One Piece (ワンピース, Wan Pīsu) is a long-running shōnen manga written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda, that has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since August 4, 1997. The individual chapters are being published in tankōbon volumes by Shueisha, with the first released on December 24, 1997 and 54 volumes released as of June 7, 2009. One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy, who gained supernatural abilities by eating a magical fruit, and his ragtag crew of heroic pirates, named the Straw Hats. Luffy's greatest ambition is to obtain the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece, and thereby become the next King of the Pirates. When creating the series, Oda was heavily influenced by the manga Dragon Ball.
One Piece is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media. The individual chapters are being serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump manga anthology and being published in tankōbon volumes. In the United Kingdom, the series was being released by Gollancz Manga, it is now released by Viz Media along with all of their other manga previously released by Gollancz Manga. Madman Entertainment is releasing the series in Australia and New Zealand.
The series was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced in 1998 by Production I.G. It was later adapted into a full anime series by Toei Animation that premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on October 20, 1999. Since then, the still ongoing series has aired more than four hundred episodes. The anime series was licensed for a heavily edited English dubbed broadcast in North America by 4Kids Entertainment. It has since been licensed for a full Region 1 DVD release and broadcast by Funimation Entertainment in its original and uncut form. In addition to the anime series and OVA, One Piece has been adapted into nine feature films by Toei and multiple video games based on the series have been released.
With over 158 million copies sold, One Piece is now the highest selling manga in the history of Weekly Shōnen Jump.[2] It is considered their most acclaimed and all-time best-selling title in Japan.
Plot
A boy named Monkey D. Luffy, inspired by his childhood hero "Red-Haired" Shanks, sets out on a journey to find One Piece, the legendary treasure of the Pirate King, Gold Roger. To accomplish this, he must reach the end of the most deadly and dangerous ocean: The Grand Line.
Luffy captains the Straw Hat Pirates first through the sea of East Blue and then through the Grand Line. He follows the path of the deceased Pirate King, Gold Roger, from island to island on his way to the great treasure One Piece. On his way his crew grows to have a swordsman, a navigator, a sniper, a cook, a doctor, an archaeologist, a shipwright, and a musician.Luffy finds one piece and learns that it is a test of nakama.
During the course of the story, the crew contend with both other less moral pirate crews and the Navy. The latter are the subordinates of the World Government, who apparently seek justice by ending the Golden Age of Pirates. Many background story elements involve the delicate balance of power between the World Government and the world's most powerful pirate crews.
Setting
The fictional world of One Piece is covered by two vast oceans, which are divided by a massive mountain range called Red Line (レッドライン).[3] The Grand Line (偉大なる航路, Gurando Rain), a sea that runs perpendicular to the Red Line, further divides them into four seas: North Blue, East Blue, West Blue and South Blue.[4] Surrounding the Grand line are two regions called calm belts (カームベルト), which experience almost no wind and ocean currents and are breeding ground for the huge sea creatures called error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help), because of which the calm belts are very effective barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line.[5] While the navy ships, using sea stone to mask their presence, can simply pass through,[6] most have to use the canal system of Reverse Mountain (リヴァースマウンテン), a mountain at the first intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Line. Sea water from each of the four seas runs up that mountain and merges at the top to flow down a fifth canal and into the first half of the Grand Line.[7] The second half of the Grand Line, beyond the second intersection with the Red Line, is also known as the New World.[8]

The currents and weather on the Grand Line's open sea are extremely unpredictable, while as in the vicinity of islands the climate is stable.[9] What makes it even harder to navigate is the fact that normal compasses do not work there.[10] A special compass called a log pose must be used.[11] The log pose works by locking on to one island's magnetic field and then locking on to another island's magnetic field.[12] The time for it to set depends on the island.[13] This process can be bypassed by obtaining an eternal pose, a log pose variation that is permanently set to a specific island and never changes.[14]
