One Piece season 13
The thirteenth season of the One Piece anime series, which is currently untitled, was produced by Toei Animation, and directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto based on Eiichiro Oda's manga by the same name. It deals with the imprisonment of Luffy's brother Portgas D. Ace and Luffy's attempt to infiltrate the great prison Impel Down to save him. Luffy meets several old enemies from his past in this arc, including Buggy the Clown, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and Mr. 3. After 4 episodes, the ongoing story was put aside for a 4 episode long arc set outside the current continuity, featuring Luffy and his crew's run-in with a group of pirates hired by Shiki, the main antagonist of the film One Piece Film: Strong World. Following this, the Impel Down storyline continued where it had left off. After Luffy's attempt fails, he goes to Marineford to rescue Ace from his execution. While there, he gets involved in a war waged between Whitebeard's pirates and the Marines.
The season began broadcasting on Fuji Television on October 18, 2009. The DVD Release for this season has not yet begun. This season's beginning was announced in the One Piece Movie 10 Guide Book, "One Piece-Pia".[1] The season is currently ongoing.

"Search for the Wind") performed by Mari Yaguchi and the Straw Hats.[2] The third opening theme, starting from episode 459 onwards, is "One Day" performed by The Rootless.[3] The fourth opening theme will be "Fight Together" by Namie Amuro.[4]
