Brooke: Ladies and gentlemen, a good day to you!!! // The sun is up, yohohohoho~~~!!! / Let us have a song to greet the day!!! // And the power-tune we'll be bringing you this week is... // That famous song, "Black Handkerchief of Happiness"! / Feel free to sing along, everyone!! // Oh, whiiiiiite~♪ handkerchi~~~ef~~~♪ Don't let hi~~~~m find yo~~~~u~!♪ / Run awa~~~~y~♪ oh, whi~~~te hand~~~ker~~~chi~~~~f~!♪ // Do~~n't let him ge~~t you~~~~~!♪ That octopu~~~~s~!♪ Hide awa~~~~y~!♪
Pirates: Please, stop it, it's the crack of dawn~~~~!! // We're up, we're up, okay, Brooke~~~~!! // I'm awake! I'm awake!!

Brooke: Look, there's a squid as well~~~~~~！♪
Pirates: Give us a ballad, okay?
Brooke: Why, good morning to you!!
Pirates: Oi, Brooke!! / Could you play us "that song", just the once?
Brooke: Of course!! Time for the Captain's favourite song...
Laboon: Pouuuuu~~♪ Poupou~~~pou~!♪ // Pou~~poupou~!♪
Pirates: Hm?
Laboon: Pou~~poupou~~pou~!♪
Pirates: It's the whale! // Hey... you're that little guy from yesterday......... You still hanging around? Go look for your flock!!
[TN: For the record, the correct term for a group of whales is "pod", but I can't be bothered to use that because it sounds too silly.]
Laboon: Pouuuun~!♪ // Pouuuuun~!!
Pirates: Aww, he's so cuuute!♡

4
Pirates: Hey, how long you gonna keep followin' us?! / Your mother must be worried sick, you know!!
Laboon: Pouuupoupou~~~!♪
Pirates: Here, have some food, Laboon! // Whoa, whoa, since when does the thing have a name? // We're under attack~~!!! // Aaahh!! Bleeahh!! Help me!! // Cap'n!! We've got a man overboard!!
Yorki: Just throw out the life buoy!! We can't go and get him now, we need all the men we've got here!!
Brooke: Ahhh... and I can't even swim... I guess that's all I can do...
Laboon: Pouuuuuuuuuuuu!!
Pirate: *pant* / Ahhhhhh!! Thanks for that, Laboon!! Hey!! I'm okay!!
Brooke: Laboon...!! // All right! We're all going to sing "that song"!!
Pirates: Yeeeah~!!
Laboon: Pou!

Pirates: Hey, isn't it getting kinda cold?
Laboon: Pou~!
Pirates: Treasure! We've struck gold, Laboon!! // We're gonna have a real feast today~~~!!!
Laboon: Pouuu!!
Pirates: It's a sea monster!!! Everybody protect Laboon!!!
SeaKing: Grrrrrrr...!!! // Grrrrrrrrrr...!!!
Laboon: Pou!! Pouuu!!!
Pirates: Hahah, you're more attached to the little guy than any of us, huh, Brooke?
Brooke: Yohohoho! Laboon does love music, after all!
Pirates: Hahah, just look at the shape of their heads! They could be brothers!! // Hahahahah!!
Brooke: You think so? Yohohoho!
Laboon: Pouuu!!

6
Pirates: Can't you do anything about it, Brooke...? // I mean, we've all tried telling him, but.........!! // He just won't listen to a thing we have to say! / You get it, right?! // We'd never be able to protect the little guy if we take him any further... // He's just a kid, you know.
Brooke: .........
Pirates: This is the Grand Line... we can't take him in there.
Brooke: Listen up, okay...?
Laboon: Pouuuuu! Pou~♪ Pou~!♪♪
Brooke: Yes, yes, I'll sing you a song, but later. // Now, I know we're certainly nakama, but, well... you're a whale, and...
Laboon: POOOOOUUUUUU!!! // POUUU!! POUUU!!!
Brooke: The Grand Line is a terribly dangerous place!! It truly is!! // Listen, you're a big kid now... but there are beasts out there like nothing we've ever seen here in West Blue -
Laboon: POOOOUUUUUU!!!

