One Piece Live Attraction: Phantom

One Piece Live Attraction: Phantom (formerly titled One Piece Live Attraction 3: Phantom) is the third installment of the One Piece Live Attraction, a stage show performed in Tokyo One Piece Tower. Unlike the other Live Attraction installments, it ran for two one-year terms from 2017 to 2019 instead of just one, with minor changes being made in the second term.

The Straw Hats meet "Diva" Ann, a singer who can create illusions. However, Buggy then captures Ann and forces her to use her power against the Straw Hats.

Plot Summary
In the show, the Straw Hat Pirates attend a special concert at Live Music Club TONGARI commemorating Ann's return to her home island. DJ Parrot opens the show by welcoming the audience and announcing the venue's rules. Then, after the Straw Hat Pirates enter, he introduces and welcomes Ann to the stage. As Ann sings, she interacts with the Straw Hat crew and forgets that she is performing. After the pirates remind her, she continues to perform and demonstrates her powers by creating phantoms of a bunch of flowers and then Karoo (the Kung-Fu Dugongs in the first version of the show). Suddenly, Buggy appears and takes Ann hostage. He wants to try to force Ann to use her powers to help him capture the crew and sell them to the Marines. As a member of the Shichibukai, he had called in a Marine fleet to ambush Robin, Franky and Brook, who stayed on the Thousand Sunny while the rest of the crew attended Ann's concert. Buggy also introduces Puggy, the best martial artist in Buggy's Delivery. Puggy fights Zoro and Sanji, but he blocks their attacks with ease.

Buggy forces Ann to create phantoms of different allies of the Straw Hat Pirates, and while the confused pirates interact with and defend attacks from the phantoms, Puggy captures and ties them up one by one. With only Luffy left to free his friends, Buggy forces Ann to create a phantom of Sabo, and when the fake Sabo attacks, it confuses Luffy. The rest of the crew reminds him that Sabo would never do such a thing, and Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun to knock Buggy and Puggy away. Now with everyone freed from Buggy's clutches, Ann thanks Luffy and offers to create a phantom of Ace for him. Luffy declines, and the crew encourages Ann to restart her concert. As they all sing and dance, Buggy returns to try again. Luffy attacks Buggy with Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk, and behind Luffy, Ann creates a phantom of Ace to help him. Just as Luffy turns around, the phantom of Ace disappears. He briefly notices Ace but quickly forgets about it as DJ Parrot announces that they will continue the concert. The crew sings with Ann and wishes her well as they leave. The phantom of Ace reappears and asks the audience to take care of his little brother before the show ends.
