Though this special is quite enjoyable it feels the most like filler out of all of them. The story is OK. But just a little bit to dragged out, it should have been 10 minutes shorter, if it was the special would be more enjoyable. However it isn't in any way a bad special. The premise is good, the new characters you meet in this special fit in well within the one piece world and the strawhats are their great personal selves. All in all a real one piece fan should not skip this special.
