[insert text: With smiles and tears, the ship sets sail!!]
Luffy: See you guys!! Later!!
Brooke: Everyone!! Try not to get wiped out!! Yohohoho!!
Usopp: Don't say crazy stuff like that!!
Nami: Lola!! Thanks for the Vivre Card!! Goodbye!!!
Lola: Say hi to my mother from me if you see her!! I hope we meet again someday, Namizou!!!
Pirates: We'll never forget this debt as long as we live, Strawhat!!! // The sun... thank you for bringing us the sun...!! Waaaahhh!! // May the ship of our heroes, the Straw Hat Pirates, have a glorious voyage!!!

3
[box: What will happen now? Nobody knows.]
Luffy: To sea~~~~~~!!
[box: These are those mysterious waters, the "Florian Triangle". // Every year, over one hundred ships...]
Lola: All right!! Shall we all set sail tomorrow?!!
Pirates: Yeaaahhhh!!
Lola: Hmm?
[box: ...are lost completely to the deep mist. // ...This is a deep and an ancient mystery... / ...from long, long before that day ten years ago...]
Lola: Just now... did you see something moving within the mist?
Pirates: What're you talking about, Captain Lola?! / Don't say scary stuff like that!!
Lola: ...Ah, well. Let's not go sailing through there again!!
Pirates: Ah!! Of course!!
[box: ...when the great pirate ship Thriller Bark first cast its shadow across these waters.]

4
[box: It is lucky that the mist is as thick as ever this day...]
Pirates: Oi, oi!! Everyone gather round!! / We've got an amazing story to tell!! // What's this all about then?
[box: For that strange face in the sea... is concealed by its thick white veil...]
Pirates: It is entitled... / "The Straw Hats: A Lone Man's Pride"!! / Listen up properly, you guys! // It all happened when we were all knocked out by that Shichibukai...
[box: Meanwhile... it seems that fate is on this other crew's side, as they leave those terrible waters behind them...]
Brooke: Yohohoho~~~~~~~!! Yo~~~~~ho~~~~~ho~~~~~~~~!!
[box: They follow their compass ever onward... // ...towards an undersea paradise.]

5
Nami: Luffy... // ...Are you sure about this?
Luffy: Hm? // Oh... you mean about Ace's paper? // Yeah, don't worry about it.
Brooke: Luffy-san, I would have no objections if you wished to take a detour!! / Time is of no great importance to Laboon and myself! / To "live" and "meet once more" - that is all that matters!!
Franky: Yeaaaaaahhh!!! Let's go see the old brother Whale!!
Usopp: Yeah, Luffy, we're all totally fine if you want to take a detour!
Luffy: No, really, don't worry about it!! / Even if he was in some kind of trouble, he wouldn't want me to worry... / Ace hates being made to look weak! // If we went to help him, he'd just get pissed off! / If we do meet up, it'll be as enemy pirates! // Ace has his own adventure to lead!

6
Sanji: .................. / That "Vivre Card"... apparently it doesn't just shrink when the owner's in bad condition... // Once they recover, it gets bigger again.
Luffy: Yeah! If we're gonna meet him, it should be at full strength!! // That's why Ace gave us this piece of paper!! // Right?!! // Oh, hey, Zoro... you've been sleeping all this time...
Zoro: Hm?
Luffy: You still haven't done this yet, huh~?
Usopp: Well, let's do it properly then! // In celebration of our new nakama, the musician Brooke, joining the crew...
Everyone: KANPAAAAAAAAI!!!
Brooke: Very much obliged!!!

