Since the premiere of the series on television, Toei Animation has also produced twelve
One Piece feature films, traditionally released during the Japanese school spring break since 2000.The first three films were less than an hour long and played as part of
a double-bill with other anime films. In typical fashion for films
based on serialized manga, the films feature self-contained, completely
original plots with animation of higher quality than what the weekly
anime allows for. The films are distributed by Toei Company.
Additionally, three of these films have had special featurette shorts, showcasing the characters engaged in various activities unrelated to the series. They were shown dancing in
Jango's Dance Carnival with
Clockwork Island Adventure; playing soccer in
Dream Soccer King! with
Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals; and playing baseball in
Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King with
The Cursed Holy Sword.

boat. Following the scent of food, they quickly arrive at a floating oden
bar, run by Tobio's grandfather, Ganzo. El Drago and his crew land on

his help, and using their map, starts leading them around. Meanwhile

Island to make the Straw Hats fight the Trump Siblings. The Trump
Siblings Boo Jack, Honey Queen, Skunk One, Pin Joker and Bear King (the
leader), are another pirate crew who occupied Clockwork Island for years
and forced its inhabitants to build weapons. A number of ships bearing

With Chopper as their newest member, the Straw Hats arrive at the
Island of Strange Animals. Before they can land, a geyser-like fountain
sends their ship flying. Chopper falls off and lands in the middle of a
gathering of animals. They are performing a ritual, which according to
their legend, is supposed to cause a king to fall from the heavens.
Believing that legend fulfilled, they proclaim Chopper their new king.
The other Straw Hats, searching for their lost crewmate, make the
acquaintance of the self-proclaimed genius and expert treasure hunter
Count Butler, with his henchmen General Hot Dog and President Snake.
Butler is in search of the horns of a particular animal living on the
island, which when eaten bestows great power upon the eater. For that
purpose, he uses a hoard of bovinae-like
animals called horn eaters, which he controls by playing music on a
special violin, to round up horn bearing animals. The Straw Hats,
unknowingly, lead Butler to Chopper and the group of animals, whose king
he has become. Butler gives the gathered animals an ultimatum, to hand
over their king, whose horns he believes to be what he is looking for,
or to be crushed by his horn eaters. But Chopper does not need to be
turned over. He steps forward himself and lures the horn eaters away
from the island's animals. A fight ensues and it does not take long
until the remaining Straw Hats join in to take their fill. Zoro takes on
Hot Dog and Sanji fights with Snake, while Usopp and Nami take care of
the horn eaters. Butler fights with Chopper and is about to finish him
off, when Momambi, a young boy and only human inhabitant of the island

them down, and transforms into a large, horned, gorilla-like animal.
With that he appears to be winning, until the islands animals and Luffy
enter the fight. Luffy defeats Butler, breaks his horns, thus canceling
his transformation, and sends him flying. Mobambi fears to be exiled
from the island for losing the former king's horns, but instead is
elected to be the new animal king.

In a port town pub, the once again flat broke Straw Hats witness a
suspicious exchange between a customer and the proprietor. Nami
immediately senses money and endeavors to convince the host to give her
whatever information he had given him. The other Straw Hats join in and
soon he is persuaded. He shows them to a backdoor, behind which they
find a long and winding tunnel. That tunnel leads to a large underground
chamber, where a number of pirate crews have a gathering. The island
they are on, turns out to be the starting point of an irregularly
occurring, anything-goes sailing competition. For a moment, the Straw
Hats weigh whether it is wise to join in the race, considering that two
giants and a crew of fish-men, who were once the rivals of Arlong's
gang, were participating as well. But once they learn the height of the
price money, not entering is out of the question. From the bookmaker
they receive an eternal pose,
to lead them to the goal of the race. Free food is available at the
bottom of the chamber and Luffy makes extensive use of it. His eating
habit of stealing other people's food quickly angers the bounty hunter
Shuraiya Bascùd, as well as a group of men from General Gasparde's crew.
Gasparde is a deserted marine, with a bounty more than three times as
high as Luffy's and said to be the race's favorite. A fight arises, and
after Luffy and Shuraiya beat up his men, they find themselves standing
before the general himself. He is impressed with their skill and offers
both of them to work under him. Of course they refuse, but Luffy finds
some insulting words to do it and is caught off guard by Gasparde's
right-hand man, Needles. Luffy's courage impresses Gasparde even more.
He renews his offer, orders Needles to let go of the rookie pirate, and
leaves the room. The next morning, a strong ocean current starts the
race, by pushing the ships upstream over the island. As soon as they are
over the top, the various crews start shooting broadsides, board each
other's ships, and ram their competitors out of the water. But once the
island is left behind, the field quickly clears up, leaving the Straw
Hats time to eat. While inspecting the ship, Zoro discovers a boy named
Anaguma, who had stowed away in order to earn money by killing some
pirate to buy medicine for his adoptive grandfather, who works as an
engineer on Gasparde's partially steam powered ship. The race continues.
After fighting yet another rival crew and an encounter with a group of
large sea kings, they arrive at the island the eternal pose is pointing
to. The eternal poses were all mislabeled and led the fleet of
unsuspecting pirates into reach of the cannons of the navy stronghold
Navarone. Luffy has no doubt as to whose fault it is. They turn around
and, using Chopper's fine nose, attempt to catch up with Gasparde's
ship. Shuraiya, who had followed Gasparde's invitation to come along on
his ship, turns against him to take revenge for Gasparde's killing his
parents and sister. He fights Needles and throws him over board, but
stands no chance against Gasparde's Syrup-Syrup Logia-type
powers, which allow him to turn parts or all of his body into liquid or
solid candy. The general is about to kill the bounty hunter, when the
Straw Hats arrive and catch his attention. Luffy confronts him and the
two engage in a fierce but one-sided battle. Any attack Luffy throws at
his opponent causes his limbs to get stuck in Gasparde's body. Only
after Sanji gives two sacks of flour to Luffy, can he overcome the
villain's ability. Anaguma turns out to be a girl and Shuraiya's
thought-dead sister, Adele Bascùd. With all their competitors taken out,
the Straw Hats are about to arrive at the goal of the race, when a
fleet of navy ships appears and forces them to abandon their prize
money.

center of the local Marine division. There, he encounters Saga, the
leader of the center and owner of the Seven Star Sword, who made Zoro
take the balls to revive that swords slumbering power. Luffy fights him,
but falls from a cliff. The Seven Stars Sword was that which had ruined
the country of Asuka with its cursed power a long time ago and had
therefore been sealed. But with a night of a red full moon, that occurs
only once every hundred years, the jewel balls in his possession, and
Zoro on his side, only the remaining Straw Hats stand in Saga's way to
reviving the swords true power.

pirates and wishing to separate them. He and his henchmen seed distrust
among the Straw Hats and capture them one by one, leaving only Luffy to

using the style often seen in Mamoru Hosoda's films. Some of the later
episodes use styles similar to those seen in this movie.
The story also differs from the usually carefree and high strung
style of writing that One Piece follows. The movie follows a darker
style of writing which was received with mixed reviews.
