Plot
Following the events of One Piece: Heart of Gold, the Straw Hat Pirates arrive at Gran Tesoro, a ship which is an entertainment city and independent nation ruled by Gild Tesoro. The concierge Baccarat gives the Straw Hats a VIP stay due to their fame, and lends them large sums of money with which to begin gambling. They participate in games where they win a lot of money. Baccarat then takes them to the VIP lounge to meet Tesoro, who challenges them to a dice game.
However, Baccarat uses her Devil Fruit abilities to strip Monkey D. Luffy of his luck, causing him to lose. She reveals her foul play and demands the Straw Hats repay the money they lost. Since the money was loaned from Gran Tesoro, the Straw Hats cannot afford to repay it, causing them to fight Baccarat, Tesoro, and his subordinates Mr. Tanaka and Dice. They are overwhelmed, and Tesoro, who can manipulate gold, captures Roronoa Zoro; it turns out that the gold dust which fell on the crew like snow when entering Gran Tesoro is used to place everyone under the power of Gild Tesoro so that they must do his bidding. Tesoro gives the Straw Hats until midnight the next day to repay their debt or he will execute Zoro. Outside, the Straw Hats run into Carina, a former acquaintance of Nami who is now working for Tesoro.
They hatch a plan with Carina to steal Tesoro's fortune from a hotel vault, and find out that most people in the city are enslaved to Tesoro. The next day, the Straw Hats split up into two teams and infiltrate the hotel. Luffy and Franky scale it from the outside in order to disable its surveillance network, but are caught by security. Tesoro binds Luffy's arms in gold, and Mr. Tanaka sends them plummeting into the Golden Prison, a large cavern filled with nothing but gold.
Luffy and Franky make their way through a pipe system to get to a pump room with seawater that can wash the gold off Luffy. Meanwhile, the rest of the Straw Hats and Carina sneak into the supposed treasure room, only to find themselves on a stage as part of a trap laid by Tesoro. Tesoro reveals that he knows where Luffy and Franky are and attempts to drown them by flooding their location with seawater. He then attempts to execute Zoro, but when trying to release liquid gold from Gran Tesoro's fountains, seawater comes out instead.
The Straw Hats reveals that they had intended for all of this to happen in order for the seawater to be released and free everyone from Tesoro's control. Gran Tesoro's citizens and prisoners rise up against Tesoro and his crew. Marine forces then attack Gran Tesoro.
The Straw Hats defeat Baccarat, Tanaka and Dice, and Luffy uses Gear Four to defeat Tesoro, sending him flying into the Marine fleet where he is arrested. Gran Tesoro then appears to go into a self-destruct sequence. Carina volunteers to stay behind and steer the ship away while everyone else evacuates. After the Straw Hats depart, they realize the protocol was merely a fireworks countdown, and Carina has stolen the entire ship. As the Straw Hats are chased by the Marine fleet, Carina sails Gran Tesoro into the distance.

Production
Music and soundtrack The film score was composed by Yuki Hayashi and the film's theme song is by Glim Spanky. As a fan of the band, Eiichiro Oda personally requested that they provide the theme. The film's staff asked the group to write something different than what would typically be associated with One Piece and to evoke the feeling of "battling Luffy." The first song they brought was not what the staff had in mind and they were suggested to write something more "unrefined" and "Iggy Pop-ish", to which Glim Spanky responded with "Ikari o Kure yo".