7
Brooke: Laboon, just listen to me -
Laboon: Pooouuuuuu!!! Poouuuu!!!
Brooke: He just won't listen to me...
Yorki: No good, huh......? / Well, give the guy a song, at least! Sing him "that song"...
Brooke: Won't that just make him want to stay...?
Laboon: ? // ? // Pouuu~!♪ Pouuu~!♪ // ? // ? // Pouuuu!! // ? // Pouuuu? // Pouuu~!♪
Yorki: This is no good... okay, I know it's hard, but we've gotta turn our backs on him, okay...? / Don't look him in the eye, not until we've left him long behind...
Laboon: Pouu! // Pouu?
Yorki: No playing music, either... no singing...
Brooke: ..................
Laboon: ......... // Pouuuu... // ? // Pouuuu...!! // Pouuuuu!!! // *sniffle*...

Pirates: What an incredible storm...!!! We'll be thrown overboard at this rate!! // Look, over there!! // It's the guiding light that points the way to the Grand Line's entrance!!
Yorki: Is Laboon still hanging around...?!
Pirates: No!! I haven't seen him around for a full week!!
Yorki: It's terrible what we've done to him... but it's for his own good!! / Maybe he'll even be able to finally find his family again. // All right, men, are you all ready for this?!!
Pirates: Yeeeeeeahh!! We're always ready!!
Yorki: Then let's go!! To the greatest ocean in the entire world!!!
Pirates: YEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH!!!
[box: Entrance to the Grand Line: Twin Capes]
Crocus: I am the lighthouse-keeper, Crocus. // Congratulations to you on making it over Reverse Mountain... / And welcome, to the "Pirates' Graveyard".
Pirates: Hey, hey, this isn't some kind of show, you know!

9
Yorki: I'm "Calico Yorki"... I'm pretty well-known back in the western seas.
[TN: "Calico" is a title, like "Strawhat", rather than part of his name.]
Yorki: Sorry to bother you, Crocus, my good sir, but... well, our ship got pretty damn beat up back there...
Crocus: You may stay here as long as you wish... / But I will ask you to help me with the food and drink while you're here.
Yorki: Nuhahaha... man, you're something! Sponging off pirates, huh?! Sure, sounds fair. // Why don't you join us in our celebrations?!! We're all gonna throw a huge party!!!
Crocus: By the way... is that whale who came down the falls with you a pet of yours?
Pirates: Huh? // Gahh!!!
Laboon: Pouuuu!!!
Pirates: LABOOOOOOON~~~~~~~!!!
Laboon: Pouu~~~!♪ // Pou~!♪ // Pou~!♪

Pirates: Hey, Brooke!! Let's all sing "that song", come on!! // The Captain really does love that song... // Hell, yeah!! This is a true song of pirates!!
Yorki: Laboon... you like this song too, right~~~~?!
Laboon: Pouu~~!♪
Brooke: Crocus-san... would you happen to have any requests?
Crocus: Oh, you can play whatever you like, Brooke!
Brooke: Yohohoho!! Singing is the pirate life!
[box: Three months later...]
Crocus: It's a real pity to see you go.
Yorki: Yeah, but... we really have stayed here long enough. / ...Well, then, Crocus. He's in your hands!!
Brooke: I'm so glad you understand!! // Thank you, Laboon!!
Laboon: Pou!!
Pirates: We'll only be two or three years!! We're going to travel straight around this sea!! // Moving swiftly onwards all the way!! Until somehow we manage to make it... / ...all the way back to the other side of this here "Red Line"!

11
Pirates: And then we'll climb straight over this great wall and come back here to these capes! // So just wait until then, all right?!! / I'm sure you'll be bigger and stronger when we met again! // Laboon!! Once you have... no matter where we go... // ...you can come and adventure with us all the way!! Because we're your nakama!!!
Laboon: Pouuuuuuuuuu~~~!!!
Pirates: Laboon!! Just you wait right there!!! // We'll travel right round the world... / ...and we'll come straight back here!!! / That's a promise~~~~~~~~!!
Laboon: Pouuuuuuuuu!!

Flashback!Dude: Hey, Brooke!! // You're like a demon with that sword!! // Could you teach me how to fight like that?!
Brooke: ......... // ..................
Flashback!Pirates: A tornado?!! // But the sun was beating down just a moment ago!! // Anyway, we better run!! Common sense doesn't work, not here!!! // Whaaaaaaaahhh!!!

