Chapter 0: Strong World

[Insert text: In an age before Luffy was born…]
[Box: Around three years before the dawn of the Great Age of Pirates // Marine HQ]
Transmission: Fleet Admiral Kong!! // In the New World, in the Ed War Sea… / ...Roger and the Gold Lion have made contact!!!
Garp: Excellent!
Sengoku: Hold it, Garp!! // This discussion is not finished!!!
Garp: Not for you, maybe, but it is for me!!
Kuzan: Garp-san, did you refuse another promotion?!
Garp: I don't need any higher position than this to do things the way I like!
Kuzan: Damn, you're a cool one~~~~~
Garp: Tsuru-chan, if you're setting sail, let me come on board!!
Saul: We haven't had orders to move out yet, surely?!
Tsuru: I don't want you on my ship… you'll end up destroying it.
Garp: Oh, don't be like this! I'm going to be the one to take out that damn Roger!!!
4
Sengoku: Garp!! The Shiki case is my responsibility! / Keep your nose out of it!!!
Garp: Ahhh, don't be like that! I'll let you take all the credit!
Sengoku: That is not the issue here!!
Marine: Whew!! Looks like Admiral Sengoku and Vice-Admiral Garp are both getting involved in this one, huh?!!
Momonga: Well, this is Roger we're talking about...!! Garp-san is hardly going to let him slip away...!!
[Box: The New World]
Buggy: Captain Roger~~~~~~!!! Surely our lives are what's important!!! // We really oughtta just do what the Gold Lion says for the moment, right?!!
Shanks: Ah, c'mon. It's not like you're going to die no matter how much they slice you up, so what's the problem?
Buggy: I've got plenty of weak points, idiot!! / Of course! Crocus-san! Whaddaya think of the Captain's condition, huh?! // He shouldn't be fighting right now, right?! You're his doctor, you tell him!
5
Crocus: I'm afraid his condition is just fine.
Pirate: Give it up. In all the years we've spent with Roger, we've never once been able to stop him!!
Buggy: Rayleigh-san!!!
Rayleigh: Believe in Tom's ship, the Oro Jackson!! // …Roger's not got too much time left...!!
Shiki: How many times do I have to ask you this, Roger?!! Sure, we may have had our differences in our youth, but let's put that behind us!! / You know the location of the "world-destroying weapon"!!! And I have my overpowering military force!!! // Put those forces together with the brilliant plan I've spent many months bringing to perfection... / ...and we can take control of this world in an instant!!! Become my right-hand man, Roger!!!
Roger: I'm not interested in controlling anything, Shiki!!! // What's the point in being a pirate if you can't do things your own way? / It doesn't matter how much pressure you put on us...
6-7
Roger: Your proposal is rejected!!! // Gold Lion!!!
Buggy: Stop it~~~~!! Captain~~~~~~!!
Rayleigh: Move it.
Buggy: Can't you see how many ships this guy's got?!!!
Shiki: And by that I presume... // ...you mean that you wish to be slaughtered by us right here and now?!!!
Roger: I mean I'm going to crush the lot of you!!!

[Box: The man known for commanding an enormous pirate fleet... // ...Gold Lion Shiki... / ...and the future Pirate King, Gold Roger, clash... // This conflict would come to be known as the Battle of Ed War. // A battle in which Roger's ship, faced with almost certain doom... // ...was saved by a sudden freak weather storm... / ...with the result... // ...that half of Shiki's massive fleet was sunk... // ...and due to an unforeseen accident befalling Shiki himself... // ...the battle was called off, and the Roger Pirates escaped.
9
Indigo: So... Any luck with the wheel?
Dude: Ah... Doctor Indigo. // I'm afraid I'm not sure we can remove it.........
Shiki: .........
Dude: It's buried remarkably deeply, you see... / If we were to forcibly dislodge it, it could very well prove fatal.
Shiki: I see... // Ah, well. These things happen.
Dude: Actually, I think you'll find a man accidentally impaling the ship's wheel into his head to the point where it cannot be removed is not a very common occurrence at all.
Indigo: Still, it's amazing that you actually survived it...
Shiki: Well, they don't call me a Lion for nothing, you know! // Hm? Do I see a chicken?
Indigo: That's you, you dunce!!!
Shiki/Indigo: Oh yeah~!!!
Dude: Erm...
[Box: Around two years later, the Roger Pirates… // ...finally achieved what others had called impossible, and conquered the Grand Line... // ...earning Gold Roger the name of Pirate King. // Shortly afterwards, the Roger Pirates mysteriously disappeared... // ...and it was until another year later...]
10
[Box: …that the news of the Pirate King's capture...]
People: Extra~~!! // Extra~~!!!
[Box: …was to shock the entire world.]
Shiki: Roger…... captured~~~~?!!
Pirates: This is extremely reliable information......!!
Shiki: Don't lie to me!!! As though I could believe a story like that!!! // The lot of you ought to be quite aware... just how powerful that man is!!!
