The re-release of One Piece Film: Gold is a welcome one considering that fans are always ready to celebrate the franchise. Additionally, the 13th film of the One Piece movie series is a great way to prepare for the upcoming release of One Piece Film: Red, which will be debuting in Japan on August 6 and coming to theaters in North America in Fall 2023.

One Piece Film: Gold was directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto and takes place in the beautiful city-ship Gran Tesoro, which serves as a sanctuary for millionaires as well as some of the world's most infamous pirates. The Straw Hat Pirates are initially drawn by the prospect of gold but they end up clashing with the Casino King Gild Tesoro who hates the rich and wants to make them pay a heavy price for their good fortune.

The special two-day screening of One Piece Film: Gold is on July 24 and 26, 2022. One Piece Film: Red premieres in Japan on August 6, 2022, and is set for international release in the fall this year.
