ONE PIECE PREMIER SUMMER 2026 is now open at Universal Studios Japan. The park announced the event’s launch on August 4 with a new story setup featuring the Straw Hat Crew, Boa Hancock, and the Kuja Pirates.
The scenario begins during the Straw Hat Crew’s voyage. Luffy and the crew stop at an island preparing for its annual festival, where they reunite with the Kuja Pirates.

Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, leads the Kuja Pirates into the new park story. The reunion brings both pirate crews together on the festival island before another character enters the scene.

Universal Studios Japan introduces that character as Vendigar, a mysterious man who appears after the two crews meet. The official announcement positions Vendigar’s arrival as the next turn in the event’s story.
