One Piece is filled to the brim with some of the most memorable characters in all anime and manga as a whole, and one awesome cosplay is reminding fans of why Boa Hancock is known as the Pirate Empress. Although Luffy has come across all sorts of wild friends and foes through the course of his long journey through the seas thus far, there are fewer characters that have made the kind of impact on fans that Hancock has. Introduced as one of the (now former) Seven Warlords, the Pirate Empress soon became one of Luffy’s biggest and best allies to date.
When we had last seen Hancock in either the manga or anime, her fate is still being left in question as much of the fallout of the Reverie still hangs in the air as Luffy and the Straw Hats are still adventuring on the other side of the world. It might be even longer before we get to see her in action again in some fashion, but thankfully artist @seracoss has provided a great reminder of why Boa Hancock’s such an empress with some awesome cosplay on Instagram!
