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 (OVA)
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 1,000 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!" by Russell Velazquez.
[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]
Theatrical films
Main article: List of One Piece films

Fourteen animated theatrical films based on the One Piece series have been

released in Japan. The films are typically released in March in accordance with
the spring vacation of Japanese schools.[100] The films feature self-contained,
completely original plots, or alternate retellings of story arcs with animation of a
higher quality than what the weekly anime allows. The first three films were
typically double features paired up with other anime films, and were thus, usually
an hour or less in length. The films themselves offer contradictions in both
chronology and design that make them incompatible with a single continuity.
Funimation has licensed the eighth, tenth, and twelfth films for release in North
America, and these films have received in-house dubs by the company.[101][102]
