Do you not realize what kind of danger we're in?
-Shit happens. -What is wrong with you two?
Why are you acting like…
Nami, let me see your leg.
Oh, the cook's gonna be sorry he missed this.
No, I mean that paint, Nami.
You have to get it off.
I'm good.
Do you remember where you are?
I remember everything, but it's like I couldn't control how I felt.
That symbol is the marking of a very dangerous agent
called Miss Goldenweek.
She uses this special hypnotic paint
that alters the victim's emotional state when absorbed into the skin,
literally coloring how you feel.
Breaking that mark is the only way to break her control.
That's some crazy stuff you had to go through, Nami.
I would never let something like that control me.
Hey, laughing guy, you literally have paint on your leg.
-No, I don't. -Yes, you do.
Hey, hey, hey!
I'm ticklish.
Guys, stop messing around. Baroque Works is right outside.
Listen, I keep a lockpick in my boot. If one of us can--
These shackles are made of wax.
There's no lock to pick.
We're gonna just have to hope that one of your crew is looking for us.
Oh no. Usopp.
The last time I saw him, he was falling in a rockslide. I…
I hope he's okay.
What about Sanji?
That guy?
He is definitely lost in the jungle.
-Then we're on our own. -No, we're not.
Luffy is still out there. He'll come for us.
Miss Goldenweek got to him too.
Wherever he is, he is not the Luffy you know right now.
Don't bet against Luffy.
Besides,
we're not dead yet.
That is what I am worried about.
This house, these shackles.
They're the work of Miss Goldenweek's partner, Mr. 3.
Whatever he's planning,
you're gonna wish you were dead.
No need to keep your compliments to yourself.
What do you think of my latest piece?
I love that he's screaming.
Of course you do.
Did our captives give you trouble?
The swordsman and navigator never saw me coming. The princess ran off.
She didn't get far.
There's one more name on the list.
The captain.
-Where is he? -At the beach, having a picnic.
You were supposed to bring him to me.
Well, I want to keep him.
Now, now.
-We've discussed this. -Well, I need a new toy.
Then you shouldn't have broken all of your old ones.
Fine. Maybe you can play with me.
Oh!
On second thought, how can I say no to that face?
Have your fun. When you're done with him, bring him back.
I need him to complete my masterwork.
Looks like a birthday cake. Is it my birthday?
No, pet, but it does have candles.
Now that those giants have been neutralized,
there's no one else to spoil our party.
Hmm.
Luffy! Luffy!
Luffy!
Man, am I glad to see you.
We got a problem. It's Baroque Works. They got Vivi and Nami and Zoro.
They're building some crazy torture device in the middle of a meadow.
It's seriously freaky, man.
I figured if we go get them, you do your Gum Gum thing and, bam,
we can get the hell off this island.
It's all my fault.
No, it is absolutely the fault of those insane assassins.
The lady on the ship warned me.
She said if I didn't take her offer to hide,
Baroque Works would hurt my friends.
And it's all because of me.
Luffy, what's on your face?
All going to die.
Hey. Hey, this isn't you, okay?
Listen. We got this.
You and me.
Captains Usopp and Luffy.
Just like Yasopp and Shanks.
Following our dreams and fighting against anyone that stands in our way.
And I can't do this by myself, so
whatever's going on, you gotta snap out of it. Please.
Come on, Luffy.
We need you. Come on!
Hey, I know things look bad, but you don't give up.
You never give up.
Fa-la-la-la
I'll be back.
La-la-la-la-la-la
-La-la-la-la-la-la -I'm sorry, Usopp.
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la-la
I'm throwing a picnic for my new dolly.
You.
Okay, Usopp. Think. There are four assassins on this island.
First plan. You hide until they all go away.
But then your friends die.
Second plan. You fight them.
And then you die.
Painfully.
Third plan.
You find…
someone else
to fight them.
Sanji.
Sanji!
Nami?
Vivi?
Luffy?
Usopp!
Mosshead.
Well, that's something you don't see every day.
You were right.
This is worse than death.
I trust the three of you are uncomfortable.
So you're Mr. 3.
What gave it away?
Probably the "3" in your… …hair.
We were pretty pissed we didn't get to kill you all at Whisky Peak.
But we'll make up for it by killing you now. Hmm.
