One Piece Chapter 600: Chapter 600 The Island of New Beginnings

In the Sabaody Archipelago at Grove #35, chaos erupts as the Straw Hats search for their missing crewmate. A voice cries out, "ROBI IIIIN!!" Another shouts, "WHERE THE HECK HAVE THEY TAKEN YOU OFF TOI!!!" Someone yells, "ROBI IIIIN!!" with heavy breathing "HAA HAA". A large-nosed figure in a black hat exclaims, "BUT NOW ROBIN GETS KIDNAPPED, AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'LEAVE HER'I!" while another adds, "YOU'RE ALL TERRIBLE....!!" and "HAA HAA". In the next scene, a reindeer-like creature panics, "HEYYY!! CHOPPE EEER!!!" A figure in a top hat reacts with "FOR WHO...I!!" and "AAH HH..." while "!!" and "ぐす" sound effects appear. Meanwhile, a man resembling Luffy runs frantically with motion lines, as voices shout, "LUFFY, AND ZORO, AND NAMI AND SANJI AND EVEN FRANKY!!!" "WHAT'S WRONG WITH EVERYONE...I!!" and "DAMMIT... DAMMIT....!!" The narration box states "SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO, GROVE #35".

The group continues reacting in shock. A voice calls, "OVER HERE!" while another exclaims, "I!...AH!" Usopp, wearing his signature goggles and hat, stares in surprise as a large reindeer-like figure with antlers and a black cap marked with an X approaches. A tall man with curly hair and goggles greets him warmly: "WELL, LOOK AT YOU!! YOU SURE HAVE GROWN!" and "I BET THAT BACK OF YOURS WOULD MAKE A RIDE AND A HALF! HOW'VE YOU BEENI!" The reindeer figure shouts, "USOPP!!" In the lower panels, the reindeer panics, "NO... FORGET THAT!! I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN, BUT THIS ISN'T THE TIME! SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS HAPPENED TO ROBIN!!" Nami appears with a surprised expression, asking, "HUHI! NAMIII" while Chopper replies, "IT'S BEEN A WHILE, CHOPPER!!" A woman resembling Nami smiles and says, "HE'S EVEN FLUFFIER THAN BEFORE! ♡ YOU'RE RIGHT!" with sound effects "ぎゃっ" and "ふわぁっ". Another character mutters, "HMI" as confusion spreads.

The reindeer-like figure stares in horror, realizing, "SO THAT'S WHY THERE WERE TWO NAMIS!!" and "THEY'RE ALL FAKESI!" with a large "ギャビーン" sound effect and "EHHI!!" as sweat drops fly. A woman with dark hair smirks, "HMPH!! NOW I'M STARTING TO FEEL REALLY PISSED OFF!!" while another figure adds, "SHE DIDN'T SMELL THE SAME AS SHE USED TO..." and "OF COURSE!! I THOUGHT SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT..." A long-nosed man in a top hat declares, "DO YOU REALLY THINK ANYONE COULD JUST KIDNAP HER IN A BAG AND RUN OFFI" and "LOOK, ROBIN HAS BEEN ON THE RUN FROM THE WORLD GOVERNMENT FOR TWENTY YEARS, REMEMBERI" Someone complains, "WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE GUYS, PRETENDING TO BE US LIKE THATI!" and "IT'S JUST DISGUSTING!! THOSE FILTHY COPYCATS!! WHY, IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH WE'VE..." In the final panels, a small figure with a wanted poster says, "I'VE ALREADY GOT MINE!" while another notes, "EHEH... I'VE GOTTA COME UP WITH AN AUTO-GRAPH!!" and "I SUPPOSE IT WAS INEVITABLE, THOUGH, NOW THAT THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS LUFFY'S NAME." The woman resembling Nami asks, "WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUTI!" as the reindeer-like figure sleeps with "Zzz" and the impostor group celebrates their rising fame.

