Quick recap

The fifth film, non-canon and centered on Zoro. Zoro leaves the crew, lured away by the men of Saga, his childhood friend. The Straw Hats search for him on an island where the priestess Maya guards the secret of the Seven-Star Sword, a cursed blade that once ruined that land and now controls Saga. Three purple orbs can seal the sword, and Maya attempts the ritual. A possessed Saga beats Zoro in their first duel. The sword crumbles and pours its power into Saga's body. Zoro takes over the fight from Luffy, wins and frees his friend, who vows to honor their old promise.