You know the problem with some of my associates in Baroque Works?
They're so focused on the work
they forget to be… baroque.
Take these two,
gifted with such glorious devil fruit abilities.
Yet how do they choose to use them?
As killers for hire.
Brutes.
Their deeds will be forgotten by history.
Not mine.
Is this speech the torture?
Nami!
Would you do the honors?
So gross.
Voilà.
Oh!
It's raining wax.
The wax mist sprinkling down on your heads will cover you and harden,
turning your bodies into beautiful wax sculptures.
You should be honored. You're dying for art.
Oh my God.
That's your genius plan?
Hmm?
Wait around for some damn wax to fall?
I wouldn't expect dullards like you to understand.
We're assassins. Let's assassinate them and go home.
I understand we're assassins, but I am an artist.
I could blow them up. You are wasting our time.
Vivi.
-Need I remind you… -Look at Zoro.
-He still has his swords. -My wax will freeze their expressions.
Immortalize their suffering.
The pain. The despair.
The slow death…
…is the entire point.
That's bullshit.
You call yourself an artist?
I've stolen from the finest museums in all of the East Blue,
and your art talk is all crap.
Does my work offend you?
Your work is a lie.
Look at Zoro.
He's not suffering. He's giggling.
Girl's got a point.
Shouldn't have let me keep my swords.
I wouldn't dream of immortalizing Roronoa Zoro without them.
Then there's nothing stopping me from cutting myself free,
and leaving this island with your head.
There he is.
Mmm.
What the hell?
My wax is hard as steel.
Clearly, you're not strong enough to cut it, but do keep trying.
It's highly amusing.
There it is.
That's the reaction I've been looking for.
Mmm.
Nobody ever wanted to play with me until I got my special paint.
Now people do whatever I want.
Green will make you so calm you'd accept your own death.
Yellow will make you laugh through even the most painful torture.
And blue?
Blue will make you sadder than you've ever felt in your whole entire life.
But you already know that.
Tea?
My friends
are going to die.
You're better off without them. Friends let you down.
Not like toys.
When toys stop being fun, you can put them back in the box.
I tried to explain that to my parents, but they didn't understand.
So I painted them too and put them in a box.
They were so noisy in there.
For the first few days.
You're crying.
It's getting boring.
There you go.
Now you can relax and forget all about those silly friends.
How do you like the tea?
I said, how does dolly like the tea?
I'm going to save my
friends.
How do you like the tea?
This tea is delicious.
Good dolly.
Chains, red wine, a whole load of candle wax.
Somebody had a good time here.
Hmm.
What do we have here?
Hmm. Where's my folder?
Well, you guys all got yourselves in trouble again,
and I guess
it's up to old Sanji to save the day.
This is the shitty restaurant. May I take your reservation?
Careful, Mr. 3.
Is that how you speak to your superior?
Oh, my apologies,
Mr. 0.
The Marines have become aware of our movements.
Even with our voices altered,
the use of transponder snails will soon be too much of a risk.
I trust I only need to ask this once.
Are the princess and the Straw Hats dead?
Oh, yes. Lying in a pool of their own blood as we speak, sir.
I'm surprised, Mr. 3.
You usually insist on taking your time.
Yeah, well, I was gonna torture them for longer,
but that green-haired one just really got on my nerves.
He's so annoying.
I couldn't shut him up fast enough, to be honest.
As long as it's done.
I've dispatched the Unluckies to verify and to clean up the mess.
They should be arriving as we speak.
I look forward to welcoming them, sir.
Oh, and I should warn you, Miss Friday hasn't eaten in a while.
Not since that unfortunate incident at the orphanage.
You've gotta be fucking joking.
Sanji. They got you too.
Help!
Somebody help me!
Please!
Brogy?
Brogy!
Brave warrior Usopp.
Brogy, you're alive!
It seems Dorry's sword wasn't sharp enough to grant me a swift end.
But if I am to meet my gods today,
I am glad the last sight I see is the face of a friend.
Whoa, whoa, nobody's meeting any gods.
Your duel wasn't a fair fight.
Someone poisoned your ale.
They wanted to sabotage you.
What villain would do such a thing?
The same people that kidnapped my friends.
They're in trouble right now. They need help.
