The rumors about a new Fortnite crossover are coming to a head. Could Luffy and the Straw Hat Gang from popular anime One Piece be coming to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4? Here are all the details.
Rumors of a possible One Piece crossover in Fortnite have been circulating for some time. However, while animes like Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan made it to the island, Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew are still nowhere to be seen.
So, we're slowly wondering: Will One Piece ever come to Fortnite? We have all the leaks, teasers, and rumors for you at a glance.
Will Luffy, Zorro and Co. from One Piece Come To Fortnite?
Rumors of a possible One Piece x Fortnite crossover began some time ago when Donald Mustard changed his Twitter location to "The Blue Ocean". He also shared a video of him standing in front of the ocean with huge waves crashing against rocks on the shore.

Fans quickly let their imaginations run wild, and One Piece, with its large fandom, was mentioned repeatedly. The manga series is centered around Monkey D. Luffy, whose sole goal is to become the Pirate King.
He assembles his crew - the infamous Straw Hat Crew - and sets off on a quest to find the most legendary treasure of all time: the elusive One Piece!

Then, more leaks appeared that teased the theme of the then-new Season 3. With a leaked jungle-tropical theme, Fortnite leaker HYPEX (an expert in his field) guessed that the next logical step would be to introduce a One Piece collab as the next anime crossover in Fortnite.

To our surprise, it was the anime Jujutsu Kaisen and not One Piece that came to Fortnite. However, this doesn't rule out the possibility of One Piece making its grand appearance...
According to a leaker, One Piece's Nico Robin was considered by Epic Games to be added as a skin on Fortnite during a recent survey.

However, no real confirmation yet, even though the same polls have already announced the arrival of collaborations with Attack on Titan and Transformers.
Fortnite x One Piece Crossover: Possible Release Date
One Piece is getting a live-action adaptation exclusively on Netflix on August 31! Given that the final 4th Fortnite Season of Chapter 4 is launching on August 25, there probably isn't a better time to merge the two universes. After all, it would likely be the best promotion imaginable for both Netflix and Epic Games.
It's also possible that not just the original anime characters from One Piece, but also those from the live-action adaptation will be introduced into the game.
Of course, this is all speculation. However, since all major anime are already in Fortnite, except for One Piece, it might just be a matter of time before Luffy and Co. make their entrance.
