over to help a person in need. // I hid him away, of course. It seemed only natural. // I brought him sweets every day, and we ate them together. // Just thinking that he would be mine alone made my heart go all aflutter. // But somehow... // ...that wasn't how it worked out.]

10
[Text: After I hid him away in my treasure-box... // ...he started to look at me with fear in his eyes. // I couldn't stand to see him look at me like that, so I set him free. // I didn't even stop to think what might happen... // ...if he told other people about my ability.]

11
Liluca: "Survival of the fittest" is just a pretty lie that they tell you. // A lie to make weak people believe that if they try their best, they can come out on top. // Truth is, it isn't the weak that get eaten. / It's not about strength, it's about numbers. // The ones who stand at the top of the food chain... // ...are the brainless dolts. / The loudmouths. / Because there are so, so many of them. // You know it's true. Everybody does. // You all just turn a blind eye and pretend not to notice. // That's who we were. / The ones who got eaten.

12
Liluca: The woman who couldn't even protect her own family, and lost all sense of self-worth. // The boy who was abandoned so completely... // ...he never learned how to love, or to use his power responsibly. // The guy who got so used to his power... // ...he lost sight of reality and got caught up in delusions of divinity. // The idiot who used her power wrong... / ...and ended up alone in the world. // But then Ginjou found us all, and this is what he told us.
Ginjou: You think just because you're outnumbered, you should curl up and die? // Try using your brain and think for a moment!

13
Ginjou: All throughout history... / Be it royals or samurai or whatever... / This world has always been ruled by minorities! // You're not the ones in the wrong. // It's this world that's become too lenient towards idiots. // It's time we changed all that. // This time, we're gonna be the ones at the top of the food chain.

14
Lilucla: That's why we're.........

15
Rukia: Some no Mai... // Tsukishiro.
Liluca: Ughh!!
Rukia: ...Let me speak honestly. / I do not find it difficult to understand how you must feel. // However...

16
Rukia: That is not reason enough... // ...for me to abandon my comrades! // Just as you are fighting for your comrades... // ...so I must fight together with mine.
Liluca: Were you even listening to what I said?! // I just told you we were all alone in the world, remember?!!
Rukia: Do not struggle. // If I use Tsukishiro once more, your entire body will be frozen solid.
Liluca: I'm pretty sure I already told you... // ...you think too much of yourself!!

17
Liluca: Atchoo!!!
Rukia: ?! / What just...?! // How did I escape from the plushie...?!

Tsukishima: ...A moment's hesitation decided your fate.

5
Tsukishima: Whilst watching my movements, you were unable to avoid thinking... // "Does this man know... / ...about Senbonzakura's sheltered zone?" // Due to its unique style of attack, your blade requires a special safeguard. // An area through which its blades are unable to pass under any circumstance, to avoid harming the wielder.

6
Tsukishima: This area extends approximately 85 centimetres in every direction around your body. // In other words, anyone who can enter that area will be completely safe from nay harm. / Thus the name, "sheltered zone". // This "sheltered zone" exists for both your shikai, Senbonzakura, and your bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi... // ...and could be considered the one fatal weakness... / ...of your otherwise near-impenetrable blade. // The key to defending oneself against Senbonzakura's crushing offensive is to advance rather than retreat. / But for one who does not possess this information in advance... // ...such a tactic goes against every instinct. From a psychological perspective, it is almost impossible. // That is why you keep this information... // ...secret from all except a very select few.

7
Byakuya: ...And you claim to have realised this weakness... // ...by doing battle with Senbonzakura numerous times in the past? // ...That doesn't quite add up. // How, then, did you come to know the name by which this area is called?
Tsukishima: You told me yourself. // Surely you have not forgotten already? // You were just sliced by my blade. // Now... / Let us continue, Byakuya.

8
Tsukishima: No technique that you have ever devised will be effective against me. // After all... / It was I who stood by your side and helped you to develop them all.
Byakuya: Then even Senkei... / ...and Goukei... // ...will be of no use against you...?
Tsukishima: Not even the White Imperial Sword.

Liluca: What, you think you finally have a chance to attack my properly?
Rukia: You are no Hollow or Arrancar. / You are human. // It is the duty of a Shinigami to protect humans such as yourself. / I will not raise my blade against you.

