The fifteenth season of the One Piece anime television series was produced by Toei Animation, and directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto. The season was broadcast in Japan on Fuji Television on October 2, 2011 to December 23, 2012. ^[1] Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of the reunion of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates after completing their training sessions two years later. The first of fourteen DVD compilations was released on December 5, 2012, and the last one was released on December 3, 2013.

The main story arc, called "Fishman Island" (魚人島, Gyojin-tō), adapts material from the 61st to the end of the 66th volumes of the manga by Eiichiro Oda. Two years have passed since the war at Marineford, and Luffy and the Straw Hats reunite at Sabaody after completing their training sessions. From there, they head off to Fishman Island. However, they end up facing Hordy Jones ^[a] who plots to use a coup d'état to take control of Fishman Island. The final four episodes contain an anime original story arc, called "Z's Ambition" (Zの野望編, Zetto no Yabō), which serves as a prologue to the concurrently released One Piece Film: Z .

Only a single piece of theme music is used for this season. The opening theme, titled "We Go!" (ウィーゴー!, Wī Gō!), is performed by Hiroshi Kitadani. ^{[2] [3]}

In October 2024, it was announced that the anime series would go on hiatus until April 2025 for the "Egghead" story arc, and that a remastered and re-edited version of the "Fishman Island" story arc would air in the show's timeslot during the break. ^[4]

After defeating the New Fishman Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates are relaxing and waiting for Luffy. The citizens of Fishman Island are cheering for him to destroy Noah and thus saving them. While some citizens evacuate the island, some recall how Whitebeard also saved the island at a point in the past and how Luffy reminds them of him. Luffy keeps attacking Noah intent on destroying it while Neptune laments being unable to keep the promise with Joy Boy stating there is no choice but to destroy it. As Luffy continues to destroy the Noah, Shirahoshi intervenes and successfully stops Luffy from destroying the ship. He realizes that Noah has been brought to a halt by a group of Sea Kings. Luffy is rendered unconscious from the wound and falls into the ship. The Sea Kings acknowledge the strength of Luffy's will. Luffy has won, Noah has stopped and the battle is finally over.

Following Hordy's defeat, Shirahoshi converses with the Sea Kings, who are surprised that Luffy is able to understand their conversation with Shirahoshi. They recall that Gold Roger was also able understand them as well. Manboshi, Fukaboshi and Ryuboshi capture the unconscious Hordy and his lieutenants. The kidnapped mermaids are found in Ryugu Palace; however, the royal treasure is missing. All charges against the Straw Hats are dropped and are praised as heroes. Luffy, injured from his fight with Hordy, requires a blood transfusion. However, no one from the island is willing to help as he is a human. Jimbei volunteers, and organizes a new law for the fishmen. Jimbei saves Luffy's life and the people are overjoyed. Luffy then offers Jimbei to join his crew.

As the whole island celebrates the capture and defeat of Hordy and his comrades by the Straw Hat Crew of whom make their own plans to leave Fishman Island soon while Jimbei reluctantly tells Luffy that he cannot join his crew at the moment but he will in the future when he is finished with his tasks and obligations, They are all soon called to celebrate their victory at the Palace with merriment, music, drink and food. As the party begins to wind down Robin asks and discusses a troubling and possibly dangerous secret with King Neptune surrounding his daughter, Shirahoshi, the ship Noah and the mysterious Joy Boy.