The fake Straw Hat crew panics after losing their target. Demaro Black yells, "DAMMIT!!! I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GUYS!!" while clutching his head. Another fake crew member groans, "MY SIDES HURTS... HAA" as he clutches his side. A third shouts, "THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! WE'D ACTUALLY MANAGED TO CAPTURE THE ORIGINAL PET OF THE REAL STRAW HATS, AND WE LET IT GET AWAY...!!" A sign reads "GROVE #40". Below, the group runs frantically through the archipelago. One cries, "WE'VE COMPLETELY LOST SIGHT OF HIM! THE SABAODY ARCHIPELAGO IS A BIG PLACE, YOU KNOWI!" Another retorts, "EASY FOR HIM TO SAY!! WHERE ARE WE MEANT TO LOOKI!" A marine-like figure demands, "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOI!! GET HIM BACK HERE, RIGHT NOW!!" while a shocked voice yells, "WHATI! THAT WAS A SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE REAL STRAW HAT PIRATESI! WHAA AAAI!" The crew questions, "...CAN WE STOP RUNNINGI" In the lower panels, Demaro Black questions a description: "...THE 'BRAT WITH A CAPE AND A GIANT RUCKSACK' THE CAPTAIN WAS LOOKING FOR...I" Someone replies, "YOU CALL THAT A 'BRAT'I!" A voice wonders, "HEY... ISN'T THAT..." as the group spots a small figure in the distance. Demaro reacts with shock, "HUHI!!...YOU GUYS...!!"

A close-up shows a stern man with a scar over his left eye declaring, "...TO GO TO THE COAST. I WANT TO DO SOME FISHING... I WANT..." A sign marks "GROVE #41". Elsewhere, the fake crew argues heatedly. One growls at another, "WHAT, YOU THINK I'M HANGING AROUND WITH YOU 'CAUSE I WANT TOI! HAH! I JUST DON'T TRUST YOU ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU WANDERING AROUND THIS DAMN ISLAND AGAIN, YOU BRAINLESS MARIMO!!" The reply comes, "WHYI! WHY DO I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE LIKES OF YOU, ANYWAYI!!" A large man in a checkered outfit snaps, "FORGET IT, YOU BIG DUMB BRUTE!!" Someone mutters, "WE'RE ALL MEETING UP PRETTY SOON, SO JUST SHUT UP AND FOLLOW ME, GOT THAT...I!!" with a "TCH...". Tension rises as one threatens, "BRING IT ON!! I'LL SLICE YOU IN TWO!!!" while another rants about training and ranking. The scarred man calmly answers, "SURE, WHATEVER. I'M NUMBER 1. I DON'T NEED THIS KIND OF CRAP FROM YOU, NUMBER 7." A voice confirms, "7TH."

A marine reports, "...BELIEVED TO HAVE JOINED THE STRAW HAT PIRATES ON THIS ISLAND, HAVE MADE THEIR APPEARANCE. WE'VE IDENTIFIED 4 CAPTAINS. A LARGE NUMBER OF ROOKIES..." A sign reads "GROVE #46: THE STRAW HATS' MEETING POINT". Close-ups reveal wanted pirates: "...BOUNTY 92,000,000 BELI....HEAVY WOUNDS" ALBION..." followed by "...88,000,000 BELI. LIP 'SERVICE' DHOT..." and "...AND 'BLOOD-SPATTERED' CORIBOU...!!!" A large imposing figure stands with crossed arms as the narration continues, "...AND THE SUPER ROOKIE BROTHERS, 'WET-HAIR' CARIBOU..." Crowds gather in the background near the numbered groves while the notorious pirates are identified one by one.

Panic erupts among the marines. One shouts, "THIS IS BAD!! HURRY UP THOSE BACKUPS!!!" Another yells, "HEY!! WHAT'S WRONGI!" A third warns, "IT COULD BE A SERIOUS... IF ALL OF THESE MEN WERE TO JOIN FORCES WITH STRAW HAT LUFFY..." A large man with a scar laughs menacingly, "'CAUSE WE COULDN'T HAVE YOU DOING THAT, NOW, COULD WEEEI! KEHEHEHEH!" while taunting, "OI, OI, OIIIIII!!! I HOPE I DIDN'T JUST SEE YOU REPORTING IN TO YOUR LITTLE MILITARY FRIENDS, NOW, DID II!!" A marine sweats, "I...!! I DIDN'T REPORT IN YET!! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO CONTACT THEM! WHAT'S THISI" The scarred man threatens, "WHY, THIS WHOLE PLACE WOULD END UP STAINED BRIGHT RED!! WITH YOUR MARINE FRIENDS' BLOOD, THAT IS!!!" The scene descends into chaos as the fake crew and brothers clash with marines. Voices overlap: "YA GREAT HULKIN' DIMWIT!", "I AIN'T OVER THERE EITHER!!", "I'M REAL SORRY!!!", "I'M OVER HERE, YA BIG LUNKIN' IDIOT!!!", "UH-HUH!! SORRY, BIG BRO DUDE!! I'M REAL SORRY!!!", and "RIGHT, CORIBOUI!!!" A marine is struck as "MARINE-KILLER CARIBOU" is invoked amid the frenzy.

