One Piece is written in chronological order, and as such, all you need to do is to read or watch it serially to follow the arcs in order.
One Piece is one of the best-selling manga of all time. Even after decades of airing, the story has not ended, and it has not lost its flair of thrilling adventures as each episode shows Monkey D Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew in intense combat. The fact is that the story is very far from coming to an end, as the adventures are yet to halt.
Synopsis of One Piece Anime
One Piece is an account of the life of Monkey D. Luffy, who leads a pirate crew in a quest to become the next Pirate King after the former king, Gold Roger, left behind the legendary “One Piece” treasure. Luffy’s quest to acquire One Piece kicked off when he ate the Devil Fruit as a child, which then gave him a rubber-like body. He sets sail and travels the Grand Line with the goal of finding the One Piece treasure in a bid to become King of the Pirates.
His journey takes him to unusual places where he encounters different challenges and meets a wide range of enemies and friends. Monkey D Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew’s adventure has spanned over a thousand episodes, and new fans may be wondering how to go about watching the manga series. But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with a list of the correct order you should watch the One Piece arcs.
List of All One Piece Arcs in Order
One Piece is split into major sagas with several sub-sagas. The sub-sagas include a collection of arcs that are divided based on the adventures of each of the islands Luffy and his crew visit. Once they arrive on a new island, a new arc begins. The moment they leave for another location, the current arc ends, and a new one begins.
The manga has over 1000 episodes and well over 50 arcs. With its volume, many fans might decide to skip some episodes, but then the plotline might get confusing due to the missing information from the skipped parts.
We have curated a complete list to guide you as you watch One Piece in the right order.
