One Piece: Collection Five

One Piece!!!
Price will drop a few weeks before the release. 30 bucks is the retail price in stores but amazon sells it cheaper when its released and sometimes they raise the price. I own all of the Collections so far. Dont regret a single purchase. Simply a must have. Always buy them on release date so I can get them for 20 bucks. Im a happy camper with these dvds. 24 episodes released every 1-2 months. Going to have a lot of episodes within one year if this keeps up =D Thank you Funimation

Now the straw hat crew is trapped below rain dinners all expect for chopper and sanji. They come up with a plan to make Crocodile step outside. Then sanji destroy the bridge to rain dinners.
