The world of ''One Piece'' is populated by humans and numerous other races such as "]" (a race of fish/human hybrids, similar to ] and ]s), dwarves, Minkmen (a race of humanoid animals), and ]. It is covered by two vast oceans, which are divided by a massive mountain range called the {{nihongo|Red Line|{{ruby|赤い土の大陸|レッドライン}}|Reddo Rain}}, which is also the only continent in the world.<ref>{{cite book|publisher=]|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|chapter=ヤルキマン·マングローブ|series=One Piece|volume=51|script-title=ja:]|isbn=978-4-08-874563-3|date=September 2008|language=Japanese}}</ref> The {{nihongo4|Grand Line|{{ruby|偉大なる航路|グランドライン}}|Gurando Rain}}, a sea that runs perpendicular to the Red Line, further divides them into four seas: {{nihongo4|North Blue|{{ruby|北の海|ノースブルー}}|Nōsu Burū}}, {{nihongo4|East Blue|{{ruby|東の海|イーストブルー}}|Īsuto Burū}}, {{nihongo4|West Blue|{{ruby|西の海|ウェストブルー}}|Uesuto Burū}} and {{nihongo4|South Blue|{{ruby|南の海|サウスブルー}}|Sausu Burū}}.<ref>{{cite book|publisher=]|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|chapter=リヴァースマウンテン|page=36|series=One Piece|volume=12|script-title=ja:]|isbn=4-08-872822-X|date=February 2000|language=Japanese}}</ref> Surrounding the Grand Line are two regions called {{nihongo4|Calm Belts|{{ruby|凪の帯|カームベルト}}|kāmu beruto}}, similar to ], which experience almost no wind and ocean currents and are breeding ground for huge sea creatures called {{nihongo4|neptunians|海王類|kaiōrui|lit.

====Devil Fruits====
{{anchor|Devil Fruit|Zoan|Paramecia|Logia}}A {{nihongo4|Devil Fruit|悪魔の実|Akuma no Mi}} is a type of fruit that, when eaten, confers a power on to the consumer.<ref>{{cite book|publisher=Shueisha|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|chapter=悪魔の実|series=One Piece|volume=3|script-title=ja:]|isbn=4-08-872569-7|date=June 1998|language=Japanese}}</ref> There are three categories of Devil Fruits;<ref name="Oda 86">{{cite book|publisher=Shueisha|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|page=86|series=One Piece|volume=30|script-title=ja:]|isbn=4-08-873502-1|date=October 2003|language=Japanese}}</ref> {{nihongo4|Zoan|{{ruby|動物系|ゾオン}}|Zoon}} fruits allow the user to fully and partially transform into a specific animal; as well as real-life animals.

When even partially submerged in sea water, they lose all of their strength and coordination, although some abilities remain, such as Luffy still being able to stretch after being totally submerged. "Moving" water, such as rain or waves, does not have this effect. When a Devil Fruit user dies, the powers will be reincarnated into a new Devil Fruit. Devil Fruit powers can be in a stage called "Awakened", where the user can turn anything around them, besides their own bodies, into what their Devil Fruit power is.<ref>{{cite book|publisher=Shueisha|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|chapter=解放|page=177|series=One Piece|volume=19|script-title=ja:]|isbn=4-08-873133-6|date=July 2001|language=Japanese}}</ref>

====Haki====
{{nihongo|Haki|覇気||lit. "Ambition"}} is a latent ability that even though every living being in the world of ''One Piece'' possesses, very few manage to awaken it and even fewer master it. There are three varieties of Haki: {{nihongo4|Color of Observation or Mantra|見聞色の覇気|Kenbunshoku no Haki| or Bakayarou no Haki}} allows to sense the presence of other beings and also to have a form of limited precognition (in combat this is a great advantage because the user can foresee his opponent's attacks). {{nihongo4|Color of Armament|武装色の覇気|Busōshoku no Haki}} allows one to envelop body parts and even inanimate forms with a force akin to an invisible armor that possesses defensive and offensive properties, also allowing one to inflict harm upon Devil Fruit users. The rare {{nihongo4|Color of the Conquering King|覇王色の覇気|Haōshoku no Haki}} is an ability that unlike the other two Haki, only a few gifted people have (if a person is not gifted then no matter how much he trains he will never be able to use it). The Color of the Conquering King enables one to overpower the will of the weak-willed. It can be used to mind-control or even render the victim unconscious. Note that strong willed people can withstand or even completely ignore the effects of this Haki, even if they don't possess this ability themselves. This Haki can also have physical impacts, such as causing tremors and destruction to the user's surrounding area.<ref>{{cite book|title=3D2Y|publisher=Shueisha|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|chapter=597|pages=12–15|series=One Piece|volume=61}}</ref> Haki is shown that when it's used too much, it will stop working for certain periods of time.

