Goro Taniguchi, the director already famous for Code Geass: “You don’t need me. I can’t believe that I was once a bit involved in ONE PIECE of being that kind of person to be a director, but the fact that they tried to talk to me in the middle of it all means it Eiichiro Oda and his staff wanted to add somethingto face different challenges, to have a different point of view. I think that means. Management is a way to free ONE PIECE, which until now has developed its own story. With the help of the screenwriter Tsutomu Kuroiwa, who wrote the script, and other collaborators, it turns into an interesting story. I’m looking forward to. “

The same screenwriter Tsutomu Kuroiwa speaks with his message: “As long as the script is good, it will certainly be interesting! As a result, when Oda finished reading it, Oda said:”The script is great! I think I fulfilled my role. ”I discussed with Eiichiro Oda and director Goro Taniguchi for over two years and the process brought us closer and closer to our goal, these days were like dreams come true, as if you were really on a ship Adventure. This story was created through the combined efforts of so many people. It will be a fantastic film that will surely touch the hearts of many. Do not miss it! “