7
[box: Holy Land, "Mariejoa"]
Sengoku: Bartholemew Kuma......!! Even with your ability, you let them escape?! / I would like to hear a better explanation than that!! I'm the one who has to report this to the higher-ups, you know!!
Garp: Fuwahahahahah!! That's my grandson for ya!!
Sengoku: Oh, be quiet, Garp!!! // You received an an express Government order to eliminate the entire crew... / ...and yet you failed to obtain even the single head of "Strawhat Luffy"... this is a disgrace!
Kuma: That is pertinent...
Sengoku: To what?!
Garp: Ah, don't worry yourself, Sengoku~! Luffy isn't the sort of guy who'd go around boasting about taking out Moria anyway!!
Sengoku: Hm......!! Kuma... I certainly hope you did not take pity on those pirates, wounded as they were. // With you failing to take this seriously, this game of cat-and-mouse will have no end. // ...Right now, they are blindly following their Log; they draw nearer to the Marine Headquarters every second.
Kuma: .........Indeed they are......
Garp: Oh, yeah, by the way... I brought the new tea!! Get out the crackers!
Sengoku: Garp, will you BE QUIET?!!!

[box: The Grand Line...]
[bubbleSFX: the sound of candy falling from the sky ~_~]
Strawhats: Something's falling from the sky!! // Rain?!! / This isn't rain!! It's candy!!
[TN: It's a pun - "ame" means both "rain" and "candy".]
[box: The Thousand Sunny.]
Strawhats: Oww!! Whoa! It's sweet... this is great!! // It hurts!! Why is candy raining down?! // A SEA TANUKI!! Watch out!! Run for it!!!
[TN: Is this supposed to be a pun as well? "Umidanuki" (literally, "sea tanuki") means "beaver", but this one seems to be more... literal.]
Luffy: A circle-rainbow!!
Strawhats: Whooooa!!!
Nami: So pretty~!!
Strawhats: Gaahhh! What now?!! // They're serpent-currents!! // The hell?!! Let's sail straight over them~~~~~!!!
Brooke: Allow me to sing a song!!
Luffy: All right, let's sing~~~!!
[TN: Are the rainbow and the currents meant to be puns too? They seem rather random >_<]

[box: A few days later...]
Strawhats: .................. // We're here......
Luffy: We finally made it!! // All this way!!!
Nami: It feels kind of "nostalgic"...... // A deep and powerful feeling......
Sanji: Back on that day... we were in the middle of a terrible storm...
Zoro: I wonder... have we matured since then, as a crew...?
Brooke: ............I...!! // I have not seen such a sight for fifty years...! Yohohoho!
Luffy: Shishishishi!! I guess this means we're "halfway there", huh?!! / On the other side of the world... Twin Capes, where we met Laboon, is connected all the way to this spot!!
[Label: Current location]
Luffy: ...It's great that we made it all the way here together!!
Chopper: I can't even see the top.........!! // It's so huuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!

10-11
Strawhats: THE RED LINE!!!!
Usopp: ...Dammit, I'm gonna start crying...! // We've been through so much............!!
Franky: Apparently, I came over Reverse Mountain when I was just a kid, but I can't even remember that far back... // Must've been more than 30 years ago, huh...
Robin: It was five years ago that I left West Blue... // ...and entered this ocean...
Luffy: Just one more time, halfway around the world, and we'll be seeing this wall again. // ............And that's when... // I'll be... / ...the Pirate King!!!

12
Luffy: Shishishishi!!
Strawhats: But we've got to be careful now. // Down you go!! // Aahhh! // This place is right near the "holy ground" of the Marine HQ and the World Government... // ..."Mariejoa".........!!
Usopp: Wahahahahahah!!
Chopper: This "surprise pool" is the best~!!
Zoro: I still......... have a long way to go............!! // Haahh...!! / I've gotta get stronger!! // Ahhh.........!! I'm still far too weak...!! // I've gotta get stronger......!!!

