One Piece: Stampede (2019) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Buena Festa organized the Pirate Festival as an elaborate scheme to draw pirates together. The entire treasure hunt was a facade orchestrated by Festa in collaboration with Douglas Bullet, who had just escaped from Impel Down after twenty years. Their real goal was to use the gathered pirates as bait for a Buster Call attack by the Marines, while Bullet sought the Eternal Pose pointing to Laugh Tale.

Douglas Bullet is a powerful pirate who was imprisoned in Impel Down for twenty years before escaping shortly before the events of the film. He possesses the Clank-Clank Fruit, which allows him to manipulate sound and create massive constructs. His goal is to become the Pirate King by reaching Laugh Tale, and he uses the chaos of the Pirate Festival to make his move.

The Eternal Pose is a special compass that points toward Laugh Tale, the legendary island where the One Piece treasure is said to be hidden. It was presented as the treasure at the Pirate Festival, but in reality, it was a device that could guide ships directly to the final destination rather than allowing pirates to discover it through their own adventures.

Luffy destroyed the Eternal Pose because he rejected the idea of taking a shortcut to find the One Piece. After learning that Roger himself had dismissed the Eternal Pose, Luffy declared that he and his crew would seek out the One Piece on their own terms, believing that the adventure and freedom of carving their own path is what being a pirate is truly about.

Roger intentionally discarded the Eternal Pose because he viewed it as contrary to the essence of true pirating. He believed that relying on a pre-determined path to find the One Piece would cheat pirates out of the countless adventures and experiences that come with forging their own journey. His secret revelation about this belief profoundly impacted Luffy's crew.

The Buster Call was stopped when Smoker discreetly informed his Marine superiors that the mission was moot. This happened during the chaos after the pirates escaped and Bullet was defeated. With the threat neutralized and Delta Island no longer in immediate danger, the Marines called off their assault, allowing the pirates to escape.

Crocodile, a former Warlord, encountered Law and Robin during their escape from Festa's stronghold. He proposed an alliance to take advantage of the chaos and pursue his own interests in the situation. This partnership added another layer to the complex pirate politics, with Crocodile later joining forces with Rob Lucci to help dismantle Bullet's massive creation.

The treasure that all the pirates were competing for turned out to be the Eternal Pose, not the actual One Piece. After Bullet claimed it and challenged the Worst Generation, Luffy ultimately destroyed it to prevent anyone from taking the shortcut. No one obtained the real One Piece or any actual treasure from the festival.

As Bullet's power grew and threatened both pirates and Marines, unlikely alliances formed. Boa Hancock sought out Luffy and encountered Buggy, Smoker, Law, and Sabo. Law revealed his plan to dismantle Bullet's creation, now including Crocodile and Rob Lucci. These combined efforts allowed the group to weaken Bullet's defenses before Luffy's final confrontation.

Buena Festa orchestrated the entire Pirate Festival as a trap because he had made a deal with the Marines. His plan was to lure the world's most dangerous pirates to Delta Island so the Marines could launch a Buster Call and eliminate them all. He worked with Douglas Bullet, who escaped Impel Down specifically to pursue his own goal of reaching Laugh Tale.

During the climactic battle, Usopp intervened at a crucial moment by drawing Bullet's focus away from the escaping pirates. This diversion gave the remaining pirates time to escape the impending danger. Usopp also contributed sharpshooting attacks during the final confrontation, helping to damage Bullet's colossal creation.

Sabo appeared at Delta Island during the chaos of the Pirate Festival and the Marine assault. He encountered Boa Hancock, Buggy, Smoker, and Law. After Festa was defeated, Sabo used his abilities to help guide the pirates to safety through the collapsing fleet, playing a crucial role in their escape.
