If you are a fan of One Piece, then you may want to hide your wallet. The long-running anime has been around for more than a decade, and it has pushed out dozens of home releases. From movies to anime seasons, fans of the franchise have surely forked up some serious berries for the Captain Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. And, now, Funimation has confirmed it will be plundering more booty from anime lovers later this year.
Why is that? Well, it’s because the studio has announced plans to bring One Piece‘s ninth season to the U.S. The company updated its website with a pre-order link for the One Piece release, and it notes that season nine will go on sale June 20, 2017.
