Anime crossover fanart isn’t new, though the latest one to go viral is a series of fanart featuring the Straw Hat Crew of One Piece reimagined as Devil Hunters from Chainsaw Man.
Specifically, five artworks by @OPSpeedDrawing on Twitter went viral online, with the original post getting thousands of likes and retweets.
One Piece Fanart
Everywhere you look, there’s bound to be One Piece fanart, which is not surprising given how incredibly popular the series is.
Though in case you’re not a fan, One Piece is a manga series by Eiichiro Oda that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump back in 1997.
Since then, the series has become the best-selling manga of all time. It has spawned a massive media franchise featuring a long-running TV anime, 15 anime movies, and numerous video game adaptations.
While there are many fan artists creating works inspired by Oda’s series, One Piece Speed Drawing on Twitter recently began sharing interesting artworks, including characters reimagined as Seraphim.
Though their art of Chopper as Chainsaw Man’s Pochita was the one that got quite a bit of buzz, especially as it’s a crossover of two popular anime/manga.
What’s also interesting about their work is that, as their name implies, they release speed drawing videos of these artworks on YouTube.

Specifically, the artworks include Sanji as Denji, Nami as Power, Zoro as Aki Hayakawa, and Nico Robin as Makima.
While their faces and hair remain mostly unchanged from their original looks, these four Straw Hat Crew members don Public Safety suits.
If you’re on Twitter, you may have seen these get shared over the past week. Though these artworks went viral after being reshared by One Piece fan and news accounts.
Thankfully, many fans noticed the original creator’s works, and their post subsequently got traction as well.
