The final, lingering shot on Roger then match-cuts to Luffy trapped on the same scaffold, twenty-two years later as Buggy's cutlass swings for his neck, Luffy fearlessly yells his dream to be Pirate King, then apologizes for dying to each of his crewmates, instants before a mysterious lightning bolt strikes. The narrator delivers a slightly abridged (and fully re-drawn) introduction to Gold Roger, his execution, and the last words that began the Great Age of Pirates. The opening concludes with two more shots of the smiling Straw Hats - Luffy, Nami and Zoro in the first, Usopp and Sanji in the second - and a rear shot of the Going Merry with a seagull flying past. Then, as their Jolly Roger proudly flies overhead, Luffy begins spinning his beloved his straw hat on his finger, the camera zooming in on it until Shanks suddenly emerges, Lucky Roux, Yasopp and Benn Beckman following in his wake. In-between flashes of upcoming figures - Buggy, Kuro, Don Krieg, Arlong, Alvida, Smoker, and Dragon - Luffy lands back aboard the Merry, standing tall with all his crewmates. Finally, Luffy - in an adaptation of Chapter 1's last pages - throws his signature Gomu Gomu no Pistol at the Lord of the Coast. Next, the Merry comes under attack by enemy pirates, and the Straw Hats demonstrate their fighting skills: Zoro fends off a horde of men with his Santoryu, Sanji defeats another horde with an upside-down spin kick, Usopp uses his Egg Star to stun a man, and Nami finishes the man off with her staff. The Merry is then depicted from a super-deformed perspective, a stretching little caricature 'sailing' the world map. A close-up of the ship's bow shows all of the Straw Hats grinning and unafraid, Luffy even hanging upside-down from the figurehead. The Going Merry is then shown amidst a rough sea, surrounded by massive Sea Kings on all sides. Luffy then shows off his abilities, stretching one arm onto the Going Merry and rocketing the rest of himself onboard.ДЄs Luffy closes in on the camera, the opening smash-cuts to the One Piece logo. The camera cuts to Luffy, sprinting up a hill and leaping in excitement, followed by quick flashes of his crewmates: Zoro glaring, Nami waving, Usopp posing, and Sanji dragging on a cigarette. Excitedly, the narrator states that the world has entered the 'Great Age of Pirates.' With his last words, he had promised the same to anyone who could find his treasure.ДЄ ship is seen unfurling its Jolly Roger sail, then another, then another, until the sea is dotted with pirate ships. The narrator - in a straightforward adaptation of Chapter 1's first page - introduces Gold Roger, a pirate who had won boundless 'Wealth, Fame and Power' before his capture and execution.
