[edit] Opening
The One Piece title which turn into the Straw Hats; jolly roger which in turn turns into the Going Merry as it sails on. Gold Roger narrates as the world of the series is shown on the side of the ship with images of the Straw Hat crew running in the top right side. After Roger finish, still freeze frame shot of the Straw Hat (which now include Chopper and Robin) are show till we reach Luffy. He does a few stretching attacks till he punches the screen. Zoro next doing the same (except with his swords) then to Nami who creates a Thunder tempo which nearly hits Usopp, he hops on a cannon and fire it at a rock where Chopper come flying off morphing into his different Points (or Boosts) ending in his Guard Point where Sanji, whose cooking, kicks him into the air before throwing up the food as well. Chopper, back in regular form lands on his shoulders as Sanji and he catch the dishes. Sanji nearly falls over but hands sprout up to catch him thanks to Robin who just smiles. We then go to a overhead shot of the crew, then the ship, then the world before the logo come up.
The camera sweep the Going Merry as it sail with her crew doing various things. After this we see the Straw Hat battling as storm and trying to keep the Merry afloat. They manage and get a sunrise as a reward. Next is the crew seeing the dolphin sea king (from the end of Little Garden) though it made to look like a normal one till it splash near them and nearly capsizes the ship. Finally we get one more shot of the crew as they sail on toward a sunset then a still shot of the crew posing in different outfits. (Luffy wearing a captain's coat over him.)
[edit] Lyrics
僕は今 さがしはじめた 水しぶきあげて
果てしなく続く世界へ
あふれだす情熱を胸に どこまでも行くよ
まだ見ぬヒカリ 求め
夏色太陽が ココロの帆をゆらせば
あたらしい世界への 扉を開く合図
波間にゆれてる 絶望を抜けて
水平線の向こう側 目指して
僕は今 さがしはじめた 水しぶきあげて
果てしなく続く世界へ
あふれだす情熱を胸に どこまでも行くよ
まだ見ぬヒカリ 求め
きまりきった毎日と ありふれた雲の流れ
君にも映ってる 知るはずもない未来
変わらないことで 傷つかなくても
それじゃ夢も希望さえもない さぁ行こう
僕はなぜ さがしてるんだろう 何がほしいんだろう
答えはきっとその先に
動き出す世界の中へ ココロして行くよ
まだ見ぬチカラ秘めて
僕はなぜ さがしてるんだろう 何がほしいんだろう
まだ見ぬタカラはどこに
あふれだす情熱を胸に どこまで行ける？
わからないけれど
僕は今 さがしはじめた 水しぶきあげて
果てしなく続く世界へ
あふれだす情熱を胸に どこまでも行くよ
まだ見ぬ光 求め
その 向こうへ

[edit] English Translation
I began my search
With a blast of water
Toward a boundless, everlasting world
With this overflowing passion in my chest,
I'll go anywhere,
Seeking the light I've never seen
When the summer-colored shakes the sail of my heart
It's a sign the door to a new world has opened
Swaying between the waves,
I can escape despair,
For the horizen on the other side
Yea, yea , yea, yea
Is what I aim for
I began my search
With a blast of water
Toward a boundless everlasting world
With this overflowing passion in my chest,
I'll go anywhere
Seeking the light I've never seen
[edit] FUNimation Dub
I think back to the time when my search first began
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there
I know that with this burning passion driving me
Some day some where I'll finally
see the light I have searched for everywhere
When the summer sun is shining
Shaking the sails of my heart, I know (Fly away glum blue sea)
A brand new world that had been hiding
has opened up its doors for me to go (Fly away glum blue sky)
Swaying in the troubled waves
From all despair I can be saved
For the horizon on the other side is yeah yeah yeah yeah what I aim for
And though I traveled far from where my search began
Over seas of green and shores of sand
Through the endless everlasting world out there
I know that with this burning passion driving me
Some day, some where, I'll finally
see the light I have searched for everywhere
