[Insert text: Blow him away!!]
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no......... // PISTOL!!! // Ungh!
Ace: What do you think... // ...you're even doing?!!!
Luffy: Guehh!!
Sabo: A~nd match! Ace is the winner!!
Ace: Is that ability of yours really good for anything?
Luffy: Ughhh... it's not working properly!
Imaginary!Luffy: PISTOL!!
Luffy: Once I get this attack working how it's meant to... / ...you guys won't know what hit you, all right?! // One more round!!
Ace: Sorry, but it's only 100 rounds per day per person. Try again tomorrow.

3
Sabo: And as usual, Luffy's lost to me and to Ace 50 times each. / Me and Ace are at 24-26. / Dammit~~~~!!
Luffy: Well, when I'm ten years old, I'll beat both of you up!!
Ace: When you're ten, we'll both be thirteen. Come on, let's go catch dinner. // All right! // How does crocodile sound?
Luffy: Crocodile sure is tasty~~~!
Sabo: Try not to get eaten this time, all right, Luffy?! / It was only blind luck that it swallowed you whole last time!
[Box: The harsh environment of Mount Colbo... // ...helped these boys to grow stronger with each passing day. // Meanwhile, to the north of the mountain...]

4
[Box: ...lies Grey Terminal, otherwise known as the Trash Heap. / Still further north lies the city... // ...but it is separated from Grey Terminal by a mighty, impassable stone wall. // The only way through this wall is through a mighty door known only as the Great Gate... // ...and twice a day, trash gathered from across the land... // ...is brought through this Gate in massive quantities.]
People: Guys!! The trash is here!!! // All right!! Treasure-hunting time!! // What kind of food will show up today?!!
[Box: The residents of the trash heap make their living by occasionally heading into the city and selling recycled goods.]
People: Hey, what's that you've got there? // It's crocodile skin. I'm gonna go sell it.
[Box: Yet they never think to live in the city itself. Nobody is fool enough to wish misery upon himself.]

5
[Box: Upon passing through the Great Gate, they emerge onto a wide street, populated with passers-by from the city itself.]
Guards: Don't forget... // After sundown, the Trash Hunters will be patrolling the streets! / If they catch you, your lives are forfeit!
[Box: This is the "Outskirts", where the scent of the trash heap can still be detected in the air. // The hoodlums and delinquents of the city gather here.]
Hoodlums: Oi!! You're from the trash heap, ain't that right? // What's that you've got there?! Let's see it!!
Ace/Luffy/Sabo: ..................
Hoodlums: ?!
Ace: Shut your faces, hoodlums!!
Hoodlums: Ahh... these kids are...!!
[Box: Further from the trash heap lies the more respectable "Central District". // And in the very centre of this district lies yet another tall stone wall. // This wall surrounds the "Elite District", home of royalty and nobles.]

6
[Box: The name of this land is the Goa Kingdom. // It is said to be the most beautiful land in all of East Blue, utterly free of all trash. // In this country, all that is deemed unnecessary is carefully separated out; it could be termed a prime example of a successfully segregated society. // Fuchsia Village, where Luffy was born, though overlooked by many... // ...is also a part of this Kingdom.]
[Top labels: Fuchsia Village // Palace]
[Bottom labels: Mt Colbo // Grey Terminal // Outskirts // Central District // Elite District]

[Box: Goa Kingdom, Central District]
Owner: Leave without paying, will you~~~~~~~~~?!!! // Somebody catch those little brats~~~~!!!
Sabo: Man, that was good~~~~!
Ace: What did I tell ya?!!
People: ?!!
Police: It's that damn trio of kids again!! // They're known criminals!! Why did you let them in in the first place?!! // Don't let those three brats get away! // Somebody hold them down!!!
Father: ? // Eh...?

8
Father: Sabo?!! // Sabo... it's really you!! Wait right there!!! / You're alive?!! I don't believe it!!! // You have to come back home!!!
Sabo: ...............!!
Ace: ......?! Hey, Sabo!! Someone's calling for you!!
Father: Wait~~~~~!!
Luffy: Who is that guy......?!!
Sabo: ......!! He must be mistaking me for someone else! Let's go!!!
People: To think that they would escape out the window......... / I mean, we're four stories up!
Owner: They've cost us 26 bowls of ramen, and a pane of glass to boot.
People: Owner!! // They seem to have left some kind of note......!!
[Note: Will pay when I find treasure / Luffy]
Owner: "When I find treasure"~~~??!

9
Sabo: What?! I'm not hiding anything!!
Luffy: Oh... really?
Ace: Don't be stupid, of course he is!!! Let's hear it, Sabo!! // We shouldn't have to keep any secrets from each other, now, should we?
Ace/Luffy: Spill it.
Ace: Just tell us already, you idiot!!! I'll kick your face in!!!
Sabo: ......Guarghh!! .........ahhh...!! ...A... All right...!! I'll talk, I'll talk!! // ........................!!
Ace: The son of a noble?!! // Who is?!
Sabo: .........I am......!!
Ace/Luffy: ...So?
Sabo: YOU'RE THE ONES WHO WANTED TO KNOW!!! // .........The truth is, both of my real parents are still out there... I'm not a real orphan... / ...and I wasn't born on the trash heap, either. // The man who was trying to stop me just now was my father.