The world of One Piece is filled with anachronisms, like the transponder snails (電伝虫, den den mushi, lit. electric transmission bug), snail-like animals that can be attached to electric equipment and function as rotary phones, fax machines, surveillance cameras, and similar devices.[citation needed] Dials (ダイアル), the shells of certain sky-dwelling animals can be used to store wind, sound, images, heat, and the like and have various applications.[15]
Devil fruit (悪魔の実, akuma no mi, "cursed fruit" in the 4Kids dub) are a type of fruit which when eaten confer a power on the eater.[16] There are three categories of devil fruit.[17] Zoan fruits allow the user to fully and partially transform into a specific animal.[18] Logia fruits give control over and allow the user "to change their living body structure into the powers of nature".[19] error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help) is a catch-all category for fruits that give the user superhuman abilities.[20] Devil fruit users cannot swim.[21] When even partially submerged in water, they lose all of their strength and powers.[22]
Production
One Piece started as two one-shot stories entitled Romance Dawn[23]—which would later be used as the title for One Piece's first chapter and volume. The two one-shots featured the character of Luffy, and included elements that would later appear in the main series. The first of these short stories was published in August 1996 in a special issue of Shōnen Jump and later in One Piece Red. The second was published in the 41st issue of Shōnen Jump in 1996 and reprinted 1998 in Oda's short story collection, Wanted!.[24]
Oda originally planned One Piece to last five years, and he had already planned out the ending, but he found himself enjoying the story too much to end it in that amount of time and now has no idea how long it will take to reach that point.[25] Nevertheless, the author states, as of July 2007, that the ending will still be the one he had decided on from the beginning and he is committed to seeing it through to the end, no matter how many years it takes.[26]
The names of many special attacks and other concepts in the manga consist of a form of punning, in which phrases written in kanji are paired with an idiosyncratic reading. The names of Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Franky's techniques are often mixed with other languages, and the names of a number of Zoro's sword techniques are designed as jokes; for example, some of them look fearsome when read by sight but sound like kinds of food when read aloud. Eisaku Inoue, the animation director, has said that the creators did not use these kanji readings in the anime since they "might have cut down the laughs by about half."[27] Nevertheless, Konosuke Uda, the director, said that he believes that the creators "made the anime pretty close to the manga."[27]
Media
Manga
Written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda, One Piece premiered in the August 4, 1997 issue Weekly Shōnen Jump, where it continues serialization. In total, 546 chapters have been released in Japan as of June 7, 2009. As of June 7, 2009, the first 532[citation needed] of those chapters have been compiled into 54 tankōbon volumes in Japan by Shueisha,[28] with the first volume released December 24, 1997.[29]
The series is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media.[30] The creator of One Piece was "sensitive" about how it would be translated.[31] On July 8, 2002 ICv2 reported that One Piece would be in the opening line-up of the Shonen Jump magazine.[32] When its first issue was released in November 2002, so was the first chapter of One Piece.[33] The magazine has been publishing successive chapters ever since. The first volume was released by Viz in June 2003.[34] As of February 3, 2009, 20 volumes have been published.[35] And an upcoming 21st volume is scheduled for June 3, 2009.[36] The English volumes are being distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment, with the first volume to be released on November 10, 2008.[37] In the United Kingdom it was published by Gollancz Manga.[38] Currently it is published there by Viz.[39] One Piece is published in Denmark and Germany by Carlsen Comics[40][41] and by Bonnier Carlsen in Sweden.[42] Elex Media Komputindo publishes the manga in Indonesia.[citation needed]. NXB Kim Dong publishes the manga One Piece in Vietnam.[citation needed]
Anime
Produced by Toei Animation, the One Piece anime series debuted in Japan on Fuji Television on October 20, 1999. Since then, the still ongoing series has aired more than four hundred episodes.
