Specifically, the high-speed coaster named 'One Piece X Hollywood Dream the Ride - Departure! Mini Merry II' will be constructed around Universal Studios Japan's renowned Hollywood Dream roller coaster. This coaster will feature new Merry II-themed decorations, the ship crafted by Franky. Remarkably, the sound on the coaster will include the most impressive scenes from the anime and the theme song of One Piece Film: Red.

The central part of the 25th-anniversary celebration of the One Piece manga will be a new stage program focusing on the character Jinbei. Each 75-minute program will feature fireworks. The stage performance is based on a storyline entirely from the original manga, aiming to promote the One Piece Film: Red project. The program will also recreate significant moments from the manga and anime, including Luffy's decision to become the Pirate King.
