The Straw Hats sail into fast food with a limited-time menu blending anime nostalgia, bold flavors, and collectible surprises.
The worlds of anime fandom and fast-food culture are officially colliding in a way that feels both playful and strategic. Popeyes is linking up with the global hit One Piece for a limited-time menu that leans all the way into pirate fantasy, character-driven storytelling, and comfort food indulgence. The collaboration arrives across participating locations in the United States and Canada, giving fans a chance to eat like they’re part of the Straw Hat crew.
Timed around peak fan excitement, the rollout blends signature Popeyes staples with playful references to beloved characters like Monkey D. Luffy and Tony Tony Chopper. It’s more than a meal drop—it’s a full pop culture moment designed for collectors, anime lovers, and anyone who enjoys a themed dining experience with personality.
Collab
The collaboration centers on a themed menu inspired by One Piece, the long-running Japanese manga and anime created by Eiichiro Oda. Known for its adventurous storytelling and loyal global fanbase, the series follows Luffy and his crew as they chase the legendary treasure known as the One Piece.
At Popeyes, that journey translates into a lineup that mixes comfort food with playful naming, character nods, and limited-edition packaging. The promotion also includes special giveaways and merchandise drops tied to in-store purchases and online exclusives.
The One Piece-inspired menu includes a mix of entrees, drinks, and dessert options designed to reflect key characters and themes from the series:
- Luffy Bento Box ($7.99)
Includes two pieces of Popeyes Signature Chicken paired with mac and cheese. - Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade ($3.49)
A themed lemonade inspired by the mystical fruit tied to Luffy’s powers. - Chopper’s Cupcake ($3.99)
A pink frosted cupcake created in honor of the crew’s beloved doctor, Tony Tony Chopper. - Luffy Bento Bundle ($13.99)
A full meal experience featuring chicken, mac and cheese, the themed lemonade, and Chopper’s cupcake.
The bundle is designed as the most immersive option, packaging multiple elements of the collaboration into a single fan-friendly order.
Giveaways
On launch day, select Popeyes locations will offer a limited-edition bonus for early customers. The first 200 guests who purchase the Luffy Bento Bundle at participating restaurants will receive a collectible bento box.
Locations include:
- New York City — 1530 Broadway, New York
- Boston — 304 Squire Road, Revere, Massachusetts
- New Brunswick — 571 Milltown Road, New Jersey
- Chicago — 621 Ogden Ave., Downers Grove, Illinois
- Los Angeles — 7635 Winnetka Ave., California
- Miami Beach — 1427 Washington Ave., Florida
The drop strategy leans heavily into scarcity and exclusivity, a common driver for both fast-food collaborations and anime merchandise culture.
Merch
Beyond the food, Popeyes is extending the collaboration into retail. Beginning April 15, fans can purchase exclusive One Piece merchandise online, including keychains, T-shirts, and themed bento boxes through the brand’s official shop.
The merch rollout helps bridge the gap between food promotion and fandom lifestyle branding, turning a short-term menu into a longer cultural moment that fans can literally wear and collect.
Anime
For those new to the phenomenon, One Piece is one of the most successful manga and anime franchises in history. Debuting in 1997, it has expanded into television adaptations, films, and a live-action Netflix series. The story’s global impact is unmatched, with the manga surpassing 600 million copies sold worldwide.
The franchise’s creator, Eiichiro Oda, ranks among the best-selling authors of all time, placing One Piece alongside some of the most influential entertainment properties in modern pop culture. Its themes of friendship, ambition, and freedom continue to resonate across generations.
As fast-food brands continue leaning into entertainment partnerships, this collaboration highlights how food, fandom, and storytelling increasingly overlap. For fans, it’s a chance to step into the One Piece universe—one bite at a time.
