One Piece Dramatic Stage THE METAL ~Marineford of Remembrance~ is a 3DCG holographic stage play, produced exclusively for the DMM VR Theater. It had showings from January 20 to February 25, 2018.[1][2]
Short Summary[]
The Straw Hat Pirates, Trafalgar Law and Bartolomeo face off against Marine Vice Admiral Graydle.[2]
Long Summary[]
The Straw Hat Pirates are sailing through the New World when the come upon a strange island where everything can be bought for 1. They call Law and Bartolomeo to throw a banquet when Vice Admiral Graydle confronts them. He creates metal clones with his Devil Fruit abilities and attacks the crew.
The scene flashesback to two years ago during the Summit War of Marineford, revealing that Graydle lost his left arm to an injury he sustained in the conflict and that he devised a plan to get revenge on Luffy for it. He turns some of his metal clones into clones Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper, and he is accompanied by a massive Pacifista who pursues the crew.
During a confrontation with Graydle, Bartolomeo protects Luffy in a similar way to how Ace protected him from Akainu. Luffy activates Gear 4: Boundman and defeats Graydle with Gomu Gomu no King Kong Gun.[3]

Information[]
The DMM VR Theater was decorated with statues of Ace and Whitebeard, cutouts of Law and Bartolomeo, and a photo-op poster of Bentham and Ivankov. The theater also sold special collaborative menu items, including a special drink for Nami and "three-sword style churros" for Zoro. Audience members were given a support item called a Meat Light (肉ライト, Niku raito?) to wave in the air when the Straw Hat Pirates need help.[2]
A Twitter Retweet campaign was held for fans to win items from the One Piece Mugiwara Store.[4]
An AR stamp rally was also held to promote the show. Fans could take photos through an iOS/Android app at different locations with their favorite One Piece characters.[5]
