![]() At first, she initially seems to be a stereotypical damsel in distress character who has to be rescued by the other Straw Hats. She not only gets a lot of screen time, but she’s a major, major character who drives the plot too. The main highlight of One Piece: Strong World is, in my opinion, Nami. And that marks the end of One Piece: Strong World. The monsters are even peaceful now that Shiki isn’t enraging them with drugs anymore. Oh, and the bird-people survive by taking to the air when the islands started falling, and they rebuild their village with Billy as their new guardian. They fail though, and the Straw Hats continue on their adventure. The Navy arrests what’s left of the Golden Lion Pirates, and tries to arrest the Straw Hats too. The floating islands fall back into the sea to bob like oversized corks. Soon though, even Shiki himself is no more, having even been knocked into the sea by Luffy to drown. ![]() Which he thinks is horrible, given that he was going to use them to conquer the East Blue…somehow. Combined with the rest of the Straw Hats invading, and Shiki’s compound and army are soon no more. The trees’ destruction allows the monsters to get in and destroy the compound. Shiki’s agents catch her in the act, but she still manages to detonate the bombs anyways, thanks to Billy. Nami actually uses her agreement as a ruse to plant bombs on the trees protecting Shiki’s own compound. It seems like at this point in One Piece: Strong World that Shiki has won.Įxcept, not really. Thus allowing the monsters to get in and destroy everything. For added evilness, Shiki then destroys the village by ripping up the trees protecting them. This gets Nami to agree to go back with him. He beats up the Straw Hat crew present in the village and holds them hostage. Things then take a turn for the worse when Shiki himself shows up, courtesy of a big camera snail watching everyone. The town only has children and elderly women left, because apparently, Shiki took everyone else to be slaves. With the help of a new electric peacock-duck-thing (who Luffy later names Billy), she escapes out of the prison’s swimming pool and meets back up with most of the other Straw Hats in a village of feathered bird-people. Fortunately, she isn’t content to stay a prisoner. With that explained, One Piece: Strong World then jumps back to the present day in Nami’s prison. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a mistake, as Shiki uses the opportunity to kidnap Nami for his own crew and to scatter the Straw Hats all across his floating islands. ![]() Shiki, after executing his head navigator out of sight of the Straw Hats, then decides to give them a lift to their next destination, which is the East Blue after reading news articles about mysterious attacks on random towns there. Apparently, the Straw Hats, specifically Nami, helped the Golden Lion Pirates out of hitting a sudden storm. You’d think the giant caterpillar would want slower prey, but I guess not.įortunately, the story then transitions to a flashback by Nami to explain how they all got there. If you want to see Nami kick ass for yourself, stop here, and come back once you’ve escaped from the giant mutant animals. Warning: spoilers for One Piece: Strong World below. Amazon is selling the film as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, but it’s unavailable as of this writing. Unfortunately, we don’t have a release date for any home media releases.

The former date will show the English dub version, and the latter will show the version with Japanese audio with English subtitles. One Piece: Strong World will show in theaters on Novemand Novemas part of a 2-night theatrical event celebrating the 1000th episode of One Piece. Oh, and lastly, Toei Animation produced this film, with Toei Company distributing. Kohei Tanaka and Shirō Hamaguchi are the composers for the film. Kazuhiro Yamada is responsible for cinematography, with Masahiro Gotō doing the editing. The anime film also has Munehisa Sakai ( Sailor Moon Crystal, Zombie Land Saga) as the director. I don’t know how many of you decided to watch a bootlegged version precisely because it took so long, and I’m not going to ask.īut anyways, One Piece: Strong World features an original story by Eiichiro Oda himself. Strong World itself actually released in Japan back in 2009, and it’s only now that US audiences can see the film in theaters for the first time in both English dub and the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. One Piece: Strong World is the 10th feature-length anime film for the One Piece franchise by Eiichiro Oda, out of a grand total of 14 so far. Really, Nami should be in the front here.
