Of course, Eiichiro Oda’s beloved story isn’t just inspiring companies looking to capitalize on One Piece’s popularity for profit; it also stimulates the creativity of fans creating their own content for the franchise, especially cosplay. For example, Instagram user Mia_raspberrycosplays teamed up with fellow cosplayer Linichii to precisely animate Nami, the Straw Hats’ weather-controlled navigator. The two-for-one cosplay recreates the character’s design from before and after the time-skip of the story.
Similarly, one One Piece fan on Reddit perfectly captured Vinsmoke Sanji’s great personality. As the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji is responsible for keeping the crew well-fed. One of the many commenters on the post asked the cosplayer if he could cook, to which he replied, affirming, “I make mean Pop Tart.”
Oda’s One Piece manga is distributed in North America by VIZ Media, and the anime adaptation by Toei Animation is available to stream on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.