A massive man in a spotted outfit kneels dramatically, arms raised, begging forgiveness from a Marine. "FORGIVE THIS FOOL OF A MARINE WHO WAS IDIOT ENOUGH TO REACH FOR HIS WEAPON AN' TRY TO KILL ME!!!" he cries. Nearby, another figure with wild hair pleads, "I'M REAL SORRY!! BIG GOD DUDE!!! I'M REAL SORRY!!!" while a third voice wails, "O GOD, I BEG YOUR FORGIVENESS!!! NGUA AAAA HHHH HHHH!!!" A Marine captain stares in shock, muttering, "HE REALLY DID IT... HE'S JUST LIKE THE RUMOURS SAY..." as another Marine snaps, "THAT'S ENOUGH..." and "JOKIN' AROUND!!!" The kneeling man is identified by a bounty poster as "WET-HAIR" CARIBOU, captain of the Caribou Pirates with a 210,000,000 Beli bounty. His co-captain, "BLOOD-SPOTTER" CORIBOU, has a 190,000,000 Beli bounty. A voice from the crowd yells, "...THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT, CARIBOU!!!" while another orders, "BURY HIM, CORIBOU!! BURY THIS FILTHY SINNER OF A MARINE ALIVE!!!" Coribou responds with a menacing "HMMMII" as the scene erupts into chaos with digging sounds and panicked cries of "DIG-UH, DIG-UH... HELP ME...!"

On Sabaody, a large crowd gathers as a mustachioed man in a straw hat declares loudly, "...BUT FROM HERE ON OUT, EVERY ONE OF YOU IS A MEMBER OF MY CREW!! OF THE STRAW HAT PIRATES!!!" He continues, "AN' TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND YOU, MEN!! YOU MAY NOT KNOW THESE FACES NOW..." while the crowd cheers and a voice shouts, "FORGET THAT WORTHLESS LITTLE MARINE BUG!! TOSS HIM OUT AN' LEAVE HIM!!" The impostor Straw Hat Luffy roars, "YEA AAAAHHH HHHH!!!" as his crew reacts with confusion. Nearby, three men discuss: "IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MUSTACHIOED FREAK HAS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION TO THE REAL STRAW HATS... WHO THE HELL IS HEI" and "STILL, YOU GUYS SURE HAVE CHANGED THESE PAST TWO YEARS!! DO YOU NOT TALK ANY MOREI" One asks, "ARE YOU GUYS IN DISGUISE, TOOI" while another notes, "WE'RE ALMOST THERE. ONCE WE GIVE HIM TO THE CAPTAIN, THAT'LL BE THAT." The impostor Luffy yells, "YEEEA AAAHHH HHHH!!!...TO BE MY ARMS AND LEGS IN THE ADVENTURES AHEAD!! TO PUT YOUR LIVES ON THE LINE AND FIGHT TO THE END!!!" and "YEA AAAAHHH HHHH!!!" as the fake crew rallies behind him.

Inside the Shabondome concert stadium on Grove #33, Brook performs energetically on stage as the crowd chants "ENCORE!!" A voice calls, "THEY'RE VERY PERSISTENT, YOU UNDERSTAND. I MUST RETURN TO THE STAGE." Brook replies, "BUT I CANNOT LEAVE RIGHT AWAY... YES... MY FANS ARE CALLING FOR AN ENCORE..." and "SO THE MARINES...! VERY WELL. I SEE...!!!" Suddenly, Marines burst in with weapons drawn, shouting "CHARGE EEEE!!" as Brook yells, "THIS CONCERT IS OVER!!! STOP THE MUSIC!!!" with dramatic Japanese SFX and musical notes filling the air. The stage erupts into panic with "ZUN ZUN" and "HYAAA!!" effects. In the audience and backstage, shocked faces react with "EH!I" and "!I" as Brook's skeleton face appears amid the chaos, the concert ending abruptly.

