One Piece: of Skypeia (2018) - full transcript

Episode of Sky Island is a TV Special of the One Piece anime. It is a retelling of the Sky Island Saga, particularly Skypiea Arc.

Here are your refreshments.

Oh, thank you.

Here you go, Nami-san.

Thank you.

Let me know anytime you want a refill.

Hey, Usopp!

Usopp!

What? Don't bother me now--

Chopper!

What in the world are they doing?

I like how it's cheerful.



Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who aspires to
become the King of the Pirates, and his crew,

Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper,

added Nico Robin to the group
at the desert kingdom Alabasta,

and were continuing their journey
on the Grand Line.

Navigator-san, by the way...
Is the Log Pose working?

Straight to west-northwest!
No problem! We're on our way!

Okay. If I remember right, the island
next to Alabasta is Autumn Island.

Rain?

What?

Ouch.

It's not rain...

It's...

A galleon?!

How?!



What is it? What?! Hey! What?!

More stuff's falling! Watch out!

Wow! Cool! What's happening?!

Luffy, protect the ship!
It can't take this!

Okay! Count on--

What's this?

Hey, Nami! I got something!

This is no time for that!

Why the heck did a ship fall from the sky?

How weird!

There's nothing in the sky...

What's wrong, Nami-san?

Our Log Pose is...

...broken! It's stuck pointing upwards!

What should we do? We can't
get to the next island without it!

That's not it.

What?

It was updated by an island
with stronger magnetism.

What?!

If the Log Pose needle
is pointing upwards...

...that means the log has been
caught by a sky island.

Sky island?!

Oh, yeah. Earlier, I found...

What's that?

Skypiea? A map of a sky island?!

What?!

No way... Does this mean that
there's really an island in the sky?!

Let's go, Nami! It's a dream island!
We can go to a dream island!

Yay! Awesome!

Skypiea! Skypiea! Come on!

--Skypiea!
--How are we gonna get there?

What?

This map doesn't show how to get there!

Even if there's a sky island,
we don't know the way to get there!

You're the navigator!
Figure something out!

There are some things you can't
just "figure out," you know!

Monsters!

"One Piece
Episode of Skypiea"

"Jaya"

It's good that we arrived
at this island called Jaya,

but if the Log Pose stays like this, we have
no choice but to go to the sky island.

Well, it'll be all right.

All right.

Nami-san! Your "Unprecedented
takoyaki just for ladies" are ready!

Well, I wasn't counting on
you guys from the start.

I got information.

The town drawn on the left is
Mock Town, where we are now.

And you see an X on the other side, right?

I heard a man who doesn't
blend in on Jaya lives there.

Doesn't blend in?

"Eastern Coast, Jaya"

--A...
--Amazing!

Idiots! Look closely.

What the--?! It's just a board?!

What?!

Hello?

I'm coming in!

No one's home...

Hello!

"Noland the Liar"
Hello!

"Noland the Liar"

"Noland the Liar"
A picture book...

A picture book...

This is quite an old book.
It's titled Noland the Liar.

Wow, that's a cool title!

"This is a story from long, long ago...

A story that took place 400 long years ago.

A man named Montblanc Noland
lived in a North Blue country.

Noland, an explorer, always talked
about his incredible adventures.

However, the villagers couldn't tell
if those stories were true or not.

One day, he reported to the king
after coming back from his travels.

"I saw a mountain of gold
on an island in the great sea.'

The courageous king set sail on
the great sea to see if the story was true.

After surviving great adventures,
the king and Noland made it to the island.

However, what they found
there was just a jungle.

In the end, he was sentenced
to death for the crime of lying.

Noland's last words were as follows:

'That's right! The mountain
of gold sank in the sea!"

The king and the others were dumbfounded.

No one believed Noland any longer

because Noland continued to lie
until his very death.

The end."

Liars always end up miserable.

Don't keep looking at me!

Noland the Liar, huh? That takes me back.
I often read it when I was a kid.

You know it, Sanji-kun? But it says
it was published in the North Blue.

Yeah. I was born in the North Blue.

This is a famous story in the North.

There's a weird bird.

You're right.

What are you doing?!

"Montblanc Cricket Last Boss of the Pirate
Group 'Monkey Mountain Allied Force'"

"Montblanc Cricket Last Boss of the Pirate Group
"Monkey Mountain Allied Force'" Who the hell are you?!

Who the hell are you?!

You're after the gold, aren't you? Die!

What?

Hey, Usopp! Go grab Luffy!

G-Got it!

Sanji!

Sanji-kun!

Don't worry. It didn't hit me.

The bends?

Yeah, it's a sickness that
divers sometimes get.

Sorry I caused you trouble.

I thought you were just more
idiots after gold bullion.

Gold bullion?!

Pops, don't get up!

Thank you, Doctor. You're quite skilled.

Your compliment doesn't
make me happy, you fool!

What is it that you wanna ask me?

Pops! Are those giant monkeys your pets?

Is that what you had to ask?!

They're Masira and Shojo.
They're my underlings.

I've been diving into the sea
to search for gold every day.

Nice!

Then, one day, they suddenly came,
saying they wanted to help search for gold.

Well, putting the monkey story aside...

Why even ask?!

I wanna go to the sky island!
Please tell us how to get there!

You believe in the sky island?

What?! There's no sky island?

No one knows...
I know someone who said there is.

But people call him a legendary
big liar, Montblanc Noland.

There's a picture book about him
called Noland the Liar.

What?

I'm Montblanc Cricket.

Noland's my grandad's
grandad's grandad's...

He's my distant ancestor.

