One thing that is common between Monkey D Luffy and Luka Dončić is their leadership and their ability to believe in their teammates. Both hold firm beliefs which makes them obstinate. Their well-being is tied to their charisma which will only amp up their victory in the upcoming game.
In all seriousness, the LA Lakers are prepared to set the basketball court on fire with the latest collab with One Piece. This garnered various reactions and responses but that is not all. The Year 2025 is a kickstart to some of the iconic collaborations and fruitful projects for the One Piece franchise.
Monkey D Luffy and the Lakers prepare to sweep the floor
Monkey D Luffy isn’t a mere anime character for One Piece fans but an icon in every sense. His optimism and gung-ho attitude tie in well with his belief in his strength as well as others. The ability to stand up for others as well as oneself is a true marker of a leader which makes him a favorable captain.
By no means is Luffy a perfectionist which makes him more familiar and relatable. He has his fair share of failures and setbacks along with victories. This trait is what makes him similar to Luka Dončić, especially with his emotional side but he is all set to seize the win in the upcoming match.
With One Piece collaborating with the LA Lakers, it has fans going gaga over the merch on X.

The collab game is set to have exclusive apparel, and merchandise on the game night happening on 28th February. Truly it is a big win for the One Piece franchise and it is all set to offshoot with its upcoming collaborations in 2025 and we’re all here for it.
2025 is all about collaborations for One Piece
From theme parks to cafes One Piece has become a worldwide phenomenon of all sorts. This also fits perfectly with its crossovers and collaborations in the past few years. Other than the LA Lakers, Oda’s series previously partnered with the NFL team LA Rams but 2025 seems more eventful for the franchise.
This is particularly true for its upcoming licensed line of figurines and collectibles in partnership with Moose Toys and Netflix. From Monkey D Luffy to Roronoa Zoro, the collection will feature each straw hat from the series but that is not all.
Last month the series got its own Base App that has the whole manga translated. The franchise also did a huge collab with Lego for exclusive sets and minifigures that feature the scenes from the live-action series. It is a truly unique concept in itself but it makes one thing certain.
Monkey D Luffy’s impact on culture and society isn’t something that can be erased in a day or two. Oda’s manga has influenced millions of readers worldwide and the collaborations are merely a fraction of it. The series’ popularity and relevance aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
One Piece is available for streaming on Netflix. The manga is available for reading on Shueisha’s Manga Plus app.
