One Piece Reveals What Is Missing Straw Hats in Wano

Eiiichiro Oda's One Piece first began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997. It has since been collected into over 80 volumes, and has been a critical and commercial success worldwide with many of the volumes breaking printing records in Japan. The manga has even set a Guinness World Record for the most copies published for the same comic book by a single author, and is the best-selling manga series worldwide with over 430 million copies sold. The series still ranked number one in manga sales in 2018, which surprised fans of major new entries.

One Piece's Wano arc has finally kickstarted in the anime series, and along with the major facelift and production changes behind the scenes, one of the most exciting aspects of this new arc is the fact that the Straw Hats that have been missing from the anime for the past few years were finally making their grand return. Zoro, Robin, Usopp, and Franky have been hiding on Wano ever since the end of the Zou arc, but what have they been doing all this time?

One Piece's Wano arc is finally upon us, and the anticipation has reached a fever pitch as each new look at what's to come seemed to look even better than the last one. After being teased for years, Luffy and the entire Straw Hat crew has finally all gathered in the Wano Country and the series will be going through a dramatic shift. This of course includes a new opening theme sequence for the series too.

Opening themes have been full of spoilers in the past, but this one might have just a little more fans should be wary of. At least there's a silver lining in that it's going to look pretty good as it spoils things for fans who have not read ahead in the manga.

With the first episode of the Wano Country arc, fans get a gist for how they have been living their lives all of this time as it turns out they have been hiding amongst the people of Wano and are living "regular" lives in order to avoid getting detected by Kaido.

The new opening theme for the Wano arc is titled "Over the Top," and will be performed by the returning Hiroshi Kitadani (who famously performed the first opening theme, "We Are!"). Shouko Fujibayashi is writing the lyrics for the theme, Kohei Tanaka is composing it, and Takayuki Negishi is arranging the theme. These images from the sequence see a new look for Luffy, another look at Zoro, and even a full spread of the Straw Hats' Wano makeovers. But that's not what stands out.

There's a fierce image of a blue dragon, and this is a spoiler, but it's Kaido's true form. It's a reveal that happens early on in the Wano arc, so it's not exactly a big spoiler, but it definitely hints that the opening itself will be full of things that fans can dig through if they want to learn more about the Wano arc.

As the anime reintroduces the missing Straw Hats, it's revealed that Usopp has become a salesman. This is apt for his storytelling prowess as he sells toad oil to some nearby Wano citizens. Franky has been working under a carpenter as a burgeoning carpenter in training, and is frustrated that he has to downplay his own crafting skills. Robin has taken up becoming a Geisha, and is training in order to get "selected" by the Shogun who has ties to Kaido. As for Zoro? He's become a Ronin who quickly gets himself in trouble.

Each of them has adapted their names to be more traditional, and Wano friendly. Zoro even forces himself to use the old fashioned "de-gozaru" honorific in order to better fit in, too. It's soon revealed in a flashback that when they first arrived on Wano, Kin'emon explained that the land is under the control of the Shogun, Kurozumi Orochi. Officials under Orochi are under Kaido's command as well, so they have to behave themselves in order to keep Kaido from finding out they are there before Luffy and the others arrive.

So to keep from detection, Kin'emon tells the four of them to live "quietly and peacefully" and to "play [their] roles" and bide their time until they can gather their forces to retake Wano. But this already seems to fall apart in the first episode of the arc as Zoro finds himself in a murderous conspiracy and blows his disguise out of the water. Now fans are just wondering where it'll all go from here.
