"Dreams continue to a place where you can laugh with someone" - A map given to us by One Piece
Introduction
No one knows what lies beyond the sea.
Places not depicted on maps, beyond the wind, beyond the horizon.
Still, it's dreams that steer us in the right direction.
"ONE PIECE" is the story of those who believe in such dreams.
No matter how many times someone laughs at you or how many times you fall, keep moving forward.
It's not just an adventure story.
It is a voyage of hope that depicts the preciousness of "sharing" one's dreams with someone.
And we too are drawing our own personal navigation charts in our daily lives.
Even if you can't see where you're going, if you have friends you believe in, the wind will surely be on your side.
Straw hats: the shape of freedom
Luffy's straw hat is not just a hat.
It is a "proof of freedom entrusted to you" and also a "promise to your comrades."
The hat he received from Shanks has the past and future woven into it.
Transforming the feelings received from others into your own way of life──
That was Luffy's voyage.
Freedom doesn't mean living however you want.
Carrying someone else's hopes on your shoulders, you continue to choose the path you believe in.
From that moment on, freedom turns into responsibility.
But it is that responsibility that makes life interesting.
Looking at Luffy's back, I realize that freedom is not "loneliness" but "trust."
To take over someone else's dream with a smile.
That may be the meaning behind the straw hat.
Pirate flags: a symbol of bonds
A pirate flag is not just a mark.
It is a "sign" that unites the souls of our comrades.
People with different pasts laugh together under the same flag...
That is the strength of ONE PIECE.
Nami's tears, Zoro's vow, Sanji's plate, Usopp's lie.
All come together under one flag.
Bonds may not be visible to the eye, but they do sway in the wind.
Even in the midst of storms and betrayal, as long as the flag waves, our hearts will not break.
"I will become the Pirate King."
If someone just laughs at those words, the flag will be raised.
Talking about dreams can sometimes be embarrassing and sometimes scary.
But if you have friends who will make you laugh, that dream can become a reality.
The Grand Line──Life's Voyage
The Grand Line is an unpredictable sea.
Common sense doesn't apply and maps are useless.
But Luffy and the others just laugh and move on.
Isn't that what life is all about?
Even if you don't know which way to go,
If you have friends laughing, you don't need a map.
Who you go with is more important than where you go.
That is the navigation technique that ONE PIECE taught us.
Life, like the Grand Line, is uncertain and full of ups and downs.
But that's what makes it interesting.
That's why the moments when you can laugh with someone become treasures.
Summary: Dreams continue to a place where you can laugh with someone
ONE PIECE is not a story about chasing dreams.
It's a story about "sharing" a dream with someone.
Dreams you have alone may just be illusions.
But dreams you have while laughing with someone can become reality.
WABISUKE also wants to create such "poetry for sharing."
Products, spaces, words, and colors - all of these are meant to reach someone's heart.
So that we can gently accompany each person on their journey through life.
"What is at the end of the sea?"
It's much more important to have friends who are also working towards that goal than to know it.
The dream continues to a place where I can laugh with someone.
And that map is still in our hands.
