This is the 4th TV Special of One Piece.It has no connection with the TV series itself what so ever.Takes place in an alternate universe set in a similar Edo Period. All the main, secondary, minor, and filler characters are all slightly different from their appearances in the other universe.Luffy isn't a wanted pirate in this one. He's a local crime fighter while Usopp is his right man. Nami(Onami) and Sanji are a couple running their own restaurant. Zoro is a monk while Chopper is the town doctor. And many other familiar characters making a cameo appearances.Throughout the TV special shows the daily lives and adventures the characters go through. As well as plenty of Japanese historical feel to the story.It's all made for the fun of it. Made and done by the same Toei team that's responsible for all our One Piece needs. This is highly recommended for the fans of the show or Edo period learning.
