What Is One Piece Fan Letter?

As a fellow enthusiast, I couldn’t be more thrilled to share some exciting news about the upcoming One Piece Fan Letter special! This special is going to draw from a captivating novel written by Tomohito Ohsaki in 2017 – One Piece Novel: Straw Hat Stories. This book offers a unique perspective, as it delves into various tales about Luffy’s crew, narrated from an outsider’s point of view.

To date, it has been confirmed that the anime adaptation of the “One Piece Fan Letter” will encompass at least four chapters from the Straw Hat novel. The focus will be on Luffy, Zoro, Franky, and Nami, while regrettably, Jinbe is not included in this particular arc. For those interested in learning more about the excerpts from the “One Piece Fan Letter”, you can find synopses of these chapters below:

  • Nami: “A young shut-in from Sabaody with an obsession for female pirates falls in love with her idol, Nami. When she hears of the Straw Hats returning at the Archipelago after 2 years, she hopes to catch a glimpse of the woman that changed her life.”
  • Luffy: “During the battle of Marineford, a Marine witnesses Luffy rescuing Ace. Witnessing the bond between the two brothers makes him question his relationship with his own brother, who is also fighting in the war.”
  • Zoro: “In a bar at Dress Rosa, a drunk Zoro enters a powerscaling debate with a bunch of Marines about who the strongest swordsman in the world is: Mihawk, Shanks, Vista, Ryuma, or Zoro; without any of the Marines realizing who he really is.”
  • Franky: “A young girl moves to Water 7 from another island and takes the job of managing a bookstore. There she hears stories about Franky from different familiar faces, as she grows accustomed to her new life in the Water Capital.”
