One Piece Film Red hasn’t stopped dominating in Japan, and it most recently sailed past the 17 billion yen milestone with 12.31 million tickets sold. That makes it the 11th highest-grossing film in Japan and puts it in sixth place for all-time anime films, which is enough to make creator Eiichiro Oda swoop in with a celebratory illustration.

Appropriately, the Thousand Sunny is front and center on a wanted poster with a 17 billion yen bounty on its adorable head. 

One Piece Film Red hits Australia and New Zealand on November 3, followed by the United States and Canada on November 4. Crunchyroll describes the feature like so:

Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans—excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks’ daughter
