One Piece challenges you to become the most muscular Luffy

If you ever thought that becoming the King of the Pirates only required an unbreakable will and a group of loyal nakamas, think again. In Tokyo, One Piece Fitness BragMen, a themed gym based on Eiichiro Oda's masterpiece, has just launched a challenge that will test both your passion for anime and your ability to build a physique worthy of the series' protagonist.

The One Piece Body Make Contest is not just a strength competition, but a test to see who can transform into the best fitness version of Monkey D. Luffy. And having muscles isn't enough: attitude, iconic poses, and, of course, the unmistakable look of the Straw Hat captain also count here.

Not just muscles, but also pirate spirit

Unlike other bodybuilding tournaments, this contest seeks more than defined bodies. The judges—including fitness experts, the gym team, and representatives from Weekly Shonen Jump—will evaluate not only your muscle mass, but also how accurately you recreate Luffy. From the confident smile to the classic denim shorts and the essential straw hat, every detail earns points.

And the most iconic poses from the anime and manga couldn't be missing. To stand out in the competition, you'll need to master moves like Gear 2, where Luffy takes his combat stance with his body glowing red-hot, and the Gum-Gum Gatling, where he unleashes a barrage of punches at supersonic speed.

How to join the strongest crew?

To enter the competition, participants must submit six photos showing their physical progress and their best pirate poses. If you manage to impress the judges, you'll earn a pass to the grand final, which will be held on June 1 in Kawasaki.

But here's the best part: finalists will be able to train for free at the gym until May 31, allowing them to fine-tune their physique and arrive at the competition with a body worthy of the Grand Line.

Ready to become the most imposing Luffy of the Seven Seas?

If you've always dreamed of having a physique on par with the strongest pirates in One Piece, this is your chance. Beyond the muscles, it's about proving you have the spirit of a true Grand Line warrior.

Sharpen those abs, perfect your battle pose, and get ready to prove you can be the most unstoppable Luffy of the seas. The One Piece treasure of fitness is waiting for you!
