Dreams!, The Zenny Pirate Crew Sortie!, Beyond the Rainbow
Season 5 of One Piece largely consists of original anime-only adventures that broaden the Straw Hats' escapades beyond the manga's main arc, centering on character-driven side quests rather than the core plot. It opens with the Dreams! arc, where each Straw Hat reflects on personal goals and motivations, underscoring their resolve to continue their journey. The following Zenny Pirates arc introduces an elderly moneylender named Zenny who resides on an island with an unconventional group of companions; what begins as conflict gradually evolves into mutual respect as the crew learns more about his past. The concluding Rainbow Mist arc traps Luffy and his friends inside a mysterious time-distorting fog, where they meet children separated from their families for years by the phenomenon. The crew helps uncover the truth behind the disturbance and finds a way back home.
