Everything We Know About One Piece Fan Letter

One Piece Fan Letter will be 30 minutes long, so it won't have the time to cover all the stories from the novel. The one that it will adapt is about a girl who is obsessed with female pirates.

When she hears about the Straw Hat Pirates reuniting on the Sabaody Archipelago, her eyes immediately light up. Thinking that it's her best chance to meet Nami, the young girl gets to work.

Aside from the One Piece Fan Letter, the anime will start airing the remastered version of the Fish-Man Island arc. Originally, the arc was 57 episodes long, but the remaster will condense it and bring it down to just 21.

Aside from better pacing, the arc will be reshaded and new effects will be added. Furthermore, there will be new sound and music effects to make the experience even more enthralling.
