42 Years Ago - Hachinosu

Explosions rock the scene as "KA-BOOOM!!" and "レチャッ" erupt. Pirates shout "SUCKERS!", "THIS WAY THE REST OF US ALL GET BIGGER CUTS!", "JIHA HA HA!!", and "LET'S HAUL IT ALL OUT!". A distant temple is labeled "'FOOT COLONY' TEMPLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL PHILANTHROPY FEDERATION" with "THE ROCKS CREW IN ACTION!!" and cheers of "WOOHOO!". Inside the temple, chaos unfolds with gunfire and impacts. A woman in a striped outfit and cape leaps through the air shouting "PLEASE STOP!! THAT MONEY WAS DONATED FOR POOR CHILDREN IN NEED!!". Pirates yell "YEAH RIGHT! IF THAT'S TRUE, WHY HASN'T IT BEEN TURNED OVERI YOU WERE GONNA KEEP IT, RIGHTI!", "HEY, OCHOKU!! HEY!!", "LET'S BOOK IT!!", and "NICE WORK, THAT'S EVERYTHING!". An elderly priest commands "SEAL THE TEMPLE!" while others cry "GYAAH!!", "UWAAH!", "THEY'RE TRYIN' TO TRAP US, EHI I'LL BUST THROUGH!", and "SHUT UP ALREADY! HEY, SHIKI!". A large man with a scar laughs "WHA--I" as the lift is lowered amid "WHOOSH..." and "CIAO!".

Massive impact SFX "ビシッ" and "オォーン!!" shake the island as characters react in shock. A tall man with a staff says "YOU'D BETTER CHOOSE WISELY IF YOU SEEK ONE OUT. YOU'LL BE STUCK WITH IT FOR LIFE." Another replies "INTERESTED IN GETTING A POWER, HUHI" and "GOTTA ADMIT, I'M A BIT JEALOUS I CAN'T DO THAT." A cloaked figure asks "WHO WAS IT...I WHICH ONE OF YOU TRIED TO DITCH US DOWN THEREI". The island begins sinking amid "THE HELLI! IS THE ISLAND SINKINGI!" and "IT'S GOTTA BE HIS HANDIWORK!". A woman cries "OH, KYO-KUN! THANK GOODNESS YOU SURVIVED; I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" while others shout "FIGURES IT'D BE YOU, SHIKI!!", "THE TEMPLE IS...!!", "NEWGATE!!", "HEY, ROCKS!", "LOOK AT THE SHORE!", "I'M GONNA KILL YOUR ASS!", and "EVERYONE, MOVE IT!". Debris flies as the temple collapses with "WAAAAH!!" and "AAAH!!".

From a cliffside, figures watch Marine ships approach. One yells "WE SHOULD'VE BEEN GETTIN' READY TO SHIP OFF!", "HEY! KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE INFIGHTIN'! THIS AIN'T THE TIME!", "VOHA HA! NEW CHALLENGERS HAVE SHOWN UP!", and "IT'S THE NAVY!". Below, a large man with horns roars "GET READY TO FIGHT!!" and "SCREW IT, NO POINT PREPPIN' TO SAIL NOW." A crossed-arms man notes "THAT WAS FAST. DID SOMEONE LEAK OUR PLANSI". Marines swarm the area as the large man declares "THE MARINES ARE EVERYWHERE!" and in a massive close-up face, "...AND SINK 'EM ALL!! PLUNDER EVERYTHING...".

Massive pirate ships clash violently on stormy seas as the Rocks Pirates tear through the ocean. Narration boxes detail their brutal record: "16 DOCUMENTED RAIDS... 76 SUNKEN SHIPS..." and "IN A MERE TWO YEARS SINCE THEIR FORMATION, THE RECORD OF THE ROCKS CREW SPOKE FOR ITSELF." Explosions and cannon fire erupt as vessels sink. Further panels list erased crimes: "AND 25 CRIMINAL RECORDS... QUIETLY ERASED," "THREE UNPRECEDENTED VIOLATIONS OF ARTICLE 18 OF INTERNATIONAL LAW...," and "ONE NATION BROUGHT TO RUIN... 14 PORTS REDUCED TO ASH... FIVE TOWNS WIPED OFF THE MAP." A fierce warrior with wild hair lunges forward with a massive weapon amid impact lines. The bottom spread shows a globe shattering under bombardment with the narration: "IT WOULD NOT BE AN OVER-STATEMENT... TO REFER TO THIS PERIOD AS THE ERA OF ROCKS." A final box adds: "EVEN WITH THE FUTURE PIRATE KING, GOL D. ROGER, SAILING THE SEAS."

