Thank you.

You Ship

off the starboard bow And they're flying a pirate flag We've got a pirate ship in pursuit Enemy way Captain,

we've got pirates!

What?

People, please stay calm.

Panicking will only get you hurt.

Just follow my crew's instructions and it'll order me back.

Fire!

Yes, ma 'am?

Who is the most beautiful of all on these seas?

Well, that would be the captain of our ship, Lady Alvita, of course.

Good answer.

That means a lot to me.

It's been a while.

We're finally gonna see a little action.

That's right!

So make it count!

Get in with all you got, boys!

Here we go.

Time to show them the terror of Iron Club Alphita.

Lay the pirate on the seas.

Cormie!

What are you doing?

I'm not real good at this stuff.

You're telling me.

Maybe it's because you're too busy backtalking me all the time.

Oh no!

Not the club!

Anything but the club!

Please!

Then get your ass in gear!

Move it, you brat!

We're not gonna take your lives, we swear.

But we will take everything else you got on you.

And anyone who fights back will be eating their dinner off the bottom of the ocean.

Hello?

I really hope there's no one in here.

That's a relief.

Wow, that's one big barrel.

I wonder what's inside of it. Who are you?

I ain't seen you before.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It will kill us if she ever found out.

She won't if you keep your trap shut.

Right, boy?

Yeah, right.

Okay.

This sucker's heavy.

Ha, perfect.

Hold on, boys.

I'll open her the old -fashioned way.

I slept so great!

Who's that?

Who the hell are you guys?

Who the hell are you?

Your friend will catch cold sleeping like that.

You're the one who knocked him out!

Hold up, are you messing with us when you know good and well that we're vicious pirates, huh?

You've got to run!

If those guys come back here with their buddies, then they'll kill you on the spot!

I don't care about that.

I'm hungry.

How can you just blow this off like that?

There are hundreds of them up on deck and they're waiting for the opportunity to kill anything!

What's wrong?

Wait!

No!

Wait!

What?!

It's a gold mine!

Food, food, food, food, food!

Maybe it will be safe in you as long as no one else gets hungry.

This box looks promising.

Apples, excellent!

Tasty!

Uh, hey, my name's Kobe.

You're Luffy, is that right?

That was pretty neat when you took out of that barrel back there.

These are awesome!

So were we on a pirate ship or what?

No, it's a passenger ship that's being raided by pirates.

Pirates under the command of Lady Alvita.

Who cares, anyway?

What I want to know is if there are any boats on board.

I think there are a few.

Great, because mine got sucked into some big whirlpool.

That one outside?

No way!

No one could have survived that.

Yeah, I gotta say, it was a big surprise.

100

So, are you one of the pirates or one of the passengers?

101

It was on a fateful day, long ago.

102

That day, I stepped out onto a small fishing boat on the outskirts of town to go catch my dinner.

103

Turned out that particular boat was actually headed for a pirate ship.

104

That was two years ago.

105

In exchange for them letting me live, I'm forced to live the life of a cabin boy.

106

You're pretty stupid, you know that?

107

Gee, thanks for your honesty.

108

If you hate it, then leave.

109

Are you kidding?

110

I can't do that.

111

No way.

112

Nuh -uh.

113

Not a chance.

114

Just the thought of LV to finding me scares me so bad I want to throw up.

115

You're a moron and a coward.

116

I hate people like you All right, quit your lollygagging around boys.

117

We gotta load up everything before the Marines get here.

118

I Catch anyone dawdling and they'll get a real mouthful of my iron club I love hitting a rich ship.

119

Let's get back to it.

120

She'll break our ass

121

if she catches us slacking off One hit from the club of hers is enough to have you begging for dead

122

This is bad!

123

Yeah?

124

Then out with it!

125

It came from inside the barrel!

126

That's a horrible monster! Who are you?

127

You're like a monster!

128

You weren't knocking.

129

Ah, you, my lady.

130

Some guy was hiding in a barrel!

131

He could be a bounty hunter!

132

What?

133

Yeah, you're right.

134

If I had the courage, I could drift alone in a barrel and be rid of these pirates.

135

I actually have my own dreams.

136

Someday, I'd like to live out all of them.

137

So, what about you, Luffy?

138

What was it that first got you to set sail on these seas?

139

Well, I'm gonna be king of the pirates!

140

A king?

141

Yep.

142

Are you serious?

143

Yeah.

144

But that would mean that you're a pirate, too!

145

Right.

146

Your crew?

147

Don't have one yet, but I'm looking for him.

148

King of the Pirates is a title given to one who obtains everything this world has to offer!

149

You're talking about seeking the great treasure of wealth, fame, and power!

150

The treasure that you seek is the One Piece!

151

Yeah!

152

Yeah, that's it!

153

Pirates from all over the world are looking for that treasure, you know?

154

Yeah, so?

155

No way!

156

It's impossible, impossible, impossible!

157

There's no way anyone like you could ever reach the pinnacle during this great pirate age!

158

There's just too many out there that are beat or I'm better!