The Montblanc family was
driven out of the country then,

and has kept a low profile.

People continue to denounce
our family to this day.

But no one in the family hates him.

Why?

Because Noland was an
extraordinarily honest person.

Noland's last excuse in
the picture book is like this:

"That's right! The mountain
of gold sank in the sea!"

A stupid-looking face is drawn in this book,

but he shed many tears
and died a regrettable death.

Noland insisted that the ruins had
submerged due to crustal movements,

but everyone thought he was making
excuses out of desperation.

In front of the laughing onlookers...

...Noland was executed.

Oh, I see! You're looking for
the city of gold on the seabed

in order to clear the
Montblanc family's name!

No...

If it's there, that's fine.
If it's not there, that's fine, too.

It's not that I want to prove his innocence.

This is a duel with the man, Noland,
who threw a wrench into my life.

I wanna go to the sky island, Pops!

Yeah, I did tell you, right? The witness to
the sky island is that Noland the Liar.

What?! A logbook?!
Could it be Noland's?

He mentions the sky island in it.

What?!

Let's see...

Hurry up!

Don't rush me!

I heard there is a vehicle called
a waver on the sky island.

Oh, yeah! A waver!

What? Let me see!

It also says he saw skyfish.

Skyfish?!

Skyfish, huh?

That's something to look forward to.

It's such a valuable logbook.

Look over here!

"The sound of the giant bell made
of gold resonated far and wide."

So there's a gold bell!

And here! "I saw gold
in the skull's right eye."

You're so quick at finding
where it mentions gold.

There's a strange phenomenon that
occurs in these waters a few times a month.

It'll turn to night even though
it's the middle of the day.

There are clouds known as
"Imperiocumulus Clouds."

When those giant clouds
appear high in the sky,

even sunlight is blocked out, bringing
afternoon "nighttime" to the ground.

Listen. If a sky island really does exist,

that'd be the only possible place!

What do you mean?

Go above the Imperiocumulus Clouds
by getting on the Monstrous Current!

A current that shoots up into the air.

That is called a Monstrous Current.

The accepted theory goes like this:

Deep beneath the sea floor,
there are large cavities,

and low-temperature
sea water seeps into them.

The heat from the earth below
turns that water into steam,

and the resulting pressure causes
a huge explosion on the sea floor.

It occurs five times a month.

But if the sky island doesn't show up
above the current when we rise up,

we'll all slam into the sea surface
and end up at the bottom of the sea.

We reinforced your ship.

Masira and Shojo did their job.

Strength, speed, weight...

All the adjustments are done.

Go for it!

Let's go to the sky island!

How exciting!
I thought we got blown away!

The ship's going straight up a pillar
of water! How is this happening?!

We're not gonna fall?!

All right! Go, Merry!
Now we can go into the sky at once!

It was falling...

Yeah, it was...

Definitely falling...

What should we do?!
Is that what'll happen to us?!

We'll die! We'll slam into the sea and die!

Spread the sails! Right away!

What?

This is the sea! Not just a pillar of water!
It's a rising current!

And the wind blowing from
below is a rising air current

produced by the geothermal heat
and steam explosion!

If we're dealing with wind
and sea, I can navigate it!

Who's this ship's navigator?!

You are, Nami-san!

We're gonna fall! We're gonna
fall, Nami! Do something!

No, we can make it!

Awesome! The ship is flying!

Is this for real?!

Nami-san! You're wonderful!

We did it!

Kid! There's one thing that's a definite fact.

No one in history's ever disproved
the city of gold or the sky island.

Right!

People might laugh and call it
foolish logic, but it's enough for me.

That's what romanticism is all about!

What's that?

A wall of clouds?!

We can't slow down...
We'll plunge into it like this!

Can't... Can't breathe...!

What's happening?!

An ocean in the sky?

Clouds?!

We're in the clouds?
How are we staying on them?!

Of course you can stay on them!
They're clouds!

No, you can't!

You sure?!

"God's Temple, Upper Yard"

For six years...

"God"
For six years...

"God"

"God" ...I've been living in
this God's temple and finally...

...I've been living in this
God's temple and finally...

...the Maxim is complete.

"The Sky Island's One and Only
God Eneru" ...the Maxim is complete.

"The Sky Island's One and Only
God Eneru"

"The Sky Island's One and Only God Eneru” I wish
I could say that, but it is almost finished.

"The Sky Island's One and Only
God Eneru"

Oh, then...

Must be hard to talk while
you're biting your lower lip.

How careless of me.

So let's put an end to
this island and set forth...

...for the world of dreams!

What's the matter?

A group of seven...

They're trying to invade my country.

Only the almighty God Eneru could
tell that! He's out of our league!

Somebody, give unto them Heaven's Judgment!

I am the God.

Wh-What the...?!

What?! What's going on?! A lobster?!

Where is he gonna take us?!

Ask the lobster!

What is this?! A river of clouds?!

I don't think it's naturally occurring.

It's definitely unnatural!

Something's written there!

"Godland"...

..."Skypiea"?

An island!

It's a sky island!

Are you Blue Sea people?

What's that? Who are you?!

I am the Sky Knight.

"Blue Sea people" is the term for
those who live beneath the clouds.

In other words, did you come up here
from the Blue Sea?

Yeah. That's right.
Old guy, what are you drinking?

This? Pumpkin juice. It's my favorite.

That sounds delicious.

Hey! There are so many other important
things that we have to ask!

Is that a skyfish?!

I wonder if it tastes good!

Hey!

Pierre!

"'Sky Knight' Gan Fall"

"'Sky Knight' Gan Fall"
I am the Sky Knight!

