The story opens on Pirate Zap's ship, where two of his crew, Bonnie and Max, are tired and want to escape, but unfortunately they have no money. Three children were being held captive on the ship overhear them. The eldest, Amanda, who's father was a pro treasure hunter, knows the whereabouts of a great treasure, and offers them a deal. If they help them make a clean escape, they could take all the treasure they wanted. They agree, and the five of them barely escape and make it onto a small island where they meet Luffy and his crew. Unfortunately they were pursued and Luffy and Amanda are captured and brought back to their boss, the head of the Bayan Pirates, who is also after the treasure. Now Luffy and the others must battle the Bayan pirates and find the treasure that Amanda's father had left for his children. Amanda, who has always resented adventure and treasure because her father was constantly gone in search for it, finally understands his feelings.

Where it came from
Released in 2003, 'Open Upon the Great Sea! A Father's Huge, HUGE Dream!' is an original television special produced by Toei Animation as part of the broader One Piece anime franchise. Unlike the series' core adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga, this special was developed as standalone filler content, a common practice for long-running shonen series during the early 2000s to provide supplemental material for broadcast television audiences.
The special features an original story focusing on a father and daughter who harbor dreams of sailing the ocean, thematic elements designed to mirror the central pursuit of freedom and adventure found in the main series. While it does not influence the primary canon of the Straw Hat Pirates' journey, it reflects the visual style and character designs established by Toei during the early years of the anime's production, serving as a nostalgic artifact of the franchise's expanding media footprint during that period.
