Hope

"Hope" is the 20th opening for One Piece and the 6th opening for the second half of the series.

Opening
The song starts with all the Straw Hats except Sanji fighting enemies in the Whole Cake Chateau, followed by Luffy reaching out to Sanji from behind.

Cut to the Thousand Sunny sailing with dolphins, and the Straw Hats running on the deck together. Luffy gets ahead of them, and is then seen on top of the crow's nest looking out excitedly as his crewmates (minus Sanji) also do so in various parts of the ship. Sanji is then shown walking in a foggy setting with his Germa Kingdom's prince outfit on. He then starts running as the screen flashs.

The scene change to Luffy running, wearing his Fire Tank Pirates suit, followed by Jinbe punching a shadowed Charlotte Opera in the Prisoner Library, Pedro clashing with Tamago in the courtyard, Brook unleashing his soul power in the Room of Treasure, Nami, Chopper, and Carrot inside Big Mom's ruined wedding cake, and Luffy activating Gear Fourth as he faces off against Big Mom, Napoleon, Zeus, and Prometheus.

Back at the Sunny, where Sanji exit the cabin and presents his excited crewmates a basket before cutting back to a stormy Whole Cake Island, where several members of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates are seen. The Fire Tank Pirates are shown before their meeting with the Sanji Retrieval Team, as Capone Bege smile at the camera. Then flashcards of Chiffon, Pez, Pudding, the male Vinsmoke Family members (minus Sanji), followed by the females. The scene change to Luffy and Sanji facing off in the rain next to King Baum's body, both injured and with Sanji sitting down. The screen flashes again, showing the Straw Hats flag in the wind.

Cut to the Vinsmokes wearing their Raid Suits, showing off their genetically modified abilities and Judge is shown with a spear. It then goes to the Charlotte Family, lining up Katakuri, Smoothie, Perospero, Compote, Daifuku, and Oven in front of Big Mom, Napoleon, Zeus, and Prometheus. It then moves to show Sanji and Pudding standing on top of a giant cake in their wedding ceremony.

The opening finally cuts back to the Sunny, panning over the Straw Hats standing in a line with smiling Luffy at the end of it.