14
Flashback!Pirates: Hahahahahah!
Brooke: ..................
Flashback!Pirates: Man... now that we're actually here... // This place really is unpredictable... can we really hold up? // Ah, but hey, a rough day just makes the booze at the end taste all the sweeter!! // Yeah!! Ain't that right, Brooke?!! Give us a tune again today!!! // Go on, play "that song"!!
Flashback!Brooke: I thought you might say that!! / Well, then, here goes!
Flashback!Pirates: Ohh, man~~~!! // Hahahahaha!

15
Brooke: Aaaaaghhhh!!! // ...............!! // ......Oh, it's a mirror... Yes, of course, I'm a skeleton now... / Owww.........
Flashback!Pirates: Owwwwwwwwww!!! // It hurts, Cap'n!!
Flashback!Yorki: Oh, shut up!! Don't pick stupid fights in future, then!!
Flashback!Pirates: But Cap'n, this guy nearly killed me with a stray bullet in that battle back there!!
Flashback!Yorki: But you're alive, aren't you? The guy apologised already... / So stop getting all worked up about what's over and done with!! Honestly...
Flashback!Pirates: Owwww...!!! // But the pain is just more proof you're alive... / Hahahah, that's for sure!
Brooke: .........
Flashback!Brooke: The stars...!

Flashback!Brooke: This vast night sky... I wonder if Laboon is looking up at it right now, too... // Eh, Captain?
Flashback!Yorki: ...Hey, everyone, come check it out! Brooke's gettin' all emotional!!!
Flashback!Brooke: H - Hey!! Stop that, all right?!!! It's embarrassing!!!
Flashback!Pirates: Marines?! From Marine HQ?!! What do we do?!! // Don't get all scared or anythin' now!!! Just go get 'em......!!! // Whoooo!! Check it out!! Cap'n's bounty just went up again!!!
Flashback!Yorki: Nuhahahahahah! How d'you like that?!! // Let's have ourselves a party~~~~~~!!!

Flashback!Yorki: Hey, Brooke!! Sing us "that song"!!!
Brooke: Hmmmmhmmhmm~~~~~~~♪ Hmm~~~hmhm~~~hm~~♪ // Hmmmmhmmhmm~~~~~~♪

17
Flashback!Pirates: It's terrible!! // Everyone!! It's the Cap'n!!! // There's somethin' wrong with Cap'n Yorki!! // Huh? // An infectious disease......?!!
Flashback!Doctor: That's right... nobody go into the room... / There are ten others infected besides the Captain......!!
Flashback!Pirates: ..................
Flashback!Doctor: He may have got it in that jungle we passed through...!! / It's an undiscovered virus... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do......!!! // This is a terrible situation......!!! // If things go badly, it could cost the lives of this crew!
Flashback!Pirates: Cap'n!! // Cap'n Yorki~~~~!!!
Flashback!Yorki: Nuhahahah... Don't sound so damn depressed, you guys!! / *cough* / *cough* // We're the Rumba Pirates, who can bring a smile to any kid's face, remember...?!!!

18
Flashback!Yorki: You guys just leave this old ship with us and the virus... / You should... find yourselves a new ship, and keep on going!! // I'll just be... leaving the Grand Line a little ahead of you guys...!!
Flashback!Pirates: Cap'n...
Flashback!Yorki: ......I never thought I'd hear myself saying this......... // But we'll do what we can... and see if we can somehow make it out of the Grand Line through the Calm Belt... ah, it'll work out somehow!! // I'm real sorry, you guys...!! Give Laboon the best from me! / Nuhahahah!! Wipe those looks off your faces, guys, and stand up straight!!!
Flashback!Pirates: Yessir!!
Flashback!Yorki: .........Brooke...
Flashback!Brooke: Yes... / ?!
Flashback!Yorki: .........!!
Flashback!Brooke: ...............!!
Flashback!Yorki: I can't take it......!!!
[TN: Uh, I'm not entirely sure on how to translate "munen da". I'm not really familiar with the phrase. I hope that's somewhere along the right lines...]

19
Flashback!Brooke: Captain Yorki.........!!! // ...!! I... I will never forget those words............!!!
Flashback!Yorki: ...............!!
Flashback!Brooke: All right, Captain?!! I've engraved them right here into my heart!! // Please... take good care of yourself... Captain!! // I shall be leaving this ship... but please... live!! We'll all see each other again, all right, Captain?!!!
Flashback!Yorki: ......Hey, Brooke... / Why don't you see me off... // ...with that song I love so much.........
