Free Will

Free Will is a song, sung by Ruppina, for the 9th ending of the One Piece anime. It is also the first ending to be featured in the English Funimation dub that was sung by Kristine Sa. This ending is also interesting as it shows glimpses of Nico Robin's past before her official backstory was told.

Ending
Robin is the main focus of this ending. It starts with her in the crow's nest looking out over the stars as the rest of the Straw Hats are sleeping. It contains bits of her past as a little girl, gloomily looking over people passing by and huddling on her bed. It then goes to the present, as she notices shooting stars flying across the sky. She uses her Hana Hana powers to wake the crew (simply patting Nami awake while knocking the male crew members off their hammocks or couches). The Straw Hats groggily head on deck but were fully awaken upon seeing the shooting stars and enjoy the view.

Funimation Version
Singer - Kristine Sa

Lyrics
Now, I look up and see. There's something out there. Beyond the endless, clear blue sky. Possibilities... Of just what could be... That someday I'll see if I try...

When I am alone all of the memories go racing through my mind. The things that I've said and done, the ones I've lost, the dreams that I've left behind.

Sometimes, I felt like I would defeat myself. Until I recalled, that there was a warm place I could always go, If I happen to fall.

With friends and family... Who pick me up...

Trivia

 * In this ending, (as a kid) Robin appeared with sandals but in the actual story, she has brown shoes.
