While the main storyline of the One Piece franchise that is currently running in both the anime and the manga proper is the “Wano Country Arc”, Stampede has managed to garner a lot of interest in terms of riling up fanfare and creating a story that plays on all of the series’ strengths. Amazingly, the movie manages to include nearly all of the pirates that we’ve seen Monkey D Luffy and his crew of Straw Hat Pirates encounter as they attempt to discover the One Piece treasure as they sail the Grand Line.
While a theatrical release date has yet to be confirmed proper for the west, it is without a doubt that the fourteenth film of the One Piece franchise will be making its way to our side of the world sooner rather than later. Whether or not our favorite pirates will manage to survive the Wano Country Arc to return for fifteenth film is a question for another day!