King Neptune talks about the Ancient Weapons and Shirahoshi being one of them to Robin while Caribou listens and makes way to Shirahoshi's room to capture and sell her. Luffy regroups with the rest of the crew away from the party after Jimbei requested to talk with him and Jimbei explains that Akainu fought against Aokiji for the title of Fleet Admiral on a certain island. Akainu won the title and Aokiji left since he didn't want to work for Akainu. He also explains the two changes that happened in the new world after two years which is Akainu becoming fleet admiral and Marshall D. Teach taking all of Whitebeard's territories and claiming the title of "Emperor" among Shanks, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. Jimbei also claims that Blackbeard is searching for the strongest Devil Fruits so he can extract their abilities and claim them for his own use, with Chopper fearing that he'll be targeted next and Usopp saying that Blackbeard wouldn't want his Human-Human fruit ability. Luffy doesn't listen to Jimbei's blabbing and Luffy sees Keimi and asks where Shirahoshi is and she says that she is in her room. Luffy senses a "big animal" in the palace so he calls Zoro and Sanji to come with him and they find Caribou using his Logia powers to capture Shirahoshi. Luffy kicks him out and Minister of the Right thanks him once again. Minister of the Right wonders why the tower has been cut into pieces and Pappug says that Zoro did it and Zoro gets mad. After hearing Minister of the Right say that Caribou had stolen all the treasure from the vault and that Neptune would give it all to them, Nami reprimands Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji for not tying Caribou up and angrily kicks them out to find him and get the treasure back. Meanwhile in Hordy's cell, Hordy and his crew appear to be aged by the energy steroids that they used, which was later revealed to be aging pills, and still sought vengeance against the royal family, the Straw Hats, and humans. As everyone leaves Hordy's cell, Hordy yells at Fukaboshi for "betraying his kind." Fukaboshi answers by saying that he won't hold vengeance on Hordy for killing his mother and orders him to shut up so the children won't here him and be tainted by his evil. Soon, the Minister of the Left gets news that Baron Tamago and Pekoms, crew members of the Big Mom Pirates, are in Fishman Island going to receive the monthly payment of sweets. With the candy factory destroyed and all the excess candy given to the Straw Hats to eat at the banquet, the Fishman Island can't pay their monthly payment. The Minister of the Left then states that Big Mom destroys islands that do not give her candy.

The rest of the Straw Hats are waiting for Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to return with the treasure. Meanwhile, Pekoms and Tamago came for the candy but the Minister of the Left claims that here is no more candy and the factory machines have been destroyed by Hordy. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji find Caribou and the treasure and start to carry the treasure back, searching for a ride back to Ryugu Palace. They find Pekoms and Tamago with the Minister of the Left. Luffy gets interested by Pekoms and Tamago's looks and then realize they are part of Big Mom's crew. Big Mom in the New World on Whole Cake Island is waiting for the candy from Fishman Island. Bobbin comes right after Big Mom eats some of her crewmates. Bobbin tells her that he destroyed an island and it smelled sweet when he did. She then learns that Fishman Island will not be giving her candy. She calls Tamago and Pekoms and they dare not answer so Luffy does. Luffy tells her that he ate the rest of the candy and he is willing to give the treasure to her for repayment. Big Mom refuses, stating that she can't eat treasure. Tamago steps in and tries to talk Big Mom into accepting Luffy's offer in order to replace the ships that were lost after a run-in with Captain Kid. She refuses, saying that pirates don't make deals and that she will go after Luffy in the New World instead of the Fishman Island. Luffy agrees to a fight with her and says that he will beat her up and claim Fishman Island as his own territory.

During a check on the palace, the Minister of the Right gets a report that the Tamate Box is gone along with all the treasures and remembers something very important about it. Caribou starts searching for his treasure that he stole from the royal family after realizing it was taken after waking up from getting beat by Luffy. Jimbei and Neptune talk about how Jimbei might join the Straw Hats and putting a new pirate flag in Fishman Island which is the Straw Hat Pirate flag. Later, the Minister of the Right tells King Neptune that the Tamate Box is gone and it might explode in the hands of Luffy if he opens it. However, when Luffy returns, he announces that he gave all the treasure that he recovered to Pekoms and Baron Tamago, along with the tamate box, and tells everyone that he talked back to Big Mom. While Neptune and the Minister of the Right worry about the fate of the Straw Hats, and Nami beats Luffy up for giving away the treasure, Jimbei decides to cut off the alliance with Big Mom before things get ugly. Caribou finds Tamago and Pekoms with his treasure that he stole and attacks Pekoms with his Gatling Gun. Pekoms reveals himself to be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. Caribou then attempts to slice off Pekom's head, saying that he was stronger because he was a logia-type devil fruit eater, only to get punched in the stomach by Pekoms, rendering him unconscious again. Pekoms and Tamago then leave Fishman island. It is later revealed that Smoker and Tashigi were reassigned to the G-5 Marine Branch, the most ruthless marine branch that don't even take orders from the HQ, and arrested a bunch of pirates emerging from Fishman Island, who tell Smoker that Luffy beat Hordy, with Smoker replying that he already knows and calls them idiots.

