According to the description of the video, “EPISODE:0” is a short anime episode based on the manga “Episode 0” included in “ONE PIECE Volume 0”, a bonus for theater viewers of “FILM STRONG WORLD”. The story reveals the past of the legendary pirate “Shiki,” who appears in the movie for the first time.

The OVA episode depicts the fight between Gol D. Roger and Gold Lion Shiki prior to the beginning of the Golden Age of Piracy following Roger’s execution and focuses on the time when Gold Lion Shiki was active as Roger’s competitor, which includes a younger Garp and Sengoku. Shiki wants Roger to join the scheme, but the future King of the Pirates refuses, and thus their crews clash.

The anime is based on “volume 0” of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga, which was distributed to One Piece: Strong World moviegoers. One Piece: Strong World is the 10th film in the One Piece franchise, and it opened in Japan in December 2009.

My Anime List describes the plot of One Piece: Strong World as follows:

Upon hearing news that islands in East Blue are being destroyed, Monkey D. Luffy and his crew go to investigate. On their way, however, an outlandish pirate ship appears out of the sky, helmed by the infamous pirate Shiki “the Golden Lion”—a man who ate the Float-Float Fruit and the first ever prisoner to escape from Impel Down.

In his quest to defeat the World Government, Shiki kidnaps Nami to be his own navigator and sends the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates to his floating islands as hostages, leaving her in a dilemma. Separated in a land under Shiki’s absolute control, Luffy and his crew must survive the mystifying terrain in order to bring back their navigator and friend.
