Ever wanted to become the greatest swordsman in the world? Nerf’s new line of katanas, inspired by ONE PIECE character Roronoa Zoro’s (Mackenyu) armory, will get you one step closer. Debuting on Jan. 15 at major retailers, the collection is designed for aspiring pirates ages 6 and up. Three different options — each sold separately — feature eye-catching pops of yellow, red, black, and white. (See below for photos.) Each is 24 inches long and features a foam blade with a plastic core and foam hilt. The katanas are a fitting tribute to Zoro, who is known as the master of the Three Sword Style in Netflix’s hit live-action adaptation of the popular manga, created by Eiichiro Oda. As Mackenyu put it to Tudum, his character can best be described succinctly: “Green hair, three swords — holds one in his mouth.” If you need to stock up on even more ONE PIECE-inspired goodies, we’ve got you covered. The Lego Group, Netflix, and Tomorrow Studios have teamed up to create thrilling Lego sets that take you directly to the Blue Planet. Re-create the Battle at Arlong Park with a 926-piece set that brings the memorable showdown between the Straw Hats and Arlong to life. Or journey to Baratie Floating Restaurant, which has been transformed into a 3,402-piece set packed with plenty of Easter eggs, including five collectible “Wanted” posters. You can also head to Netflix’s shop for all the latest merch, including a sweatshirt featuring the adorable Tony Tony Chopper, a Straw Hat hockey jersey, and a phone case with an intricate map to the One Piece. And don’t forget to mark your calendar for March 10! ONE PIECE’s second season — titled ONE PIECE: Into the Grand Line — is setting sail back to Netflix, and our heroes will face “fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet,” according to the official synopsis. “Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line — a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn,” it reads. “As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”
