Additional information regarding the upcoming One Piece anime special, “3D2Y: Overcome Ace’s Death. Luffy’s Vow to his Friends!,“ has been revealed.

Byrnndi World, the antagonist for the anime special, has been imprisoned in Impel Down for 30 years. In order to achieve his goals, Byrnndi plans to try and capture the Warlord Boa Hancock. As revealed earlier, Byrnndi was designed by Eiichirô Oda himself. He possesses the devil fruit powers of the Moa Moa Fruit, and is a powerful Haki user!

Byrnndi World used to be similar to Luffy, who dreamed of adventuring freely with his companions, before he lost the ability to trust them after a harsh betrayal.

Luffy’s finishing move against Byrnndi is supposed to be a “must-see” for fans. Just how much will Luffy, still half-way through his training with Silvers Rayleigh, grow during this encounter?

For the fans who are aware of the current events happening in the manga, a “certain someone” is expected to appear for the first time in the anime.

Fans will also get to see how Luffy acquired Haki, according to the source.

The special is directed by Naoyuki Itou, with Kōdai Watanabe serving as animation director, and will air Aug. 30.
