One Piece’s vast worldbuilding and intricate storylines have produced exciting arcs for fans to enjoy.

SUMMARY

 One Piece’s Romance Dawn arc sets the stage for Luffy’s journey and introduces iconic characters like Zoro.
 The Orange Town arc showcases the early struggles of the Straw Hat Pirates and introduces key characters Nami and Buggy.
 The Syrup Village arc solidifies the bond within the crew and features Usopp’s heroic actions against Kuro.

When it comes to storytelling, Eiichiro Oda’s flagship series, One Piece, is nothing short of a masterpiece. Since 1997, the pirate-filled shonen has grown into one of the greatest, most-beloved stories of all time. After so many years of adventure, comedy, and fantastic fight scenes, there is no shortage of fan-favorite narrative arcs to choose from within the series.

For some fans, many of One Piece‘s best moments occur around the start of the show. Others claim that Monkey D. Luffy’s adventures pick up steam as they go, resulting in higher-quality story arcs across the board during the series’ second half. In reality, every One Piece arc has been a success since its inception, and its best sequences are spread throughout the entirety of its impressive 25-year syndication.

Updated on April 9th, 2024 by Louis Kemner: Now that the Final Saga has launched with the Egghead Island story arc, One Piece’s juggernaut anime has finall begun its endgame, so it’s a good time to look back on how far this pirate saga has come. So, this list of One Piece arcs has been expanded to include the ongoing Egghead Island arc and features new content for the other arcs.

One Piece arcs like Whole Cake Island and Punk Hazard are infinitely better executed in the manga.

The Romance Dawn Arc Is The Commencement Of Luffy’s Journey

Episodes 1-3

Shells Town is the setting for part of One Piece's Romance Dawn arc

Every great shonen journey starts somewhere, and for Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro, that somewhere is One Piece‘s Romance Dawn arc. During this brief One Piece arc (which comprises the show’s first three episodes), Luffy makes his desire to become the Pirate King known far and wide, starting with his pink-haired acquaintance, Koby.

In addition to Luffy, viewers also receive their first glimpse of Roronoa Zoro during the Romance Dawn arc — the swordsman’s iconic introduction in Shells Town is still a highlight of the series over two decades later. These massive character introductions get One Piece started on the perfect note, and for this reason alone, the Romance Dawn Arc deserves its laurels. Even so, this tiny One Piece story arc is just the prologue to the first phase of this massive anime, a brief snipped of what One Piece is really all about.

The Orange Town Arc Begins With The Straw Hats In Dire Straits

Episodes 4-8

Luffy fights Buggy as Nami ducks during the Orange Town arc in One Piece.

When the Orange Town arc begins, the Straw Hat Pirates are in dire straits. Neither Monkey D. Luffy nor Roronoa Zoro possesses any navigational abilities, which results in them floating adrift until they stumble upon the quiet island housing Orange Town.

By the end of the Orange Town arc, Luffy and Zoro are introduced to two characters who go on to play major roles in One Piece‘s narrative: Nami and Buggy the Clown. The introduction of these two characters alone would cement this arc’s place in One Piece history. However, thanks to a few fun fights between the Straw Hat trio and the Buggy Pirates, this arc also slots among the show’s best, at least in its early phase. Also, the Orange Town arc featured the series’ very first clash of Devil Fruits, a good way to expand upon the Devil Fruit combat system and show that while Luffy stands out as a rubber man, he is far from unique as a wielder of supernatural gifts.

The Syrup Village Arc Is When Usopp Comes Into The Picture

Jango holds up a finger while talking. Monkey D. Luffy defeats Captain Kuro in One Piece's Syrup Village Arc Merry stands in front of the Going Merry in One Piece's Syrup Village Arc

Although the formation of the Straw Hat Pirates technically occurs in One Piece‘s first episode, it isn’t until the Syrup Village arc that the group finally starts to feel like a cohesive unit. By the end of their struggle against Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Nami are all firmly committed to one another as friends.

Kuro’s dastardly plan to annihilate the inhabitants of Syrup Village forces the town’s loudmouthed sniper to spring to action. Because of his courage, the Straw Hat Pirates defeat one of the East Blue’s most heinous pirate crews. Despite being one of the shortest entries in the list of One Piece arcs, the events of Syrup Village are substantial enough to justify a rewatch for even the most die-hard fans. The Syrup Village story arc was a fairly straightforward adventure in the One Piece anime, but it took on a whole new meaning in the live-action Netflix version, which emphasized this arc’s horror elements as Captain Kuro stalked Kaya and the others in the locked-down house.

Roronoa Zoro during One Piece's Baratie Arc The floating restaurant Baratie on the ocean.

One Piece has many fantastic sagas that include exciting story arcs like Alabasta and Enies Lobby.

When the Straw Hat Pirates arrive on Baratie, they are still in their infancy as a crew. Although Nami is traveling with them, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro are the only concrete members. However, by the end of this One Piece arc, Sanji joins the crew, filling one of its most needed roles — the ship’s cook.

