The fifth season of the One Piece anime television series aired from November 3, 2002 to February 2, 2003 on Fuji Television. Directed by Kōnosuke Uda and produced by Toei Animation. Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates, but instead of adapting part of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga, it features three completely original, self-contained filler story arcs, denoted in whole as "TV Original". The first five episodes, each following their own plots, form the "Dreams!" (ドリームス!) arc. The next three episodes make up the "Shutsugeki! Zenii Kaizoku Dan" storyline and focus on the Straw Hats meeting an old moneylender. The last five episodes form the "Niji no Kanata e" arc and deal with the protagonists getting trapped inside a mysterious, rainbow-colored mist.