Shishigawara: What are you, an idiot?! / How can you call yourself lucky when I snapped your spear in half with one hit?!! // I'm the lucky one here!!! // So bring it on! // I'll turn everything you have to throw at me right back on you, until there's nothing left of ya!!

12
Ikkaku: So you can break things with lucky hits. I get that. // In that case, I guess there's no point using a weapon.
Shishigawara: You're gonna face me with your bare fists?! // Sounds good!! / Bring it!!

13
Shishigawara: (Hey...)

14
Shishigawara: (The hell's going on? // What's with this guy? // Is it not working?! // No, it must be. // I can feel the blows landing. // Even if each blow isn't snapping his bones in two... // ...it must at least be leaving cracks in 'em. // So why... // Why the hell is this guy... // ...still standing there punching me like nothing's wrong?!) // !

15
Shishigawara: (What the hell just happened...? // It barely even felt...like my punch connected......?! // Are my chances... // ...of a big win... // ...getting lower.........?!!! // My Jackpot Knuckle grants me the ability to hit the jackpot "in one"... / I've never used it so many times in quick succession like this before, so I had no idea, but... // Could it be... / ...that if I use it in a combo... / ...my odds get weaker and weaker......?!)
Ikkaku: ...Something wrong~?

16
Ikkaku: You're not even doing any damage any more. // That all you got... / ...kid?!
Shishigawara: Nghhh...... / You dumbass... // You great fat dumbass!! // I'm just getting started!!

17
Shishigawara: (Good!!! // That time I hit the jackpot!!!) // Eh...?!

18
Shishigawara: Whaaaa~~?!

19
Ikkaku: ...Your punches sure know how to leave a mark, I'll give you that... / But whaddaya know? Whenever they happened to hit me in a really nasty spot, they didn't quite cut deep enough. // Sorry, kid. You picked the wrong opponent. // You may be a kid with luck on your side... // ...but I'm Madarame Ikkaku. // The luckiest guy in the whole Gotei 13!

Jackie: Perhaps that's because I'm still alive...?

Renji: Awake again already? // You're a tough one, all right.
Jackie: I'm conscious, but it'll take some time before I'm able to move about. // If you're going to finish me off, now's your chance.
Renji: Ah, shaddup. / Who says that's the only way of getting outta here? // Use your brain. / I'm sure there's a way out if we look hard enough.
Jackie: ...I wouldn't be so sure. // This is Yukio's doing, after all... / I can't claim to understand everything he does...
Renji: ...Hey. // Are you guys - // !

Renji: The hell?! // The sky is being folded up......?!
Jackie: Ugh... / Yukio must be watching over us...! // He's decided I don't have a chance of beating you... / ...so he's going to eliminate this whole space with both of us in it! // You have to kill me!! // Before it's too late!!

Jackie: Yukio has pride, I know that much! / He'll have set this thing up so that it opens up if one of our reiatsus vanishes completely!! // So kill me!!!
Renji: Not a chance.
Jackie: Why not?!!!

9
Yukio: Oh... // Hello there. // So you finally made it! / I was starting to think you weren't going to show up. // Did the extra traps I prepared help you power up enough to find me? // You don't seem even slightly out of breath. // How very boring.
Hitsugaya: ...You talk too much.

10
Yukio: Now, aren't we rude. // It's a good thing I didn't place any bombs in the room next door. / Didn't you consider that? We could both have been blasted to pieces!
Hitsugaya: Have you not been paying attention? / My Hyourinmaru is a blade of ice. // I would simply have frozen the explosion in its tracks.
Yukio: A blade of ice, he says! // Stylish, very stylish.
Hitsugaya: I didn't come here to engage in small talk.

11
Yukio: Oh, good. That wasn't on my agenda either.
Hitsugaya: ...So you can erase all the damage to the area as though it never happened. // That's a handy ability.
Yukio: Weren't you paying attention? / This whole space is all part of my ability. // As long as we're here, I may as well be God.
Hitsugaya: I see.
Yukio: You don't get it, do you? / A God can do whatever he likes. // For instance...

Yukio: I could do this.

Hitsugaya: ...I see. // You were abandoned.

Yukio: NO!!! // My parents didn't abandon me!! // They were worthless, so I abandoned them!! // I chose this path for myself!! // You have no right to judge me!!

