Family, also sometimes called Oretachi wa family! (We are family), is a song sung by the Straw Hat Pirates. Originally, it was sung with only 6 members, but was resung when Robin joined the crew. The song (6 member version) is played during the ending of several of the TV Specials, and was used for a makeshift "ending" for the original TV airing of episode 128, with clips from past episodes.
Lyrics
Japanese Kanji | Japanese Rōmaji | English Translation |
知り合いじゃなくて
|
All: Shiriai ja nakute
Luffy: Saikou no nakama nara
(talking: Robin: Zettai wa shinjitsu rio-ponigurifu omotame te! Luffy: Yosh! Mina sorete na? Ja iko da! All: Hai, Sencho!) |
We're not acquaintances.

FUNimation Version
Straw Hats: We may not be related
But the bonds we've created
Are strong enough to call family! (When we're sailing the sea)
When other tides have faded we will still be here--
We're more than friends, we are family!
Luffy: You can go and explore every wave and island in the ocean
But even then you won't find a crew that holds a candle to ours
Nami: The crew on our ship is all misfits
But we're the best misfits around!
Zoro: Abandon logic, we don't use it--
Let go and you're ocean bound!
Usopp: Every day, danger is here
But somehow we all survive!
Straw Hats: We risk our lives on a daily basis, with treasure on our minds—the ultimate find!
Luffy: We're the best in all the sea,
We'll never back down because together we'll succeed!
Straw Hats: We may not be related
But the bonds we've created
Are strong enough to call family! (As long as we're at sea)
When other tides have faded we will still be here--
We're more than friends, we are family!
