What do the girls do when they’re not sailing on the ship or taking on world-ending villains? That’s what Eiichiro Oda decided to show us in this spin-off series. Boasting a new art style, the novel series gives Nami, Robin, Vivi, Perona, Hancock, Tashigi, Reiju, and Uta a chance to shine under the spotlight. We’ll see how brightly they shine when One Piece: Heroines premieres on July 5th, 2026.
It’s a very special time for us at J-List, because 30 years ago this week, we started the first anime and hentai shop selling to fans around the world. And we’ve been able to make it this far thanks to our wonderful customers. We’re celebrating with a huge 20% sale on all in-stock Japan products, through October 7th. Start browsing now!

One Piece: Heroines Cast
Two legendary pirate girls and a new friend are as follows:
- Nami — Akemi Okamura (Ayla Rose from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE). Nami is a weather-controlling pirate and a skilled thief.
- Nico Robin — Yuriko Yamaguchi (Ritsuko Akagi from Neon Genesis Evangelion). Robin is a translation expert, historian, and a many-handed pirate.
- Miucha — Maaya Sakamoto (Tamayo from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba). Miucha is an underappreciated saleswoman and shoemaker.
Toei Animation maintains a home page, an Instagram page, a TikTok channel, a YouTube channel, and a Twitter (X) page to promote One Piece. You can find more information about the series and the key visuals at those sites.
The Flowers of the Seas, One Piece: Heroines
Miucha works the register at the prestigious Lebno Listchaque store. She’s the first to welcome Nami when she demands a refund for the uncomfortable shoes she purchased. Miucha tries to explain their no-refund policy until the owner, Lebno, brokered a deal with Nami to make both parties happy. He asked her to walk a runway wearing his clothes, as only beautiful women should wear his name. Nami jumped at the chance to show off.
Miucha reminds Nami of her adoptive mother, Bell-mère, prompting a conversation between the two. Nami asked her why she wasted her time and talents working for Lebno. Miucha explains her one-sided crush and her own self-doubts. Nami decides to steal more than just the scene when she walks down the runway. In the end, the heroines will win the day.