Marines confront Brook with a massive wanted poster, declaring, "WE HAVE INFORMATION TO SUGGEST THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY AN ASSOCIATE OF THE PIRATE 'STRAW HAT' LUFFY!!! BOUNTY 33,000,000 BELI!! WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT YOU AND THIS PIRATE ARE ONE AND THE SAME!!! ACTING CAPTAIN OF THE RUMBAR PIRATES, KNOWN AS 'HUMMING' BROOK!!!" They announce, "NO... PIRATE BROOK!! WE ARE PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST!!!" and "SOUL KING BROOK!!!" Brook's manager protests, "NO WAY... BROOK-SAMA, A PIRATEI!" while Brook stands shocked. Backstage, the manager accuses, "JUST WHEN YOUR POPULARITY HAD REALLY TAKEN OFF, AND WE WERE ALL SET TO MAKE A KILLING...!!! WHEN YOU TOLD ME IN THE STORE THAT YOU WANTED TO QUIT THE BUSINESS... IT WAS A REAL SHOCK. MR. MANAGER, I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE YOUR DOING." The crowd reacts with "IT'S ALL OVER, BROOK!!" and "THE SOUL KING, A CRIMINALI" as one person says, "YOU BETRAYED US, SOUL KING. OUR BUSINESS IS DOOMED." Brook replies, "BUT COME ON... ISN'T STRAW HAT LUFFY SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD...I" while another mutters, "HE'S A PIRATE...!I"

Brook stands on stage with his band, declaring, "WOULD YOU JOIN ME... IN ONE LAST PERFORMANCEI!" as the crowd reacts with surprise. He continues, "MY CHORUS!! MY DANCERS!!" and "MY BACKING BAND..." while the musicians play. A gunman orders, "DROP THE GUITAR AND PUT YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!!" Brook replies confidently, "WORRY NOT... FOR MY MUSIC HAS BECOME POWERFUL!!" The scene shifts as Brook reflects, "...BUT IT IS ALSO AN 'ISLE OF NEW BEGINNINGS'!!! THIS ISLAND IS AN 'ISLE OF REGRET' FOR US, HOME TO PAINFUL MEMORIES OF DEFEAT... AND IT IS MY DUTY TO MY CREW TO MAKE OUR ADVENTURE AN ENJOYABLE ONE...!!!" A crewmate thanks him, "I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME OVER THESE TWO YEARS!! AND I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME HERE, TO THIS ISLAND!" Another shouts, "ARE YOU CRAZYI! IT'S ALL OVER FOR YOU, BROOK!!" In a dramatic full-page spread, a silhouetted figure points skyward as news spreads: "THE PIRATE 'STRAW HAT' LUFFY... IS ALIVE!!!" A voice responds, "'STRAW HAT' LUFFY... DEAD, YOU SAYI UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS. TELL THE WORLD FROM ME!!"

The crowd erupts in shock at the news of Luffy's survival. A voice narrates, "A MESSAGE TO MY BELOVED COMPANIONS..." while another exclaims, "HOW COULD HIS EMBARKMENT ON THIS NEW JOURNEY POSSIBLY BE A QUIET AFFAIRI!! OH, BABY-!!! THAT MAN WILL ONE DAY BE KING OF THE SEAS...!!!" Fans cheer, "THIS IS HUGE!! I HAVE NEWS!" and demand, "LET US HEAR JUST ONE MORE SONG!! JUST LET HIM SING THIS ONCE!!!" Brook is urged, "DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!! THIS CONCERT IS -" but he declares, "LUFFY-SAN... LET US SAIL ONWARD, TO THE NEW WORLD!!!" The audience roars, "LISTEN, MY FRIENDS!!! TO THIS FINAL SOUL MELODY!!!" Brook performs with explosive energy as the massive sign reads "NEW WORLD" and the crowd sings along wildly. A voice affirms, "THAT'S RIGHT!!! DOES IT MATTER WHO THE SOUL KING REALLY ISI!! YOU SEEI THE MUSIC IS MY ALLY!!"

The Thousand Sunny arrives dramatically at Grove #17 with Chopper shouting, "I KNOW, RIIIIII IIIIII!I CHECK OUT THIS INCREDIBLE BODY!!" as the ship transforms. A sign notes "GROVE #17: ANCHORAGE OF THE THOUSAND SUNNY". Franky, in his new armored form, boasts, "OH, YEAH!! BEARING THE DREAMS AND WONDER OF ALL MEN!! THE MACHINE, IT COMES ALIVE!! AND ITS NAME... 'ARMORED ME'!!!" Chopper reacts with excitement, "AWEEEEE EEEEEE SOME!!" while Usopp panics, "CALM DOWN, CHOPPER!! YOU'LL DIE OF SHEER EXCITEMENT!! YOU'RE LIKE, A MECHHHH!!! DO YOU SHOOT BEAMMMMSI!! DO YOU HAVE MISSILESSSSSI!! WHAT DO YOU 'CONNECT' WITHI!!" Nami arrives carrying shopping bags and greets, "NAMI! YOU LOOK WELL!" as Robin appears, prompting Usopp to yell, "ROBIIIIN!! THE HAND!! IT CAME OUUUUT!!!" Franky questions, "WHATEVER COULD YOU MEANI BUT, FRANKY... HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO ALL YOUR DELICATE SHIP-MAINTENANCE STUFF WITH THOSE GIGANTIC HANDSI"

