One Piece fans looking to taste their favorite anime are in for a treat.
Soranews24 shared a key visual featuring an edible version of One Piece's plant-inspired Devil Fruit, Hana Hana no Mi, in collaboration with Salon Bake & Tea in Tokyo and online bakery platform Cake.JP. The peachy dessert features symmetrical swirls of pink-dyed white chocolate cream topped with a tiny yellow swirl. Inside sits a layer of peach mousse over peach jelly wrapped in syrup, tucked on top of a bed of thick golden crust made from Échiré butter. The snack measures a diameter of 12 centimeters (4.72 inches).
The Hana Hana no Mi's tart sales commenced on July 22. Consumers who live in Japan can purchase the treat from Cake JP's website for 4,400 yen (around $32 USD). Other piraty selections include "cake cans" featuring Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji as well as Luffy and Nami-themed traditional cakes. Deliveries arrive at their destinations frozen, so buyers are advised to let the product thaw before digging in.
A Powerful Pirate
Having consumed the swirly pink Devil Fruit as a child, prodigy archeologist Nico Robin originally lent her powers to the antagonizing Sir Crocodiles' Baroque Works group under the alias Miss All-Sunday. After the fall of Baroque Works, Robin eventually joined Luffy's Straw Hat crew where she learned the true meaning of friendship. Robin's knowledge, on top of her devil fruit powers, proves invaluable as she is seemingly the only person in One Piece who can read the Rio Poneglyph -- the forbidden lost history of the world. Robin's maturity and willingness to do anything for her friends make her character a fan favorite.
Robin's Hana Hana No Mi isn't the first Devil Fruit to whet people's appetites. In May 2022, Cake JP introduced Luffy's Gum Gum Devil Fruit in a purple-coated, multi-layered cake form. The Gum Gum cake was sold across Japan for a massive 13,000 yen (about $100 USD), boasting high demand for the perishable collectible.