===Plot===
{{see also|List of One Piece characters}}
<!-- Note, as the manga is the PRIMARY work, this plot summary should be written for the manga, not the anime. -->
The series begins with the execution of ], a man known as the {{nihongo|King of the Pirates|海賊王|Kaizokuō}}. Just before his death, Roger announces that his treasure, the {{nihongo|One Piece|{{ruby|ひとつなぎの大秘宝|ワンピース}}|Wan Pīsu}}, will be available to anyone who finds it, beginning the {{nihongo|Great Pirate Era|大海賊時代|Dai Kaizoku Jidai}}. As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure.

Twenty-two years later, ], a young man inspired by his childhood idol and powerful pirate ], sets off on a journey from the East Blue sea to find the One Piece and proclaim himself as the King of the Pirates. In an effort to organize his own crew, the {{nihongo|]|麦わら海賊団篇|Mugiwara Kaizoku-dan}}, Luffy rescues and befriends a swordsman named ], and they head off in search of the One Piece. They are joined by ], a navigator and thief; ], a sniper and a liar; and ], a womanizing chef; in their journey, they acquire a ship named the ''Going Merry'' and engage in confrontations with notorious pirates of the East Blue. Later, the Straw Hats go to Loguetown where they prepare to enter the Grand Line. There, Luffy encounters ], a Navy captain. He briefly captures Luffy, but is saved by his father, ].
After making their way into the Grand Line, the group meets ], a princess who wants to help save her country, the Alabasta Kingdom, from the crime syndicate ]. They later befriend the doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer ] while in Drum Island and along the way fight Baroque Works agents. The Straw Hats arrive in Alabasta, leading to battles with Baroque Works and their leader, ], a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who sought to usurp the Alabasta royal line. Luffy finally defeats Crocodile and liberates Alabasta. Soon after, ], an archaeologist formerly employed as a Baroque Works agent, joins Luffy's crew.

The Straw Hats soon encounter ], the alias of Marshall D. Teach, who also aspires to become the King of the Pirates. After traveling to the flying island of Skypiea, the crew gets involved in a war between the Skypieans and the Shandorians, leading to a confrontation with the island's tyrannical ruler, Eneru. Luffy defeats Eneru to save Skypiea and end the war. The crew soon meets the navy admiral ], who reveals that Robin was involved in searching for Poneglyphs, which are stones with markings left by an ancient civilization to reveal the missing 100 years of history that the World Government had erased. The group goes to Water 7, where they are informed that the ''Going Merry'' is damaged beyond repair. At the same time, the crew get into conflict with a local gang led by the ] ]. However, ], the ]'s intelligence agency, captures Robin and Franky for information regarding the Poneglyphs and the ancient weapons that may come from them. Franky burns his blueprints for one of the weapons, Pluton, and teams up with the Straw Hats to declare war on the government, resulting in battles between CP9 and its members. The final long battle with CP9 ends when the crew saves Robin. To replace the sunken ''Going Merry'', Franky constructs a new ship, the ''Thousand Sunny'', for the Straw Hats and officially joins the crew. Soon after, the crew helps a musician skeleton named ], who was revived after eating a Devil Fruit, find his shadow aboard the gigantic pirate ship ''Thriller Bark'', which has been stolen by ]. After defeating Moriah, Brook joins Luffy's crew.

After arriving at Sabaody Archipelago, the crew prepares to sail to the New World. However, The crew eventually get separated by Bartholomew Kuma; Luffy is transported to the all-female island Amazon Lily. Having learned that his adoptive older brother, ], has been detained at the government prison Impel Down, Luffy traverses there to rescue him. However, Luffy soon learns that Ace is at Marineford to be executed at Navy headquarters. As Luffy arrives at Marineford, war breaks out between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, led by Edward Newgate, also known by the alias ]. In the ensuing chaos, Whitebeard and Ace are killed. Later, Luffy has his crewmates undergo rigorous training for two years to prepare for the New World.

Two years later, the crew regroups at Sabaody Archipelago and journey to Fishman Island to enter the New World. During this time, a group of fishman pirates appear and attempt a ] to decide the fate of the island. However, the Straw Hats defeat the pirates, saving the island. The Straw Hats leave Fishman Island and finally reach the New World. Entering the island of Punk Hazard, the crew encounters ], with whom they form an alliance with to take down Kaido of the Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, the strongest pirates in the world. The alliance is drawn into a fierce battle against Caesar Clown, a scientist who is in the service of ].

