In addition to Megumi Ishitani as director, “ONE PIECE FAN LATTER” will have Keisuke Mori as character designer/animation director and Momoka Toyoda in charge of writing the script. Tomohito Ohsaki wrote this novel in 2017 and focuses on ordinary people who “don't pursue One Piece”. It includes 9 short stories about each of the Straw Hat pirates, as well as the reunion of the crew from the perspective of those 'ordinary' people. The story of the girl who admires Nami is one of the stories in the novel.
This is about to launch another project celebrating ONE PIECE's 25th anniversary. Some of the previous projects include a compilation video of the entire anime to date, a Sphere takeover in Las Vegas, a new clothing collaboration with UNIQLO, among many others.