A grand ship approaches the shores of Elbaf where a coastal town burns in the distance. A voice from the ship declares: "DON'T CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH THE HUMANS LIVING HERE; THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS. ALL NON-AFFILIATED NATIONS ARE CONSIDERED LAWLESS TERRITORIES." Another demands: "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGI! LEAVE AT ONCE, HARALD!" A box labels the location: "ENISHI, NEW WORLD." On the docks, townspeople cry out: "KING HARALD! HELP US! THEY'RE OUR FRIENDS! OUR SAVIORS!" King Harald, horned and furious, roars back: "LET THEM GO! THIS COUNTRY GAVE AID TO ELBAF OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF THEIR HEARTS! THAT'S MESSED UP! THE WORLD GOVERNMENT CAN'T JUST DECREE EVERYTHING LIKE THAT!" A stern man in a black coat and hat aims a gun, warning: "BUT YOU'LL ONLY HURT YOUR MEMBERSHIP BID IF YOU INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF A NON-AFFILIATED COUNTRY!!" Harald retorts: "INTERVENING TO HELP US WOULD BE ONE THING... HARALD, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ELBAF IS UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR BECOMING A MEMBER NATION, CORRECTI WE'RE NOT LEAVING WITHOUT REPAYING OUR DEBT!"

King Harald glares with intense fury, shouting: "YOU AREN'T HUMAN!! YOU SCUM..." Gunfire erupts as the man in the black coat fires at civilians, a woman screaming "KYAAH!" while the attacker yells: "SO STAY OUT OF THE WAY, HARALD!!" Sensational headlines flash: "'KING HARALD EXPOSED: ELBAF MONARCH SINKS INNOCENT BATTLESHIP!'" and "'ALLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REVEALED AS A PLOY!' (WORLD ECONOMIC JOURNAL HEADLINES)." King Harald leaps dramatically between ships. In a later scene at Ida's Tavern in Elbaf, locals urge: "COME ON, HARALD! GIVE IT UP! YOUR WHOLE NATION SHOULD BE JOINING UP WITH ME!" A spiky-haired patron mocks: "DON'T BE DUMB. I'M NOT LETTING A MAN WITH A REPUTATION AS BAD AS YOURS COME INTO THE MAINLAND. LET'S DRINK AT THE CASTLE, HARALD! YOHA HA HA! YA SEEI! THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT FOR YA!" Another voice growls: "I CAN'T STAND SEEIN' YA GROVEL TO THE GOVERNMENT ANYMORE!"

Inside Ida's Tavern, a spiky-haired man laughs while discussing Garp: "GARPI! THAT GUY HATES THE TOP BRASS! GARP LAUGHED AT ME TOO... HE'D ALSO BE BETTER OFF AS A PIRATE!" King Harald argues passionately about the Marines. A woman with curly hair, Ida, listens nearby. The spiky-haired man continues: "THEY'RE A MASSIVE ORGANIZATION. SURE, THEY HAVE CORRUPT TRASH IN THEIR RANKS, BUT THE NAVY IS A FINE ARM! THE AVERAGE MARINE HELPS SAVE PEOPLE ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS!...TO REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR PEOPLE EVERYWHERE...!! THEY COULD USE THEIR BOUNDLESS STRENGTH..." Harald snaps back about the corruption. Ida interjects: "SOME OF THEM ALREADY COME FROM ELBAF, LIKE JOHN GIANT. IF MORE OF OUR COUNTRIES WARRIORS FOLLOWED SUIT..." A small character warns: "HEY! DON'T TAKE SHOTS AT ME!" The spiky-haired man smiles and says: "YOU SHOULD CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY! I'D TELL HIM... I WISH I COULD, IF HARALD WAS MY SON. WHY DON'T YOU TALK SOME SENSE INTO HIM, IDAI"

