The Grand Line has made its way to Quezon City—and One Piece fans can step into the world of their favorite pirates.
SM North EDSA is bringing the Straw Hat crew and the world of One Piece to life from August 18 to 30 as part of Animezing North, the mall’s umbrella initiative for official anime activations.
The Block Atrium will be transformed into a One Piece-themed universe, with giant inflatables of Dorry and Brogy taking center stage. The legendary giant warriors offer a preview of the highly anticipated Elbaph arc, while the activation will also feature the Thousand Sunny inflatable—a first for the Philippines.
Fans can also shop for officially licensed One Piece merchandise from brands including Toy Kingdom, Miniso, GeekPH, Oxygen, Careline, National Bookstore, Filbars, SM Store, Funko, and Coolectzone. Those exploring the activation can also score a free Chopper paper hat.
For collectors, spending at least P3,500 on One Piece merchandise comes with a limited-edition One Piece tote bag.
And yes, Chopper himself will be making an appearance. Tony Tony Chopper meet-and-greet sessions are scheduled for August 21 to 24 and August 28 to 30.
The One Piece adventure will then continue at the SM Mall of Asia Complex on September 26, when RunRio stages the One Piece Run.
Participants can choose 1K, 3K, 5K, or 10K distances and receive an exclusive race kit featuring a One Piece shirt, race bib, and pirate-themed bandana. Finishers will also get a tote bag, towel, and spinning One Piece medal.
Additionally, RunRio will have official race-day merchandise available onsite, including iconic straw hats and comfortable hoodies.
