Yoshida toured the store before the public opening and tried a display that projects the character from a picked-up wanted poster onto the wall. He described the store as offering an experience different from the Mugiwara Stores so far.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"ONE PIECE MUGIWARA STORE Los Angeles stocks items sold only there, which turns a licensed merch outlet into a reason to visit in person.
