We have good news for One Piece fans overseas, as Netflix has confirmed a release date for One Piece Heroines, and it's less than one week after it drops in Japan.
On June 25, Netflix took to Twitter to confirm that the upcoming special episode of One Piece will land on the streamer on July 11. That's just six days after it airs in Japan on the evening of July 5. Check out the post below.
A new ONE PIECE story is coming to Netflix! Based on ONE PIECE novel HEROINES, enjoy this story featuring Nami and Robin 👠ONE PIECE HEROINES comes to Netflix worldwide on July 11! pic.twitter.com/ON3eIEc6leJune 25, 2026
The special episode is set to follow the female leads of the One Piece series. The synopsis reads, "After buying a pair of shoes that end up hurting her feet, Nami returns to the shop feeling dissatisfied. There, she meets Lebno, the designer, who tells her, 'I’ll make you a brand-new pair from scratch—but only if you’ll be my model.' The shoes are crafted by the artisan Miucha, leading to an unexpected and stylish encounter."
One Piece released the first teaser on June 23 over on YouTube, which saw Nami make her high fashion debut, and features the episode's theme song 'Blue Shining Star' by AiNA THE END. You can watch the teaser trailer below.
The episode is titled Nami, adapting the character's One Piece Heroines story. However, the novel also focuses on different adventures following three other One Piece Heroines, so there's plenty of content to adapt in the future. Although Nami's story revolves around fashion, Robin's story sees her decipher an ancient tablet, whereas Princess Vivi receives a love letter from an admirer, and Ghost Princess Perona goes after the last bottle of wine.
The news of Netflix's Heroines release date comes just one day after the streamer released the first The One Piece teaser. The upcoming show will act as a remake of the original anime series, adapting the legendary manga by Eiichiro Oda. However, The One Piece will tell the same story in fewer episodes, meaning that new fans can catch up with the franchise without having to watch 22 seasons of the main show. Of course, Nami will also appear in The One Piece, which hits Netflix in February 2027.
