In honor of the franchise’s 20th anniversary, a special magazine entitled “One Piece Magazine” has been announced, which will not only possess a light novel series revolving around the now deceased Ace but One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda will also be sketching up a special “IF” series – with its first part depicting a what-if scenario where Ace lives…
Despite initial expectations, the first chapter of this “what-if” series consists of only a single large spread page, though One Piece fanatics will no doubt be overjoyed by its contents regardless:
Some sample pages of One Piece Magazine:
The “what-if” series will supposedly boast 3 total parts; the first volume of One Piece Magazine is available for purchase now.
OMG!!!
who pathetic fairytail merchandising tactic oda…..
I don’t know if this is pathetic or plain stupid… But it will sell!
Thats the main point, money.
If authors start reviving popular but also dead characters in spin-off there will be no end to it.
Or maybe oda just wanted to flesh out ace character more.
What was so special about Ace that they keep bringing him bqck up?
The pirate king son. And I guess ace is quite popular with the Japanese.
Don’t play with my emotions Oda!!
