ONE PIECE highlights family bonds in new "Mother's/Father's Day" collab

ONE PIECE has collaborated with Lotte, one of Japan’s top confectionary manufacturers, to create a new series of illustrations for “Mother’s Day” and “Father’s Day”.

ONE PIECE has recently been involved in a number of high profile collaborations with Baskin Robbins ice cream, the LA Lakers, the Boston Red Sox and even JR West’s Shinkansen trains.

This latest collaboration is intended to promote Lotte’s popular “Ghana” range of chocolates. A range of illustrations have been drawn that depict the family ties depicted in “ONE PIECE”.

“Ghana” is one of Lotte’s most popular chocolate lines and features many different flavors

There are six original visuals in total, each with a message that reflects the feelings of both the child who gives the gift and the parent who receives it.

Let’s take a look at each of the 6 illustrations that are featured in the collab!

Nami, Nojiko and Bellmère

“I’m so happy to be your mother, Nami and Nojiko.”

Luffy, Sabo, Ace and Curly Dadan

“I want to repay even a small part of the trouble I caused you.”

Jewelry Bonney and Kuma

Two illustrations have been prepared for Bonney, each featuring a different message to her mother and father respectively.

“Thank you. Everything I encounter from now on is thanks to you, Mom.”

“To my beloved Dad, who is so strong, yet so gentle to me.”

Chopper and Dr. Hiriluk

Sanji and Zeff

Each image shows the importance of familial bonds between the characters featured, with many using quotes that refer to iconic scenes of affection from the series.

Lotte and ONE PIECE have plans for further collaborative activities based on the “Mother’s/Father’s Day” theme, with a special website set to be updated throughout April as the collaboration progresses.
