One Piece: Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King

This is basically one of those movie specials you get to see before the actual movie. Kinda like Pokemon vacation before the Pokemon Movie started in the 90's.

In this short special. The Strawhat Pirates are on another island this time playing baseball against Arlong and some other Characters from the show Like Hachi.

The game as you can imagine is crazy and to extreme for normal baseball. But its still enjoyable to watch. As the crew uses their special techniques to score homeruns and get strike outs.

During this time Mr 2 Bon Clay and Buggy are commentating. And during this whole time you only hear these two speak. They even read out the dialogue for Luffy as he calls out his special home run Gom Gom attack.

Overall its really enjoyable to watch how the animators and artist got this special to work. read more

I gave this an 8 overall because I felt that it didn't live up to it's expectations. I enjoyed it, it was funny but I felt like it wouldn't matter if this special was not made. Now OP fans don't start hating me because I am a big OP fan myself but it was like tehy made this on their free time.

Story
2 teams battle it out for the cup. Team Luffy vs team Fisherman. Both teams battle for the cup using their abilities to get the upper hand and the fisherman using underhanded moves. We have mr 2 and buggy as the announcers who play their part in making you laugh and the special end with biggy nicely.

I would compare this to the foxy arc because of the game theme and what followed. Anyway hope I didn't discourage you and enjoy the special. read more