Say no more.
We will defeat our foes together,
the Elbaph way,
with honor
and steel.
Aah!
You don't look so good.
Perhaps my offer was a bit hasty.
But no matter the danger,
I'm sure Captain Usopp can handle it,
just like in your stories, eh?
What chance do those fiends stand against the Lord of Destruction?
About that…
Look, a mole monster's one thing, but
these Baroque Works guys are different.
They're crazy powerful with
crazy powers.
I understand.
You are scared.
I'm not scared.
Who said scared? I… I didn't say that.
You are small.
And stringy.
And your friends' lives are at stake.
It makes sense you are scared.
Any true warrior would be.
A warrior's fear is a good thing.
It means you care.
Gives you purpose.
I would never trust my life to a warrior who claimed never to have been afraid.
You really believe that?
In the cave, you asked me
how can one face death without fear?
True bravery is not the absence of fear,
but going into battle in spite of it.
I'm not a giant like you.
If I go into battle alone,
I'll die.
An honorable death,
trying to save your friends.
Polly want a cracker?
Is there some trouble, Mr. 3?
I'm gonna have to put you on hold.
Aah!
Sorry.
Your pets are dead.
And I take it the Straw Hats are not?
Tell me, who am I really speaking to?
You can call me…
Mr. Prince.
Then know this, Mr. Prince.
The Straw Hat Pirates will regret ever taking Princess Vivi on board.
And you
will regret taking this call.
Hello, gorgeous.
-It's getting hard to move. -And breathe.
I can't cut through this wax,
but I can cut through my legs.
You're going to cut off your feet? What kind of a plan is that?
Better than being dead.
He's really doing it.
How do you expect to fight them without your legs?
If you're scared to watch, look away!
This is disgusting! Stop it!
At least free the others. I'm the one Baroque Works really wants.
The moment they helped you, they made our list.
You cannot save them, and you're too late to save Alabasta.
He's trying to get under your skin.
How much do you know about your new friend's homeland?
The people there blame their troubles on the king.
-Her father. -My father wants to save my country.
Baroque Works are the ones destroying it.
Whatever the cause, a rebellion is brewing.
It's small, easily contained, until now.
You kept up with the news lately?
"The tides are turning in Alabasta
as thousands of royal soldiers switch sides to join the rebellion."
Thousands? Gee, that sounds like a lot.
-Wonder what changed their mind. -Or who.
Why are you doing this?
What does Baroque Works want from Alabasta?
That's Mr. 0's secret. Sh.
But you got to love the irony.
Alabasta's about to have a civil war,
and the one person who could stop it
is about to die way out here.
Useless.
And alone.
That freak wants us to die scared.
I'm not gonna give him that satisfaction.
Don't worry. Luffy will come.
You lot don't give up, do you?
Are you gonna give up?
On your kingdom?
Don't lose hope.
Trust me. Whatever Miss Goldenweek is doing to Luffy,
I can guarantee he's fighting it.
Red makes you angry at any target I choose.
And a naughty dolly like you
deserves to be punished.
Right now, Mr. 3 is killing your friends.
How does that make you feel?
It makes me furious!
You still want to save your friends?
This is my favorite color.
Did you know, on the color spectrum, black is the absence of light?
On my palette, it's the absence of hope.
That's why I call it Betrayal Black.
It makes you give up on everything you believe in.
Do you have a dream, dolly?
I'm going to find the One Piece,
and I will be King of the Pirates!
Mm-hmm.
Not anymore.
I've always been lonely.
That's my curse.
But yours is much sadder.
It's the same as anyone with a devil fruit.
The sea.
One little dip,
and your dreams will never come true.
Walk into the ocean.
That's it.
Don't look back!
Now, repeat after me.
I will never find the One Piece.
I will never find
the One…
I will never be King of the Pirates.
I…
will…
never…
be…
King…
of… the…
Luffy!
Don't say it!
I'm coming for you, buddy!
You ruined my fun!
Now you'll be my new dolly.
You're not coming anywhere near me, Creepy Longstocking! Whoa!
Ha ha! Whoo!
Luffy! Luffy!
I got you.
Captain Usopp to the rescue!
Come on.
Where's the rest of the crew?
It's almost complete.
Oh, man.
