I wonāt sit here and tell you that getting into One Piece is an easy task ā it isnāt. Sure, I am mostly caught up with and as of writing, I think Iām a chapter behind on the manga, but itās taken me six years, more or less, to geāt here. Buį©į©į©į©į©į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©š±į©į©į©t, what I will tell you is that I wouldnāt trade the experience of seeing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates progress on their journey for anything.
In the One Piece manga and anime, the story is divided into 11 sagas that are made up of more isolated and focused story arcs. As you talk with other One Piece fans, youāll learn that everyone has a preference on watching/sź¦¬kipping filler, and depending on your answer, the series might end up being about a hundršed episodes lighter than if you were to include fillers.
So, letās take a look at a ā non-spoilery ā list of One Piece sagas and story arcs that youāll encounter in your sea-bound travels. Iāll also mention if any given story arc is considered filler, canon, or anime canon, meaning itās canon to the events of the anime, and is referenced later on, but isnāt present in the manga. Here are all One Piece arcs in order.