13
Nami: How is it? Robin, Brooke, Luffy!!
Robin: This is no good... it's pitch black.
Luffy: It's pitch black down here!! Whoooaa!! / Hey, hey, I just saw something shiny!!
Brooke: Ahhh... could it possibly be the eye of some great beast?!! / We're all going to die~~!! Although I've already died!! Yohohohoho!! / Ah! Of course... Nami-san. // What kind of panties are you wearing today?
Nami: SHADDUP!! TAKE THIS MORE SERIOUSLY!!!
Franky: Oi, you guys! The Shark Submerge III can only go down to depths of 5000 metres!! Watch out, okay?!
Usopp: Man... Brooke's a plucky guy...!!
Brooke: Hmm? The hull seems to be creaking.
Robin: Well, we are over 5000 metres down...
Luffy: Maaan, that's a long way! Hahahahah!
Brooke: Ah, but this is terrible!! We shall all be crushed by the pressure!!!
Luffy: Ahh!! It's that monster again!! It's still here!
Robin: Ahaha... My, that is a large mouth.

14
Strawhats: This is bad!!! // Aaghh!! // We're gonna get eaten~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Chopper: You know, I don't think I want to go in... / ...that Shark Submerge.
Usopp: Yeah, me too.
Franky: Man, sounds pretty bad down there.
Sanji: Nami-sa~~~~~n!♡ Here's some dessert~! / It's a "Horror-Nashi Tarte" from Thriller Bark~!♡
Nami: Ahh, that looks lovely!!
Nami: But this isn't good......... / Mmm, tasty!♡
Sanji: It's like the problem we had with Sky Island all over again...
Nami: That's right... We know the direction we're meant to head... // But we don't know how we're meant to get there. // How are we supposed to get to Fishman Island?

15
Strawhats: Ahhhhh!! // We're up~~~~!! // Ahhh, that was fun~~~!!
Nami: Welcome back, guys!
Luffy: It's useless! We can't see a thing down there! / Is it really down there...? "Fishman Island"...!!
Brooke: Yohoho... I've never been in a submarine before!
Robin: If it's any further down than that, we'd die before we reached it.
Nami: The Log Pose is certainly pointing straight down... // This isn't good... We should have asked Lola and the others for more information...
Luffy: Hm? // !! / Waaaagh!!! // It's him again!!! // He followed us here!!!

16
Strawhats: It's a "Sea Rabbit"!!!
Luffy: Don't try thinking you can beat me up here, though! // Gomu Gomu no... // RIFLE!!!!

17
Usopp: Somehow he didn't even seem that big...
Chopper: It's because we've been hanging around that Oz!! / Looks like we're all right for the moment, hahahah!
Sanji: ...He spat something out.
Strawhats: ?!
Luffy: Hm? // Is that a fish?
Nami: Is it a person? No...!!
Franky: Could it be...?!
Sanji: Could - !! // Could it be...?!!

18
Caimie: Aaaaahhhh!!
Sanji: Buwaaahhhhh!♡
Thing: Hah!!
Luffy: ?! // There's a weird thing down there too!!
Caimie: *pant* // *pant* // Ahhhh!! I beat up a human person!! // I'm so sorry!! Are you okay?!
Sanji: No, no, that's perfectly fine!♡ How about you?
Nami: Could it really be......?!
Strawhats: A MERMAID?!!
Caimie: Aaaaaahhhh!!! So many human people everywhere!!!
Strawhats: Whoooa!!!
Caimie: Well, thank you so much for saving me! I thought I was about to be digested!! // I'm always getting myself swallowed by sea-monsters!! This must be about the 20th time!

19
Caimie: But I simply must do something to repay you!! ...Of course!! // Would you like some takoyaki?!
[box: Kissing Gourami Mermaid, Caimie (Wants to be a designer, currently works at a takoyaki shop)]
Luffy: Takoyaki~~~~?! I love takoyaki!!
Caimie: Really?! Well, then!! That will be 500 Beri!!
Thing: Don't SELL them!!!
Caimie: Oh, no, I screwed up~~~~~~!!!
[insert text: So sudden!!]
[TN: As far as I can see, the popular spelling of the mermaid's name seems to be "Camie", but... I don't like it somehow. It doesn't really reflect the pronunciation very well. Unless it's official or something, I think I'll stick with "Caimie" for the moment.]