4Kids Entertainment licensed the series for an English language dubbed broadcast and release in North America. The 4Kids episodes aired in the United States on the Fox network as part of the Fox Box block, premiering on September 18, 2004. The first 143 episodes of the original were cut down to 104 in the dubbed version. The remaining content was subject to heavy editing. Sanji's cigarettes for example were turned into lollipops,[43] and "the skin of a black pirate was changed to a tan mulatto / white color."[44] In December 2006, 4Kids cancelled production of the dubbed version.[45]
On April 12, 2007, Funimation Entertainment announced it acquired the license for the series. After producing a new English voice dub, the company released its first unedited, bilingual DVD box set, containing 13 episodes, on May 27, 2008.[46] Similarly sized sets followed with two sets released as of September 16, 2008.[47] The Funimation English dubbed episodes premiered on the Cartoon Network on September 29, 2007 and aired until it was cancelled on March 29, 2008.[48] The remainder of Funimation's dubbed episodes continued being aired on Australia's Cartoon Network, and then shifted into reruns of the Funimation dub before being replaced by Dragon Ball Z. Funimation began streaming English dubbed episodes as well as subbed episodes on their website, onepieceofficial.com. New episodes were to be streamed an hour after their original airing in Japan, though this has been placed on hold until security issues can be resolved.[49]
In Singapore, the anime is licensed by Odex, who produced an English dub which lasted 104 episodes. It was produced in two 52-episode seasons, with some of the original actors leaving in between seasons.[citation needed]
In the July 2008 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump, it was announced that the prototype one-shot that preceded One Piece, Romance Dawn, is being adapted into an anime OVA as part of the Jump Super Anime Tour.[24][50][51]
The North American anime distributor Funimation, the Japanese studio Toei Animation, the Japanese publisher Shueisha, and the Japanese broadcaster Fuji Television Network had announced that they would simulcast stream the One Piece pirate anime series within an hour of the weekly Japanese broadcast. The free, English-subtitled simulcast was set to start on Saturday, May 30 at 9:00 p.m. CDT with episode #403 on www.onepieceofficial.com, followed soon thereafter by Funimation's partner sites.[52] However a security breach resulted in a leak of episode #403 leading to FUNimation to terminate the offer for the foreseeable future.[53]
Films
Since the debut of the series on television, Toei Animation has also produced nine One Piece feature films, traditionally released during the Japanese school spring break since 2000.[54]. Although the first three films were less than an hour long and played as part of a double-bill with other anime movies.[citation needed] The films feature self-contained, completely original plots with animation of higher quality than what the weekly anime allows for.
Additionally, three of these movies have had special featurette shorts, showcasing the characters engaged in various activities unrelated to the series. They were shown dancing in Jango's Dance Carnival with Clockwork Island Adventure; playing soccer in Dream Soccer King! with Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals; and playing baseball in Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King with Curse of the Sacred Sword.[citation needed]
The first, third, and ninth films were directed by Atsuji Shimizu. The fourth and seventh films were directed by Kōnosuke Uda. The fifth film was directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi. The sixth film was directed by Mamoru Hosoda. The eighth film was directed by Takahiro Imamura.[citation needed]
Music
A number of musical CDs have been created. Various theme songs and character songs were released on a total of 49 singles. Many of them were also released in collected form on the six compilation albums or the 16 soundtrack CDs, along with background music from the TV anime, the series' feature films, and video games.
Video games
One Piece has been adapted into a whole series of video games published by subsidiaries of Namco Bandai Holdings. The games have been released on a variety of video game and handheld consoles. The series features various genres, mostly role-playing games—the predominant type in the series' early years—and fighting games, such as the titles of the Grand Battle! sub-series.
