One Piece's epic finale.

According to an announcement on X by One Piece's official , Shueisha will be releasing a new re-edited version of One Piece's manga called Character Remix as part of its Shueisha Jump Remix collection. These volumes will compile chapters relevant to each Straw Hat in chronological order to help fans follow every Straw Hat's journey in One Piece from their point of view from their backstory to their meeting Luffy and setting out to sea with him.

Volumes 1 and 2 of Character Remix are set to be released on July 4, 2024, and will follow Luffy's point of view, with each volume consisting of a whopping 580 pages. According to the announcement, the rest of the Straw Hats' volumes will be published one after another, though there has been no information about when the translated versions of these volumes will be made available, if at all.

One Piece's New Series Will Be a Chronological Compilation

Every Straw Hat's Backstory and Journey Will Be Depicted in Order of Events

It is important to note that since this new series has been described as a re-edited collection, the chances of there being new, never-before-seen content are slim. That said, the Character Remix series has the chance to finally properly lay out any non-linear character backstories in One Piece, such as those of Luffy and Sanji.

Luffy's volumes will likely be very similar to the original manga as fans know it, which is largely told from Luffy's perspective. That said, Luffy's journey may not begin with Romance Dawn but rather in the Goa Kingdom, starting with his meeting with Ace and Sabo, which in the One Piece manga was only shown around 500 chapters into the story after the events of Marineford. Similarly, Sanji's volume could also show his early childhood in the Germa Kingdom and his meeting with Zeff in proper order, which is sure to be even more heartbreaking than before when put together.

Overall, One Piece's new Character Remix series is sure to be worth a read, as knowing Oda, they are bound to be full of easter eggs and maybe even some hints to the series' many mysteries. Luffy's volume in particular has the most potential for including subtle hints and highlighting instances of foreshadowing, though the rest of the Straw Hats' volumes may also end up surprising fans.

One Piece is available from Manga Plus and Viz Media.
