Short Summary
At Marine Headquarters, the Marine soldiers are presented with a plan to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat Pirates are lured to Mushroom Island by the Foxy Pirates, who challenge them to a Davy Back Fight rematch. The Foxy Pirates have gotten stronger in the New World, and they now have Dojaku, an experienced shipwright, and Komei, a former Marine. In the first round, the Eating Contest, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Porche, and Hamburg gorge on a pile of mysterious mushrooms. However, the mushrooms cause them to collapse and lose their motivation. Komei then traps them, revealing that he was still a Marine Vice Admiral, but went undercover as part of his plan to eliminate the Straw Hats. Dojaku, also a Marine, helps bring the cage to the Sexy Foxy. The Straw Hats manage to revive and free Luffy, but Komei and Dojaku escape with Zoro, Sanji, Porche, and Hamburg. However, they leave behind an Eternal Pose.

The Straw Hats decide to follow the Eternal Pose to save their friends, and Brook, Chopper, and the Foxy Pirates stay behind to find the Rebound Mushroom, which is an antidote to the Drowsy Mushroom that their captured crewmates ate. Foxy forms an alliance with Luffy and comes along with his crewmate Kansho. They reach an island called Nebulandia, which has a plant that traps Devil Fruit users and a seawater mist that robs them of their powers. Marines are swarming the island, and Komei tells Luffy that he has until sunrise before his friends die.

The Straw Hats, Foxy, and Komei struggle to traverse the island and deal with the Marine attacks. Due to Komei's plans and traps, everyone is captured one by one except for Luffy and Nami. Meanwhile, Brook, Chopper, and the Foxy Pirates find an injured snake creature which has Rebound Mushrooms growing on its skin, and name it Kinoconda. However, their efforts to help it lead to them being surrounded by Marines.

Luffy finds his captured crewmates, but Komei traps him and nearly kills him by submerging him in seawater. Luffy is saved by Nami and Foxy, who manage to resuscitate him. However, Kansho shoots Luffy in the head, revealing that he, too, was an undercover Marine. Komei stands victorious over the Straw Hats, when Brook, Chopper, and the Foxy Pirates ride in on Kinoconda, having beaten the Marines on Mushroom Island. It also turns out that Luffy is alive due to a Foxy trinket blocking the bullet. The Straw Hats are all freed and engage in combat with the Marine forces, while Foxy heads to rescue Porche and Hamburg. Luffy battles Komei, and manages to defeat him with Red Hawk. With the Marines defeated, the Straw Hats and Foxy Pirates return to Mushroom Island, where they part ways.

Anime Notes

 * It has been suggested by Toei Animation that this will be the first in a series of 'Adventure Of' specials with original storylines. These specials would air in the winter in addition to the summer 'Episode Of' specials which re-adapt manga material.
 * The special marks the first post time-skip anime appearances of Foxy and his crew.
 * This special also marks the debut of three new members of the Foxy Pirates which turn out to be undercover Marines designed by Eiichiro Oda; Komei, Dojaku and Kansho.
 * When Porche is seen for the first time among the whole of Foxy's crew, she is shown at a distance with her cap and mask on. However, the scene then cuts to her unmasked, putting her cap and mask on.
 * Despite Chopper's tendency to not recognize people even in poor disguises, he was instantly able to recognize Foxy in his disguise.
 * This special takes place before the Punk Hazard Arc and after Z's Ambition Arc and One Piece Film: Z. This is because in the anime, the Z's Ambition Arc took place immediately after the Straw Hat Pirates entered the New World, which led into the film. However, this special must precede the Punk Hazard Arc, as the crew's bounties and wanted posters seen here changed in the Dressrosa Arc, and the last time the Straw Hat Pirates were travelling by themselves before these changes took place was before the Pirate Alliance Saga commenced.
