One Piece

One Piece (ワンピース) is a Japanese shōnen manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, that has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump.

The series begins with the execution of Gol D. Roger, the King of the Pirates. Before his death, he told the legend of his treasure, the One Piece. Roger's death caused a Great Age of Pirates as countless pirates set out to look for his treasure.

Twenty years have passed since Gol D. Roger's execution, and Monkey D. Luffy, a young boy inspired by the pirate known as "Red-Haired" Shanks, sets off on a journey from the East Blue to be the next King of the Pirates and find the treasure.

Along the way, he organizes and leads a crew named the Straw Hat Pirates. The crew consists of a swordsman and first mate named Roronoa Zoro; the navigator and thief Nami; the liar and cowardly sharpshooter Usopp; the womanizing chef Sanji; the doctor Tony Tony Chopper, an anthropomorphized deer; the archaeologist Nico Robin, a former villain; the cybernetic shipwright Franky; and a musician skeleton named Brook.

The crew encounters divers

e villains such as the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Marines. They encounter Baroque Works, the crime syndicate responsible for a civil war in Alabasta, and meets Blackbeard, whose dream is also to become the King of the Pirates. The crew also encounters Eneru, a ruler of Skypiea. Later, the crew meets Aokiji, who reveals to him that Nico Robin was involved in reading Poneglyphs left by Roger. The crew also encounters Cipher Pol No. 9, the intelligence agency responsible for the destruction of Robin's homeland, whose actions cause them to declare war on the World Government. After an epic battle at Enies Lobby, the crew defeats CP9, avenging the lives of people lost in the destruction, and receives bounties on their heads.

Later, the crew completes their journey to the first half of the Grand Line. Luffy, after being separated from his crew, finds that his adopted brother Portgas D. Ace is to be executed. The Marines hold a war against a group of pirates led by Whitebeard. Luffy rescues Ace, but both Whitebeard and

Ace are killed in the ensuing chaos. After the epic battle on Marineford, Luffy and the crew undergo rigorous training regimens, some under the tutelage of prominent figures. Two years later, the crew regroups and set out on a journey to the New World, the second half of the Grand Line. They travel first to Fishman Island, where they are drawn into a hostile takeover by a group of fishmen from the former Sunny Pirates.