Watching Sanji’s backstory with the chefs of Baratie brings tears to the eyes of even the most seasoned fans. Despite its significance, the highlight of these episodes has to be the appearance of Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Seae. His actions demonstrate the ceiling of power in the world of One Piece while also providing an iconic character moment for Roronoa Zoro. This episode also previewed the brutality of the Grand Line, since Don Krieg’s massive pirate fleet only barely returned from that place alive.

The Arlong Park Arc Marks The Moment One Piece Took Off Properly

Most fans agree that the Arlong Park arc marks the moment when One Piece started to take off properly. Eiichiro Oda started to expand the One Piece world by introducing the concept of Fishmen and the Seven Warlords. It is also here that fans learn the truth about Nami’s backstory, which as tragic as it is revealing.

Furthermore, this One Piece arc also features some of the highest stakes in the series at the time. With Nami’s freedom and the lives of everyone in her hometown hanging in the balance, Luffy’s fight against the Arlong is packed with plenty of emotional intensity as well as casual destruction.

The Loguetown Arc Represents A Juncture Point For The Straw Hats

Episodes 45-53

buggy the clown almost decapitates luffy in orange town

The Loguetown Arc represents a bit of a juncture point for the Straw Hat Pirates. As their last stop in East Blue, Loguetown signals the true beginning of Monkey D. Luffy’s journey as a pirate. There, he encounters characters like Monkey D. Dragon, Buggy the Clown, and Captain Smoker, eventually being placed in the same pillory as Gol D. Roger himself.

With its vast array of characters and attachment to the lore of One Piece, the Loguetown Arc foreshadows many elements of Luffy’s journey across the Grand Line. Although the liminal nature of the Straw Hats’ stop at Loguetown limits the arc’s potential, it is still one of the best sequences in the entire series. However, the live-action Netflix version omitted the Loguetown arc entirely for timing and pacing reasons.

The Reverse Mountain Arc Introduces Multiple Important Characters

Episodes 62 & 63

Laboon giant whale is in front of the red line in One Piece

One Piece‘s Reverse Mountain Arc only consists of two episodes, but despite its brevity, it introduces multiple characters that will likely play a role in the series’ final saga. Crocus, Laboon, and Nefertari Vivi all make their on-screen debut during this stretch, which officially signals the Straw Hat Pirates’ entry into the Grand Line.

Laboon’s attempt to break through the Red Line and reunite with the pirate crew that left him behind is a striking image, and given its connection to Brook’s addition to the Straw Hat Pirates, it’s easily one of the highlights of the Alabasta Saga. This, as well as Crocus’ relationship to Gol D. Roger and Vivi’s connection to the World Government, is a major reason why the Reverse Mountain Arc has aged like fine wine.

The Whiskey Peak Arc Brings Bounty Hunting Into The Picture

Episode 64-67

Luffy is fighting Zoro during the Whiskey Peak Arc.

Bounty hunters are frequently mentioned throughout the One Piece timeline, yet it isn’t until the Whiskey Peak Arc that they play any significant role on-screen. When the inhabitants of Whiskey Peak welcome the Straw Hat Pirates with open arms, none of the series’ protagonists bat an eye. Unfortunately, these citizens turn out to be bounty hunters working for Baroque Works, introducing Luffy and his crew to the criminal syndicate.

Two of Baroque Works’ strongest officers, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, show up during this arc, but Luffy and Zoro instantly prove that they are leaps-and-bounds stronger by quickly dispatching the pair. Shortly after, the Straw Hat Pirates commit to helping Nefertari Vivi return to Alabasta — a promise that eventually manifests in the crew’s first fight against a Warlord of the Sea.

The Diary Of Koby-Meppo Is An Eponymous Mini-Arc

Episodes 68 & 69

koby and helmeppo are fighting each other barehanded

For the most part, the One Piece anime does not adapt the cover stories that appear in its manga. These narratives are usually brief, so they’re not particularly well-suited for the anime medium. That being said, Koby and Helmeppo’s entry into the Marines proved to be too important to the show’s narrative, and as a result, it was included as a short mini-arc.

The Diary of Koby-Meppo Arc showcases the pair’s early struggles in the Marines, reminding viewers that these two characters are not to be forgotten. In addition, this One Piece arc introduces Monkey D. Garp — Monkey D. Luffy’s grandfather and arguably the most famous Marine of all time.

One Piece’s unique structure has led to some truly sprawling arcs, some of which are the best storylines in the entire series.

Of all the islands that decorate One Piece‘s Grand Line, none are more storied than Elbaf. The home of the giants is still yet to appear in the series, but thanks to adventures like the Little Garden Arc, the Straw Hat Pirates have gotten a taste of the island’s warrior-like culture.

