About One Piece: A Global Anime Phenomenon
One Piece is based on the manga by Eiichiro Oda, which has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997. The story follows Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who gains rubber-like powers after eating a Devil Fruit. Inspired by his idol, the pirate Red-Haired Shanks, Luffy sets sail to become the King of the Pirates.
Along the way, he forms the legendary Straw Hat Pirates, a diverse crew united by friendship, dreams, and unwavering loyalty.
The TV anime adaptation began airing in 1999 and has now been running for over 25 years, making it one of the longest-running and most beloved anime series of all time
