For some reason I really liked this special. The visuals were great and it was very funny and rather enjoyable. Luffy fighting everyone was awesome and hilarious.

Great SP!

Bayan: "Who is this brute?"
Zap: "A monster" lol

It was awesome to see Luffy fighting his nakama xDD

The eye contact part between Bayan & Zap was a big rofl!!

The product of Chopper and Ussop's collaboration, the Sure-Kill Sleep Star lool

All Straw Hat Pirates attacking Bayan at the same time was just .. BO SUGOI!! Undescribable!

Sanji and Zoro working together is always welcome!

10/10 SP!

Straw Hat Pirates: "It was nothing."
"We just beat him up because he pissed us off!"

xDD

It was rly a quite enjoyable SP!

Edit: Forgot to mention, The author of those OVAs/Movies/TV-Specials seems to have a loli fetish o_O!!

I really enjoy watching these OP special because its like watching a mini movie :-) the beginning part was hilarious where sanji drugged luffy with a sleeping pill! XD and the way nami's eyes beamed when hearing treasure was unforgettable!

One of the children, namely milia had a big resemblance of nami was she was a child.. lastly the ending where they found the treasure was breathtaking! man, isn't that pearl regarded an epic treasure such as one piece? haha

I agree that was the best part of this Special, that I think makes this Special stand out more.
I felt bad for the guy there for a slight second, but then i thought he deserved it. LOL

I gotta say Robin was the best part of this, all-around solid, special! But when she released the Clutch on Luffy with an "I give up" was even better!!! Either way, her timing was on point throughout.

How would they even move that giant thing? It would just lay there.

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.
Thy actions cause men pain and suffering.
Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.
How would you like to see what death is like?

Is possible this special was the weaker of One Piece.

Is about a adventure with childrens, with few action, although is comical.The plot is simple. The final has surprise, and is not a "turtle" xD

6/10.

Their combined attack was pretty funny/cool.

It could have been much better. The villain reminds me of the dude from the Clockwork Island movie.

Compared to the first special, this was a lot more in line with One Piece standard fare. So while it mostly didn't feature any of the problems of the Ocean's Navel, it was also a lot less interesting. The only problem that carried over is unexplained abilities. I think the Symphony Conductor powers does sort of fit in One Piece's logic, it's not that vastly different from Goldenweek's paint ability but that ability still made more sense in it's application. It's really weird how it's able to hone in on a single person to control despite everyone hearing it, and I don't think the song ever changed either so it's not like it matched up to the music.

I also don't really care for Amanda and her father drama, to be honest Amanda had all the reason in the world to hate her father for tattooing the map on her back. I like the bit about the pendant being important, as predictable as it was. But even beyond tattooing his daughter with a map being 100% an awful thing to do, their whole relationship and story was so rote I wouldn't have liked it regardless, and Amanda's storm off while Usopp was talking about adventure got a groan from me. But I thought the role reversal of Max & Bonnie asking her if they wanted to escape was a nice touch, and the Sanji/Milia stuff was sweet.

I also kind of like how little they cared about the antagonists, Zap being defeated off-screen and Bayan losing easily to a team attack. Oh and their misunderstood eye-contact moment was amusing. I concur with everyone who said the team attack, *beat*, "Clutch" was the best part of the movie. I also enjoyed seeing Luffy vs. the crew, the Robin bit was funny with how quickly she gave up, and there's something novel seeing Luffy being the one to thwack Nami (even if he didn't physical hit her).

Just like the last special, another 5/10 for me. I do like it more than the last one but not enough to reach a 6, the banal Amanda/father relationship thing weighs it down too much.

Well when Amanda was controlled i was like "0.0 interesting ! Just a little more..." But then she didnt do it
Seriously this anime need more fanservice

Laughed a lot at the robin vs luffy fight , poor robin got only 1 attack πŸ˜…
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat

Finallly a one piece that i can give a 10/10,
this is what i want from an anime dealing with treasures and something extraordinary , that ending sealed it as my favorite one piece media so far

no character seem out of place, Amanda's development was satisfying, her sister is too cute ,and the relationship between sanji and her was just touching and very comfortable

it was short and to the point
