Live the 'One Piece' adventure at your fave malls and beyond

The Great Pirate Era isn't just streaming—it's landing in real life. In the Philippines, the journey begins at select PLDT stores, complete with an exclusive one month free broadband promo when you apply for Fiber Netflix 1599

With two successful seasons and a recently confirmed third one, “One Piece” on Netflix has transcended the screen. What started as a beloved manga and anime has become a global phenomenon, arriving just in time for summer, when the call to adventure feels impossible to ignore. The Great Pirate Era is here, and fans everywhere are answering it.
Across the world, “One Piece” has evolved into an “experience.” At the famed Netflix House Philadelphia, for instance, fans can step inside an escape room where teams of six to 12 race against time to uncover clues, solve puzzles, and find the hidden Devil Fruit through the show’s iconic locations.
If you’re dreaming of your own grand escape this summer—stepping onto the Going Merry or testing your mettle against the sea’s most notorious villains without having to fly to the States—you’re in luck. You can do all of that right in any of these real-life “One Piece” gimmicks and activations which are already making waves around the world.
For one, it’s no surprise that the birthplace of the series, Japan, offers the wildest experiences: from the towering life-sized statues in Kumamoto (the creator’s hometown) to the immersive Tokyo “One Piece” Tower (which long served as a pilgrimage site). Beyond these landmark installations, fans can also find themed cafes and pop-up events in Shibuya as if they’ve just walked into a panel of the manga.

In Australia, the “One Piece” buzz has reached fever pitch with exclusive screenings and massive fan gatherings. Major cities have seen public installations that celebrate the show’s record-breaking viewership on Netflix. The One Plus Piece Cafe in Melbourne, for one, features a large-scale Tony Tony Chopper installation and series-themed memorabilia.
But if all of that seems daunting, or downright expensive, you don’t need to cross the Red Line to join the adventure. Right here in the Philippines, home to one of the largest “One Piece” fandoms in the whole world, PLDT Home is transforming its physical stores into an immersive One Piece experience. It’s also the only telco in the country to bring this Netflix partnership to life.
Fans can head to select PLDT stores to see the world of the Grand Line come to life. For long-time readers of the manga and new fans of the Netflix live-action series alike, these store takeovers offer a chance to celebrate your fandom in real life.
