One Piece franchise expansion

Overview

The One Piece franchise is experiencing narrative and commercial expansion as it approaches its 30th anniversary in 2027. The current story arc focuses on the protagonist Luffy in Elbaf, where he is described as a 19-year-old Emperor with a 3 billion berry bounty. Narrative developments in Elbaf involve interactions with characters such as Loki and Hajrudin.

Merchandise activity has increased alongside these story developments. Recent additions include a Momonosuke Funko POP figure available for preorder in Italy, scheduled for release on December 11, 2026. MegaHouse has announced the second installment of its ‘WALLSTAR ONE PIECE’ collectible figure series, featuring Luffy and Nami in their Elbaf designs. These figures, priced at approximately 2,970 yen, feature wall-mountable packaging and are scheduled for release in late May 2027.

Further commercial activity includes the “ONE PIECE × Namco Campaign 2026,” a promotional event running from November 20, 2026, to January 11, 2027, at Namco facilities and online services in Japan. The campaign features limited-edition prizes such as a DXF posing figure of Loki and various “Chibigurumi” plushies. Broader franchise anticipation also includes upcoming LEGO projects and a second season of the Netflix live-action adaptation.