159

Oh, why did you hit me?

160

Because I felt like it.

161

Oh, well, I'm used to that stuff.

162

My shipmates smack me around a lot.

163

All the time, in fact.

164

It's not about if I can.

165

I'm doing this because I want to.

166

I decided long ago that I'm going to be king of the pirates.

167

If I have to die fighting for that, then I die.

168

All right, now that my belly's full, I'm going to go get me a brand new boat.

169

They might even just give me one if I ask nice enough.

170

Maybe they're generous people.

171

I guess I never thought of it like that.

172

If I put my mind to it, if I'm prepared to die for it, could I do something like that?

173

Like what?

174

Do you think...

175

Do you think I could ever join the Marines?

176

Marines?

177

Yes!

178

Catching bad guys is the only thing I've ever wanted to do!

179

It's been my dream since I was a child!

180

Do you think I could do it?

181

How should I know that?

182

Then I'm gonna do it!

183

I'm not gonna get stuck here as a cabin boy for the rest of my life!

184

I'll break out and I'll turn right around and catch Alvita myself!

185

Who is that you plan on catching, Cody?

186

And you actually think this twig is gonna help you?

187

Well, answer me!

188

My guess is that you're not Zoro the Pirate Hunter.

189

Zoro?

190

Kobe!

191

Who is the most beautiful of all on these seats?

192

Well, um, give me a sec.

193

I know this!

194

Hey, Kobe, who's the fat lady?

195

Oh, no!

196

Not good!

197

Eww!

198

Run!

199

Let's go!

200

Miss me!

201

It's not fair to attack from behind!

202

It's even more not fair to kill, no fucking guy!

203

Luffy!

204

Luffy!

205

Luffy!

206

Luffy!

207

Luffy!

208

Luffy!

209

Luffy!

210

Luffy, what are you?

211

Oh, I'm a rubber man.

212

So you're made of rubber?

213

I...

214

So, you've eaten of the devil fruits.

215

Yeah, I ate the gum gum one.

216

Aha.

217

I heard rumors they existed, but I'd never seen any evidence of them before today.

218

You're more skilled than the average deck swatter.

219

Are you a bounty hunter?

220

I'm a pirate.

221

Pirate?

222

All by yourself on these waters?

223

Today it's just me, but I'll find my crew tomorrow, or next week or something.

224

I need, I don't know, like ten guys.

225

Yeah, ten.

226

Ha!

227

Tell me, if we're both pirates, and we're not under the same flag, then that would make us enemies, am I right?

228

Ah, Luli, let's go!

229

Why?

230

You saw how powerful her club is, and of all the villainous cheats in all these waters, she's easily the most...

231

I decided long ago that I'm gonna be king of the pirates.

232

If I have to die fighting for that, then I die.

233

Go on.

234

Tell me.

235

You're the most ugliest thing on the sea!

236

What'd you say?

237

I'm leaving and I'm going to join the Marines!

238

Then I'm going to spend the rest of my life beating up dirty pirates like you!

239

Do you have any clue what you're saying to me right now?

240

Of course I do!

241

And I'm going to do what I want and no one's going to stop me!

242

And when I join the Marines, I'm going to join them!

243

And I'm going to catch your lousy ass first!

244

You're dead, kid!

245

No regrets!

246

No regrets!

247

I did it!

248

I said what I wanted to and I fought for my dream!

249

Well said! That won't work.

250

What?

251

I'm rubber.

252

Oh, my God!

253

Sky's so pretty and blue out here.

254

Hey, you!

255

Yes?

256

Go find a boat and give it to Kobe.

257

He's leaving your ship to join the Marines.

258

I'm not gonna stop it.

259

Yeah, sure.

260

Thanks, Luffy.

261

Look!

262

It's the Marines!

263

Ooh!

264

Perfect timing!

265

Head over there and tell them you want to join!

266

And I'm a pirate, so I'm out of here!

267

No, wait!

268

You can't be serious!

269

I approach them like this, they'll just capture me like another pirate!

270

We actually managed to get away.

271

What fun! So goofy.

272

Huh?

273

If you're searching for the elusive one -piece, then you have to be headed for the Grand Line, right?

274

Mm -hmm.

275

You know, the people I've talked to call that place the pirate graveyard.

276

Right.

277

And that's why I need an extra strong crew.

278

You guys mentioned some pirate hunter.

279

So what's he like, Kobe?

280

Oh, you mean Zoro?

281

Last I heard was that he's being held prisoner at some marine base.

282

Oh, well.

283

Weakling, huh?

284

No, you're so wrong!

285

He's as violent as a demon and three times is horrifying!

286

Why are you asking about him anyway?

287

I figure if he's good enough, I'd ask him to join my crew!

288

Chasing him down is just plain reckless!

289

You never know, he might jump at the chance to join!

290

He's a bad enough guy that the Marines caught him!

291

No way!

292

Not a chance!

293

Forget it!

294

No doubt!

295

Like you hit me!

296

Cause I felt like it!

297

Thank you.

298

Thank you.

299

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