At Navy HQ, officers discuss the giants of Elbaf. Speech bubbles read: "DO YOU REALLY THINK HUMANS CAN COEXIST WITH SUCH CREATURESI" "IF ONE JUST LOSES THEIR TEMPER, LIVES COULD BE LOST." "PEOPLE COULD BE CRUSHED TO DEATH." "IF A GIANT WERE TO ROLL OVER IN THEIR SLEEP." A marine exclaims, "...THAT'S THE GIST OF WHAT THEY TOLD ME. THEY REALLY SAID ALL THATI!" "YEP!" Another panel shows concern: "IF THAT'S TRUE, THE NAVY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THEM!!" "THERE'S RUMORS HE'S BEING SCOUTED BY ROCKS." "HARALD IS AN HONEST MAN. HE'S TRYING TO LEARN FROM HISTORY AND CHANGE ELBAF." "THEY'RE FINE LETTING 'EM JOIN THE NAVY, BUT THAT'S ALL, HUHI!" Admiral Kong sweats, "YOU MAKE GOOD POINTS, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS... DAMN IT... WE'RE REALLY STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE NOW." The officers are labeled ADMIRAL KONG (FUTURE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF), VICE ADMIRAL TSURU (FUTURE GREAT STAFF OFFICER), VICE ADMIRAL SENGOKU (FUTURE FLEET ADMIRAL), and VICE ADMIRAL GARP (LUFFY'S GRANDPA). In the bottom panels, Garp shouts, "THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF STRENGTH I'M AFTER, KONG!" while Tsuru warns, "STILL, YOU CAN'T DENY THEIR WILD AND VIOLENT TRACK RECORD..." Kong replies, "JUST HURRY AND MAKE ELBAF A MEMBER NATION ALREADY!!" A blonde woman adds, "IF IT WERE UP TO ME, IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE!!"

The scene shifts to 42 YEARS AGO - HACHINOSU. A massive skull-shaped structure looms over the pirate town as chaos erupts. A man yells, "THIS IS BIG NEWS! SHAKUYAKU HAS QUIT..." Another shouts, "THIS IS HUGE!! THIS IS REALLY HUGE!!" A large panel shows the announcement: "CAPTAIN OF THE KUJA PIRATES!...AS CAPTAIN OF THE KUJA PIRATES! SHAKUYAKU" Pirates react in shock: "THAT MEANS THERE'S NO CHANCE WE'LL RUN INTO HER AT SEA ANYMORE!!" "WHATI!" In the lower scene, a man cries out, "DAMN IT! WE'VE WASTED OUR YOUTH... SHAKKY-SHAKKY-CHAAAAAN!!" while a woman with a snake declares, "I SET SAIL 'CAUSE I DREAMED OF BEING ATTACKED BY SHAKUYAKU'S KUJA PIRATES! IT CAN'T BE..."

Pirates lounge and argue about Shakuyaku's decision. A man with a snake says, "ANYWAY, I HONESTLY CAN'T IMAGINE HER GETTING LOVESICK..." Another asks, "DOES LOVE ALWAYS LEAD TO RUIN ON THE ISLE OF WOMENI" "...LIKE YOU DID, GLORIOSAI" "DO YOU RECKON SHE QUIT SO SHE COULD CHASE AFTER A MAN..." "WHAT ARE YOU UP TO, SHAKKYI" Gloriosa snaps, "I'D NEVER FORGIVE HER IF SHE WENT AFTER ROGER!" The snake man retorts, "LIKE YOU'D KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PAIN OF LOVE! YOU CRANK OUT KIDS LIKE POPCORN!" A young Shakuyaku in a hat declares, "I'M THE POPULAR SENSATION, MISS BUCKIN! AIN'T THAT ENOUGHI!" "NO! I WANT YOU!!" She replies, "I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU, NEWGATE!" "AT LEAST YOU'VE ONLY GOT EYES FOR ME, RIGHT, NEWGATEI" "IT'S ALWAYS 'SHAKKY THIS' AND 'SHAKKY THAT!'" Suddenly, alarm spreads: "THEY'RE COMING TOWARD THE COAST!" "IT'S THE KUJA PIRATES!!" "WHA--I!" "HUHI!" "WHAT'S WRONGI" "NO WAY! SOMETHING CRAZY IS HAPPENING!"

