In accordance with the annual release schedule, a new feature film of the highly popular manga "One Piece" has recently been announced. This time, it will closely follow the ongoing serialization and dive straight into the "New World Arc," which is very much anticipated. The previous film, "ONE PIECE FILM STRONG WORLD," scripted and produced by the original author Eiichiro Oda, grossed an impressive 4.8 billion yen in 2009, even surpassing "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance." There's hope that this time, with Oda's direct involvement in the production entering the New World arc, it will be just as successful.