Yukio: I appropriated all of my father's money, and bankrupted his corporation! // You'd be surprised how much a child can learn if you leave him to his own devices! // It was their fault for taking me lightly! // When I saw on the news that they'd committed suicide, I was over the - // !

Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 340: An Essence of Love is Born!♡
[Insert text: The firm promise we made that day is still with us now...]

2
Asuna: Ugh... This outfit is ridiculous! There's so little fabric, I feel embarrassed just wearing it! I don't know how you can stand it!
Ayaka: Well, you'll just have to get used to it. This is what your life is going to be like from now on. // Besides which, from what I've heard... // ...outfits like this aren't exactly uncommon on the other side, are they?
Asuna: Well, no, but we're not there now! We're in Japan! / It's completely different! / [aside]I just want to get out of this party dress already...![/aside]
Ayaka: Don't worry. It suits you perfectly. / ...Your Highness.

3
Asuna: And I told you to stop calling me that! / Coming from you, it just makes my flesh crawl!
Ayaka: I can't say I disagree. // I still have trouble believing that a violent individual such as yourself is really a princess.
Asuna: Nghhh... / [aside]it really pisses me off when you say it like that...[/aside]
Ayaka: Ahaha. Come to think of it, I still haven't got around to thanking you.
Asuna: Thanking me? For what?
Ayaka: Don't tell me you've forgotten. // We made a promise, before you left.
Asuna: Oh, right... that... / I promised I wouldn't let Negi get hurt, and I'd bring him back safely, right? // I'm not sure I can really say I kept it, though... / (I get the feeling he kept on getting himself so badly hurt you'd probably faint if I told you about it... / [aside]was there a single body part that stayed intact the whole trip?[/aside])
Ayaka: Hm? What are you talking about? // It's only natural that Negi-sensei and the others made it back in one piece. / I was talking about you.
Asuna: Huh?

4
Ayaka: Thank you for making it back safely... / ...Asuna-san. // My life would be so much more boring without you around.
Asuna: Wh - What are you coming out with all of a sudden?! // That's really creepy. / Are you trying to manipulate me or something?
Ayaka: Excuse me...?! // What kind of way is that to respond to a sincere expression of gratitude and friendship?! You insensitive idiot!
Asuna: Well, I'm sorry for being such an idiot!
Ayaka: And to think you call yourself the Princess of a mighty kingdom!
Asuna: I didn't choose to start calling myself a Princess!
Kotarou: Hey. I see you're gettin' along great as usual.
Negi: Hello there, Class Rep-san!
Ayaka: Ah!

5
Ayaka: Negi-sensei! How did you find the sights of Tokyo?
Negi: Well, it was quite -
Asuna: Negi!! You're late!!
Fate: We got caught up in a triple date.
Asuna: What?
Fate: I said, Kagurazaka Asuna, that we got caught up in a triple date. // A group of three girls invited us for a night out. And I must say, my two companions certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Asuna: Excuse me~~~~~?! What the hell have you two been playing at~~~?!
Negi: I - It wasn't like that, Asuna-san! We just happened to run into Kakizaki-san and her friends - !
Kotarou: Nothing happened! Nothing weird happened at all!
Ayaka: Chamo-san, what exactly is a "triple date"?
Chamo: Oh, Ayaka-ojousan... You really do live in a different world...
Asuna: [aside]so it was just Sakurako and her friends...[/aside]
Kotarou: So... / What are we doing today?
Ayaka: Ahah... // I doubt you'll be able to believe this, but... // We have come to Tokyo today to meet with the Prime Minister of Japan!
Kotarou: Huh? What're you on about?
Negi: Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, but that's why we all had to come as adults.
Asuna: Eh?!