"'Sky Knight' Gan Fall"

"'Sky Knight' Gan Fall"
Gan Fall!

"'Sky Knight' Gan Fall"

--Yay!

--Old guy, you're strong!
--Yay!

Oh, no!

Mouton Mallet!

Dragon Twister!

Gum-Gum... Gatling!

"Coots A Resident of
Skypiea" "Su A Cloud Fox"

"Coots A Resident of Skypiea" "Su A Cloud Fox"
My name is Coots. This is Su, a cloud fox.

"Coots A Resident of
Skypiea" "Su A Cloud Fox"

"Coots A Resident of Skypiea" "Su A Cloud
Fox" Thank you for saving me from danger.

"Coots A Resident of
Skypiea" "Su A Cloud Fox"

"Coots A Resident of Skypiea”™
"Su A Cloud Fox" Heso!

Heso!

H-Heso?

Hey, what is this vehicle?

Oh, it's a waver.

So this is a waver!

How does it work?

There's no sail to catch the wind...
How did you propel it on the sea?

Oh, you mean you're not familiar with dials?

Dials?

Seashells like this. This is
a little small, but it's a Wind Dial.

The waver moves by blowing wind
that was stored in this Wind Dial.

Oh...

That's amazing!

Guys!

Hey, she's riding it!

How awesome! This is like a dream!

Yahoo!

Yeah! It's so cool!

Gee! I can ride it, too!

Hey!

What is he doing?

Seems like he's a power-user,
but this sea has no bottom.

What?!

Jeez! He almost dropped
through the bottom!

I felt... my foot...
coming out of... the cloud...

Heso! I found you, criminals!

Criminals?!

Did we do something?

Who are you?

"Satori of the Forest God's Vassal
of Skypiea" My name is Satori!

"Satori of the Forest
God's Vassal of Skypiea"

"Satori of the Forest God's Vassal of Skypiea"
You guys entered this country without permission.

"Satori of the Forest
God's Vassal of Skypiea"

"Satori of the Forest God's Vassal of Skypiea™
I'm going to punish you in the name of God Eneru!

I'm going to punish you
in the name of God Eneru!

The almighty God Eneru
watches over everything.

You guys will be sacrifices to God!

Cut the crap!

You wanna fight, right? You got it!

Criminals must be punished!

Die!

Surprise Ball Attack! Ball Dragon!

I should just beat you, right?

Oh, you're going to stretch?

Gum-Gum-- What?

Pistol!

Damn you!

Oh, I see! An upper kick
with the right foot...

Collier... What?!

Sanji!

Luffy!

Those two got beaten so easily!

God's vassals use Mantra!

Mantra?

What's with him?!
He predicted my movements!

And regular hits have no effect on Luffy!

It's not a regular hit!

That's the Impact Dial.

It's different from a hit.
It's an impact!

That's right! The shock destroys
the body from the inside!

Damn!

What the...?!

Chopper!

Su!

Nami!

They got kidnapped?!

That's the Lobster Express!

If you don't stop it soon,
they'll be taken to Upper Yard!

Upper Yard?

That's God's island!
It's where the sacrificial altar is!

God?

Let me borrow this!

Navigator-san isn't enough.
Is there another boat?

Yes! Over there!

Zoro!

Look after Nami and the others!

I'll catch up with you
after I beat this jerk!

Got it.

"Upper Yard
The Island Where God Lives"

Oh, no! It seems like Shura
is headed for the sacrificial altar!

Huh? Who's Shura?

He's God's vassal! He can fly like me!

He's "Sky Rider" Shura!

This is...

"'Sky Rider' Shura God's Vassal of
Skypiea™ "Fuza A Riding Roc" This is...

"'Sky Rider' Shura God's Vassal
of Skypiea™ "Fuza A Riding Roc"

"'Sky Rider' Shura God's Vassal of Skypiea™
"Fuza A Riding Roc" ...the sacrificial altar.

"'Sky Rider' Shura God's Vassal
of Skypiea™ "Fuza A Riding Roc"

"'Sky Rider' Shura God's Vassal of Skypiea™
"Fuza A Riding Roc" And you guys are...

And you guys are...

...the sacrifices.

--Just give up--

--No!
--Just give up--

--Just give up--

--No!
--Just give up--

Oh, how annoying!

All you do is run?!

Whoa! It burns?!

No! Don't burn the Merry!

In order to more deeply
realize your own fault,

offer your life to God!

No!

Su!

Die!

No!

Sorry to have kept you waiting!

Sky Knight!

Hmph! It's the senile previous God!

He is quite good.
He is a worthy opponent.

Let's get rough with him, Pierre.

Gan Fall!

You dare to step into Upper Yard
and get in the way of my judgment!

Sky... Knight...!

And you dare to rebel against God Eneru!

There's no telling what will come out!
That's my "Ball Challenge"!

Surprise Cloud Strike! Go!

Oh, no! Go away!

Huh?

A dud...

What?! You scared me! This crap...

Did it scare you?

Now, a bunch of gunpowder
balls... Ball Dragon!

Here we go!

Luffy! Dodge!

Damn!

Luffy!

Why are you running the same way?!

Oh, yeah!

What?!

Oh, I see! It was
controlled by this string.

I'll take care of this thing!

What impudence!
Just hang on and come to me!

What?!

Don't hang on with the other hand, too!

That was close!
What an unbelievable idiot!

You're right. That was close.

Yeah, it was... No! You're still alive?!

Get off of me! You idiot! Idiot!

Don't let him go, Luffy!

Don't ever let go of that doughboy!

Oh, Sanji! You're alive?!

