With its account of adventure, camaraderie, and independence, One Piece has enthralled millions of people since 1997.  Designed by Eiichiro Oda, this epic manga and anime series centres Monkey D.

The World of One Piece (Setting the Stage)

The story unfolds in a world dominated by oceans, where pirates, marines, and revolutionaries clash. The Great Pirate Era began when Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, announced before his execution that his treasure, the One Piece, was hidden at the end of the Grand Line. This declaration inspired countless adventurers, including our protagonist, Luffy, a rubber-bodied teenager aiming to claim the title of Pirate King.
