 Following the discontinuation of the print Shonen Jump, Viz began releasing One
Piece chapterwise in its digital successor Weekly Shonen Jump on January 30, 2012.[58] In the United

Oda teamed up with Akira Toriyama to create a single crossover of One Piece and
Toriyama's Dragon Ball. Entitled Cross Epoch, the one-shot was published in the December 25,
2006, issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump and the April 2011 issue of the English Shonen Jump.[70] Oda

Festival films and original video animation

One Piece: Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack! was produced by Production I.G for the 1998 Jump
Super Anime Tour and was directed by Gorō Taniguchi.[73] Luffy, Nami, and Zoro are attacked by a
sea monster that destroys their boat and separates them. Luffy is found on an island beach, where
he saves a little girl, Medaka, from two pirates. All the villagers, including Medaka's father have been
abducted by Ganzack and his crew and forced into labor. After hearing that Ganzack also stole all
the food, Luffy and Zoro rush out to retrieve it. As they fight the pirates, one of them kidnaps
Medaka. A fight starts between Luffy and Ganzack, ending with Luffy's capture. Meanwhile, Zoro is
forced to give up after a threat is made to kill all the villagers. They rise up against Ganzack, and
while the islanders and pirates fight, Nami unlocks the three captives. Ganzack defeats the rebellion
and reveals his armored battleship. The Straw Hat Pirates are forced to fight Ganzack once more to
prevent him from destroying the island.
A second film, One Piece: Romance Dawn Story, was produced by Toei Animation in July 2008 for
the Jump Super Anime Tour. It is 34 minutes in length and based on the first version of Romance
Dawn.[74][30] It includes the Straw Hat Pirates up to Brook and their second ship, the Thousand Sunny.
In search for food for his crew, Luffy arrives at a port after defeating a pirate named Crescent Moon
Gally on the way. There he meets a girl named Silk, who was abandoned by attacking pirates as a
baby and raised by the mayor. Her upbringing causes her to value the town as her "treasure". The
villagers mistake Luffy for Gally and capture him just as the real Gally returns. Gally throws Luffy in
the water and plans to destroy the town, but Silk saves him and Luffy pursues Gally. His crew arrives
to help him, and with their help he recovers the treasure for the town, acquires food, and destroys
Gally's ship. The film was later released as a triple feature DVD with Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and
His Friends Return!! and Tegami Bachi: Light and Blue Night, that was available only though a mail-
in offer exclusively to Japanese residents.[75]
The One Piece Film Strong World: Episode 0 original video animation adapts the manga's special
"Chapter 0", which shows how things were before and after the death of Roger. It received a limited
release of three thousand DVDs as a collaboration with the House Foods brand.[76]

Toei Animation produces an anime television series based on the One Piece manga. The series,
which premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on October 20, 1999, has aired more than 950
episodes, and has been exported to various countries around the world. [77] Two cross-over episodes
with the anime adaptation of Toriko were aired. The first of these, which was also the first episode
of Toriko, aired on April 3, 2011.[78] A second special, which also crossed over with Dragon Ball Z,
aired on April 7, 2013.[79]
On June 8, 2004, 4Kids Entertainment acquired the license for distribution of One Piece in North
America.[80] 4Kids contracted Viz Media to handle home video distribution. 4Kids' in-house musicians
wrote a new background score and theme song nicknamed "Pirate Rap". 4Kids' dub mandated edits
for content and length, which reduced the first 143 episodes into 104.[81] Initially, 4Kids originally
created an English version of the first opening theme, "We Are!"[82] It premiered in the United States
on September 18, 2004, in first-run syndication on the Fox network as part of the weekend
programming block FoxBox TV, and later aired on Cartoon Network on their Saturday night action
programming block, Toonami in April 2005. It also aired in other blocks and lineups, such as its
Monday-Thursday night prime-time lineup and its Miguzi weekday after-school action block in 2006.
Production was halted in 2006 after episode 143/104. [83][84] Viz also ceased its home video release of
the series after volume 11. On July 22, 2010, an interview with Anime News Network and Mark Kirk,
senior vice-president of digital media for 4Kids Entertainment, revealed that 4Kids acquired One
Piece as part of a package deal with other anime, and that the company did not screen the series
before licensing it. However, once 4Kids realized One Piece was not appropriate for their intended
demographic, the company decided to edit it into a more child-oriented series until they had an
opportunity to legally drop the license. Kirk said the experience of producing One Piece "ruined the
company's reputation". Since then, 4Kids established a stricter set of guidelines, checks, and
balances to determine which anime the company acquires. [85]
On April 13, 2007, Funimation licensed the series and started production on an English-language
release of One Piece.[86] In an interview with voice actor Christopher Sabat, he stated that Funimation
had been interested in acquiring One Piece from the very beginning, and produced a "test episode,"
in which Sabat portrayed the character of Helmeppo and Eric Vale played the part of the main
character, Monkey D. Luffy. (They would later go on to provide the English voices for Roronoa Zoro
and Sanji, respectively.)[87] After resuming production of the renewed English dub, which featured
less censorship because of fewer restrictions on cable programming, Funimation released its first
uncut, bilingual DVD box set containing 13 episodes on May 27, 2008. [88] Similarly sized sets
followed with fourteen sets released.[89] The Funimation-dubbed episodes premiered on Cartoon
Network on September 29, 2007 and aired until its removal on March 22, 2008. [90] On October 28,
2011, Funimation posted a press release on their official website confirming the acquisition of
episodes 206–263, and the aspect ratio, beginning with episode 207, would be changed to the 16:9
widescreen format.[91] On May 18, 2013, the uncut series began airing on Adult Swim's revived
Toonami late-night programming block from episode 207 onward. [92] One Piece was removed from
the Toonami block after March 18, 2017. [93]
In May 2009, Funimation, Toei Animation, Shueisha, and Fuji Television announced they
would simulcast stream the series within an hour of the weekly Japanese broadcast at no charge.
[94]
 Originally scheduled to begin on May 30, 2009, with episode 403, a lack of security resulted in a
leak of the episode, and Funimation delayed the offer until episode 415 on August 29, 2009. [95][96]
[97]
 On February 12, 2013, it was announced that Manga Entertainment would start releasing the
Funimation dub of One Piece in the United Kingdom in a DVD box set format.[98] Crunchyroll began
simulcasting the series on November 2, 2013, for the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia,
New Zealand, and Latin America.[99]
