It features the Straw Hat pirates with the Going Merry arriving in an enclosed island. Luffy is seen in excitement, Nami and Robin shopping with Chopper as the holder, Zoro sleeping on a bench, Luffy and Usopp, amazed with the islands products and especially Sanji falling in love with a girl. Nami and the others enjoys the island's beach when Luffy starts to jump in the water which surprises Nami. Everyone coordinate in preparing lunch (except for Luffy whose playing with the Monkeys). The Straw Hats was shown one by one followed by Mihawk, Ace and Shanks. A pirate ship arrives with the name in the sail "GAHOOOO" and a lion jolly roger. The ship suddenly launches an attack which is countered by Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, then Luffy uses the combination of Gomu Gomu no Rocket and Gatling to break the ship apart. The Straw Hats enjoy the beach when suddenly a Dinosaur appears before them chasing the Straw Hats away with Luffy in amazement. The Going Merry is seen traveling the map. The hills and the beach that was shown before the title made a second appearance but now in its daylight. It also shows the places where the Straw Hats made their appearances. Then the Straw Hats are shown again and the ship's flag makes an appearance.
