One Piece: The king of anime?

Although the anime industry has hundreds and hundreds of titles, it should be noted that there are a few that despite the years, are still at the forefront when it comes to popularity and we have many examples, some of these being Naruto, Dragon Ball y of course, our protagonist today, One Piece, considered one of the most long-lived works of all times and it is not for less, since it has more than 1000 episodes broadcasted and counting. That is why we will now give you a summary of all that the king of pirates has to offer, or should we say the king of anime?

One Piece: Synopsis

One Piece tells the story of its protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, also known as Luffy who at the beginning of this adventure is 17 years old, having quite clear what his goal in life is, to become the king of pirates and for this, he takes inspiration from the only pirate who once held that title, Goal D. Roger.

Becoming the king of pirates is, to say the least, a titanic task and our protagonist must face countless enemies to achieve his goal and to do so, he has a particular power and that is that his body has the properties of rubber and all that this entails.

It can stretch impressively, resists electricity and can withstand a relentless amount of blows, so it is emerging as a difficult opponent to beat and the above has been more than proven by seeing all the battles that straw hat (Luffy) has won.

The power of the rubber boy has its origin in one of the most original ideas that has been presented to date, since it has its roots in the well-known fruits of the devil, the name given to the object that endows its consumer with unique powers.

These devil fruits have very peculiar shapes and to obtain their strength, the only thing you have to do is to eat them and after that, the user will obtain the power of the fruit, but do not be fooled by this, because with this great power comes a great restriction, which prevents the user from swimming, a considerable problem for pirates who are always exposed to the sea.

In the case of the straw hat, the fruit it ate was the Gomu Gomu no mi, which provides the powers of the rubber, but as expected, there are dozens and dozens of other fruits with even more particular powers and that undoubtedly attract the attention of viewers.

Throughout the plot, our protagonist is in charge of forming his own crew, getting members who join as the story progresses and consequently, he becomes the captain of the crew.

In order for our protagonist to be considered the king, he must obtain the treasure most sought after by all pirates and it is the One Piece, which was concealed by Goal D. Roger in the past and that at present, their whereabouts are unknown.

Straw hat and his nakamas, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Nami and company, they will have to sail the oceans and cross dangerous areas such as the red line, extravagant places such as the country of Wano and defeat emblematic adversaries such as katakuri and Caesar Clown.

Eiichiro Oda, Luffy's father

The anime of One Piece is based on the work of the same name written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, who managed to serialize his manga with the Shonen Jump the July 22, 1997 and to date, it continues to be published, so it has been published for 25 years, a whole generation.

One Piece is the best-selling manga from the publisher of Shueisha, owners of the Shonen Jump and currently has some 516 million copies sold worldwide, which has even given it a Guinness World Record to the manga with the most publications by a single author, reaching the 1074 chapters.

What is the One Piece?

The greatest mystery of the entire work is undoubtedly the One Piece, an unimaginable treasure that has given rise to the most convoluted theories to be able to find it and, until now, the author has hidden very well what it is about.

Some users have commented that it is not about any physical treasure and is more a lesson of life and love, values that the protagonists strengthen throughout their story, but this was ruled out by the mangaka himself, who also clarified that it is not about any monetary reward and therefore remains the biggest mystery.

When will the pirates' adventure come to an end?

After 25 years of publication, we have one of the most long-lived manga and it is not for less, since 25 years is a whole generation that practically, have grown up with the adventures of Luffy and company, but this same virtue has also generated a great question that arouses everyone's curiosity on the same level as the One Piece and when is it going to end?

For the time being, it is impossible to give an exact date given the nature of the story, but the author himself, at the end of the battle of Luffy vs Kaido, revealed that we would already be starting the final arc of the work, but there is no need to be alarmed, and although he did not give a pre-established number of chapters, many believe that Oda will take at least another 4 or 5 years to fully develop the ending, so we are talking about the year 2027 or 2028 as the possible end.

With so many episodes, is One Piece worth watching?

For all shonen lovers, One Piece is, without a doubt, a must-see that you won't want to miss, as it has everything a story should have. Action, comedy, tension, romance, heroism, friendship and good values. A combination that has turned both the plot and its characters into the most beloved in the industry. In conclusion, it is worth seeing One Piece despite the time it has been on the air.