I almost died because of you!
Pay more attention to others!

--I'm alive, too...

--Well, in any case,
--I'm alive, too...

helpless ladies are waiting
for me to come to their rescue.

Let's finish this up!

Doughboy!

Stop it! Stop it!

It hu--

Concasser Crush!

It hurts!

"Hidden Cloud Village
Statue of Great Warrior Calgara"

"Hidden Cloud Village Statue of Great Warrior
Calgara" Your Mantra is saying so, Aisa?

"Hidden Cloud Village
Statue of Great Warrior Calgara"

Yeah.

You can't hear one voice anymore.

Yes, I think it's Satori, God's vassal.

"Warrior Wyper
A Shandorian"

"Warrior Wyper A Shandorian"
And Shura is the one who got hurt.

"Warrior Wyper
A Shandorian"

"Warrior Wyper A
Shandorian™ I see!

II see!

Now is our chance!

Upper Yard is rattled right now!
This is the opportunity of a lifetime!

Don't fear God!

We vow to the Great Warrior Calgara
to bring back the Light of Shandora!

Yeah!

Wyper! Don't we have to take care of them?

Not now! It's more important that...

...we don't miss this chance!

They're gone...

Looks like we're not their targets.

Who are they?

They're... the Shandorians!

They're guerrillas who rebel against
God Eneru and his vassals.

"'Sky Breeder' Ohm
God's Vassal of Skypiea"

"'Sky Boss' Gedatsu
God's Vassal of Skypiea"

That was close!

I almost got involved.

Don't tell me... this island is...

Sky Knight!

What did you do?! I can't move!

Is something wrong, Gan Fall?!

This is my String Challenge!

Don't assume you can match me in midair!

If you want a shoulder, you can have one.

An impact, huh?! Such things can't defeat me!

No, it's ten times the energy.

Reject!

The long-standing battle between
the Shandorians and the people

who live on the sky island...

It began 400 years ago...

...when the Great Warrior Calgara,
who was protecting Shandora,

the city of gold, met a man.

"400 Years Ago"

Calgara was a brave warrior who
single-handedly sank many pirate ships

to protect his people.

"Great Warrior Calgara"
to protect his people.

"Great Warrior Calgara"

That year, they had a bad crop, and the
Shandorians became sick one after another.

They feared it was the work of an evil spirit,

and decided to offer the Kashi God,

a giant snake believed to be the village's
protective god, a young girl as a sacrifice.

At the same time,
a visitor arrived on the island.

"Montblanc Noland Admiral of an Expedition Ship From Lvneel Kingdom
of North Blue" A the same time, a visitor arrived on the island.

"Montblanc Noland Admiral of an Expedition
Ship From Lvneel Kingdom of North Blue"

"Montblanc Noland Admiral of an Expedition Ship From Lvneel
Kingdom of North Blue" His name was Montblanc Noland.

His name was Montblanc Noland.

As soon as he entered the forest, he noticed
the plague that was ravaging the island.

It's the Kinetsu plague.
He hasn't been treated at all.

Doctor! Do we have any Conine left?!
Inject this lad and all of us immediately!

In exchange for this girl's life,

please save our village!

The ceremony is over.

You must've been really frightened.
You're safe now! There's no need to die!

I am an explorer from the North Blue,
Montblanc Noland--

It doesn't matter who you are!

Is this how you've eliminated all the few,
yet vital, advancements?!

You're in no place to criticize!
Atone to the gods where you stand!

There! Use that knife to take your life!

What?!

A sacrifice meant to save the village,
crying because she wants to live...

Have you no shame?!

Don't be a fool!

Stop!

The deadly sin of God-killing!
You, alone, won't be enough!

You and all your men
will pay with your lives!

"Lives" this, "sacrifices" that!
Will those make your gods happy?!

These ceremonies are insults to all of us!

Give me time!

I'll banish this so-called curse of yours!

And if I can't, you can do whatever you like!

In return, if I do save
this village from tragedy,

swear to me you'll never
hold these ceremonies again!

To save the village from the crisis,
Noland went into the forest alone,

but at that time, suddenly,
an anomaly appeared on the earth.

Noland got stuck in a fissure
and couldn't get himself out.

Calgara, who believed in gods, thought
that they gave him a crushing blow.

What you're doing is less than human!

You think so?

Even if the girl you saved yesterday...

...was my daughter?!

You would tell your own daughter
to end her life?!

It's you people who don't
understand how much power there is

in the words our Pandori
hear from the gods!

Obeying them is the way of this village!

I can't beg an exception
just because she's my child!

The Kashi God?!
It must be the Kashi God's child!

Sixty years ago, my own land
lost hundreds of thousands of lives

to the Kinetsu plague that
is ravaging your village now!

But, in recent years, there've been
absolutely no deaths to this disease!

Do you know why?!

Because we discovered a cure for it!

What I'm holding in my right hand
is the bark of a Cona tree!

The Conine I can extract
from it is the cure!

If I return with this,
I can save the village!

Do you know how many man-hours
have been spent around the world,

and how many victims there have been?!

And you people are trampling
all over this great advancement!

That's why I say your "ceremonies”
are insults to those people!

Are you that afraid of gods?!

Answer me.

What did I just kill?!

A snake.

No!

I just broke our commandments
and killed a god!

But you call it a snake!

And you call the deadly curse that
kills our villagers a curable disease!

Will you really save my beloved village?!

Can you save it?!

I can!

Hey, Calgara! Look at this!

What a shock! I didn't know
that snake had a grandchild...

"That snake"?

A snake, huh?

Soon, the village was saved
by the cure that Noland made.