The series debuted in Japan on July 19, 2000 with One Piece: Mezase Kaizoku Ou!.[55] At the moment, the series contains 27 games, not counting Battle Stadium D.O.N, the title One Piece shares with its related anime series Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. Furthermore, two unnamed titles have been announced for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable handheld consoles.[56][57]
Light novels
A series of light novels was published based on the first OVA, certain episodes of the TV anime, and all but the first feature film. They featured art work by Oda and are written by Tatsuya Hamasaki. The first of these novels, One Piece: Defeat The Pirate Ganzak! (One Piece 倒せ! 海賊ギャンザック, Wan Pīsu: Taose! Kaizoku Ganzakku), based on the OVA, was released on June 3, 1999.[58] On July 17, 2000, followed One Piece: Lougetown Chapter (One Piece ローグタウン編, Wan Pīsu: Rogutaun-hen), a light novel adaptation of the TV anime's Lougetown story arc.[59] The first feature film to be adapted was Clockwork Island Adventure.[60] The book was released on March 19, 2001. On December 25, 2001, followed the second and so far last light novel adaptation of a TV anime arc in One Piece: Thousand-year Dragon Legend (One Piece 千年竜伝説, Wan Pīsu: Sen-toshi Ryu Densetsu).[61] The adaptation of Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals was released on March 22, 2002, and that of Dead End Adventure on March 10, 2003.[62][63] Curse of the Sacred Sword followed on March 22, 2004, and Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island on March 14, 2005.[64][65] The light novel of The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle was released on March 6, 2006 and that of Episode of Alabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates on March 7, 2007.[66][67] The newest novel adapts Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura and was released on February 25, 2008.[68]

In that survey, the four One Piece volumes published that year, volumes 49, 50, 51, and 52, placed first with an approval rating of 45.9%.[78] In ICv2's list of "Top 25 Manga Properties Fall 2008", One Piece made a 15th place.[80]
The manga was a finalist for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize three times in a row from 2000 to 2002,[81][82][83] with the highest number of fan nominations in the first two years.[84] And the German translation of its 44th volume won the Sondermann audience award on the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2005.[85] In a 2008 poll by Oricon, Japanese teenagers elected it the most interesting manga.[86]
The first opening of the TV anime, "We Are!" (ウィーアー!), won the Animation Kobe Theme Song Award of the year 2000.[87] In February 2001, One Piece placed 9th among TV anime in Japan.[88] In 2001, the readers of Animage, a popular Japanese anime magazine, voted the TV anime in 5th place of "The Readers' Picks for the Anime that should be remembered in the 21st Century".[89] In June 2002, the Animage readers voted One Piece to be the 16th best new anime of the year 2001,[90] and gave it another 16th place in 2004 in the category "Favorite Anime Series".[91] In a 2005 web poll by Japanese television network TV Asahi One Piece was voted 6th "most popular animated TV series".[92] Before the poll, Asahi TV broadcast another list based on a nation-wide survey in which One Piece placed 4th among teenagers.[93] In 2006, it was elected 32nd of the Top 100 Japanese anime by TV Asahi and 21st by its viewers.[94][95] In September of the same year the Newtype magazine placed it 5th.[96] It was the most downloaded TV torrent for the week ending July 7, 2008.[97] Funimation's first DVD release of the series "One Piece: Season 1 First Voyage" was nominated for the Fifth Annual TV DVD Awards.[98]
In Indonesia, Global TV was reprimanded by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) for airing the TV anime. Nina Armando, member of the KPI and lecturer at the University of Indonesia, said the show should not be aired at times when children are likely to watch.[99]
Anime News Network comments that the art style of the One Piece manga requires "time to get used to" with its "very simple" artwork and its designs, which appear "very cartoonish" at first. They also note that the influence of Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) shines through in Oda's style of writing with its "huge [sic] epic battles punctuated by a lot of humor" and that, in One Piece, he creates a "rich tale" without focusing too much on plot.[100] Active Anime describes the art work in One Piece as "wonderfully quirky and full of expression".[101] Splashcomics comments that Oda's "pleasantly bright and dynamic" (German: "angenehm hell und dynamisch") art style suits the story's "funny and exciting" (German: "witzigen und ... spannenden") atmosphere.[102] EX lauds Oda's art for its "crispy" monochrome pictures, "great use of subtle shade changes" on color pages, "sometimes exquisite" use of angles, and for its consistency.[103]
In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, DVD talk called the company's adaptation a "shabby treatment" resulting in an "arguably less enjoyable rendition". They said that the 4Kids original opening was "a crappy rap song" and that the removal of whole scenes leaves a "feeling that something is missing". The went on to say that "Fans of the 'real' One Piece will want to skip picking [...] up [4Kids Entertainment's One Piece DVDs] until an uncut release is announced", but they also stated that "kids may get into this version because it's what they have seen on TV."[104] Active Anime praised the TV series' "great" animation, stating that "It gives life and stays true to the style and characters of the manga." and noting the fight scenes in particular as having "a lot of energy to them".[105] Animefringe comments that the art style of One Piece is "very distinctive and fresh".[106]
