The Cursed Holy Sword
呪われた聖剣 (Norowareta Seiken)
The Straw Hat Pirates landed at Asuka Island, home of the most valuable sword in the world: The Seven Star Sword. Which was said to curse anyone who takes it in possession. When they got back to the Going Merry, they discovered that Zoro is missing from his guard duty. Before they could plan out a search party to relocate him. Luffy and friends escape from the port as Marines were on their tail. They found a new place to dock, which is near a village. Whose job is to keep the Seven Star Sword sealed. Soon it was attacked by the Marines, and among them is Zoro. Luffy and the others don't know why he's helping out the Marines. But it all comes to conclusion when Luffy encounters Saga: Zoro's childhood friend from Swordsman training.

One Piece’s The Cursed Holy Sword is the fifth movie in the franchise. Unlike the first four movies, no new crew member was added. This movie focuses on Zoro more than the rest of the crew. This movie tries to pull on our heart string like all the other, but it just fell flat. I didn’t really care that much for any of the extra characters in the movie. The story of Zoro’s long lost friend and promise feel very contrived. This movie had more slapstick scenes than normal and very little fight scenes at the end. It was a whole lot of talking and talking of backstory. It was a bit boring, to be honest. All the villains feel rather weak compared to the previous movies.
I would say skip The Cursed Holy Sword movie unless you feel you need to watch everything One Piece. One Piece contains strong graphic violence and moderate suggestive themes/dialogs.
