I've said it now to follow my dream to find the One Piece and become King of the Pirates.

Transition words & phrases

Yeah, come aboard mateys, because today we're learning English with one of Netflix's most popular series ever, One Piece.

One Piece, originally a Japanese anime, follows Monkey D.

Luffy, a young pirate with rubber powers who dreams of discovering the legendary treasure called One Piece and becoming the next Pirate King.

Along his journey, Luffy assembles a diverse crew of misfits called the Straw Hat Pirates.

And together they face powerful enemies, they uncover mysteries, and they form unbreakable bonds of friendship.

So we thought that there's no better moment to bring you a new lesson with One Piece.

And imagine impressing your friends or your boss by confidently using some of the advanced expressions that we're going to learn today in your next meeting presentation or just chilling at the bar.

Well, the easiest way to ensure that you remember all the new words so that you can use them confidently and naturally is with the One Piece flashcards on our real life app.

You can get free access to that by clicking the link down in the description.

And now lets get to know future Pirate King Luffy a little bit better.

When you set out to do something, you begin a journey or start working toward a goal with determination.

There's a sense of adventure and commitment.

Luffy isn't just thinking about his dream.

He's actively beginning the journey to achieve it.

We didn't set out to be superheroes, but sometimes life doesn't go the way you planned.

A crew refers to a group of people working together, especially on a ship.

However, you can use it as slang to talk about a group of your friends.

Like after work, I'm planning to meet at the bar with my crew.

Should do is a casual way to say would be enough or would be sufficient.

So when Luffy says 10 men should do, he means 10 people would be the right amount for his crew.

This will keep them rotten critters from stealing our food.

Then let's check out a great instance of connected speech.

How we natives cut, reduce and link our words together influence speech.

Mastering this not only will help you to speak more naturally yourself, but

it will also help you to understand natives.

No matter how fast they speak, it's not going to be easy.

So first off, as often happens in fluent speech, we don't hear the T in its.

So instead it sounds like ISS is When a word ends in a vowel plus t and is followed by a consonant, it usually becomes a glottal T.

This basically means that instead of releasing a full T, we cut it off at the back of the throat.

And you probably already know that natives often morph going to into gonna it.

If you want to sound fluent, you need lots of practice.

Luffy is basically saying will you be a part of my crew and support my dream?

Lets practice some more connected speech.

Shows up all the time in English and we actually usually say it like what do you.

Obviously this seagull does not have much faith in Luffy.

Mutiny is when crew members rebel against their captain or leader.

The crew is basically saying we refuse to follow you as our leader.

In the original manga and anime, Luffy's crew eventually grows way beyond his initial plan of 10 people, and

they become one of the most loyal crews in the entire One Piece world.

Now we're going to jump forward to the end of the first season, where we see Luffy go from being the clueless boy that we just saw sinking into the ocean to making his dream of becoming a notorious pirate come true.
