What is it about? The treasure the Straw Hat crew is searching for in this film is the sword of the Seven Stars. It is said to be located on the island of Aska. However, the sword is supposed to be cursed. The curse causes a red moon to appear over the island every 100 years. The sword has other properties as well. It can heal its owner and strengthen itself and the sword-wielding fighter through blood.
Unfortunately, Zoro gets lost in this film, and to make matters worse, the Marines show up. Therefore, it is up to the Straw Hat crew to safely find their comrade.
What is special about it? The swordsman Zoro is the undisputed star of this film. If you are a big fan of the swordsman, you can watch the film with peace of mind.
Rank 11: One Piece – Adventure on Spiral Island
- Release Year: 2001
- Rating: 6.6/10 (based on 3,116 ratings)
- When does the film take place? Shortly after leaving Logue Town
What is it about? The Straw Hat crew is not hunting for treasure this time but heading to a vacation paradise. They relax on the beach until they notice that the Flying Lamb has been stolen.
During the film, not only the ship but also Nami gets kidnapped. The rest of the pirate crew sets out for Spiral Fountain Island to confront the thieving crew, the Trump Pirates.
What is special about it? The film is hilariously chaotic and doesn’t have a real red thread. So if you are looking for a rather relaxed film where you can laugh heartily, this film might be something for you.
