During
the ONE PIECE DAY'25 event, on the special stage of the Egghead
Saga, it was announced that the ONE PIECE HEROINES novel
series will receive an anime adaptation. The work, written by Jun
Esaka and illustrated by Sayaka Suwa, brings together
short stories starring the most beloved women in the franchise.
Along with
the announcement, the first promotional image was presented,
in which Nami and Nico Robin can be seen in
the visual style of the main anime.
About the
novels ONE PIECE HEROINES
This
spin-off was born as stories published in One Piece Magazine before
being collected in two volumes of light novel. The former includes stories
of Nami, Robin, Vivi, and Perona,
while the latter features chapters focusing on Boa Hancock, Tashigi, Reiju,
and Uta, culminating in a hilarious conversation between Nami and
Robin about hygiene aboard the Thousand Sunny. Both volumes are
available in English through VIZ Media.