"Shandora, City of Gold"

"Shandora, City of Gold"
The city of gold...

"Shandora, City of Gold"

It's like I'm dreaming!

This bell's ringing has words to it.

Words?

So that the spirits of our ancestors
who were greeted by the heavens

can return to this land at
any time without getting lost,

we continue to ring this bell,
as a way to say, "We are right here."

We call this bell the "Light of Shandora."

That explains why it has
such a majestic sound!

Do you think so?!

Yes!

I heard this bell in a storm...

...where it shouldn't have been audible.

Noland and his people thought
they had a good relationship

with the Shandorians,
but one day, they were rejected.

The reason was that Noland and the
others had, without permission,

cut down Ancestor Trees that
were important to the Shandorians.

Botanist, my ass!

But that was a misunderstanding.

I see. Those trees were where
their ancestors' spirits dwell...

We've done something
that can never be taken back...

The villagers are right to be angry.

But, Admiral!
We had no choice, given--

No excuses! I only did what satisfied me!

I'm told that aside from
proclaiming the city's existence,

that bell also served to guide
their ancestors' spirits to the island.

And we cut down...

...those trees!

What?!

Leave all the gold behind?!

Dad! Go quickly and stop them!

Don't be a fool!
You know what they've done!

If we part now, we'll regret it
for the rest of our lives!

It'll probably sound like an excuse...

...but for the admiral's honor,
I must say this.

Those woods of yours were already dead.

What?!

The true horror of the Kinetsu plague
is that it can also infect plant life.

It was because he knew this

that the admiral pleaded with you
without regard for his own life.

From people to forest, forest to people...

Several small islands have been
destroyed in exactly that way.

But there's nothing to worry about now.

We finished checking
the entire forest yesterday.

I'm sorry that we cut down your beloved
woods without knowing or explaining...

It'd probably still be unforgivable
even with an explanation,

but a botanist would never harm
a forest without good reason.

The admiral doesn't hate
gods and spirits and stuff...

It's just that he always knows...

...what's most important.

I'm sorry, Noland!

Don't go yet!

At that moment, the bell rang loudly.

As though it was trying to rebuild
a precious friendship

that was almost lost to a misunderstanding.

It rang beautifully.

Noland!

Calgara...

Come back again!

Noland...

I'll be waiting for you here!

I'll keep on ringing the bell!

So that your ship won't get lost
at sea when you return...

So that you won't lose sight
of this island during a storm...

I'll ring this bell and wait for you!

Let's meet again... my friend!

It's okay to come back?

I will... I will come back again!

We'll meet again! I promise you!

Oh! There it is! The Going Merry!

Nami-san! Robin-chan! Coots-chan!

Seems like they're all okay!

Hey!

According to Noland's picture book,
when he revisited Jaya years later,

the ruins of gold were no longer there.

We know why now.

Before Luffy and the others returned,
Zoro, Robin, and I went to check.

Look over here!

Is that...?

The "city of gold" that once existed
on the ground and was seen by Noland...

...didn't sink into the ocean.

For 400 years...

This part of Jaya has been...
flying in the sky all this time!

This is the other half of the island that
was ripped up. This island was part of Jaya!

See! This is how Jaya looked 400 years ago!

Whoa! It looks like a skull!

Well?

Awesome!

Noland was referring to
the shape of the entire island.

But only half of it is left now,
so nobody could solve the mystery!

I see!

Then, the "skull's right eye" is...

Right here!

"I saw gold in the skull's right eye."

Treasure!

We did it!

Way to go, Nami-san!

It's a nice morning.

I no longer have to hear the voices
of the same old lower-world losers.

You guys, even if you're only doing it
to kill your boredom, you're too careless.

Like Satori and Shura,

if you have a pathetic showing,
I won't take you to the Endless Varse!

Then, it's complete?

Now, let's play the game!

Everyone, look at the map.

We're here now.
The search team will go this way.

This "right eye" should
have some sort of ruins,

so watch out for enemies
and bring some gold back!

You make it sound so simple...

All right, let's get going!

Yeah!

Chopper, you've got a lot of spunk!

I thought this forest would be
a scarier place, but it's not so bad!

Run! It's a giant snake!

How the hell can something
so big move so fast?!

Poison?!

I think we should run away...

Definitely.

Yikes!

It is said that Upper Yard appeared
in Skypiea some 400 years ago.

Until then, Skypiea had been
a peaceful sky island.

Items from the Blue Sea that sporadically
rode up the Monstrous Current

were valuable to the sky people.

Sky people?

That's us who live in Skypiea.

Okay.

All the earth on the sky islands
came into the sky in this way.

But earth the size of Upper Yard
was an unimaginable miracle.

Neither greenery nor soil is
naturally found in the sky.

We call the earth "Varse"
with a sense of admiration.

And those people who shot up
into the sky with the Varse

are the Shandorians, indigenous
people living on Upper Yard.

So those guerrillas originally lived
on Jaya in the world below?

Yet you guys kicked them off the island?

Yes. The sky people stole their homeland
due to their own greed.

The Shandorians are simply trying
to take back their homeland.

Wyper!

You wanna die?! I can't believe
you used the Reject Dial!

If you use it one more time,
your body's gonna blow up!

Wyper!

I'm a descendant of
the Great Warrior Calgara!

I'll take back the Varse... and bring
back the Light of the Shandorians!

The Light of the Shandorians?

It's impossible...

The bell of the Shandorians... doesn't exist!

You think I didn't know?!

You've searched through Upper Yard,
but you can't find the bell!

It's just a myth!

Shut up!