You guys are in for it now.
Who's this joker?
We're the heroes.
I am surprised you managed to escape my partner's colors trap,
but if you're here to save your friends,
you're too late.
Are they dead?
Not quite.
I estimate they have a few minutes of air left in their lungs.
But that's more time than you have.
You did this.
You're the one who ruined the giants' duel too.
That's right. I am the mastermind.
Then you will pay.
Beatdown time, baby.
I'll be right here, buddy. Go get him, Luffy.
Usopp! Let's split up!
Wait! They're gonna die!
I know you'll never let them!
He's not on our list. Doesn't mean we can't kill him though.
You hear that? You're gonna die.
-And we don't even know who you are. -Any last words?
I propose
we settle this like the warriors of Elbaph
with a duel.
Sorry, it's just, um… you versus us.
I don't think that'll be a fair fight.
Which is why I love it.
Okay.
-Which one of us do you want to duel? -Her.
She took Nami.
And I want a rematch.
Fine by me, darling. I've been waiting to kill someone all day.
In Elbaph, traditionally, a duel begins with a gesture of mutual respect.
Like a bow or a handshake.
I'd rather begin
like this!
Whoa!
You're Miss Valentine, right?
You come up with that code name yourself? 'Cause you don't seem very sweet.
I am
incredibly sweet!
Get out here and help me!
Two against one? Not exactly a duel, is it?
Let's talk about your partner! He got a raw deal.
What's his devil fruit again? Exploding boogers?
Hey!
That's just nasty.
You never shut up, do you?
Guess I'll have to make you.
That was 20 kilo.
Fifty kilo!
I can barely feel it.
One hundred kilo!
Why are you smiling?
You're about to die.
An honorable death,
saving my friends.
Uh…
Val?
Thanks for saving us.
Uh-huh.
Let's make this fight a bit more fair. I'll get him.
We'll get her.
We know all about you, Monkey D. Luffy.
Baroque Works always researches our targets.
To learn their strengths.
And especially their weaknesses.
I've studied yours.
You're a bruiser.
You rush in blindly.
Strike without thinking.
I, on the other hand,
always come prepared.
Am I still alive?
Happy Valentine's Day!
-Get away from my friend. -Our friend.
Oh, please, Miss Wednesday. You were never on my level.
Roronoa Zoro,
trapped like a rat.
You love to see it.
Bet you do. It's the only way you stand a chance.
You even know how to fight without those swords?
You know how to fight without picking your nose?
My breeze breath bullets pack one hell of a punch.
Gum Gum Stamp Gatling!
Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!
Night night.
You missed.
You're a real pain in my ass, you know?
How about a pain in your mouth?
Special Tabasco Star!
.
Aah!
Ha!
Cute stick. Seems a bit fragile!
Oops.
You wanted to die looking cool. Now you're going out like a chump!
This is for Igaram.
Zoro!
Surekill Flame Star.
Aah!
Dorry?
How do you like my sculpture?
Gum Gum Pistol!
Hmm.
Aah! Aah!
Candle Lock!
You did that to Dorry.
You don't fight with honor!
But those giants did.
That's what made them such easy targets.
Aah!
Like you.
Trying to punch your way through every problem.
I'll never give up.
Oh, I prefer to view it as you'll never learn.
Aah!
Hmm.
It appears our research was wrong.
You're all too easy to take down.
Almost as easy as those poor, dumb giants.
Those giants were my friends.
And you dishonored them.
Candle Wall!
Gum Gum Hammer!
Luffy! You're okay.
-We are too, somehow. -Usopp saved the day.
-Of course he did. -What the hell happened here?
Sanji!
Hey.
I really can't leave you lot alone, can I?
Where have you been?
Don't worry. I saved the day.
I don't know if you heard, but it was pretty cool.
-Well, look what I found. -Ooh.
-An Eternal Pose? -And it's set to Alabasta.
Oh!
Sanji!
-You're amazing! -I guess I saved the day too.
This is great. We don't have to wait for our Log Pose to reset.
Uh! Mm-mm.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Please!
Before something else tries to kill us.
So we've had dinosaurs.
-Assassins. -Are we forgetting anything else?
Ah, yeah.
The giants.
Dorry was trapped in the wax too, so I set him free.
