Synopsis

After the Going Merry is stolen, Monkey D. Luffy and his crew join the self-styled Thief Brothers in tracing the ship to Clockwork Island. The island and its inhabitants are controlled by the Trump Pirates, whose captain Bear King is overseeing construction of a powerful cannon and becomes determined to force Nami into marrying him.

The non-canonical adventure uses the five-member Straw Hat lineup established at the end of the East Blue Saga, including Sanji. Its status quo most closely resembles the period after Loguetown but before the crew’s major Grand Line alliances. The film is notable for its vertical island setting, playing-card-themed antagonists, and greater scale compared with its theatrical predecessor.
