The Straw Hats visits an island, known as Mecha Island, where a fisherman sings an old folk song about a Golden Crown. Searching for that mysterious treasure, they find a hidden entrance into the island. The island's leader, Ratchet, impressed with the find and in search of the Golden Crown himself, invites the crew to join him in his search and the crew along with Ratchet and his henchmen enter the cave. As it turns out, the islands true form, is that of a giant turtle. Ratchet, who had known this all along, uses his mechanical castle to take control of the turtle, in order to use it, to take over the world. Now the Straw Hats have to stop not only Ratchet, but also the helpless turtle, from crashing into a nearby island.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first One Piece film animated in full digital, making those mecha scenes technically historic for the franchise.
Ratchet's design borrows heavily from 19th-century industrialist tropes, making him a weird commentary on Meiji-era modernization anxiety—buried under turtle chaos.
