“My treasure? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Go look for it. I left it all in one place.”
Gol D. Roger
One Piece is the story of straw-hat pirates that comes from the pre-established dynamic of different characters. It brings exciting and fresh adventures along with peculiar twists with each new story arc.
The story is ever-changing while maintaining a streamlined flow with which we gradually inch towards the end of the series. For now, there is no sign of the series coming to an absolute halt.

The One Piece anime started airing in 1999, making the show over 20 years old. The series has been producing content consistently and, as a result, has 20 seasons with 927 episodes. The series is so long that it would take over 15 days of continuous binge-watching to finish it. If you’re stuck in quarantine, One Piece is the perfect anime for you!

4. Conclusion
One Piece has a very straight-forward timeline and hence should be watched in its release order. One Piece has about 11% fillers all of which are really entertaining, but they’re optional and can be skipped. The movies, specials, OVAs, and shorts can be watched at any time because they don’t follow the storyline of the main anime and hence spoil nothing.
About One Piece
One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.
The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!
Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
