| abstract | - The One Piece Rap, officially titled One Piece Theme and sometimes refered to as the Gum-Gum Rap or the Pirate Rap, is the introduction used by 4Kids in their dub of One Piece. It is rapped by Shawn Conrad, better known by his stage name "Freshco". Despite using an English version of We Are! in early promotional material, 4Kids decided to use this theme in all episodes of their English dub. The opening's visuals used animation from both the Japanese opening and endings as well as episodes from the series itself. Additionally, an abridged instrumental version of the song was used during the dub's closing credits. This song originally appeared on the old 4Kids corporate site at 4KidsEntertainment.com. A version of this song was also used for the English version of the game Grand Battle with slightly different lyrics. The song was released by Cherry Lane Records as part of the digital album 'Music From 4Kids TV' on October 18, 2005, sharing a track with Be A Pirate and 'You Can't Turn The Tide'.
