With the event nearly upon us, more details have been unveiled, including a full visual and some of the exclusive merch that will be on hand.That particular Friday night—which will see the Lakers take on the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena—will have a few One Piece-themed treats in store, including the first look at a piece of animation that depicts Luffy playing basketball. There are also Lakers-inspired visuals for all the Straw Hats, which you can see in their collective visual below.
As for apparel, those in attendance will get the limited-edition Lakers x ONE PIECE t-shirt pictured at the top of the article and a poster featuring the above artwork. There will also be chances for fans to be randomly selected to win prizes in an on-court One Piece game, and a One Piece Bounty Rush photo booth will be located on the main concourse of the arena. After this event, One Piece will grab a bat and head to Fenway Park for another Boston Red Sox collab on May 3.
