One Piece’s special One Piece: Heroines spin-off novel will be getting an official release in the United States! One Piece is bigger than ever as the anime is now in the midst of celebrating its 25th anniversary, and both the manga and anime are now in the first arc of the Final Saga of Eiichiro Oda’s long running series. But while the franchise has begun setting the stage for the grand finale, there is still plenty of time to tell stories for many of the other characters across the seas before it all comes to an end in the near future.ย

With a course charted for the treacherous waters of the Grand Line and beyond, this is one captain who’ll never give up until he’s claimed the greatest treasure on Earth: the Legendary One Piece!”