6
Asuna: Hang on, hang on! How are we even meant to get to see such an important person?!
Kotarou: [aside]this is just getting more and more out there...[/aside]
Ayaka: True enough, under ordinary circumstances it would be an extremely difficult proposition. / Even with my and Chizuru-san's connections, arranging a meeting with the Prime Minister would be pushing it. // But that... // ...is where this comes in! // Ta-da!♡
Asuna: Is that...a Pactio card?! When the heck did you...?!
Ayaka: Ahaha... This card grants me the ability to instantly organise a meeting with anyone, without the need for an appointment.
Fate: Very impressive... Abilities of this nature are extremely rare. Even I have never seen one before.
Ayaka: Hey - !
Kotarou: Meet with anyone, any time? // Even the US President? Or the Pope? / So what, does it make the person's staff let you walk right past - or even show you to him? // That's a crazy powerful ability. You could go around kidnapping influential figures left, right and centre!
Fate: No... The true value of this card lies elsewhere. After all -
Ayaka: Would you mind keeping your filthy hands off the evidence of the love that Negi-sensei and I share?!!
Fate: Ah...
Asuna: So when the heck did you... you know... form a Pactio with Negi?!

7
Ayaka: Oh, you want to hear the details, do you, Asuna-san? The tale of our moment of passion...?♡ / I cannot say I approve of such unabashed prying into our personal affairs...
Asuna: Eh?!
Ayaka: ...But if you truly insist, then I suppose I have no choice! Allow me to relate the entire story!! / A tale of forbidden love between myself, Yukihiro Ayaka, and the innocent Negi-sensei!!
Asuna: Actually, forget it. // Seriously, stop.
Ayaka: Here I go! // It all began three weeks ago, on the second of September...
Flashback!Ayaka: (Asking me to meet him in the classroom after school, so soon after the end of the summer holidays... // What in the world could Negi-sensei want? // Alone in the empty classroom after school... Just the two of us, bathed in the evening light...! // I - I must calm myself! This is just an ordinary classroom, so why does it seem so... // No! Negi-sensei and I are teacher and student! We cannot allow ourselves to...)
Fantasy!Negi: I have a request to make... / Marry me, Ayaka!
Fantasy!Ayaka: Of course!
Flashback!Ayaka: (I - I have to get a hold of myself! I cannot let Negi-sensei see me like this!)
Flashback!Negi: Sorry to keep you waiting, Class Rep-san!
Ayaka: Negi-sen...!

8
Flashback!Negi: Erm, C - Class Rep-san... // There's something... I need to ask you... // ?! // Class Rep-san?! Class Rep-sa~~~n!!
Flashback!Chamo: O - Oh, crap... Aniki! Healing magic, quick!
Flashback!Negi: I thought you said this would be the best way to ask Class Rep-san for a favour~~!
Flashback!Chamo: It must've been too much for her...
Flashback!Ayaka: Ahhh...
Flashback!Negi: Are you all right, Class Rep-san?
Flashback!Ayaka: N... Negi-sensei...? / I thought I... I saw you just there... in a sailor uniform...
Flashback!Negi: Th - That was just, erm... a dream! Forget it ever happened! // Th - The truth is, Class Rep-san... I know this may seem improper... // But there's an extremely important personal favour that I would like to ask of you...
Flashback!Ayaka: (A personal favour for Negi-sensei?! // Your wish is my command!!)

9
Flashback!Ayaka: I see... / The Magical World... / ...and Mars... / ...and its impending collapse...
Flashback!Negi: I - I - I - I'm very sorry! / I know this must be an awful lot for you to take in all at once -
Flashback!Ayaka: Oh, not at all! / I - I do understand what you're saying! I was just so surprised that you chose to speak to me about it...!
Flashback!Negi: Huh...?
Flashback!Ayaka: Shortly after the incident that happened during the summer holidays... / ...Asuna-san explained to me all about magic, and the other world. // And though I should probably apologise for prying, I have taken the liberty of conducting a few investigations with regard to your father... / ...and so I was aware that before his disappearance, he had been taking an interest in the planet Mars, and in various industries connected to space travel.
Flashback!Negi: My father was...?! / Class Rep... I had no idea...
Flashback!Ayaka: With the explanation you just gave, all the pieces have finally fallen into place. / [aside]though I had never dreamed that the truth would be so grand in scale...[/aside] / But most of all, just the fact that you have turned to me for help... It makes me so...! // I will do anything and everything I possibly can, Sensei! Please allow me to be of assistance!
Flashback!Negi: C... Class Rep-san...
Flashback!Chamo: (Thanks to her personality, she comes across as a bit of an airhead most of the time, but this little lady is actually pretty sharp...!)

