The Grand Line itself is split into two separate halves with the Red Line between being Paradise[Jp 13] and the New World. [Jp 14] Premise Further information: List of One Piece chapters The series
focuses on Monkey D. Luffy—a young man made of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit—who sets off on a journey from the East Blue Sea to find the deceased King of the Pirates Gol D. Roger's ultimate treasure known as the "One Piece", and take over his prior title. In an effort to organize his own crew, the Straw Hat Pirates,[Jp 15] Luffy rescues and befriends a pirate hunter and swordsman named Roronoa Zoro, and they head off in search of the titular treasure. They are joined in their journey by Nami, a money-obsessed thief and navigator; Usopp, a sniper and compulsive liar; and Sanji, an amorous but chivalrous cook. They acquire a ship, the Going Merry[Jp 16]—later replaced by the Thousand Sunny[Jp 17]—and engage in

As Luffy and his crew set out on their adventures, others join the crew later in the series, including Tony Tony Chopper, an anthropomorphized reindeer doctor; Nico Robin, an archaeologist and former Baroque Works assassin; Franky, a cyborg shipwright; Brook, a skeleton musician and swordsman; and Jimbei, a whale shark-type fish-man and former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who becomes their helmsman. Together, they encounter other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents, different types of scientists, soldiers of the morally-ambiguous World Government, and various other friends and foes, as they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams.

decision as both a production-oriented and creative one in an interview with Collider over the summer, saying at the time, "when you see Episode 4 of Season 2, you may need a break. It's a big episode. It's definitely a mid-season finale kind of episode. "LoadingPlayKirkman has previously spoken about the struggles the show went
through between Seasons 1 and 2, especially dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the two-year wait in between installments. “It was the worst possible timing with the series launching in the middle of the pandemic and ramping back up to start Season 2 and Season 3, and also putting systems in place so that this doesn't happen again," he told me at last year's San Diego Comic-Con. "That was a herculean task.

will not flesh it out. I will not write episodes that I don't remember clearly. I will only write the lines and
stories that Miura described to me. "[72] In a 2023 interview, on the occasion of the 42nd volume release, Mori commented that Miura "was a manga genius bursting with talent," and that "[h]e had an eagerness to see things through to the end as well as an outstanding ability to paint, conceive stories and employ narrative devices effectively. " For this reason, Mori initially concluded that it would be impossible to keep the series going without Miura, but he changed his mind after meeting with the members of Studio Gaga, who had worked under Miura, to perfect the unfinished last Berserk chapter that Miura had worked on. Mori recalled thinking: "The thought that Miura would be mad at me doing nothing motivated me to reach a decision.
