One Piece Cosplay Shows Off Why Boa Hancock is an Empress

By Nick Valdez

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!

One Piece's anime and manga are well over 1,000 entries at this point. While that may seem like a massive mountain to climb at the outset, it's the sort of series that really draws you in the more you look into it. There are great ways to do just that as not only can you find the entire manga digitally available through Viz Media's digital Shonen Jump library, but you can find all of the anime now streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease the long running series as such:
