Calling all Straw Hat Pirates<\/a>: your next treasure hunt is officially on the map.<\/p>\n

The beloved One Piece franchise is finally planting its Jolly Roger in the US, with the first-ever ONE PIECE <\/a>MUGIWARA STORE set to open in Los Angeles in fall 2026, and it won\u2019t just be the brand\u2019s American debut.<\/p>\n

The anime mega-shop will anchor Westfield Century City, giving fans a permanent destination packed with official One Piece merchandise, exclusive collectibles and store-only goods they won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n

According to Toei Animation, the Los Angeles flagship will feature original animation artwork, exclusive merchandise created specifically for the location and a special in-store video designed to immerse visitors in the world of Monkey D. Luffy<\/a> and the Straw Hat crew.<\/p>\n

The company says the experience is meant to offer fans \u201cnew discoveries with every visit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece first set sail in Weekly Shonen Jump on July 22, 1997, before making the leap to television in 1999 on Japan\u2019s Fuji TV.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles location will become the first permanent US outpost, giving American fans a chance to experience the official store without crossing the Pacific.<\/p>\n

The announcement also comes on the heels of One Piece Night at Dodger Stadium, where fans packed the ballpark <\/a>to see Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers while scoring exclusive One Piece promotional cards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those limited-edition giveaways quickly became hot collectibles, with secondary market listings ranging from about $600 to $1,150 after some gate-side listings initially topped $800 and even surpassed $1,000, another sign that One Piece fever is reaching new heights in the US.<\/p>\n

To mark the announcement, the new store also launched official Instagram (@onepiece_mugiwara_la<\/a>) and X (@OP_MugiwaraLA<\/a>) accounts, giving fans a place to follow the countdown before the doors officially swing open next fall.<\/p>\n
