One Piece

## One Piece *One Piece* is the best-selling manga and one of the longest-running anime of all time, a swashbuckling adventure epic unlike any other. In a world covered mostly by ocean, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed after declaring that his legendary treasure — the One Piece — awaits anyone who can find it. This sparked the Great Age of Pirates. A young boy named Monkey D. Luffy eats a Devil Fruit that gives his body the properties of rubber, but costs him the ability to swim. Undeterred, Luffy sets sail to become the next Pirate King, assembling a crew of misfits and dreamers — the Straw Hat Pirates — along the way. Together they traverse the Grand Line, facing powerful enemies, uncovering world-shaking conspiracies, and chasing a freedom that means something different to each of them. As of April 2026, the anime has adopted a seasonal broadcast format — Season 22 premiered April 5, 2026, with a max of 26 episodes per year — entering the Elbaph arc as the series races toward its endgame.