Franky demonstrates his new nose mechanism, explaining, "JUST HOLD IT DOWN, ABOUT THREE SECO- THE NOSEI HE REPEATED HIMSELF IN ROBOT-STYLE!! DEPRESS THE NOSE FOR A PERIOD OF THREE SECONDS" as the others react with confusion. Nami wonders, "WOW... SO THIS IS A COATING SHIP... WHAT ON EARTH IS UP WITH THAT RIDICULOUS BODY, ANYWAY...I" while Chopper tests, "CHECK THIS OUT! TRY PRESSING THE NOSE!" Franky continues, "WHAT HAS HE BEEN DOING FOR TWO YEARS...I" as his hair suddenly extends, prompting shock: "IT IS. IS YOUR HAIR, LIKE, AUTOMATEDI! THE HAIR!!! IT CAME OUT!!!" Elsewhere, Shakky and Rayleigh appear. A voice calls, "RAYLEIGH-SAN! SHAKKIE!!" Rayleigh replies, "HELLO THERE!" while noting, "IT LOOKS LIKE THE SITUATION HERE HAS BECOME A LITTLE COMPLICATED." In the background, someone screams, "AAAAHHH!! HE STUCK 'MECHA' ON THE END OF HIS SENTENCE!! DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. THAT BIG EVENT CAN WAIT UNTIL LUFFY GETS BACK-MECHA. SHOW ME YOUR WEAPONS!! YOUR WEAPONS!!"

A voice reports, "I'VE BEEN TAPPING THEIR COMMUNICATIONS, SO THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT." Another continues, "...AND ARE MOUNTING A SERIOUS OPERATION." "YES, THEY'VE MISTAKEN THE FAKE MONKEY-CHAN'S CREW FOR THE REAL THING..." "THE MARINESI" In the next panels, a long-nosed man exclaims, "R... RIGHT!!" while a blonde woman in a bikini leans forward, "I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT HOW TO DIRECT A COATING VESSEL. MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION." She adds, "I'LL DO MY BEST!" A skeleton in a suit states, "HE SHOULD BE JOINING US SHORTLY." A woman with dark hair replies, "I'VE INFORMED BROOK-CHAN OF THE SITUATION AS WELL, THROUGH THE DEN-DEN MUSHI IN THE STADIUM." The skeleton muses, "OH...I SO HE'S ABANDONING HIS LIFE AS A STAR... THAT SKELETON SURE HAS GUTS." A close-up shows a bearded man with glasses saying, "...HAS ALREADY ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND." He reassures, "DON'T YOU WORRY, LUFFY..." From a balcony, someone calls out, "WELL, WHAT'S THIS NOWI EVERYONE'S TENSION SEEMS TO BE ON THE RISE!" Another voice worries, "BUT, RAYLEIGH!! WHAT ABOUT LUFFYI HE'S STILL NOT..."

A dark-haired woman with sunglasses smiles, "THAT'S NICE TO HEAR...!" Nearby faces react with shock and excitement. A small figure with a straw hat sticks out its tongue. A woman with black hair speaks into a den-den mushi, "...BUT I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS VIVRE CARD WITH YOU. THAT'S WHAT HE'LL BE FOLLOWING, YESI" She adds, "LOOKS LIKE MONKEY-CHAN IS THE ONLY ONE WE HAVEN'T MADE CONTACT WITH..." A voice answers, "WELL, WE HAD BETTER HURRY. IT WON'T BE LONG NOW BEFORE THE MARINES ARRIVE." Another confirms, "I SEE... PERFECT." A small figure notes, "...I GAVE SANJI A BABY DEN-DEN MUSHI. HE STOPPED BY HERE AT THE SHIP. HE'S WITH ZORO RIGHT NOW." In a large panel, Rayleigh points forward with intensity, "...FOR YOU TO SET SAIL ONCE MORE!!!" He continues, "GROVE #42 SEEMS LIKE A SAFE BET... IT'S RIGHT ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE ARCHIPELAGO. GET THE WHOLE CREW TOGETHER. IT MAY GET A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT THE TIME HAS COME, AFTER TWO LONG YEARS..."