10
Sabo: I'm sorry I had to lie to you.
Luffy: Well, if you're sorry, then that's fine!! I forgive you.
Ace: I'm actually pretty shocked by this. / If you were born into a noble household... why would you end up on the trash heap?
Sabo: ..................
Flashback!Father: Now listen, Sabo my boy. // You have to grow up to be the kind of man who can marry the daughter of a royal family.
Flashback!Mother: If you marry a royal, then our family will be able to live easy!! And you'll be happier that way too, of course!!
Flashback!Father: Look, Sabo, I'm tired out from a hard day's work!!
[Picture: daddy]
Flashback!Father: If you have the time to sit around drawing pictures, why don't you go to your room and study?!!
Flashback!Mother: You got in a fight with a royal?!
Flashback!Sabo: Uh-huh...! He really hurt me...!! He had a weapon, and - // Mother...?!! He really hurt me...!!
Flashback!Mother: Oh, I am so sorry!! My son didn't hurt you at all, did he?
Flashback!Sabo: .........
Sabo: All they ever cared about was having an heir to protect the family status and fortune. // They never cared about me!! // If I couldn't marry into a royal family, then I was worthless. / They made me work day in, day out to improve my chances. // My parents were always fighting because I wasn't good enough for them. / There was never any place for me in that house.

11
Sabo: This may be kind of rude to you guys, but... I was always "alone" even though I had parents.
Luffy/Ace: ..................
Flashback!Father: Don't you ever go near that trash heap!! / The people living their aren't human. // They're just pieces of trash in human form...!!
Sabo: The nobles always scorned and despised the trash heap... but compared to that horrible Elite District, where I didn't even have room to breathe... // ...where my whole damn life was planned out for me... I'd take the trash heap any day.
Ace: .................. // ...So that's the deal, huh......
Sabo: Ace... Luffy...!!! // We have to make it out to sea someday!! We'll leave this country behind... / ...and gain our freedom!!! // I want to see the world in all its glory and write a book about all the things I find!! / If it's sailing I'm studying for, then I don't care how hard I have to work!! // We've got to get stronger, and become real pirates!!!

12
Ace: Heheh... // I don't need you to tell me that!! // I'm gonna become a pirate, beat every last person who stands in my way... / ...and earn myself the kind of glory that dreams are made of!! Only then will my life have been worth living!!! // I don't care if the whole world refuses to accept me... they can hate me all they like!!! // I'll become a Great Pirate and prove I'm better than them all!!! // I won't run from anybody!!! I'll never lose!!! I don't care if they end up terrified of me!! / I'm just gonna make sure the whole world knows my name!!!
Luffy: Shishishi...!! // All right... well, then... // I'm gonna...!!!
Ace/Sabo: !

13
Ace/Sabo: Huh??!
Luffy: Ahahahahahah!
Ace: ......Of all the things... you could come out with...
Sabo: Ahahaha! Man, you're one crazy guy!! // You're one to keep an eye on, and that's for sure!! // ...But isn't it gonna be a problem if all three of us want to be captain?
Ace: ...Yeah, that could be an issue. I always thought you were gonna be my navigator, Sabo.
Luffy: What? You guys should join my ship~~!!
Ace: Well, we can decide the details when the time comes.
Sabo: Who knows, maybe we'll all end up forming our own separate crews!!
Luffy: Ahh! You stole some of Dadan's booze!
Ace: Did you know, you guys?

14
Ace: If you exchange drinks, then you can become brothers.
Luffy: Brothers~~?! // Really?!!
Ace: When we become pirates, we may not be able to end up on the same crew...
Sabo: .........
Ace: ...but the bond of brotherhood we share will never die!! // No matter where we are, or what we do... / ...this is one bond we can never break......!! // Starting today, we... // ...are brothers!!
Luffy/Sabo: Yeah!!!
[TN: Damn you Oda. *goes back and edits "the two of us" out of the previous instance of that quote*]

[Box: One day...]
Luffy: Give Sabo back!!! // Bluejam!!!
Bluejam: Fufufu......
Father: Give him back? Try speaking sense, urchins. // Sabo is my own flesh and blood!!! / It is the duty of every child to live his life according to the wishes of the parents who brought him into the world!!! / How dare you urchins convince my Sabo to run away from home!! // Filthy pieces of trash... Is it my fortune you are after?!
Ace: The hell did you say?!! // ?!!
Father: Useless pirates!! Be more careful how you deal with those brats!! / You managed to get the blood of those filthy trashheap urchins on my cheek! How disgusting... / I will have to clean it thoroughly...
Sabo: ...............!!! // Stop this already!! ......They didn't convince me to run away from home!! I ran away because I wanted to!!!
Father: I'll hear no more from you!!!

19
Father: I leave the rest to you, pirates.
Bluejam: But of course, sir. You have paid us well, after all. / I'll take care of these urchins. They won't be bothering your dear little boy again.
Sabo: !! ...Hold on a minute!! Bluejam!! // Father! I give up! I'll do as you say!
Father: You'll do what, Sabo?
Ace: Sabo!!! Stop!!!
Sabo: I'll do everything you tell me...!! I'll live my life however you want!!!
Ace: ......!!
Sabo: Just please... don't harm Ace and Luffy!! // I'm begging you... they mean more to me than anything... they're my brothers!!!
Ace: Sabo...!! // ...Oi...?!! Where are you going?!!! // Get away from those guys!! We'll be fine, you hear?!!! / We're all going to become free men, aren't we?!! // Are you going to let it end here?!! // SABO~~~~~~!!!
