The East Blue arc remade with animation that actually matches what you imagined when you first read it. Every frame looks like it cost money, every emotional beat lands harder because you're seeing it through a modern lens, and the cover stories woven into the ending hit different when they're finally moving on screen. This isn't for new viewers. This is for the people who've carried those early crew moments with them for twenty years.

Ten years after Red-Haired Shanks saved his life and lost an arm doing it, Luffy leaves his village wearing the straw hat Shanks entrusted to him, set on becoming the King of the Pirates. Long ago he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, which turned his body to rubber and took away his ability to swim. In time he is joined by a crew: the pirate hunter Zoro, the sniper Usopp, the cook Sanji and the thief Nami. Before heading for the Grand Line, the Straw Hats make their vows together. Made for the manga's 20th anniversary, this special re-animates the story from its opening up to the crew's entry into the Grand Line. It also features an anniversary version of the opening song "We Are!" and animated chapter cover stories during the ending credits.
