The 10 second version of the plot to One Piece Heart of Gold: Treasure hunter Mad Treasure and the Marines are both chasing a little girl, Olga Myskina, hoping that she can lead them to a treasure called Pure Gold, supposedly worth enough to buy the whole world. And I thought Lucci was supposed to play a much larger role than a brief conversation with a subordinate.” Eventually, it dawned on me that this was the special leading up to the Gold film. That villain doesn’t look a thing like the shots I’ve seen. On my first watch, I spent about the first half of the special thinking “this looks nothing like the images I’ve seen. I had seen some promotional images for the newest One Piece movie prior to sitting down to One Piece Heart of Gold. I’ll check them out when they come out, but they’re definitely not the focus of my fandom. The reason I bring this up is that, despite being a huge fan of One Piece, I don’t regularly keep up with everything about the movies and specials. I’ve personally found the One Piece ones to be at least as consistent as the Dragon Ball Z movies and probably have a better batting average than the Naruto movies. That’s kind of the nature of Shounen series movies, though. Some are definitely worth the time, others aren’t. That being said, I find the movies and specials to be very hit or miss. I keep current on the manga, keep up with the anime, have several Portrait of Pirates figures, etc.

So, of the Mithical staff, I am almost certainly the biggest One Piece fanboy.
