Ending[]

It begins with Luffy flashing the two peace signs directly into the camera, Zoro and Usopp cram into the frame, obscuring some of Luffy's face, then Nami pushes them all out of the frame, with Sanji entering from the left. A still image of Shanks; crew flashes on-screen, then fades to Luffy's younger self running across a blue background. A still frame of Zoro's sensei Koushirou and Kuina kneeling in their dojo replaces Luffy, then fades to Zoro's younger self running across the same background, first at Luffy's pace, then gradually speeding up into a mad dash. A still frame of both Bell-mère and young Nojiko flashes onscreen, with an orange grove behind them and Nojiko holding an orange, which fades to a younger Nami, again running across the blue background. An orange rolls into the frame, and young Nami picks up and twirls.

Next, a still of Yasopp, Banchina, and Kaya flashes before fading to a younger Usopp, also running across the blue background. He stumbles, and nearly trips before regaining pace and smiling apologetically at a point to the right of the camera. Now Zeff and two of his employees flash across the screen with the Baratie as a backdrop. Fading to young Sanji who spin jumps into the air and does a kick. Nami then comes on half of the screen with an angled down front view reading a weathered piece of paper. Then other half is black. The half screen flips to a side view of Usopp who is holding a beaker with purple liquid that boils over. The screen flips again to a side view of Zoro swinging a large weight in a motion similar to a downward slash.

Next, the half screen flips to Sanji opening the door to the kitchen with plates hanging off his arm, head, and shoulders. He spins around once to prevent a plate from falling off his head and the screen flips to full screen with him sliding a plate onto a wooden table to add to a buffet Usopp and Luffy are staring down at the far end of the camera's view. Then it transitions to a half screen pan of the crew eating, starting with a side view of Zoro, then panning to a front view of Nami, a back view of Usopp a front view of Sanji, and a side view of Luffy. Who steals the piece of meat Usopp was about to eat for himself.

Back to full screen with Luffy going for the last slice of meat, Sanji's fork stabs into it, barely missing Luffy's digits, and Usopp plants his fork into it as well. Then a quick shot of the three engaged in a stare-down, transitioning to a full view of the five, with the three still in stare-down, and the camera zooming out. Suddenly it transitions to still frames of them fighting for the meat, first with Sanji kicking and missing, causing the meat to fly into the air, then of Usopp managing to secure the slice, but Sanji has his leg hooked around his neck, as does Luffy with his palm. And finally one of all three, mouths wide-open, gasping at the slice of meat which is again airborne. A quick transition to Nami and Zoro who are watching the conflict and drinking sake respectively, and back to the three. Sanji and Usopp are pulling on Luffy's shirt, who is comfortably seated on Merry's head, he gobbles the last of the food, much to the visible dismay of his opponents.

Luffy stares wide-eyed into the camera, and there's a transition to a mountainous island with a purple haze over it that dissipates as the camera zooms in. Nami checks her map and gives the O.K., the camera transitions to a pan of Luffy, who is excited, Sanji putting his dress coat back on, Usopp steadying his goggles, and Zoro and Nami looking on contentedly. There's a behind slow-down shot of Luffy pumping his fist into the air while turning to face the camera and Sanji and Usopp jumping into the air with their backs to it with Nami and Zoro in the foreground with their backs to the camera also. Finally it fades to a map mounted to the wall with one of Zoro's swords through it.

Lyrics[]

Japanese Kanji Japanese Rōmaji English Translation
はみ出した気持ちつながらなくて

君の手をぎゅっと握り返すよ
一人でも僕は歩き出すから
遠くまでずっと見つめていてね

Hamidashita kimochi tsunagara nakute

Kimi no te o gyutto ni girikaesu yo
Hitori demo boku wa arukidasu kara
Tooku made zutto mitsumeteite ne

my overflowed feelings won't connect and

I tighten my grip of your hand
even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance

今朝からちょっと考えていた

どうしてこんなに熱いの
いつもよりも早足になる
まだ見ぬ風感じたい

Kesa kara chotto kangaeteita

Doushite konna ni atsui no
Itsumo yori mo hayaashi ni naru
Mada minu kaze kanjitai

I was thinking about it since morning

why is it so hot?
I begin to run faster than usual
wanting to feel the unseen wind

いつからかそんなことばかりが離れないよ Itsu kara ka sonna koto bakari ga hanarenai yo
from some time ago, those ideas won't depart from me
はみ出した気持ちつながらなくて

君の手をぎゅっと握り返すよ
一人でも僕は歩き出すから
遠くまでずっと見つめていてね

Hamidashita kimochi tsunagara nakute

Kimi no te o gyutto ni girikaesu yo
Hitori demo boku wa arukidasu kara
Tooku made zutto mitsumeteite ne

my overflowed feelings won't connect and

I tighten my grip of your hand
even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance

ゆうべはちょっと眠れなかった

どうしてこんなに遠いの
叶えたい思いがあせるから追いかけるよ

Yuube wa chotto nemurenakatta

Doushite konna ni tooi no
Kanaetai omoi ga aseru kara oikakeru yo

for some reason, I couldn't sleep last night

why is it so far?
because my feelings rush, I chase after it

駆け出した気持ちつかまえたくて

自分さえもう追い越していくよ
飛び出した夢を抱きしめてたい
一緒なら僕は走って行ける

Kakedashita kimochi tsukamaetakute

Jibun sae mou oikoshite yuku yo
Tobidashita yume o dakishimetetai
Issho nara boku wa hashitte yukeru

I wanted to catch the running feeling

I even outrun my own self
just wanting to embrace the overflowed dream
if we're together, I can continue to run

いつの日かこの思い届くと信じてるよ Itsu no hi ka kono omoi todoku to shinjiteru yo I continue to believe that this feeling will reach you someday
はみ出した気持ち抱きしめたまま

風の中ずっと走り続ける
飛び出した夢は立ち止まらない
突き抜ける思い呼び覚ましたい

Hamidashita kimochi dakishimeta mama

Kaze no naka zutto hashiritsuzukeru
Tobidashita yume wa tachitomaranai
Tsukinukeru omoi yobisamashitai

holding onto my overflowed feelings

I continue to run within the wind
the overflowed dream won't stop
I want to wake this special feeling

はみ出した気持ちつながらなくて

君の手をぎゅっと握り返すよ
一人でも僕は歩き出すから
遠くまでずっと見つめていてね

Hamidashita kimochi tsunagara nakute

Kimi no te o gyutto ni girikaesu yo
Hitori demo boku wa arukidasu kara
Tooku made zutto mitsumeteite ne

my overflowed feelings won't connect and

I tighten my grip of your hand
even if I'm alone, I'll begin to walk so
look after me to the far distance

Lyrics[]

All that's in my heart confuses me
I cannot understand
As I face what I must do
I'll say goodbye and squeeze your hand

I'll set sail alone
But always know I'm gonna keep you near
As I drift away
I'll pray you watch me as I disappear

As I watch the sunrise
I begin to wonder
What could be the reason it's so hot inside

No answer has come
But I can't get away from what's true.
It's because of you

Show me how to catch those feelings
Get 'em to come back to me
I'll do what I must
Because they're everything I wanna be

Wrap these arms around my dreams
And pull 'em back from yesterday
If I'm holding hands with you
I'm sure that we can make the way[1]
