This movie was perfect, it introduced a bad guy that was really cool as well as some interesting new characters. although I thought the bad guys power could have been better I don't have any complaints. The battle at the end was really good too, whenever I see Luffy face off against a Logia type Devil Fruit user I always wonder how he will win, and I was honestly surprised with how he did it this time. The bad guy also reminded me of both Blackbeard and Kuma at the same time, he kind of had a similar design to Kuma's (to me at least)I highly suggest watching this movie, It's perfect if your a One Piece fan like myself

Luckily Nami over hears the bar tender's conversation with a customer on a secret spot, where money is involved. So they all went to see what the secret spot is after paying 2 Belli coins. And they all discover that the secret spot is a paradise for pirates everywhere. And a big race is being held called the Dead End Race. Where pirate ships race to the next island to win the money reward. That reward will end the Straw Hat Pirates' need for money. But little do they know is the whole race is a fix by an ex-military commander named Gasparde.The thing I like about this one is, it's longer, and the story spends more time on the character development. Which is pretty good to include in a One Piece movie. That and this film actually does feel like a full length feature rather than an expanded TV episode or TV special.The animation is well done. And I have to say I can't get tired of the CG town beginning. The secondary characters are cool, specially the bounty hunter, Shuraiya. The story also balances out the amount of action and unexpected parts pretty well. Which makes this 4th installment very enjoyable to watch time after time.Unlike the previous non-chronicle movie. This one takes place sometime after the Alabasta Arc. Since Robin is now part of the crew, this marks as her first movie appearance.This is a must for all One Piece fans.