The mermaids and Keimi from the Mermaid Cafe ask Sharley if they can say farewell to the Straw Hats. Sharley says that her prediction that Luffy will destroy Fishman Island might not happen after all since they defeated Hordy and the New Fishman Pirates. However, Keimi fears that Madam Sharley still believes that Luffy will destroy the Fishman Island because she knows that her predictions are always right. Shirahoshi meanwhile is crying and asking the Straw Hats to not go. While Minister of the Right talks to Neptune about mentioning the exploding tamate box to the Straw Hats, Neptune points out that Usopp, Brook, and Chopper complain that they are going to die in the New World and that they shouldn't tell them more bad news, later having optimistic ideas about how Big Mom might not open it herself or that the explosives might not explode. The Minister of the Left gives Nami a new Log Pose with three needles so they can get to the islands in the New World. He explains that the new log pose takes in the magnetic waves of 3 surrounding islands and that the needle that moves the most is the direction of the most dangerous island. After hearing that, Nami, Chopper, and Usopp tell the Minister of the left to keep it down so Luffy doesn't hear, which he evidently does. He then grabs onto Nami wanting to see the new Log Pose and says to go in the direction of the needle that moves the most, stating, "that's where the party is". Nami insists that she will tell the crew where to go. However, Luffy states that he should decide where they should go, as he is the captain. Franky gets a new haircut and they start to leave but Shirahoshi comes and ask them to pinky promise to come back and they did. The Straw Hats and the fishmen go their separate ways and Luffy remembers the times when Shanks, Rayleigh, Jimbei, and Ace told him something important. The Straw Hats then comment about what they will do once they are in the New World.

The Straw Hats are heading to the New World. Nami is taking a bath in the Thousand Sunny and Chopper comes in. Nami asks Chopper if he wants to join her in the bath and he says no claiming that he took one two days ago and the cloud reminds him of cotton candy. Sanji and Brook walk by and saw Nami taking a bath so they stare at her. Nami asked Chopper to move aside away from the cloud she made and the cloud electrified Sanji and Brook. Chopper claims he is scared and he won't eat the cloud. Meanwhile Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Franky and Robin are hanging out. Luffy tells Usopp to hurry up with the fish hook because he wants to catch and eat a big fish. Robin says that Luffy and Usopp are having fun. Franky says he wants Cola with a big fish. Zoro says he wants to have a drink to celebrate entering the New World. Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp sees three big fish. Zoro wants to eat a fried fish with salt. Usopp wants a fish sliced up and grilled. Luffy wants a fish with mayonnaise. Usopp says which fish Luffy wants and claims that it is not edible. Luffy punches the fish with Gear Second and Usopp uses the fish hook to grab hold of it. The fish that they caught suddenly got ate by a bigger fish and Zoro uses 360 pound cannon killing it. Nami is still in the bath and she claims that the rest of the crew are making too much of a ruckus and that she shouldn't have trusted them in watching the ship for her. They suddenly got caught in a White Storm and Luffy claims it is the wormhole of his dreams and Usopp slaps him for saying that. Nami claims the crew to be stupid for getting into too much trouble while she was taking a bath. They get caught in the White Storm and they try to hang out to something so they won't fly out of the ship. They finally crash into a whale without noticing at first. Brook then claims that the whale is Laboon but they finally see a whole bunch of whales and the others claim that Laboon is not here but in the first half of the grand line. Sanji then says that they need to get out of there and asks Nami about what they should do. Nami says they don't need to do anything and Sanji listened. The Straw Hats asked one of the whales to give them a ride to the surface of the New World. Brook sang a song for the whales so they can bring them to the surface. Before they got to the surface the Straw Hats remembered the times during their training to become stronger so they can regroup and head towards the New World. They finally surfaced and Thousand Sunny hopped off the whales and landed onto the ocean. The Straw Hats say goodbye to the whales and they see some ships claiming they are pirate ships but then they saw that the ships belong to the Marines.

