One Piece: Red Highlights Luffy in Latest Poster

By Megan Peters

One Piece has taken its time with its next film, but it won't be long before Luffy and Shanks hit the big screen. The anime is slated to bring One Piece Film: Red to theaters this fall, and all eyes are on the movie ahead of its debut. So of course, you can see why fans are hyped for Luffy's special new poster.

The visual was released today in light of Weekly Shonen Jump's new issue. After all, the publication unveiled the visual, and it shows Luffy looking like quite the swashbuckler.

As you can see, the hero looks pretty punk thanks to his spiked bracelets and long leather coat. The look is paired with a massive skull-crossbones hat and a spotted bandana. And in true Luffy style, the hardcore looks tones itself down with some distressed red shorts and a deep-cut top.

Clearly, Luffy's fashion is as eclectic as ever, and this poster shows fans how the hero is going to look on screen. After all, One Piece: Red will follow Luffy as he uncovers some plot involving Shanks, his mentor and rival pirate. A new character has also been introduced in this film, and the heroine has two-tone hair. The girl's red-white style has some questioning whether she is related to Shanks, and given the film's title, the theory isn't a huge stretch.
