Its no secret that One Piece is one of the biggest franchises in Japanese pop culture, both in Japan and internationally. With fans all around the world, it comes as no surprise that One Piece is starting to have global events beyond just those that are in Japan. This year, for the first time, there is going to be a One Piece Day celebration in America, which will be totally accessible for fans who speak English. This is a huge deal in the anime world; an event outside of Japan, in English, that is dedicated to not all Japanese pop culture in general, but one specific franchise.
