Gather up all of the crew! It’s time to sail with Luffy’s crew at Universal Fan Fest Nights! The Straw Hat Pirates of One Piece have descended onto Universal Studios Hollywood on their journey to make Luffy the King of the Pirates. See their adventures at the event below.

One Piece Grand Pirate Show

The entry for the One Piece Grand Pirate Show features the show's logo in front of a map of the ocean. This performance is a live stunt show with Luffy and a bunch of his Straw Hat Crew, like Usopp, Nami, Zoro, and Sanji.

Outside the theater are the six wanted posters for some of the crew members. However, Sanji mentions during the show that the rest of their crew is safe on the opposite shore, away from the incoming Navy ship, which explains why they are not in the show.

Before the show begins, the island is awash in blues and greens. Admiral Borsalino announces that Luffy and his crew have landed at Midori Island, looking for Pop Greens. The Navy is hot on their trail and asks the audience to help them capture the Straw Hats.

Usopp is the first Straw Hat to show up on the stage. He begs the other crew members to help him look for the Pop Greens to no avail until Luffy shows up on a boat with Nami.

While looking for Pop Greens, they find other explosive fruits, which the crew tosses around the island. But it catches the attention of the Navy, and they start dropping in to capture the pirates.

The crew starts fighting the Navy around the stage, including Zoro, who fights one of the Naval leaders in a nearby treehouse.

Other crew members, like Sanji, fight the Navy from below.

As a stunt show, the action sequences continue throughout the rest of the performance until the Straw Hats ultimately triumph against the Navy. And then Buggy the Clown shows up.

It turns out, Buggy is also on the island to find the Pop Greens and demands that the Straw Hats give him the Pop Greens they’ve found. The Navy then turns their attention to Buggy, who gives them the runaround around the island.

The show ends in a fiery pyrotechnic extravaganza when Admiral Borsalino shows up again. Buggy (and the Straw Hats) successfully evade the Navy and are free to go on their way—just in the nick of time as the island is imminent for a massive explosion.

One Piece Meet and Greet Area

Over in the One Piece meet and greet area, fans can climb aboard part of a ship and take photos with some of the crew members beside the Straw Hat Jolly Roger. Often, there are three crew members at a time taking photographs. Above there was Nami (far left), Luffy, and Zoro. Many guests are dressed to resemble members of the crew, like the two shown above as Chopper and Nico Robin, respectively.

At other points in the event, you may see Zoro and Nami swapped out for Sanji and Usopp.

During the day, you can see that the ship deck has several props onboard, from potion bottles hanging by the Jolly Roger to Nami’s little orange tree.
