The popular anime and manga series One Piece by Eiichiro Oda has delighted fans all over the world since its release and is now one of the most successful series of all time. With over 1,135 chapters and 1,122 episodes, the popular shonen series is considered a major milestone and series giant in the community.

In addition to the anime series, the manga and some video games, there are also One Piece films. The adventurous and action-packed pirate atmosphere of the Straw Hats is often retained in the films - but there is one exception that showed fans a completely different side of One Piece!

“One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Mysterious Island” is a One Piece film that has filled fans with horror and is known as the scariest film in the series.

A One Piece horror film that is unexpectedly dark and scary

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Mysterious Island was released in 2005 and was the sixth film in the One Piece series. At this point, Eiichiro Oda was not yet involved in the script work for the films. For the sixth One Piece film, Masahiro Ito wrote the script instead, which resulted in the film having this unique horror atmosphere that was unusual for One Piece.

Important note: Screenwriter Masahiro Ito should not be confused with game designer Masahiro Ito, who worked on Silent Hill.

What is One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Mysterious Island about?The sixth One Piece film is about a certain baron named Omatsuri, who invited the Straw Hats to his vacation island on the Grand Line. Since Luffy and his crew members could use a change of scenery and some relaxation, they accept the invitation.

When they arrive on the island, however, it turns out that the Straw Hats first have to undergo a series of “hellish” tests in order to be able to claim the island's many advantages. Although Luffy agrees without hesitation, he has no idea what dark intentions the Baron has and what exactly he plans to do with the Straw Hats.

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Mysterious Island is better known to fans as the One Piece horror film due to its portrayal of serious themes such as death, grief, mercy and sacrifice, which are underpinned by an eerie atmosphere.
