One Piece Film Red Story
The One Piece Red story is set on the “Island of Music” Elegia, where Uta, the world’s greatest diva, holds her first-ever live concert and reveals herself to the public. The Straw Hats, pirates, Marines, and fans from across the world gather to enjoy Uta’s voice, which has been described as “otherworldly”. However, the event begins with the shocking revelation that Uta is the daughter of Shanks.
One Piece Film Red will open in Japan on August 6 and is going to be directed by Goro Taniguchi. Tsutomu Kuroiwa will be writing the screenplay, and One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda serving as the executive producer. Oda also designed the “battle wear” characters for the film, which have a theme of “rock x pirates” and feature leather and studs for a Middle Ages armor vibe.
