It’s been a few years since FUNimation managed to bring out a One Piece feature, which is frustrating since there are a few, but this November on the 19th, they’ll be bringing out One Piece: Strong World. The tenth movie in the series is getting a standalone DVD release and a DVD/BD combo release priced at $29.98 and $34.98 respectively. The feature, which has its manga prequel episode showing up in the digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump in North America from Viz Media, did quite well when it hit theaters in Japan back in 2009. The two hour feature debuted in December of that year and had $49 million in box office receipts.
One Piece: Strong World is based on a script by original creator Eiichiro Oda and directed by Munehisa Oda.

Plot concept: When the Straw Hats catch wind of trouble in the peaceful waters of the East Blue, they quickly set a course for home! But before they reach their destination, fate leads them into the deadly path of Golden Lion Shiki. This gravity-defying madman needs a navigator, and he wants Nami! Shiki scatters the Straw Hats across the far corners of a floating island filled with ferocious, genetically-mutated monsters, and issues Nami and ultimatum: join his crew – or her friends die!
Big mistake. Luffy kicks his attack mode into Third Gear and begins a brutal rampage across the beast-ridden island. It’s all hands on deck in Monkey vs. Lion. Winner gets the navigator!
