Brand New World is the sixth opening song for the One Piece anime. It was sung by D-51. It features scenes from the Enies Lobby Arc.

Animation
The Straw Hat Pirates are shown first running through a valley, and then racing bicycles near the sea. Luffy swings from a tree branch as the title appears over a map. The camera pans around a 3-D view of the Going Merry, then zooms in on the prow. Luffy grins and looks around, then shots of Zoro, Nami and Chopper; then Usopp, Robin and Sanji, are shown.

Several other pirate ships are then shown sailing. Shots of Buggy Pirates; Blackbeard Pirates; Smoker and Tashigi; Portgas D. Ace; Whitebeard; Dracule Mihawk; Sengoku, Tsuru, Bartholomew Kuma and Donquixote Doflamingo, and the Gorosei; and finally Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates.

The Straw Hats run along a beach, with Usopp waving a flag. They set up camp; Zoro takes a nap, Usopp sets up a tent, Chopper does his "reverse peek" near the tent before darting inside, Robin and Nami have drinks while Sanji professes his love to them, and Luffy fishes from a tree. Luffy spots a fleet of Marine ships, and Usopp and Chopper react in surprise. At Luffy's signal, the crew runs off and Zoro wakes up. A miniature rendering of the Going Merry sails across a map (even over the land sections) while miniature Marine ships fire on it. The Merry escapes when more Marine ships close in.

Luffy activates Gear Second and punches Blueno atop the courthouse of Enies Lobby. Zoro charges Kaku and clashes swords with them. Sanji fights Kalifa, each attacking in a hail of kicks, but neither lands a hit. Sogeking fires Hissatsu Firebird Star, possibly at the flag. Nami uses Thunder Charge: Swing Arm in Kalifa's room. Franky and Fukuro exchange punches. Monster Chopper reveals himself.

Finally, the camera pans up to show the Tower of Justice in Enies Lobby. then shows Robin, Franky and Spandam's faces, with Robin appearing serious, Franky seeming quite pleased, and Spandam seeming shocked. The CP9 members (excluding Blueno and Spandam) are shown below, then the Straw Hats on the roof of the courthouse. Robin then appears surprised that her crew came for her, and the faces of her crew-mates are shown one by one. The opening concludes with a shot of the Straw Hat Jolly Roger waving in the wind.

Trivia
