Overview
20 years after his escape from Impel Down, the legendary pirate Shiki, the Golden Lion, reappears causing massive upheaval to the Marines. During his long seclusion, he was able to come up with a scheme to bring the World Government to his knees. On his way to execute the plan, Shiki crosses paths with the Straw Hat Pirates and becomes so impressed with Nami’s knowledge of meteorology that he abducts her to forcedly enlist her into his crew. Luffy and the gang end up on a strange land populated with monstrous beasts as they desperately search for Shiki and Nami.

Viewing Notes
This was the second movie in my double feature at Century Boulder. I didn’t know this was a thing (Fathom Events celebrating the 1000th episode of One Piece) until I saw it mentioned in my TL. So glad I caught that and was able to see this movie b/c it’s definitely one of the better One Piece films (of the three I’ve seen). And unlike ONE PIECE 3D that preceded it, this was done in the usual 2D cel animation style of the tv series. That was a relief b/c I was worried while viewing ONE PIECE 3D.
The only downside of watching this is that this story occurs around halfway into the series continuity so there are characters I’m still not familiar with since I am woefully behind in viewing the episodes. Didn’t detract from how awesome this movie is but did make me wish I had more knowledge on certain characters. This is one I will revisit once I reach that point in the ongoing story.
Also weird that on this day Netflix announced the live action cast for the upcoming One Piece feature (or series?). Looks interesting. Very curious how this will translate to live action since it’s so fantastical.
