One Piece: Heroines arrives in July with new stories starring the series' heroines
The first major event of the month will take place on July 5 in Japan, the chosen date for the premiere of One Piece: Heroines.
This anime special is inspired by the popular light novels of the same name, offering a different view of the One Piece world by focusing on some of its most beloved female characters.
The protagonists of these stories are Nami, Nico Robin, Vivi, and Perona, who will experience untold adventures with a refreshed visual style that differs from the main anime produced by Toei Animation.
Fans in Spain and the rest of the world won't have to wait long, as Netflix will premiere One Piece: Heroines on July 11, thus expanding the franchise's content catalog on the platform.
This release provides an opportunity to discover new facets of these characters and keep interest alive while other projects in the universe created by Eiichiro Oda continue to develop.

Every year, this celebration brings together millions of fans worldwide and is usually accompanied by special illustrations, merchandise, commemorative campaigns, and various activities organized by the franchise, and its 29th anniversary will be no exception.