Today...

...Eneru's head will roll!

Who is this "God Eneru"?

Until six years ago, I was God.

Did you hit your head, old man?

When I was God, he suddenly appeared
from some sky island

and took control of Upper Yard.

My Divine Squad was defeated by them

and is now being forced to do
hard labor somewhere.

That's already over.

Eneru!

It's been a while,
former God Gan Fall!

You son of a--

I won't hurt you as long as you
stay quiet. Understood?

What are you up to?!
Give me back my subordinates!

They worked very hard for me.

Thanks to them, I have no use
for this island anymore.

Oh, I decided to play a game!

What?!

It's a game in which
the survivors are winners!

The participants are 50 from my side.

Twenty Shandorians.

From the Blue Sea people,
the four that entered the forest.

And the one here.

Me, too?!

The wounded old man
can't fight, obviously.

Seventy-five people in total!

How many of them will remain after
three hours? That's the point of the game!

How many do you think?

Five!

Wait! Eneru!

This is terrible!

I wish Chopper were here...

I'm sorry, but I've got to chase Eneru!

Hey! Are you gonna leave us ladies?!

Jeez!

Thus, on Upper Yard,
the survival game between

the Straw Hats, Eneru's Divine Squad,
and the Shandorians began.

One Million Volt Varie!

Whoops. Twenty voices
disappeared after that discharge.

Cloven...

...Cross!

I can go below!

This is Shandora, the city of gold!

What was that?!

Burn...

Gum-Gum...

--...Bazooka!
--...Bazooka!

I think I recognize this place...

Or not...

No, I do.

Did you laugh just now?! Huh?!

Hey! Wait!

Hey! Dammit!

Let go!

Ruins up here, too!

What's with this place?!
The ground's all crooked...

What?

What are you looking for?

The gold you're looking for
isn't here any longer.

Come to think of it, I can't find any.
It must be you who took it from here.

Gold is a nice thing.
That glittering metal suits me well.

Then you took the golden bell
that used to be here, too?

Golden bell?

Hey, let me down! You stupid bird!

You little--!

That took its toll...!

That bird's gonna pay!

Chopper!

Such a shame.

Do you want to get
revenge now or something?

I don't like to fight with a motive.

But...

...I can feel one coming on.

The Dial Boat in the back
seems worn out, so I'll go check.

Okay.

Nami-san?

No!

No! Go away!

Golden bell, huh?

What did you learn by reading the letters?

Nothing. Unfortunately, if it wasn't
here when you first came,

it didn't come to the sky after all.

No, wait... Yes! It's here.

It's here... in the sky!

When this island was blown
into the sky 400 years ago,

it's said that the chimes of a bell rang.

I see! That bell was made of gold!

Wonderful!

I've already taken aim at your heart.

Pray to God, swordsman from the Blue Sea!

You fool! I'll never pray to God!

First, 36-pound...

Second, 72-pound...

Third, 108-pound...

Three-Sword Style!

108-Pound Phoenix!

No way... The Iron Clouds were repelled!

No!

What is that Blue Sea person doing?!

What?!

Sango Smash!

Oh, the weird knight!

Damn!

What're you--?!

I invited your friends here!

Why have this many chunks
of ruins fallen from above?

Swordsman-san! Don't tell me you fell
all the way down here with these...

The giant snake is acting strange.

It looks like it's looking for something...
Hey, weird knight!

Pierre! Stay with me!

What happened to that bird?!

I guess when he landed,
he hit his head hard.

Is it possible... that this place is...?

This is our homeland?

The bell! Where's the bell?!

It's not here.

Eneru!

Oops!

Ball Cloud!

Wait a little.

The game isn't over yet.

Game, you said?!

I started a survival game three hours ago.

My guess was that there'd be
five survivors including me.

That's exactly five people, right?
Good, he hasn't noticed I'm here.

In three minutes, it'll be three hours.

In other words, it won't do if
there're six people here right now.

Doh! He knew!

God's prophecy cannot fail.
Let's see, who shall disappear?

You are the one who should disappear!

A bad choice.

What an annoying snake!

El Thor!

A Devil Fruit's power?!

It's probably the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Among the many kinds of powers,
it's one of those said to be "invincible."

The power of lightning!

Eneru!

I've just come from God's temple up above.

A tragedy... It was utterly destroyed!

Just what is your goal?!

There is a place I must return to.

Land has a place for land!
Humans have a place for humans!

And the God has a place for the God!
Each has a place to which it must return!

D-Don't tell me you...

That's right. I will drag down
every human from this sky!

Return everything to nothing!

What?!

You're going to destroy the country!

That is only natural.

Don't be conceited, Eneru!

This is a world of humans!
There is no such thing as "God"!

20 Million Volt...

...Varie!

Well, it's exactly the time that I prophesied.

Now there are five!

I'm glad you've survived!

I shall bring you along with me
to the Endless Varse that I'm setting off to!

And what if we refuse?

What?

Who said we're coming with you?

We just want you to get out of our way!

Oh, boy...

Then...

...you'd better die here.

Robin!

She's a woman!

I can see that.

Until I teach your body a lesson,
you probably won't understand

our overwhelming difference in power.

Burn Bazooka!

Kari Krash!

Can't be! He erased
the bazooka's powerful fire!

You still don't get it, do you?

The energy that you can handle
is nothing to me.

30 Million Volt...

...Hino Bird Zap!

Lightning Beast Kiten!

I don't believe it...! Even Zoro!

Follow me... I'll show you
something interesting.

"God"

"God"
This is the Ark Maxim.

"God"

"God" In this ship, we can
travel to the Endless Varse!

