One Piece: Protect! The Last Great Performance

Synopsis

For many years, former Marine Lieutenant Randolph and his performance troupe have been staging plays aboard his ship. After losing his own family to pirates, Randolph wants to put on shows that give courage to others who have also lost loved ones to pirates. However, Randolph must soon retire, and he is now presenting his final show. Luffy and his crew come to watch the play and somehow end up participating in it themselves. But from Randolph's past, a vengeful subordinate—who has finally risen to the rank of commander—appears with a diabolical plan to capture Randolph. Luffy and his nakama must now prove to the people that not all pirates are scum, and protect Randolph's final farewell performance from the bitter commander. (aired after Episode 174)
