One Piece Film: God Valley Will Not Feature Luffy

Big news dropped at ONE PIECE DAY 2026. The franchise is officially working on a new movie titled One Piece Film: God Valley. This is a massive shift for the series because it will be the first major film that does not focus on Monkey D. Luffy and his crew.

God Valley is a legendary location in the series history. Fans have waited a long time to see the events that happened there. By centering the story on this specific piece of lore, the filmmakers are giving us a look at the past rather than the current adventures of the Straw Hats.

We can expect this movie to hit Japanese theaters in the summer of 2027. Following that, another project called One Piece Film: Baad is already on the schedule for 2029. It is a bold move to put Luffy on the sidelines, but the history of God Valley is exciting enough to carry a whole film on its own.