There is a whole fleet of Neo Marine ships, one of which houses Ain and Bins. The Straw Hats fight back against a fleet of Marine ships, but it turns out to be a mirage. Huge raindrops appear out of nowhere, and the water suddenly splits. The Straw Hats wake up with different clothes. However, Sanji sees that the food he cooked is gone, so he blames it on Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper until Chopper wonders if the sea is haunted. Suddenly, the food begins to be eaten very quickly. Luffy finds the person who ate the food and it turns out to be a little girl. She attacks the Straw Hats and they fight back. It is then revealed that she ate the Mini Mini no Mi and that her name is Lily. She turns out to be a giant, though her devil fruit makes her small. She befriends the Straw Hats after they save her from drowning and wants to see her dad (this is why she invaded the Marine's fleet of ships). She then talks about food to Luffy. On the Neo Marines' ship, Ain calls Shuzo and asks why he was not there. Shuzo tells Ain that he will make a better second-in-command and that he is going after Lily's father. The Straw Hats see Marine ships coming their way who have Lily's father captive. They are heading towards Impel Down, so Luffy declares battle against the Marines.

Nami creates a plan for the Straw Hats to rescue Lily's father, Panz Fry. Chopper, Robin, Brook, and Luffy are the diversion group while Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, and Lily are in the submarine. Luffy goes on the submarine because he finds the diversion group boring. They rescue Panz Fry, but Momonga attacks Luffy, forcing Zoro to intercept him. Shuzo attacks the marines and Panz Fry. His pet alpaca Alpacacino shoots out a cannon at the Marine ships. Shuzo attacks Panz Fry directly but is intercepted by Luffy. Shuzo then kicks Luffy into the sea. Zoro jumps into the water to save his captain, and Shuzo and Sanji get into an argument. Shuzo tells Momomga his reason why he quit the marines, much to the dismay of the rest of his crew.

Several of Shuzo's men appear and fight against the Marines and easily begin to overwhelm them. Luffy continues to fight Shuzo while Zoro fights Momonga to which the Vice-admiral states they shouldn't interfere with their business like this. Zoro uses his 360 pound cannon and sends Momonga back that destroys a Marine ship. From the sidelines, Nami notices the wave changes in the ocean and realizes a Thrust-up Stream is coming. When Usopp asks what that is and asks if it's similar to the Knock-up Stream like the one that took them to Sky Island, Nami says it is, but smaller, but still has enough power to destroy a Marine ship. She has Franky fire the anchors to the raft Panz Fry and the others are on and lets Sanji and Lily know in advance. Luffy has a hard time against Shuzo's fighting style due to his long arms, but then starts using Haki to overwhelm Shuzo again. As Robin, Chopper, and Brook make their way back to the Sunny, several Thrust-up Streams take out some ships, one of the streams has Usopp in the Shark Submerge flying back to the ship. As Nami has everyone get on the ship she has Franky use a Coup de Burst after the raft everyone is one get close to the thrust and they fly away. However, Luffy and Zoro fall off due to the raft breaking and Luffy uses his arms to grab the raft while Shuzo uses a knife with a Vivre Card attached to it on the raft. After they get away, Momonga gathers his men on a broken ship and laments them having gotten away again while Shuzo goes to finish the Marines off with an attack and defeats Momonga. He then travels to the Straw Hats location and recalls his past fight with Ain and how their fight lasted for over five hours till she won, prompting their leader Z to give her the win and the title of next in command. Shuzo is determined to become the new next in command and destroy the pirates. The Straw Hats land in a location around some rocks and Robin notes they will be safe for now and Nami happy that the planned worked and that they finally got out of the sea. Chopper works on Panz Fry noting he had some bad injuries and that he'll be fine if he rests. Lily thanks Chopper for helping her father and the rest of the crew. Luffy is excited that he can try Panz Fry's cooking and Lily reveals she took some food from the Marines and while Zoro notes that's odd given the circumstances, he changes his tone after seeing she took some sake also. As Luffy asks Panz Fry to make some food, Sanji kicks him stating he needs to rest and Chopper says Luffy didn't listen. However, Panz Fry says he will cook for then despite Lily's protest stating that as a chef and Giant, he was saved by the crew and would shame himself if he didn't repay them for risking their lives and thanks Luffy for saving him and will cook the food. Shuzo arrives at the location and notes they are out of torpedoes and several of his men offer their lives to use as torpedoes, prompting Shuzo to acknowledge their sacrifice and say they are true men and state he will not let their deaths be for nothing.

Luffy defeats Shuzo and his pet alpaca and the group gets to eat the heavenly food from Panz Fry before parting ways with Lilly & Pans Fry and setting off for another adventure in the New World. Meanwhile, Ain is talking with Zephyr, where it is revealed to him that Shuzo lost. Ain takes the blame, but Zephyr does not care since neither Shuzo nor his men will tell the marines anything.