Pirates: Aaghhh!! // Boss!! Calm down, please!! // Aahhh...!!
Shiki: Don't bother me with this crazy nonsense!
Pirates: Boss!! ......Where are you going?!!
Transmission: We have an enemy intrusion!!!
11
Transmission: An enemy intrusion in the Marinford bay plaza!! // How many enemies are there?!!
Marines: ?!! // Ahh...! // Surely that can't be...!!!
Transmission: Only one enemy!!! A single lone intruder... it's Gold Lion Shiki!!!
Shiki: There's no way in hell weak scum like you could capture Roger! / pant // pant / I acknowledge that man's strength myself!!! // "Pirate King"?! Forget pirates!!! If he'd joined up with me back then... / ...we could have ruled the entire world!!! // We may never have seen eye-to-eye, but we lived through the same age, he and I!!! / If you have him, then bring him to me!!! If he dies, then he dies by my hand!!!
12
Marines: Admiral Sengoku...!!
Sengoku: Roger is the Pirate King. // I'm afraid you won't have another chance to continue your quarrel with him. / His execution will take place in one week's time, in the town of Roger's birth, in East Blue.
Shiki: .........
Sengoku: The Town of Beginnings, Loguetown.
Marines: Vice-Admiral Garp...!!
Garp: Roger's death... / ...will doubtless be a crushing blow to pirates everywhere.
Shiki: You're telling me the legend of Roger the Pirate King......... / ...is going to come to an end in East Blue, weakest of all seas?! // Don't make me laugh!!! / That would be the final insult to that damned man!
Garp: "Weakest of all seas"? I suggest you choose your words. East Blue is a model of peace.........!!
Sengoku: You will not interfere with the execution...!!!
13
Marines: ..................
[Box: Garp… Sengoku... the Gold Lion...]
Marines: …...............
[Box: The battle between these three men… // ...reduced the city of Marinford half to ruins.]
People: What the heck is this…?! // H... Hey...! Carry the wounded!!
[Box: As a result, the Gold Lion was imprisoned in the great gaol of Impel Down.]
14
[Box: One week later… with the death of Pirate King Gold Roger... // ...the curtain opened on the Great Age of Pirates!! // The news spread through the world like wildfire within that same day... // ...and all could feel the beginnings of the wild age to come.]
15
Cobra: A fearsome age is upon us…
Kashii: They say there's going to be more pirates, Oimo!
Oimo: Well, it's not like they'll bother us.
Broggy/Dorry: Nnghaahhh!!!
People: Tonjit, have you heard the news?!!
Tonjit: (One day, I shall become the world stilt champion...)
People: Captain Cricket!! They say Roger's died and left his treasure behind!!! This is incredible!!!
Cricket: Now, that's what I call romance!!
Someone: Justice must grow stronger!!! Stronger than ever before!!!
CP9: Hahh! // Hahh!
People: Ahhh!! What's this?!! A cursed child has ben born!! This must be the curse of the Pirate Age!!
Duval: Nggwaaaahhhhh! Nggwaaaahhhhh!
Sandersonia: "Great Age of Pirates"? Does that mean everyone gets to be a pirate?
Hancock: It means we have to become even stronger warriors if we want to join the pirate crew!
16
[Box: Undersea Gaol, Impel Down]
People: Have you heard the huge news?!!! // The Pirate King is dead, and his treasure is just waiting to be found!!
[Box: Level Six]
People: clamour / clamour // The Age of Pirates has begun!!! // I wanna get out of here!! Right now…!!
Shiki: ...............!! Why did you die, Roger...?
People: A new age has begun!! // The ocean awaits a new generation of pirates!!!
Shiki: Ridiculous........................ / ...So what if the sheep of the world take to the seas looking for your treasure? They'll be nothing but a nuisance...!! // ...You call this a new age...?!!! / Pirates are the rulers of the seas......!!! One day I'll make them see...
17
[Box: Two years on from the death of Toger… / The legend of the Great Gaol collapses.]
Magellan: Chief!! There's an urgent report!! // Gold Lion Shiki has escaped!!! He's still somewhere within the Gaol!!!
Chief: What of his Kairouseki chains?!! Did he remove them somehow?!!
Magellan: No… his chains haven't been removed!!! // He seems to have severed his own legs......!!!
Chief: He must be found, no matter what!!! // A man of that calibre cannot be permitted to escape!!!
Hannyabal: ?!!
Shiki: Jihahahahaha...... // You wouldn't know where a certain two of my swords are, now, would you? They're fine blades. / Name of "Outou" and "Kogarashi".
Hannyabal: Sh... Sh... Sh...!! // Show me the way to promotion!! Ah... that's not right!! I mean... Shiki!!!
18
Shiki: Sorry, but I'm going to be leaving this place whether you like it or not...!! / I don't need those legs... you can have them. // It's been a fine two years.
Hannyabal: Vice-Chief Magellan~~~~~!! It's Shiki!! He's here!! Help me~~~~~~!!!
