One Piece (TV Series)

Anta ga chunjuu! Gaimon to kimyou na nakama (2000)

Jonathan C. Osborne: Gaimon

Quotes 

• Gaimon : Straw Hat... Strive for your dream, for me. You, if anyone, will surely get the legendary treasure, the One Piece! And then buy the world!

• Gaimon : But who are you guys? You're nothing like any of the other pirates who've come here.

  Monkey D Luffy : I'm Luffy! The man who's gonna be King of the Pirates!

  Gaimon : W-What?

  Monkey D Luffy : I'm gonna be King of the Pirates and get the One Piece!

  Gaimon : Don't tell me you're seriously planning to enter the Grand Line?

  Monkey D Luffy : We even have a chart of the Grand Line!

  Gaimon : Don't take it lightly! That place is Hell, or a graveyard! I once saw pirates who'd managed to escape from the Grand Line! They looked almost like people who had died and lost their souls! Something incredibly horrific must've happened, or they must've run into monsters or something... Not a single one of them even tried to speak.

  Gaimon : On top of that, rumors about the One Piece spawn even more rumors, so there's no telling what's true or not! Some 20-odd years since the start of the Great Pirate Era, the One Piece is already a dream within a dream beyond a legend!

• Monkey D Luffy : But I've never seen a person stuffed inside a treasure chest before! Are you a boxed and sheltered son?

  Gaimon : Yeah. I've been overly pampered since I was just a little boy...

  [pause] 

  Gaimon : Of course I'm not! I can't get out of this box! I've been alone on this island and in this box for 20 years now!

  Roronoa Zoro : [Zoro who was sleeping all this time joins the conversation 5 minutes later]  W-Who's this guy?

  Nami : Notice sooner.

  Monkey D Luffy : He's a guy stuffed in a treasure chest!

  Roronoa Zoro : Are you a boxed and sheltered son?

  Gaimon : Yeah. I've been overly pampered since I was just a little boy...

  [pause] 

  Gaimon : Of course I'm not! Don't do the same stupid gag twice!

• Gaimon : [Gaimon rejects Luffy's invite to join his crew]  Yeah, Straw Hat. Even if there's no treasure, there's something else I want to protect.

  Nami : Eh?

  Usopp : Something you want to protect?

  Gaimon : I've shared hard times and happy times with these guys for 20 years. I can't leave them now. Now that I know there's no treasure, I somehow finally feel free. I think I can really live a life I want now. Plus, I've actually grown a bit fond of being in this box!
