One Piece fandom in Italy highlighted by new Zoro statues and Valentino Rossi cosplay

Amazon has listed three detailed Roronoa Zoro statues from Bandai Spirits and Banpresto. One depicts Zoro in the Egghead saga outfit with crossed katanas, another shows a calmer Egghead version, and a third presents the character from the One Piece Film: Red with three swords, one held in his teeth.

Motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi paid tribute to the series by cosplaying as Trafalgar D. Water Law at a VR46 Academy themed party. Rossi recreated Law's iconic white hat, long sword and tattoos, while his brother Luca Marini dressed as Donquixote Doflamingo. The event highlighted the long‑standing link between Rossi and the manga, as creator Eiichiro Oda has confirmed that Law was inspired by the Italian rider.
