Key visual of the Zou anime arc was announced in June, along with One Piece opening 19. The colored key visual features Straw Hat pirates in their Zou outfits, Cat Viper (also known as Nekomamushi), Dogstorm (also known as Inuarashi), Wanda, Carrot, and the Wano trio. Also, the key visual subtly includes Zunesha in the background.
