As a dedicated gamer and huge fan of One Piece, I can’t help but be in awe of its creator, Eiichiro Oda’s unwavering passion for his shonen universe. His devotion is undeniable, with him putting in almost every waking moment to bring the story of the Straw Hat Pirates to life. Alongside regularly releasing manga chapters and serving as an Executive Producer on Netflix’s live-action adaptation, Oda also frequently shares new art from the series. Even a past version of Monkey D. Luffy, which was quite distinct from the current one, has garnered enough attention to receive new merchandise.
