I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch this short, I mean, it's just a pre-movie short to be bundled with the actual movie, but the storytelling & comedy in this one is pure perfection. Without giving any spoilers, this is probably the author's favourite bit from the entire One Piece show, for a very special reason. the artstyle has some elements that are a bit different than usual, if I understand it correctly (by watching it), there's a 3d environment with 2d animated characters on top. when I saw the environment I thought "wait, is this a 3d One Piece short?", so it mightbe a little misleading when you first boot up the episode, but it is not a 3d short, and the artstyle works really well. it reminds me of what Disney has done in the past when adding cartoon characters to real life movies, but instead of real life movies we have a very well-crafted 3d environment, so the end result is just spectacular
Anyway, it's a short, it's 5 minutes long, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, even if you know nothing about One Piece, even if you're a fan, this short will entertain.
