One Piece's entertaining full length sequel!

In the second One Piece movie, our heroes are relaxing on a beach. Right until Luffy noticed that the "Going Merry" has been hijacked and departs from the coast line. Now they're drifting at sea to search for their stolen ship. They met up with the Thief Brothers: Borodo & Akisu(no relation) who gave them information that their ship is in the hands of the Trump Sibling Pirates. Who have taken control on Clockwork Island. After encountering the Trump minions and Nami(who has Luffy's hat) taken as a hostage. The straw Hat Pirates & the Thief Brothers must go to Clockwork Island to reclaim the Going Merry, Shank's straw hat, Nami, and the Diamond Clock(which the Thief Brothers find to be the most well crafted clock of all).

I give credit that this sequel feels like a movie rather than a 2 parter episode. Because it didn't had reused TV opening and closing. The animation and CG is very well done for this film. The cast of characters along with the main are interesting and well thought up. The story had a fast pace to it, so it didn't had any dull moment to it. But since it's One Piece it's meant to be as entertaining as the TV series itself. Plus the montage ending features characters who appear later in the series.

Overall a worthy sequel that all One Piece Fan will admire. Again the fan sub for it is easy to find off the internet or bootlegs.
