User:Sjones23/List of One Piece episodes (season 16)

The sixteenth season of the One Piece anime series was produced by Toei Animation, and directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto. The season was broadcast in Japan on Fuji Television from October 2, 2011 to December 4, 2011, airing for nine episodes. As with the rest of the series, the season focuses on Monkey D. Luffy as the Straw Hats. It contains a single story arc, which is untitled and mainly adapts the 61st to 62nd volumes of the material from the One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda.

Two years have passed since Luffy lost his brother Portgas D. Ace in the Battle of Marineford and the Straw Hat Pirates have since trained for their reunion. Following a run-in with a local pirate crew posing as the Straw Hats, the crew finally reunites and boards the Thousand Sunny for Fishman Island to get to the New World. However, the Straw Hats must avoid Caribou, a rookie pirate chasing after them, volcanoes, a kraken and a hostile pirate crew called the New Fishman Pirates. The DVD releases have not yet begun.

The season uses a single piece theme music. The opening theme, titled "We Go!" (ウィーゴー!), is performed by Hiroshi Kitadani.