10
Flashback!Negi: N - No, Class Rep-san! I can't get you mixed up in this! / As a student, your main concern should be your studies! As your teacher, I couldn't possibly do anything to interfere with that! / If you can just introduce me to your family, that will be more than enough; I really can't impose on you any more than -
Flashback!Ayaka: Stop talking like that at once, Negi-sensei!! I won't hear a word of it!!
Flashback!Negi: Ehhhhh~?!
Flashback!Ayaka: I, Yukihiro Ayaka, stand here now in awe and reverence at the weight of the responsibility and the destiny that you have chosen to bear!! / And the fact that you have chosen to turn to me for aid brings me greater joy and happiness than I have felt in all my life! // Please, show no restraint! Entangle me in in your life so that I might never escape!! // For you, I would venture to the depths of hell and the ends of the Earth!! // To earn your heartfelt trust is the deepest and most fervent desire of my soul!! // In this moment, at the age of fifteen, my life is already complete!! I have no regrets!!
Flashback!Negi: C - Class Rep-san, I, erm, think that may be going a little far...
Flashback!Chamo: Heheh... Aniki, I think at this point it would be crueler to let her feelings go to waste. / [aside]and hey, you're both still young! no matter what kind of crazy mistakes you make, there's always time to fix it![/aside] // Ayaka-ojouchan!
Flashback!Ayaka: Yes?
Flashback!Chamo: Seeing as you're so enthusiastic about this whole thing... // What do you say to forming a little contract with Aniki here, eh?

11
Ayaka: And thus, the fateful moment drew near!
Asuna: Just get to the point already.
Flashback!Negi: Whaaaaat~~~?! A Pactio with Class Rep-san~~~~?!
Flashback!Chamo: Well, yeah! After she's shown such dedication to helping you out, how can you not?!
Flashback!Negi: I - I can see what you mean, but...
Flashback!Ayaka: Erm... May I ask what this... "Pactio"... entails, exactly?
Flashback!Chamo: We're talking a kiss, girl! A kiss! A great big smacker!
Flashback!Ayaka: A k...?! / A k - k - k - k - ?!
Flashback!Chamo: Hm?
Flashback!Negi: Class Rep-sa~~~n?!
Flashback!Ayaka: Th - This is all awfully sudden... // Surely there is a proper order to be followed... // C - Can it not wait until after we are married?
Flashback!Negi: ?
Flashback!Chamo: I think there's something seriously wrong with your "proper order".
Flashback!Negi: W - Well, then...

12
Flashback!Ayaka: Wh - Wh - Wh - Whenever you are ready...
Flashback!Negi: R - Right... // ...!
Flashback!Ayaka: ...! // A... Aahhh... This is... Negi-sensei's... // So soft and tender, yet filled with an unmistakeable warmth... Ahhh... Aahhhhh...
Flashback!Chamo: All right! Pacti- // Hm?

13
Flashback!Chamo: Whoaaa?! // (Wh - What is this crazy torrent of magical energy?! // This is totally not normal! // I... I guess it just goes to show how much Aniki's magic has grown! Da~~mn!!
Flashback!Negi: ?!
Flashback!Ayaka: (Negi-sensei...!!! // Negi-sensei...!!!!!!)
Flashback!Chamo: ?!
Flashback!Negi: Mmnh... // Mmnhhhh...!
Flashback!Chamo: (Th... This is...)

14
Flashback!Chamo: (It's... It's not Negi at all! // This power is all coming from the little lady!! // The power of her passion for Aniki is so strong, it's sending the Pactio system flowing in reverse! // This is crazy! It's outrageous! // Little lady... // Is this... // ...the Power of Love......?!) // No, hang on!! Hold it, hold it, hold it! // The card's coming out of Aniki!! This is all backwards!! // And Aniki's practically passing out!! And kind of twitching!! / How much "Power of Love" are you using here?!
Chamo: (So yeah...)
Ayaka: And so this card... / ...is the sign of our unwavering love!♡
Chamo: (Ayaka-ojouchan certainly managed to prove the depth of her love, but...)
Ayaka: Ahh...
Asuna: Don't pull that face! What the heck kind of Pactio was that?! // [aside]are you trying to traumatise Negi for life?![/aside]