Shakuyaku arrives dramatically on the island, surrounded by Kuja Pirates. Narration states: "THE ARRIVAL OF THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL IDOL......CAUSED A COMMOTION IN THIS HIVE OF MURDEROUS FIENDS." "EVEN WITH ALL THAT WAS YET TO COME... THIS INCIDENT IS SAID TO RANK AMONG THE GREATEST..." Pirates swarm her, shouting, "TAKE CARE, CAPTAIN!" "WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE, MA'AMI" "THIS LAND IS TOO FILTHY FOR YOU......YOU MUSTN'T GO ANY FURTHER!" "SO THIS IS PIRATE ISLANDI" "IT'S A GODDESS!" "I CAN DIE HAPPY!" "THANKS FOR THE RIDE, TRITOMA, THIS WILL DO." "YES, MA'AM!" Shakuyaku stands tall and replies, "WAIT A MINUTE! ARE YOU 'JOININ' THE ROCKS THE CREW LIKE GLORIOSAI" The crowd reacts with hearts: "WHAT A BABE!" "A KNOCKOUT!" "SO PRETTY!" "IS SHE REALI OR AM I DREAMIN'I!" In a close-up, Shakuyaku says, "NO, I JUST WANT TO LIVE HERE FOR A WHILE." The final panel shows a massive reaction: "WHAAAAA AAAATI!"

A beautiful woman with dark hair and earrings smiles confidently in close-up, asking, "YOU'LL PROTECT ME, RIGHTI" In the background, a cloaked figure walks away from a chaotic scene filled with hearts and debris as narration explains, "QUITTING WON'T MATTER TO THE MARINES, THEY'LL ALWAYS BE AFTER ME SINCE I WAS A PIRATE. SO I'M GONNA HIDE OUT HERE FOR A WHILE, WITH ALL OF YOU." The scene shifts to enthusiastic pirates offering help: "WE'LL BUILD ONE FOR YOU!" "I WANT TO OPEN A STORE." "WE'LL CLEAN UP RIGHT AWAY!" "THIS PLACE SMELLS." "OF COURSE WE WILL!!" and "LET'S GROW SOME FLOWERS FOR HER!" with hearts and celebratory SFX "ヮオオオオオオオ" filling the air around a giant skull-shaped building. Suddenly the mood shifts as members of the Rocks Pirates react in shock: "WUHI!" "THE ROCKS CREW IS BACK! THIS IS BAD!" "WHY ARE YOU RATS MAKIN' SUCH A RACKETI!" "HEY! WHAT'S ALL THE NOISEI!" "WHAT'S SHE DOIN' HEREI!" and "DON'T BLAME HER, CAP'N ROCKS! THIS WAS OUR DOING!!"

Narration boxes explain the situation: "UNFORTUNATELY, A TREASURE IS ALWAYS THE INEVITABLE TARGET OF THEFT..." "AN IRREPLACEABLE CROWN JEWEL" "THE INHABITANTS OF HACHINOSU CAME TO COVET HER AS A TREASURE..." Pirates swarm a woman at a counter, one shouting "THIS PLACE SMELLS GREAT!" while another offers "I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND!!" and "I JUST CAN'T OPEN IT!" The page cuts to a grand reveal of "Shakky's Rip-off Bar" with the sign "シャッキーズ しぼりたてBAR". Shakky stands triumphantly in a revealing outfit, arms raised, greeting customers with "WELCOME! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" and "YOU'LL BE MY FIRST CUSTOMERS!" as the crowd cheers "SHE'S AN ANGEL!!!" and "WHAT THE HELL IS THISI!" A separate scene shows a formal setting with the condition "WE SHALL ACCEPT ELBAF'S ADMISSION INTO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT ON ONE CONDITION: THE WARRIORS OF ELBAF MUST..." and a close-up of a stern face declaring "KILL ROCKS." The final panel states "ONE PIECE CH.1157 /END." with the note "BREAK NEXT WEEK" and "HER VERY PRESENCE ENRICHED THE ISLAND."
