It features the Straw Hat pirates with the Going Merry arriving in an enclosed island. Luffy is seen in excitement, Nami and Robin shopping with Chopper as the holder, Zoro sleeping on a bench, Luffy and Usopp, amazed with the islands products and Sanji falling in love with a girl. Nami and the others enjoys the island's beach when Luffy starts to jump in the water which surprises Nami. Everyone coordinate in preparing lunch (except for Luffy whose playing with some monkeys). The Straw Hats are shown one by one followed by Mihawk, Ace and Shanks. A pirate ship arrives with "GAHOOOO" written on the sail and a lion jolly roger. The ship suddenly launches an attack which is countered by Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, then Luffy uses the combination of Gomu Gomu no Rocket and Gatling to break the ship apart. The Straw Hats enjoy the beach when suddenly a dinosaur appears before them chasing the Straw Hats away with Luffy in amazement. The Going Merry is seen traveling the map. The hills and the beach that was shown before the title made a second appearance but now in daylight. It also shows the places where the Straw Hats made their appearances.

Lyrics[]
We painted clouds in the cobalt blue sky
They dampened the adrift future
You can just smile before the twilight
There's a wish in our small hearts
When we took our hopes and cast a spell
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
We felt as if it sped up, as rainbow notes played
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Won't you come with us?
We're fallen angels
We shoot arrows at our dreams
Darling Darling
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
I'm a Crazy Rainbow Star!
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
What colors shall we paint over the cobalt blue?
Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star!!
Twinkle Twinkle Rainbow Star!!
Shatter the sad reality that we see
We'll give you feathers imbued with warmth
We're surreal fallen angels
We sing from the heart
Darling Darling

- At the first FUNimation convention, the representatives present had shown this introduction, thus making it the first Japanese intro to be used under FUNimation's dubbing. In note of the event, when the introduction was finished playing the representatives present then asked the audience if they would like to hear the 4Kids intro again upon which they were met with a loud "No!".[citation needed]
- This opening does not use any footage from the actual episodes.
- At the end of the opening, a red inner tube can be seen with the logo of the company Criminal.
- The Color Spreads from Chapter 186, Chapter 226, Chapter 241, and Chapter 379 can all be seen in the opening.
- As with other openings, the English dub uses their version of the title rather than the original one, despite the letters of the main title being scattered around the beach at the start.
- Crunchyroll's release of the anime omits this opening entirely, instead replacing it with the Straw Hats version of We Are.