[Box: And thus… / ...the Gold Lion who had once broken his fangs...]
People: SHIKI HAS ESCAPED~~~~!!!
[Text: The First Ever Escape From Impel Down / Pirate Fleet Commander "Gold Lion" Shiki]
[Box: …broke free of the cage that held him... / ...and roamed free once more upon the seas.]
Shiki: HNGGAAAHHHHH!!! // pant… pant.........!! // Hahahah... Hahahahah... / Good... now I have legs. // JIHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
19
Sengoku: This is Sengoku. Sorry to disturb you on vacation, Garp, but... / ...it's about the Gold Lion.
Garp: Yes, I've heard. // We're going to have to be careful with this one... he's not the kind of man to seek peace. / ...Still, I doubt he'll try anything right away, either. He was always the thorough type when it comes to preparations.
Woop: Makino! Where's old Garp got to?
Makino: He said he was heading into the mountains!
Ace: Aahh~ aahh~
Dadan?: Oh, you little brat... where do you think you're going, eh?!! // Hold it right there, Ace!!
Garp: Ace-cha~n!! It's old Uncle Garpy~~~!!
Ace: Aahh~! Aahh~!
Dadan?: Ah!! Garp!! / ......san. When did you get back here?!
Koushirou: I wanted this child to be my successor as master of the dojo... but a girl...
Mother: Oh, she'll be just fine! You'll grow up nice and strong, won't you, Kuina~?
Yasopp: What's this? A ship? We don't get many of those round here......
20
Shanks: I'm here because I've heard impressive rumours about a man named Yasopp. // Oh... my name's Shanks. I'm a pirate.
Yasopp: !
SomeGuy: The Going... Merry......... Yes...!! // I sure hope I can actually make a ship like this some day...
Marines: They say the famous Shiki's broken out of Impel Down...!!
Bellemere: If he shows his face in East Blue, I'll give him a proper beating!
Marines: Hahah! That's our Bellemere all right!!
Zeff: The Gold Lion, eh.........?
Pirates: They say he's a pirate who can fly, you know!
People: Our child's started blowing bubbles!!
Hiruluk: Alas!! Another failure!!
Kureha: There that fool goes again......!!
Dalton: Your Majesty!! Are you not spoiling young Wapol-sama a little too much?!
King: Perhaps so... I don't know what I'm going to do with that boy.
People: Nico Robin is in this country?! // She's only a child, but she has a bounty of 79,000,000...!!
Robin: pant... pant...
21
Gaimon: Eh?! What the... eh?! I can't get out!!! // This is crazy!! I'm stucker than stuck!!!
Kokoro: So how's the Sea Train?
Tom: W...!! Th...!! ...!! ...!! ...!! ...!! It's all right.
Franky: I'm helping out on it, so it's just great!!
Iceburg: This guy keeps trying to fit it with weapons.
Laboon: BOUUUUUUU!!
Crocus: .................. // It's no use, Laboon. During my time on Roger's ship... // ...I investigated the situation. The Rumbar Pirates are...
Brooke: Going to deliver~~~ Binks' sake~~~~~~~~~!♪ // 42 degrees!! Ahh!! / Difficult!! 42 degrees is so difficult!!
[BubbleSFX: bffft]
Brooke: Ah!! I seem to have farted!! Yohohoho!!
Hacchan: Nyuuu~~~~~~!! It's me, Shakkie!
Shakkie: Oh! Why, hello there, Hacchan!♡
Hacchan: Is Rayleigh here?
Shakkie: Yes, he's right inside. Would you like a drink?
Hacchan: Uh-huh!
22
Hacchan: Rayleigh? / ?
Rayleigh: …...... // So, Shiki... you've returned... // What do you mean to accomplish at this late stage.........?
Shiki: So... what are the seas like these days without Roger? The wall that stood before us has diasppeared... / It looks like this is your age now, Whitebeard...
Whitebeard: If you're here to spout petty nonsense, Gold Lion... / ...then I'll send you on a one-way trip to the sea bed.
Shiki: Jihahahaha! You always did irritate me... nice to see some things haven't changed. // I'm thinking of hiding myself away for a while...... // I'll show this soft and weakened world... / ...the terror of a true pirate again.
Whitebeard: …Planning something again, are you......?
23
[Box: The Grand Line; Hidden Land in the Clouds, Merville.]
Shiki: Doctor Indigo!! / Have you made any progress?
Indigo: There is one… discovery that I have made. // It would seem that the balance of this island is preserved by a number of types of plant life. / All of them are species never seen anywhere else in the world.........
Shiki: Get to the point, Indigo!! How many years will it be until my plan is ready to bear fruit?
Indigo: Well, let's see... ten... fifteen... no, I would say... twenty years at least.
Shiki: ......Very well...... // So be it. In twenty years' time, I will carry out my plan!!! / And the people of the world... will see Hell!!!
[Box: And twenty long years went by…]
