"Believe" is a song performed by the Japanese girl group, Folder 5. It was featured as the second opening for the One Piece anime. Meredith McCoy covered the song for the FUNimation dub.
Shot of the ocean before showing a montage of characters up to Loguetown arc (even a few from fillers such Daddy Masterson and Carol) before going to title.

These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man As long as there are people who seek freedom in this life These things shall not vanish from the Earth...
People tell me my head's in the clouds I don't care what they say because I'm dreamin' of you You are the treasure I've found So bright, so bold, yet so elusive
It's hard to look away, even though it's blinding me There are no words to describe how I feel inside I'm really really stuck on you whoa, whoa!
I have to follow my dreams however crazy they seem And I won't stop 'til I get there, you will see You're all I need to have the strength to believe Believe in Wonderland!
I'm gonna' follow my dreams, however crazy they seem I'm gonna' share them with you, a love so true You're all I want, together we can move on Live how we want to!
There is no limit to us, we have the power of love And we don't wanna' live ordinary lives We have the chance to live in paradise Believe in Wonderland!
"Believe" is a cover of the single "Dreaming of You" by the Super Eurobeat performer, Lolita.
There is a error in the intro before the song starts - the diamonds on Krieg's hand are reversed, they are placed on the left hand instead of the usual right hand. This was possibly cause by the simple reversal of the animation frames.
As with most early One Piece openings, the song is preceded by a short monologue. In this case, the opening features a bit of dialogue spoken by Gol D. Roger in Episode 53, the final episode of the Loguetown arc.
This is the second longest running opening, behind We Go!.