"God"

This can't be real...

I made it out!

Cool! Where am I?!

It looks like ruins.

So it's here? The huge golden bell?

Zoro! Hey! What're you doing?!

How could this happen...

...when you were here?!

Luffy...

Robin!

Navigator-san... was taken.

As I thought, it's apparently not
one of the five that survived...

What?

How truly irritating...
It means my prophecy was wrong.

Are you the guy? Are you Eneru?!

Luffy!

What did you do... to my crew?

Watch your mouth! I am the God.

I don't see anything God-like about you!

I don't see anything God-like about you!

You'll know soon enough.

You're only a Paramethia.
You haven't got a chance!

Luffy!

El Thor!

Luffy...

It seems that you dodged it well...

60 Million Volt Lightning Dragon!

Luffy!

100 Million Volt Varie!

Is it possible that lightning
doesn't affect Luffy?

Stop it!

Because he's rubber?

It could be... that Luffy
is Eneru"s one and only...

...natural enemy!

What the hell... are you?!

I'm Luffy. I'm a pirate and a rubber man.

Rubber?

Lightning doesn't work on me!

Mantra...

Gum-Gum--

Gum-Gum... Gatling!

Luffy!

Once I know lightning won't work,
I'll fight accordingly.

Max 200 Million Volt Varie!

Don't tell me...

I don't have time to play
with the likes of you.

I'm God.

I am creating the world as I see fit.

What is that?!

It's a thundercloud.

Look! Something is floating in the sky!

Everyone! Please escape right away!

Eneru is planning on obliterating this island!

Huh? He what?!

Don't be ridiculous!

She's telling the truth!

There is an imminent danger!
Everyone! Leave the country!

What creepy clouds...

What on earth is he up to?

Luffy and Navigator-san
are on that ship, too?

What's that?! The thunderclouds
are turning spherical...

I'll show you something interesting.

Witness true divine power!

The sky's falling!

Kingdom Come!

Feast your eyes, rubber man,
on the falling island's despair.

No one can stop it now.

Stop it!

Luminous Forge!

Ow! Ouch!

Luffy!

Oh, no! Luffy!

Damn you! Fight me! Eneru!

He's just an idiot whose body
happens not to be affected by lightning!

I don't want...

If I have to abandon those guys
and go with you like this,

I don't want any of it anymore!

Including your life?

Or would you rather place your hope
in the two rats that've snuck on?

What?

It seems they're serious
about rescuing you.

How utterly ridiculous.

Do you remember the name of
the Great Warrior Calgara's close friend?

Montblanc Noland.

That's right. Calgara vowed he'd
keep on ringing the bell for him.

"Bring back the Light of Shandora"?

Right. But the sound of the bell
didn't reach Noland.

Marie Jois has...

...finally granted us permission
to enter the Grand Line.

As such, I wish to send you
on another mission.

Yes, it would be my pleasure!

But I've decided my soldiers will
join you on this journey, as will I.

Understood?

Yes!

Calgara!

Seto.

You're off to ring the bell, right? I'll help.

Hey, Nola. You've sure
settled into these ruins!

Say! When do you suppose
Noland-san and the others will come?

That's all you ever ask when you come here.

It won't be so easy for him to come back.

He was born in the far northern seas.
He also has a family back home.

But he did promise.

As long as we keep ringing this bell here,
he'll show up sooner or later...

What's this?! This looks bad!

Come, Seto! We have to
protect the village!

Why?

Why does the island drop off here?

You fool! Did you deceive me?!

Where is all the gold you said there'd be?!

Where did the village go?!

What happened to this island?!

Calgara! If you're alive, let me hear it!
The sound of the gold bell!

Answer me, Light of Shandora!

Noland's public execution's about to start!

Hey! This way, guys!

Six years ago,

I saw a giant city of gold on
the Grand Line island called Jaya!

The city of gold does exist!

Then let's hear from one of your crewmen.

Is this man telling the truth?

No. It's an absolute lie.

What?! Noland-san is a liar?!

Then were all his stories fake?!

What a horrific man! He lied to the
whole kingdom and acted like a hero!

Who's that witness?!
He's not part of our crew!

Did you see Calgara and the others?!

Admiral! What happened?!

Seize them!

Dammit!

M-Men...

For his heinous lies, Montblanc Noland
the Explorer is hereby sentenced...

...to death by beheading!

Liar!

--Liar!
--Liar!

He's a liar!

The admiral'd never lie!

Admiral!

Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar...!

At that time, the bell rang.

It truly sounded like a voice singing
in praise of that miraculous land.

God-sama! It's a giant Varse!

Yes. Did you hear that? The singing
voice of this beautiful Varse...

It is truly the birth of holy land.
That is where...

...I must live!

What happened?!

What is this?! I can't breathe well!

Is everyone all right?!

Pull yourselves together!

Tend to the wounded! Hurry!

Calgara! Intruders!

I hereby claim this Varse
as mine! I am God!

That's no God!

Stop them, warriors!

We cannot let him take this land!

We made a promise, didn't we, Noland...?

We said we'd meet again someday.

Calgara... Where are you now?

When you return to Jaya, what will you
think when you see we're gone?

Just wait a little longer!
I'm going to tell you!

That we're right here!

Are you alive...?

I have so much to tell you...

Calgara...

I'm just worried for your safety...

Let's meet again someday,
no matter what, Noland!

Bring back the Light of Shandora!

Bring back... the Light of Shandora!

Robin!

Luffy?!

What's that gold on your arm?!

Robin! The gold bell is at
the top of this vine, right?!

What?!

