One Piece Anime Plot

Welcome back to my 2nd part of my One Piece Anime post - the Plot!


The series begins with the execution of Gold D. Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates.

any minute now..

Atleast his figurine is cool

Just before his death, Roger announces that he put all his treasures in the Grand Line 
( literally translated as Great Sea Route, said to be the most dangerous place in the world – commonly referred to as the Pirates’ Graveyard ), 
including his most prized treasure, the One Piece , will be up for the taking.

As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure, causing the
Great Pirate Era to begin

The true nature of the treasure One Piece is shrouded in mystery, it is said that only the writer / creator  Eiichiro Oda knows what it is. 

Twenty-two years have passed since Roger's execution, and Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate inspired by "Red-Haired" Shanks, has since set off on a journey from the East Blue
to succeed Roger and find the treasure.

thus the future King of Pirates is born..

Luffy organizes and leads a nine-member crew named the Straw Hat Pirates. Each crew member Luffy encounters eventually become his close friends, including the swordsman Roronoa Zoro, the navigator and thief Nami, the sniper Usopp, the womanizing chef and martial artist Sanji, the doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer Tony Tony Chopper,
the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cybernetic shipwright Franky, and the musician skeleton Brook.

The crew crosses paths with diverse villains, such as Buggy the Clown, many of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy, who place bounties on Luffy's, Zoro's, and eventually the rest of the crew's heads, and Arlong, a fishman and member of the former Sun Pirates.

Arlong - half man, half shark, all badass

They encounter Baroque Works, the crime syndicate responsible for a civil war in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, along with fellow pirate Blackbeard, whose dream is also to become the King of the Pirates. The crew also confronts Eneru, the ruler of the floating island Skypiea. Later, the crew meets the navy admiral Aokiji, who reveals that Robin was involved in searching for Poneglyphs, stones with markings left by an ancient civilization.


The crew also encounters Cipher Pol No. 9, the intelligence agency responsible for the destruction of Robin's homeland, who causes the pirates to declare war on the World Government. After an epic battle at Enies Lobby, the crew defeats CP9 - saving Robin and avenging the lives lost in the destruction.

Some time later, the crew prepares to sail off to the New World, the second half of the Grand Line.  The crew eventually gets separated during a battle at the Sabaody Archipelago. 


At the same time, the navy sentences Luffy's older brother and Gold Roger's son Portgas D. Ace to be executed, and hold a war against a group of pirates led by Whitebeard.

Ace got a cooler hat than Luffy

Whitebeard - coz White Pointy Moustache Man is not as catchy

Later, Luffy and the crew undergo rigorous training regimens, some under the tutelage of prominent figures. Two years later, the crew regroups and journeys to Fishman Island to enter the New World. At the same time, a group of evil fishman pirates appear, and holds a coup d'état to decide the fate of the island, but are eventually defeated by the Straw Hats alongside Jimbei. 


The Straw Hats leave Fishman Island and finally reach the New World, but not before starting a feud with the legendary pirate Big Mom. Their first destination is the burning island Punk Hazard.
