Anime Notes

 * This special is devised by each of the first five Straw Hat Pirates story during the East Blue Saga instead of chronologically, thus some of events that occurred during the Syrup Village Arc are shown before the event of the Orange Town Arc, and after the Baratie Arc.
 * This is the third time the events of the Arlong Park Arc was animated. The first was the anime adaptation and the second was the Episode of Nami special.
 * This is also the third time the events of the Romance Dawn Arc was animated. The first was the anime adaptation and the second was the Episode of Luffy special.
 * This is however only the second time the origin of Luffy's scar was shown, as it was censored in the anime adaptation.