And Eneru's after it, right?!

That's right!

All right, then!

The bell! The gold bell is up there?!

You're going for it, too?
If it does exist, it'd have to be there.

But Eneru's already after it.

Where are my shooter and bazooka?

Your shoes were smashed up,
so I left them below. Your bazooka, too.

What?!

When I transported you, I noticed
that you were all beat up.

Thunder Ball!

You amuse me, girl.

It worked! But...

But it won't help you
if I change the scale!

I'm busy. Begone!

You begone!

Special Attack! Exploding Star!

...I'm
sorry!

Usopp!

So it was you, huh?
I met you on the boat...

Glance--

Usopp!

Nami!

What?

Save me.

Screw that!

The waver! Let's jump off on that!

Jump off?! Are you crazy?!
At this height--

If we can land on the Island Clouds
in the center of the forest...!

I see!

Usopp! Grab on!

Usopp!

Go.

Sanji-kun!

El...

...Thor!

So they jumped off... But they
haven't escaped me in the slightest.

Hey, God...

There's one thing I wanted to say...

No, but first...

Thanks...

I was just thinking...
how I wanted a light...

And? What else?

Oh...

Drop dead...

No... you didn't!

Damn you! What were you
doing inside the ship just now?!

Damn you, Blue Sea person!

Nami fell safely onto some Island Clouds!

Usopp Hopping!

Long-nose-kun?!

Yes.

There they are!

Navigator-san!

What? Luffy went up?!

Yes.

Okay. I'll go after him on the waver!

We gotta get off this island!

This ship is not so easily brought down.

Now, then. I'm above Giant Jack.

I doubt anyone would come
searching for something

in these skies above God's temple.

Where is the golden bell...?

Brilliant!

This is the great bell tower, the pride
of the legendary city, Shandora!

Wonderful!

As the God, I'll take this with me
and finish my ascent to the Endless Varse!

Luffy!

What? Nami! What're you doing here?!

It's bigger than the last one! That bastard!

Luffy! Get on so we can go back down!

I can't.

You can't? Why not?!

Even if I don't have to save you now,
I still have unfinished business here!

Will you quit it, already?! You--

You saw it yourself!

Saw what?

The city of gold... it existed!

What?

He's gonna ring the bell?

Yeah.

It is important that we, the inheritors
of Calgara's wishes, ring that bell!

What does this have to do with Straw Hat?!

Four hundred years ago, an explorer
told a lie that he saw the city of gold.

Although people laughed at him,
his descendants believed his words

and are still searching for this city of gold.

That's why Luffy...

It wasn't a lie!

He wasn't lying!

So I have to let the old guy
and the others below know...

...that the city of gold was in the sky!

Luffy...

I can't let Eneru take it!

I'm sure the huge bell can
be heard from anywhere...

...so I'm gonna ring that golden bell!

Oh! Watch out!

Some... Something's falling!
Everyone, heads down!

What?

What's that?

"Cut down this huge vine
so it falls towards the west."

Is it from Nami?!

Reject!

We're gonna jump, Luffy!

Okay!

Here I come, Eneru!

Gimme the golden bell!

They're a bunch of...

Enough of this! I'm sick of you!

Kingdom Come!

Disappear with the land!

Nami, thanks! There's no way
I'll let your help go to waste!

Huh? What?!

Gum-Gum Fireworks!

Golden Peony!

What is this abnormal electric discharge?!

That's right...! He has gold, which can
transmit electricity, on his hand!

Let the sun shine!

Ring it! Straw Hat!
The "Light of Shandora"!

Here I come! I'll ring it,
and you right along with it!

You insolent brat!

200 Million Volt Amaru!

Gum-Gum...

...Golden Rifle!

Reach!

Reach!

When you return to Jaya, what will you
think when you see we're gone?

Just wait a little longer!
I'm going to tell you!

That we're right here!

Bring back the Light of Shandora!

I saw a giant city of gold on
the Grand Line island called Jaya!

The city of gold does exist!

Reach!

No one in history's ever disproved
the city of gold or the sky island.

That's what romanticism is all about!

Reach!

Sorry to have kept you waiting
so long, Montblanc Noland.

I hope this reaches your descendants!

Can you hear it?! Old diamond-head!

Monkeys!

The city of gold was...

...there!

This is romanticism.

My ancestor wasn't a liar.

You rang it to tell me that from the sky...

Right, kid?

The city of gold was there, huh?!

I appreciate it.

The sound of the bell was
the "Light of Shandora,”

which boasted of the glories
of the vanished city.

It declared the end of the fighting with
a love song, the "Song of the Island"...

After being silenced for 400 years,
the golden bell fulfilled its promise.

Once, its people entrusted words
to the sound of that bell.

"We are right here."

It rang...

Yeah.

I wonder... if the old guy
and the others heard it.

Yeah, I'm sure of it.

My heart throbs at the thought of you

Limitless power surges

As long as you wish,
we'll brandish our unchanging bond

We are hope

The joy of letting our true feelings
fly at each other

The pain from how we laughed
our heads off to dry our tears

We connect them together
and in the wind Ah

It's fluttering higher and higher

Why did you give up on your search?

Why do you keep fighting by yourself?

Say, what kind of future
did you prepare for?

Have you fulfilled your dream?

My heart throbs at the thought of you

Limitless power surges

If you're bemused, let's wish quietly
to the world for a sunrise

Close your eyes and listen carefully

Let's look for your answer

As long as you wish,
we'll brandish our unchanging bond

We are hope

At the broad, blue end of the world

There is a place I have
to return to with you

The sea route that we take
decided long ago

in the past
