Hancock: That shadow on the horizon is the Shabondy Archipelago. Luffy... this is as far as we can take you. // Our association cannot be revealed to the world at large.
Luffy: Uh-huh.
Hancock: You should wear this... like so.
Luffy: Ahahah! I don't need that! Don't worry, no-one'll find out~!
Hancock: You do not want it? Still, you should at least hide your face... // The world may currently think you to be dead... / ...but they know your face well from the incident two years ago. // If you cause a disturbance, it may delay your journey.
Luffy: Yeah, I know!
Hancock: ...Oh, and I have prepared a rucksack for you with 500 changes of clothes, enough packed lunches for a thousand men...... handkerchiefs, tissues, and five years' worth of towels... three years' worth of drinking water and snacks, silver cutlery... // Oh, and toothbrushes, soap, hand cream, ountment for insect bites - that should last you eight-
Nyon: Make that thing lighter.
Hancock: We of the Kuja Pirates will always be ready to come to your aid should you ever need us!! // Please do not forget this.

Luffy: Uh-huh!! Thanks for all this, you guys!!
Margaret: Ahahah... We'll be praying for your safe journey!!
Hancock: ...Also... there is just one other thing I wish to ask of you.........
Luffy: What is it? I'm not marrying you.
Hancock: No, not that............! I only desire that you leave... // ...without saying "farewell"...
Luffy: Oh, right! Well, I've never said that to anyone anyway!! // I want to see you again, after all!! // Well, then... I'll be off now!!
Hancock: I am certain we will meet again... Luffy......!!
Luffy: See you~~~~~~!!!
Hancock: He said that he wishes to see me again... Could this possibly be............ / ...a proposal?!
Nyon: It is nyot.

FakeLuffy: .........You just bumped into me on purpose, didn't ya?!
Luffy: .........
FakeLuffy: Do you know who I am?!! You tryin' to start something?!!! Did you see how much of an idiot you just made me look?!! / You made a fool out of me in front of all these people!!! // Out of me, a pirate with a bounty of four hundred million!!! // Now get down!! On your knees!! Tremble in fear... / And beg for your life!!!
People: ...............!!

5
FakeSogeking: Just a little while ago... this long-nosed guy and long-haird woman were fool enough to mess with us... / ...so our Captain's real pissed off right now, you get it?!!! So hurry it up...!
Luffy: ..................
FakeFranky: ...An' if ya don't... that moment's blunder... / ...is gonna be the mistake that costs you your life...! // Our Captain can get pretty damn twitchy with his trigger finger on that pistol...!
People: (Just get down on your knees already, boy! This is Straw Hat Luffy you're dealing with!)
Luffy: I'm real sorry. // But I'm in a hurry, so......
People: !!! // ........................!!!
FakeLuffy: All right... I've heard all I gotta hear!!!

Robin: .................. // The Sunny... // We've kept you waiting... // ...for two whole years... // It's good to see you're all right.
Franky: Hm?? // ! // Owwwhh~!! That scorching beauty can only be......!!

9
Franky: The super-archaeologist of our very own crew~~~~~~~~~~!! // If it ain't old Robin~~~~~~~~!!!
Robin: .................. // You never do change, Franky!

10
Franky: I have changed, you idiot!! Take a good long look at the sheer romance packed into this body!! / Behold a remodelling the likes of which the world has never seen!! / Hell, I've exceeded the bounds of human intellect!!
Robin: ...Yes, quite. I don't think I can associate with you as a person any longer.
Franky: Oi, oi, are you calling me a pervert? / You sure know how to give a man a compliment!!
Robin: So this is a Coated ship... It's like some kind of jelly.
Franky: Damn right! Rayleigh's skills are something else! / With this, we'll be blazing across the ocean floor!! This technology is just outrageous!
Robin: I've just been to visit Rayleigh.
Franky: You went to the Bar, then. What number are you, then?
Robin: I'm the eighth. We're just waiting for Luffy.
Franky: I see! / So the time to set sail on our new voyage draws near!! / Well, I've fixed her up good and proper! New weapons and all! Gahahahah!

