Dream Soccer King

Dream Soccer King is a featurette associated with the One Piece movie Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals, lasting five minutes and thirty seconds. Most of it is actually a dream experienced by Luffy some time right after the Drum Island Arc.

Short Summary
The match is between the Straw Hat Pirates and the All-Star Villains. The atmosphere is tense, as it has all come down to a special playoff that will be decided by a tiebreaker shoot out. With Nami and Vivi cheering, a crowd of thousands and Koby as the unwilling (and unlucky) goalkeeper, the stage is set. But with everyone's favorite pirates facing the likes of Captain Buggy, Mr. 2, Hatchan and Jango the Hypnotist, can Luffy and the gang manage to defeat them and win the shoot out in order to become the 'Dream Soccer Kings'?

Long Summary
It is the Grand Line Cup Final, and the special playoff is soon to be decided by a tie-breaker shoot-out, with Koby acting as goalie. Luffy starts the match off by goaling with his Gomu Gomu no Shoot technique. To counter, Buggy uses his Bara Bara technique to break apart and sprint with his reduced weight, only to have the ball miss after a wide curve, putting the Straw Hat Pirates in the lead. Zoro and Hatchan score easily, while Tony Tony Chopper pops the ball. Jango, Usopp, and Bentham scores, tying the score, while Nami and Vivi cheers Luffy's team. The Villain All-Stars call a back-up player, Odacchi (a cameo appearance by Oda himself), whose ball is caught with ease by Koby, giving Luffy's team the advantage.

The outcome of the game now depends on Sanji and his incredible kicking powers. However, that sends the ball hurtling into the sky. Just as Buggy victoriously calls a sudden death, an unidentified flying object is reported to be flying over the Grand Line and towards the stadium. The object turns out to be the soccer ball, which revolved around the Grand Line completely, and the ball lands into the goalie net with a bang, and the Straw Hats win the match, and earning them the title of Pirate Soccer Kings.

The scene changes to the Going Merry where Luffy is found asleep, revealing that the whole event was a dream. As Luffy awakes, he discovers what looks like a brightly-colored soccer ball. As he charges at the ball with his Gomu Gomu no Shoot technique, it is revealed to the audience that the "ball" is actually Usopp's bottom.
