One Piece Film: Gold
Thirty-three countries, including Australia and New Zealand, will screen the film.
The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Set in Grantesoro, an independent country chartered by the World Government, home of the world’s greatest entertainment city where well-known pirates, [Marines], and millionaires throughout the world gather in an “absolute sanctuary” that even the World Government can’t touch.
There, Luffy and the others meet the ruler of the country, the golden emperor Guild Tesoro who easily wins pirates, the [Marines], and even the World Government over to his side with money. He is about to take action to satisfy his bottomless ambition which may result in major changes in power relationships in the New World…
Eight hundred manga chapters, 750 anime episodes and 13 movies after the manga’s 1997 release, One Piece is still gaining momentum as a world-conquering anime franchise.
