So, if you want to watch the anime or read the manga, we’ve got you covered. Read on to learn about all the arcs in One Piece in order and begin your pirate journey.
We have compiled a complete guide to help you watch or read One Piece in the best intended order. We have listed all the major canon arcs in order, including the filler arcs in One Piece, all One Piece movies in order, and even TV specials, in the correct order. So, let’s not waste time and have a look at the One Piece arcs list.
What is the Story of One Piece?
One Piece chronicles the story of Monkey D. Luffy, who puts together a pirate crew in an effort to acquire the fabled “One Piece” treasure and become the next pirate king. The former pirate king Gol D. Roger left behind the treasure. The plot begins in a world populated by pirates and develops into something more exquisite and unpredictable.
One Piece’s tale is broken up into major sagas, each of which has its own sub-sagas. The sub-sagas include a collection of arcs, which are divided based on the islands Luffy and his crew visit. When they touch down on a new island, the arc begins. When they depart for a new location, the current arc ends and marks the start of the new arc.