15
Ayaka: With this, we can meet the President and the Pope every afternoon if we so desire~!
Fate: [aside]You find the most extraordinary partners, Negi-kun. How do you do it?[/aside]
Asuna: Right...... // So, uh, why are we going to meet the top brass of Japan?
Negi: Well, Class Rep-san's father agreed to lend us his support "as long as it is in the national interest".
Asuna: I see...?
Kotarou: Well, I guess that makes sense, huh? / [aside]so it's off to see the PM...[/aside]
Negi: And of course, I would like to pay my respects to the homeland of all my students.
Kotarou: Hah! You sure know how to act the gentleman, ya sneaky little Englishman!
Asuna: O - Oh...?
Negi: No, I really mean it. Hopefully we will be able to at least forge a tentative power balance, and begin paving the way towards international cooperation. From what little we've heard from Chao-san, I suspect that it would be dangerous to overconcentrate our efforts.
Kotarou: And then you're gonna start using patents and stuff as bargaining chips? This all sounds pretty shady to me...
Fate: Well, when it comes down to it, the Earth itself isn't in any immediate danger. We can hardly assume that all the world's nations will be ready to lend their support out of pure selfless goodwill. This world is hardly without its own troubles, after all.
Asuna: H - Hmm...? / ......
Negi: Well... Unprecedented new technologies, the promise of a vast new frontier on the Martian surface, possible selection as the host site for the construction of the Elevator... We have more than enough chips to bargain with.
Asuna: ...Nghh...
Fate: Ahahah... Sometimes I think you sound more like the leader of an evil organisation than I do these days.
Negi: ...I'll take that as a compliment, Fate.
Asuna: What are those boys looking so pleased with themselves about, with all that incomprehensible talk...?! / [aside]even Kotarou-kun...![/aside]
Ayaka: Is that not simply the nature of men, my dear Princess? / [aside]though you would do well to learn more of such matters yourself.[/aside]
Asuna: Oh, shut up. // ...Still, I guess I'm a little grateful for that nonchalant attitude of yours.
Ayaka: Hm?
Asuna: I mean, even after finding out that I'm a princess and everything... // You didn't act any different towards me at all. / That made me happy.
Ayaka: H...Hmph... / Well, how could I treat you like a princess when you're still such an insufferable idiot?

16
Asuna: Who are you calling an incurable idiot~~~~~?! / [aside]now who's the insensitive one, huh?![/aside]
Negi: All right, everyone, I think we should get going! / If our meeting today goes well, I'll treat everyone to dinner!
Kotarou: Really?! Now we're talking~!
Ayaka: N - Negi, treating me to dinner...? My heart is all aflutter!
Asuna: Hey, I was talking to you!
Fate: Why are you people always so... noisy about everything?
Negi: Don't ask that with such a straight face, Fate...
Kotarou: Whaaaaat?! // Chizu-nee, you formed a Pactio with Negi an' all?!
Chizuru: Well, yes? // I spend a fair amount of time with him as well... // So it seemed like a convenient thing to do. / [aside]Chamo-san recommended it.[/aside]
Kotarou: I... I see... // [aside]she says it like it's nothing...[/aside] // Well, I guess you are the heir to Naba Industries and all that... // (Still, Negi's sure been "busy"... // Is this what they call an "enemy of all women"?)

17
Chizuru: Hmmm...? Something wrong, Kotarou-kun? // You've gone all quiet.
Kotarou: N - Not at all! / Nothing's wrong!
Chizuru: Ahah... Come to think of it, I hear you made a Pactio yourself, with Natsumi-chan?
Kotarou: Wha - ?! / [aside]who told you that?! I mean - that was an emergency measure, and - [/aside]
Chizuru: Hmmm~? I see~~~? Eheheh... // Don't tell me you were hoping for one with me as well~? Oh, Kotarou-kun~~~!
Kotarou: I - ! / I - I - I wasn't - !
Chizuru: Aren't you just the cutest!
Kotarou: I was hoping no such thing! Wh - Wh - Why the heck would I w - want to - ?!
Chizuru: Eheheh... Ahahah... So why don't you tell me how it went with Natsumi-chan, hmmm~?
Kotarou: Wha - ?!
Chizuru: How was she...? I hope you were nice and gentle with her~~!
Kotarou: I - you - she - I - !
Natsumi: (How am I supposed to go inside now...?!)
