This thread is specifically about the One Piece OVA, which never aired on TV.
According to Wikipedia's One Piece article:
"In 1998, OVAs for three manga serialized in Weekly Jump (including One Piece) were produced for the July "Jump Super Anime Tour". Called "Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack", this one-episode OVA featured an original villain designed by Eiichiro Oda (the titular Ganzack). Notably, the animation for the OVA was handled by the renowned Production I.G., and the voice cast was completely different from the later TV series, both of which lend a different feel to this production. Wataru Takagi (this OVA's Zolo) would later return to the Toei Animation-produced TV series to voice the pirate captain Bellamy "the Hyena".
This OVA was originally shown only at the 1998 Jump Super Anime Tour; however, there was a Jump-exlusive promotion in early 1999, where fans could send in special coupons from the magazine and redeem them for a VHS copy. [1]. Later, a novelization of the OVA, by Tatsuya Hamazaki, would be published under Shueisha's Jump jBooks imprint. [2].

I really want to get this OVA!
