Lyrics Edit Japanese Kanjiīoku wa ima sagashi hajimeta mizushibuki agete Finally, there is a still shot of the crew posing in different outfits, with Luffy wearing a captain's coat over his clothes. Finally, one more shot of the crew is given as they sail on toward a sunset. Next, the crew sees a dolphin sea king (resembling the one from the beginning of the Little Garden Arc) that looks normal until it splashes near them and nearly capsizes the ship. They survive and get a sunrise as a reward. After this, the Straw Hats battle a storm and try to keep the Merry afloat. The camera sweeps over the Going Merry as it sails with her crew doing various things. An overhead shot of the crew is given, the Going Merry is shown again, and the world appears before the logo comes up. Sanji nearly falls over, but Robin catches him with her ability and smiles. Chopper, back in regular form, lands on his shoulders as Sanji and he catch the dishes.

Chopper comes flying off of the rock, morphing into his different points before ending in his Guard Point where Sanji, who is cooking, kicks him into the air and throws up the food as well. Zoro does the same with his swords, Nami creates a Thunder Tempo which nearly hits Usopp, who hops on a cannon and fires it at a rock. He does a few stretching attacks before punching the screen. After Roger finishes, a still frame of the Straw Hats (including Chopper and Robin) is show until Luffy is shown. Roger narrates as the world is shown on the side of the ship with images of the Straw Hats running on the top right side. The One Piece title appears and turns into the Straw Hats, then a Jolly Roger, and finally the Going Merry. It was first used on Episode 116 and last used in Episode 168. It was also the first opening to be featured as an opening in the FUNimation dub. It was sung by The Babystars and by Vic Mignogna for the FUNimation dub. ' Hikari e' or ' Towards the Light' in English, was the song sung for the third opening song of the One Piece anime.
