If you are a pirate among pirates among pirates among pirates, then gather your steadfast crew of friends and set sail for our island. Upon finding an advertisement with these words on it for Omatsuri Island, the only recreational resort on the Grand Line, Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Crew set out for it immediately. Enticed by the island's casinos, spas, beautiful women, and exquisite cuisine, the crew are eager to relax and enjoy themselves. Much to their disappointment though, they are told upon arrival that they will first have to pass Baron Omatsuri's Ordeals of Hell. Once they complete this series of challenges, they will be able to enjoy the resort. However, problems begin to surface the longer they stay on the island. As strange events continue to unfold, the Straw Hat Crew find themselves at odds with one another, disagreeing at every turn. Will the Straw Hat Crew be able to figure out the truth behind Omatsuri Island, or will they fall apart from infighting first?

Nami betrays the Straw Hat crew and steals their ship and treasures, escaping to Arlong Park. Luffy and his crew follow her, only to come face to face with the infamous pirate Arlong, a ruthless fish-man who has taken over Nami's home island with force and Naval bribes. As opinions clash and the Straw Hats attempt to convince Nami to rejoin the team, her true motivation behind the deception will be revealed at last.

After Brook questions the origin of the Mini Merry name, Usopp and Chopper Tony Tony recall the adventures of the Straw Hat Crew's beloved ship, friend, and crew member—the Going Merry. Ussop abandons the crew for a fight over the Going Merry while Robin Nico leaves with the government's top assassin group, CP9. In order to bring the crew back together, Monkey D. Luffy and the remaining Straw Hats follow Robin to rescue her from the claws of the World Government.

The special will revisit the childhood past of the three sworn brothers Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, when they all dreamed of becoming pirates. In addition, it will depict how Sabo originally came into the kingdom of Dressrosa (which was not depicted in Eiichiro Oda's original manga or the television anime), as well as his reunion with Luffy from his point of view.