After Caesar's defeat, the alliance travels to Dressrosa, a kingdom ruled by Doflamingo, in an attempt to destroy the SMILE factory, which supplies artificial Devil Fruits to Kaido. In Dressrosa, Luffy competes in a competition to receive the Flame-Flame Fruit, formerly used by Ace. Sanji, Nami, Brook, and Chopper leave Dressrosa when the Big Mom Pirates, led by Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin, another one of the Four Emperors, arrive to attack the ''Thousand Sunny''. Luffy's other adoptive brother, Sabo, arrives and assumes Luffy's place in the competition to earn the Flame-Flame Fruit as Luffy leaves to rescue his friends. Luffy and Law defeat Doflamingo in a battle for Dressrosa's fate and save the country. After leaving, seven crews form an alliance and swear their loyalty to Luffy, creating the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

Luffy, Law, and the remaining Straw Hat crew, along with the samurai Kin'emon and Kanjuro, head to the island of Zou, which lies on top of a giant elephant, in search of the rest of the Straw Hats, Kin'emon's son Momonosuke, and the ninja Raizo who was traveling with the samurai. While on Zou, they meet an anthropomorphic animal race known as the Mink Tribe. Meanwhile, Sanji is taken away by the Big Mom Pirates. The crew also discover that Zou has been under siege by Jack of the Beasts Pirates. However, Jack is utterly defeated by the elephant and peace is restored to Zou. Afterward, the crew decide to split up again, with Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and Brook, going to Whole Cake Island in an attempt to rescue Sanji from his arranged marriage with Charlotte Pudding, one of Big Mom's daughters, which was set up to finalize a political alliance between the Charlotte Family and Sanji's birth family, the Vinsmoke Family. <!-- This is a general overview of the series; it does not require regular updates. -->

==Production==
While working as an assistant to ], Oda began writing ''One Piece'' in 1996.<ref name="wanted">{{cite book|language=Japanese |publisher=Shueisha|last=Oda|first=Eiichiro|title=Wanted!|page=202|isbn=978-4-08-872631-1|date=November 1998}}</ref> From there, it started as two ] stories entitled ''Romance Dawn''<ref name="wanted" />—which would later be used as the title for ''One Piece'''s first chapter and volume. They both 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 '']'' and later in ''One Piece Red''. The second was published in the 41st issue of ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' in 1996 and reprinted in 1998 in Oda's short story collection, ''Wanted!''.<ref name="RomanceDawn Animated">{{cite web |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-10/one-piece-prototype-romance-dawn-to-be-animated |title=One Piece's 'Prototype' Romance Dawn to be Animated |publisher=] |date=July 10, 2008 |accessdate=August 22, 2008 }}</ref>

Oda revealed that he originally planned ''One Piece'' to last five years, and that he had already planned out the ending, but he found it would take longer then he had expected.<ref name="SBS1">{{cite book |last=Oda |first=Eiichiro |title=] |series=One Piece |date=July 2006 |publisher=Shueisha |language=Japanese |isbn=4-08-874127-7 |page=126 }}</ref> Oda stated that the ending will be what he had decided on from the beginning and is committed to seeing it through.<ref name="Yomiuri-Oda">{{cite web |url=http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/book/news/20070725bk07.htm |title=「ONE PIECE」尾田栄一郎さんに聞く |accessdate=July 25, 2007 |first=Kanta |last=Ishida |date=July 25, 2007 |work=Yomiuri Shimbun |location=Japan |language=Japanese }}{{dead link|date=September 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

When creating a Devil Fruit, Oda thinks of something that would fulfill a human desire; he added that he does not see why he would draw a Devil Fruit unless the fruit's appearance would entice one to eat it.<ref name="FansChat32">"Fans Chat with Oda Sensei!" Shonen Jump #84. Volume 7, Issue 12. December 2009. 32.</ref> The names of many special attacks and other concepts in the manga consist of a form of punning, in which phrases written in '']'' 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; some of them look fearsome when read by sight but sound like kinds of food when read aloud—for example, Zoro's signature move is ], which is rendered as ''demon's cut'' but may also mean ''rice ball''). 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."<ref name="KonosukeUdaEisakuInoueInterview"/> Nevertheless, ], the director, said that he believes that the creators "made the anime pretty close to the manga."<ref name="KonosukeUdaEisakuInoueInterview">{{cite magazine|date=December 2007|magazine=]|volume=5|issue=12|page=198|publisher=Viz Media|title=2 Anime directors' Interview}}</ref>

Oda was "sensitive" about how his work would be translated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://manga.about.com/od/mangaartistswriters/a/JasonThompson.htm|title=Interview: Jason Thompson: Manga Editor and Author of Manga: The Complete Guide|first=Deb|last=Aoki|publisher=]|accessdate=October 16, 2009}}</ref> The English version of the ''One Piece'' manga in many instances uses one ] for multiple onomatopoeia used in the Japanese version. For instance, "''saaa''" (the sound of light rain, close to a mist) and "''zaaa''" (the sound of pouring rain) are both translated as "fshhhhhhh."<ref>{{cite magazine|date=September 2009|magazine=]|volume=7|issue=9|page=228|publisher=Viz Media|title=Sensitiveness of Translation for Onomatopoeia}}</ref> Unlike other manga artists, Oda draws everything that moves himself to create a consistent look while leaving his staff to draw the backgrounds based on sketches drawn by Oda.<ref>{{cite book|publisher=]|first=Eiichiro|last=Oda|page=108|series=One Piece|volume=52|script-title=ja:]|isbn=978-4-08-874602-9|date=December 2008|language=Japanese}}</ref>