11
Franky: Usopp and Sanji have been here already. / Usopp's gone out to get fuel, and Sanji's stocking us up on food!!
Robin: Say, did you know about this?
Franky: ...Oh, the whole thing with Brook. // Yeah, I knew. His TDs are everywhere, after all... // That guy's a real shining star right now!! From the dark, silent depths of that misty ocean... // ...he's climbed all the way to a dazzling stage roaring with the sound of non-stop cheers! // I wouldn't be surprised... // ...if he decided...
Brook: WHOAHH!! LIVIN' IN DA SOUTH BLUE~~~!♪
Franky: ...not to go back to being a pirate at all...!
Brook: YEAHH~~!! / BUSHY OL' BEARD!♪ // BAOWW~!! NO BEARD AT ALL!♪

[Box: Grove #47]
FakeStrawHats: Captain! // Captain Luffy!!
Chopper: Luffy~~~!! I've missed you guys so much!!!
FakeStrawHats: What the heck happened?!!
Chopper: Luffy!! Franky!! Nami!! Sogeking??
FakeLuffy: ......It was like a cold chill shot through my whole body... The hell did that guy do.........?!
FakeZoro: Oh, but you've got to hear what happened to us...! / The thing is, Cocoa - uh, I mean, Nico Robin -
Chopper: You guys really have changed in these two years, huh~~~? / You must have got really strong...! Hmm?
People: (It's the Straw Hat Pirates... What are they doing there by the roadside?! // Well, the thing is, just now...)
FakeLuffy: What did you say, Zoro?!! Nico Robin's been kidnapped?!!
Chopper: Uh-huh!! It's terrible, Luffy!! Robin's in trouble!!
FakeLuffy: Who the hell kidnapped her......?!!!
Chopper: It could be those slave traders! Like before, with Caimie!
FakeZoro: That's the thing... we don't have a clue!!

13
FakeSanji: (We suspect, though, that it was somebody with a grudge against the real Nico Robin... They must have taken Cocoa by mistake...
FakeLuffy: Yeah, could be... The resemblance is uncanny. / Sucks to be her...
Chopper: Hey, stop whispering~~~~!!
FakeLuffy: Well, whatever. Leave her. This is her fate.
FakeZoro: Huh?! ......!! Very well, Captain!
FakeLuffy: So... what's this thing?
Chopper: Oi, Luffy!!! Don't you get it?! Robin's been kidnapped!!
FakeLuffy: More importantly, we've gotta get all the hundred pirates we've recruited on this island gathered together in Grove #46!!! / The "long-nosed guy"... the "woman with long orange hair"......... // ...and a "brat with a cape and a giant rucksack"......!! / I want all three of 'em found, so we can make 'em rue the day they ever got on the wrong side of Straw Hat Luffy!!!
FakeSanji: Roger that.
Chopper: Hold on, you guys!!! / Luffy!!! Has your heart changed over these two years as well?! I'm feeling so sad, I could cry...!
FakeLuffy: ? / Like I said, what is this thing......?!!
Chopper: ......?!! What about Robin?!!! Are you all just going to let this happen?!! // Dammitall~!!! I'm disappointed in you guys!!! / I'm gonna save her even if I have to do it alone!!! Hang in there, Robin!!!
Marines: (......Falling out among themselves......?!)

