One Piece Theme (4Kids)

The One Piece Rap, also known as the Gum Gum Rap, is the introduction used by 4Kids in their dub of One Piece. It is sung by Russell Velasquez.

Following much hype from the showing of a English version of We Are, after winning the rights to dub the series 4Kids choose to drop "We Are" for this instead. The inital reaction to the One Piece Rap has been has been mixed and it has suffered much from critics and fans alike, mostly due to its corny lyrics. As crew members joined the Straw Hat Pirates, the lyrics were revised to add the new characters. The final version, which included Robin, did not air in the US as the 4Kids license expired. The musical score was also reused for the outro to the series as well as the introduction.

A version of this song was also used for the english game using 4Kids Voice actors One Piece Grand Battle!.
