Quick Answer

Fortnite's One Piece mini-season — Treasure Hunters — is live now, launched November 1, 2026 with update v43.00 after Chapter 7 Season 4 (Override) ended. The Battle Royale island is swapped for a smaller pirate map centered on rival pirate crews, with One Piece's Luffy, Nami and Usopp in the Item Shop at launch, Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin in the Battle Pass, and One Piece Mythic weapons (including Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit) in the loot pool. The season runs to the Chapter 7 finale event on December 5, with the Straw Hat crew arriving in waves through November — Zoro, Sanji and Chopper on November 7, Buggy on November 13.

Season Overview

All One Piece Skins and When to Get Them

Epic is splitting the Straw Hats across multiple releases — you cannot get the whole crew in one day:

The launch bundle (Luffy + Nami + Usopp with 4 Back Blings, 4 Pickaxes, an emote, a glider and a guitar) is estimated around 4,500 V-Bucks. Item Shop drops go live at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET after the November 1 DST change.

Battle Pass: What's Inside

Unlike 2025's full-collab passes (The Simpsons, Star Wars), the Treasure Hunters pass mixes two One Piece characters with Fortnite originals:

• Portgas D. Ace — One Piece
• Nico Robin — One Piece
• Anime Jonesy — Fortnite original, anime restyle
• Anime Cuddle Team Leader — Fortnite original restyle
• Anime Charlotte — a rare remix of the Chapter 2 Season 8 skin
• Captain X — new original character

If Ace or Robin is your priority, the Battle Pass is the only place to get them. Everyone else in the One Piece lineup is Item Shop only.

Gameplay: Pirate Crews and Mythics

Treasure Hunters restructures the mode around rival pirate crews, with weekly Captain's Day events (first on November 1 at 9 AM ET, continuing to the last on November 21) driving rotating challenges and loot changes. The loot pool evolves throughout November with One Piece Mythics — headlined by Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit — joining the normal weapon set. The map itself is the now-standard mini-season swap: a smaller, denser island built for the shortened season, with Crossbones Isle among the new POIs.

The November Content Roadmap

How to Start

1. Update Fortnite to v43.00 — the download follows the November 1 downtime (1 AM ET start).
2. Claim the Battle Pass — Ace and Robin are pass-exclusive; buy the pass first if they are your targets.
3. Check the Item Shop — the Luffy/Nami/Usopp bundle is live at launch; individual purchases are available if you only want one character.
4. Learn the new map — the pirate island is smaller than the standard Chapter 7 island; expect faster rotations and more early fights.
5. Play Captain's Day events — weekly events on the roadmap carry limited rewards and shape the mythic loot pool.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Waiting to buy the Straw Hats "all at once" — the crew is deliberately split across November 1, 7 and 13; bundles may not recur.
2. Skipping the Battle Pass for Robin or Ace — they are pass-exclusive and do not appear in the Item Shop during the season.
3. Missing Chopper on November 7 — he arrives as a Sidekick, not an outfit; a different purchase category entirely.
4. Playing before updating — the mini-season requires v43.00; older clients cannot queue into Treasure Hunters modes.
5. Ignoring Captain's Days — the November 21 final event is the last chance at that reward track within the season.
6. Assuming the map is permanent — mini-season islands are temporary; the Chapter 7 finale on December 5 transitions the game again.
7. Confusing the remixes — Anime Jonesy and Anime Cuddle Team Leader are pass restyles, not new collab characters.
