Strong World is the 10th film of the One Piece series written by manga creator Eiichiro Oda himself.
News of the movie first appeared during a showing of the Episode of the Island of Perpetual Winter, which a teaser for the tenth movie was revealed. The movie was originally meant for a spring release in 2009. But complications with the script pushed the release date back. Eventually the movie premiered on December 12, 2009
As stated, the film is an original story written by Eiichiro Oda himself in honor of One Piece's Tenth Anniversary (In previous films Oda only supplied character designs and approved story ideas. For this one Toei personally asked if he would write the story). The movie is apparently canonical and set between the Thriller Bark Arc and Sabaody Archipelago Arc, as Brook is shown alongside the other Straw Hats (making this his first movie appearance), as well as Sengoku, Garp, Shanks and Whitebeard (still alive).
As a promo for the movie, the first 1.5 million japanese moviegoers who went to see the One Piece Film Strong World received Volume 0 of the manga. The "0th volume" bonus gift depicts the world of One Piece from 20 years ago. It's said this volume is directly related to the plot of the movie — in particular, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger versus the legendary pirate "Golden Lion" Shiki
His crew has to come back soon b/c this dude is on mind break status. I won't be surprised if dude tries to kill himself & those close to him might have to stop him.
...would be really great!