Did you all know there were giants on this island?
Oh, my dearest friend. I thank the gods you're alive.
And I thank the gods you're alive.
But stop hugging me so tightly, or you'll open my wound.
We're happy that you're both alive.
We giants are a hearty lot.
After you freed me from that wax, I felt good as new.
Oh, yes. And one taste of his stew could bring anyone back from the dead.
What about your duel?
You're not still…
After 100 years with no victor,
we think the gods have made their judgment plain.
I owe you
for what you said back there.
No, I owe you.
Now we have a new tale to tell.
The legend of brave warrior Usopp.
Yeah!
And I have a new dream.
I'm gonna visit Elbaph one day.
Oh, you'll fit right in.
Well, maybe you'll stand out a little.
Princess,
I pray your country is safe.
Thank you, Dorry.
When you sail away,
trust in us, and sail straight ahead no matter what happens.
What? No matter what happens?
-What do you mean, no matter what happens? -See ya! Try not to die anymore!
Hmm.
Hail to the one Follow the great warrior's way
Go on, pray to the sun Pray to the sun
Pray, oh, pray, oh
Luffy? I've diverted you from your journey long enough.
The next ship we pass, I'll ask them for passage.
I'll use the Eternal Pose to get home.
That's too bad.
I already asked Nami to set course to Alabasta.
I… I… I can't ask you to take me.
You didn't have to.
Like I said…
when you see it, you see it.
Our new friends have set sail.
They won't get very far with that monster in the water.
At least, not without our help.
I've fought with my Bruiser axe for over a hundred years.
And I, my Terry sword.
But if our dueling days are over,
I can't think of a better way to say goodbye.
Oh! Guys! There's something swimming right for us!
Is it another dinosaur?
Is it a Sea King?
It's a giant goldfish!
Port the helm!
No!
We sail straight ahead.
Just like Brogy said.
Hakoku…
Sovereignty!
-Whoa! -Whoa.
Did you see that?
Whoo!
That was amazing!
May good fortune be with you!
Excellent shot, my friend.
Equally excellent to yours.
You know, I suddenly recall what started our duel in the first place.
That's right.
We had each taken down an enormous Sea King.
And we were asked which one was bigger.
Mine was, of course.
Hogwash!
The beast I felled was clearly bigger!
Do you question my honor?
Your honor? I question your sanity!
Then perhaps we should settle this once and for all.
With a duel!
Aah!
Damn it. I could've made sushi out of that.
-No. -I take on fish every day.
-Not ones that size, you don't. -Don't you worry about me and size.
Idiots.
See what you've done?
We lost the fight,
your partner lost her mind, and our targets got away… again!
I told you we should've killed them when we had the chance.
He's going to want answers.
I'm going to tell him the truth.
This was all your fault.
You won't be telling him anything.
-Best dinosaur I've ever tasted! -Have you tasted dinosaur before?
No. But I don't think it can taste better than this.
The challenge was finding a pan big enough.
I think we earned a good meal.
That's right!
Hmm. Hmm?
All right, everyone.
Hmm.
To the hero of Little Garden.
Huh?
To Usopp.
To Usopp!
Aren't you gonna tell a story?
I can't.
Okay, so there I was. Me alone, surrounded by six assassins.
-Uh… six? -Maybe there was eight.
They were moving fast. You saw it. Right, Vivi?
Uh… it was too hard to count.
You know, Vivi, I did defeat two Baroque Works agents myself.
Which two?
Miss Friday and Mr. 13.
Wow. What were they like?
I mean, they were, uh…
They were, um…
They're very dangerous opponents.
Yes. Thank you, Vivi.
I think taking down a dinosaur is worth ten Baroque Works agents.
You mean the dinosaur I killed?
-In your dreams, cook. -I did break his neck.
-After I stabbed him. -Never happened.
They will keep this up until they get tired.
Or hungry again. You'll get used to it.
If I saw a dinosaur right now, punch him in the face.
It must be nice to be part of a crew.
Yeah, but it's also nice to have another girl on board.
They're just trying to mess with me, man!
I'm… I'm actually feeling a little tired, so I'm gonna turn in early.
-But I'll see you in the morning, okay? -Yeah.
Pray to the sun, pray to the sun Pray, oh, pray
