ONE PIECE’s Origin
The heart of ONE PIECE lies in its origin - Eiichiro Oda’s groundbreaking manga, first published in 1997, and its beloved anime counterpart with over 1,100 episodes (and counting). This anime empire kicked off with one spark: Pirate King Gold Roger’s final words. Before losing his head, he revealed the existence of the “One Piece,” the greatest treasure in the world - and just like that, the Great Pirate Era was born. Cue Monkey D. Luffy: a rubber-bodied optimist with a knack for finding trouble and loyal crewmates. Together, the Straw Hats chase adventure, fight enemies, and navigate wild seas - all for the dream of becoming King of the Pirates.
