(ウィーアー! Wī Ā!?), performed by Hiroshi Kitadani. The second opening, starting with episode 48 onwards, is "Believe" by Folder5. The first ending theme, titled "Memories", was performed by Maki Otsuki, who also performed the second ending theme song, titled "Run! Run! Run!", starting with episode 30 onwards. Funimation produced the English versions of the songs, with "We Are!" sung by Vic Mignogna, "Believe" sung by Meredith McCoy, "Memories" sung by Brina Palencia, and "Run! Run! Run!" sung by Caitlin Glass. 4Kids originally produced an English version of "We Are!" themselves, but replaced it with a rap song, titled "Pirate Rap", for the first thirty episodes, and "Pirate Rap V2 (with Usopp & Sanji)", for the remaining episodes.[3] Both versions were performed by Russell Velasquez. An instrumental version of the rap was used for the broadcast version's ending theme.
