ONE PIECE Night returned to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for a special themed event during a Los Angeles Dodgers game. The event, organized by Toei Animation in partnership with the Dodgers, marked the second year of this celebration.

The stadium was fully transformed with ONE PIECE visuals, animations, and digital displays across the venue, including the large outfield screens. Fans also received exclusive giveaways upon entry, including a Dodgers-branded Straw Hat and a limited-edition ONE PIECE trading card featuring Luffy in a baseball uniform.
A highlight of the night was a ceremonial first pitch thrown by Monkey D. Luffy, the main character of ONE PIECE. Fans also enjoyed photo areas, interactive animations, and a returning “noise meter” experience shown on the stadium screens.
After the game, a special 11-minute drone show lit up the sky, closing the event with animated scenes inspired by the series.