14
Marines: There's no doubt about it... / It would appear the appearances of Straw Hat Luffy and his crewmembers have changed significantly over the past two years... // ...but there's no mistaking that strange pet. Those men... // ...are the Straw Hat Pirates!! / They're still alive......!!! // This is Grove #43!! / We have visual confirmation on the Straw Hat Pirates!
[Box: Shabondy Archipelago, Grove #66 // Marine Outpost]
Marines: It would appear that the Straw Hats are planning to gather the pirates they have recruited... // ...for a meeting in Grove #46...!! // Good work. Understood. Get there immediately and evacuate the citizens. // Yessir! // The pirates are on the move!! Grove #46!! We're up against the Straw Hat Pirates!! We're heading into the lawless regions!! // Prepare for battle!!! Get troops to Groves #40, #42 and #44, ready to surround them!! // Reinforcements should be coming from G1!!

15
Sentoumaru: I'll go on ahead.
Marines: Ah... Sentoumaru-san...!!
Sentoumaru: I'm taking the PX-5 and PX-7 with me.
Marines: Huh...?! You're mobilising the Pacifista?!
Sentoumaru: Of course. Are you underestimating the Straw Hats? / It's been two years. They'll be even stronger than before. / They're not on the same level as the rookies you're used to!! // Two years ago... / ...Kuma's actions back then never were fully explained. // ...But judging from his strange behaviour even after he lost his personality... // I knew for sure that the Straw Hat Pirates would show up on this island again someday...!! Let's go!!!

[Box: Grove #42]
Sanji: Hey, there - Mr. Fisherman! / How's the haul today? I'm looking for a bargain!
Fisherman: ......Aahhh......
Sanji: What's wrong?
Fisherman: He's gone......! That green-haired guy............!
Sanji: Green-haired......?? Did something happen?
Fisherman: I've gone an' done something terrible~~~!! // Y'see... just now, this guy with three swords happened to come by here, right......? // And he says, "I'm bored, so I wanna do some fishing"...!! / ...So I tells him, I'll be taking my boat out soon, so you just wait for me on board, yeah...?!
Sanji: A green-haired guy with three swords and a haramaki round his waist?
Fisherman: Yeah! That's him! One-eyed, to boot!! D'you know him?
Sanji: (One-eyed......?) // Is this the guy?
Fisherman: Ahhh!! Yep, this is the guy all right!! He a friend of yours?!
Sanji: ...Well, I suppose...... I know him, kind of......

17
Fisherman: ......But listen! I swear, I told him to wait on my fishing boat! I told him, I did!! / But you know what I found when I came over here?! / He was only fast asleep on the gigantic pirate ship right next to it!! // I was panicked, I tell you, but I yelled at him, "Not that boat!", I did, but he just keeps on snoring!! And by then it was too late! / The pirate ship was all Coated up, and it sank right down into the ocean...!! It must've headed off... // ...for Fishman Island...!
Sanji: .................. // ......... // That idiot... // I thought it was a bad sign that he'd actually made it to the meeting point before anyone else, and now look what happens!!
Fisherman: It was a pirate ship, you hear?! He could've been killed by now...!!
Sanji: No, no, that's fine. Don't worry yourself, this isn't your fault at all!! That brute won't get himself killed, so you can rest easy. / Hell, at least now we know where to find him. / So... have you got any fish?
People: Hey!! Look - out in the ocean!! There's something coming up!!
Sanji: Hm?
People: It's huge!!
Sanji: ?!

18-19
People: ?!! // Guaaahhhh!! It's a galleon!!! // A massive pirate ship, split clean in two!!! // Did it have a Coating failure and get crushed by the water pressure...?! // Was it attacked by a Sea King...?! // That crack looks almost as though it was sliced through by a blade!! // Don't be stupid... who the hell could slice through a massive ship like that?!!
Pirates: Why, you... How dare you...... // ...You've ruined everything... our dreams of the New World.........!!!
Zoro: .................. // That's just how the dice roll... Blame Fate for abandoning your ship to the gods of misfortune.
People: Look!
Pirates: What nonsense is this......?!!
People: There's someone on board!!
Sanji: ...What, you're back already? / Not that I care either way......
Zoro: Bueghh...! // I got... // ...the wrong boat!!!