Dorry and Broggy are two giants that have been embroiled in a duel on the island of Little Garden for 100 years. Because of their determination and honorable nature, the pair immediately bond with the Straw Hat Pirates. However, their friendly interactions are cut short when Baroque Works interrupts their duel, earning the ire of Dorry, Broggy, and the entire Straw Hat crew. The Little Garden story arc also established new stakes for the Straw Hat Pirates crew, with Nami catching a dreadful illness that no one could cure. So, the Straw Hats had to venture to Drum Island and seek a doctor there, paving the way for Tony Tony Chopper’s introduction.

Every One Piece arc that results in a new member of the Straw Hat Pirates is noteworthy, and the Drum Island arc is no exception. With Nami battling a life-threatening illness, Luffy and his crew arrive on Drum Island desperate for a doctor to join their ranks. However, the previous king, Wapol, had kept all the doctors to himself, and practically no one can help them — but then the Straw Hats catch a break.

Luckily for the Straw Hats, they encounter Tony Tony Chopper, a reindeer-turned-doctor determined to cure all the world’s diseases. His touching backstory, the arc’s despicable antagonist, Wapol, and the struggle of Drum Island’s inhabitants all serve as the perfect backdrop for an addition to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Princess Nefertari Vivi weeps in One Piece: Episode of Alabasta Sir Crocodile makes an evil smile in Alabasta Vivi is smiling in One Piece as the Straw Hats leave Straw Hat Pirates have their hands in the air

With anticipation building since the Whiskey Peak arc, fans were eager to witness the conclusion of the Alabasta Saga. For the sake of their friend Princess Vivi Nefertari, the Straw Hats put everything on the line to save her country from the Warlord Crocodile. Such incredible stakes make the Alabasta arc one of the very best One Piece arcs in the pre-time skip era of this anime.

As the first person to ever beat Luffy in a fight, Crocodile quickly became one of the series’ top villains and was responsible for making him push past his limits to become stronger. The conclusion of this One Piece saga also serves as the starting line where Luffy’s infamous reputation begins to evolve as the World Government finally takes notice of him and his crew. Most of all, the Alabasta story arc introduced two key allies of Luffy’s, those being the redeemed villain Nico Robin and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, the latter of whom risked his life to help the Straw Hats escape the Navy fleet at Alabasta.

The Jaya Arc Effectively Functions As A Set-Up For The Next Arc

Episodes 144-152

blackbeard points at someone at Jaya island

Although the Jaya arc effectively functions as a setup for the events of Skypiea, its worth as a narrative should not be discounted. An entire slew of characters — Bartholomew Kuma, Bellamy, Blackbeard, Doflamingo, Mont Blanc Cricket, Sengoku, the Five Elders, and Whitebeard, to name a few — were introduced during this arc.

This makes it one of the most jam-packed sequences in any One Piece saga. Blackbeard and Monkey D. Luffy’s conversations about chasing their dreams would be enough for this arc to warrant mention. However, the additional scenes involving the Straw Hat Pirates’ conflict with Bellamy and the struggle of Mont Blanc Cricket solidify it as one of the best One Piece arcs before the time skip.

The Skypiea Arc Is One Of The More Underrated One Piece Arcs

Episodes 153-195

Enel from One Piece lounges on a pillow

The Skypiea arc is one of the more underrated arcs in the series. It has all the elements necessary for a great adventure, as well as the most unique environment in the One Piece timeline. The Skypiea arc also reveals some vital information regarding the mysterious Poneglyphs. Towards the end of the arc, Robin finds one that not only reveals the identity of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon but also features a message from Gol D. Roger.

In it, the former Pirate King hints that the truth of the Void Century lies at Raftel, the final island of the Grand Line and the rumored location of the legendary treasure One Piece. Throw in a heart-wrenching narrative involving the Shandorians and Mont Blanc Noland, and this One Piece arc ranks among the best in the show. Some fans may dismiss it as borderline filler as a weird isekai-style adventure, but Skypiea serves a purpose in the story, just like any other canon story arc.

The Long Ring Long Land Arc Is Great For Laughs But Little Else

Episodes 207-219

foxy the silver fox gestures with his hands

The most popular One Piece arcs have memorable fight scenes, iconic moments, exciting dialogue, and cool characters.

Smack in between two of One Piece‘s most beloved sagas lies the Long Ring Long Land Arc. Although it would be easy to write this arc off as filler, that’s unfortunately not the case. The Long Ring Long Land Arc is remembered for many reasons, several of which highlight the sequence’s shortcomings.

When the Straw Hat Pirates return from Skypiea, they almost immediately arrive at Long Ring Long Land and encounter the Foxy Pirates. What follows is a competition between the two crews that ultimately results in little change to either side, accomplishing little other than providing fans with a few cheap laughs before the Water 7 Saga. Fans might say that the Sky Island saga feels like filler, but Long Ring Long Land feels much more like filler and is actually skippable since no serious plot developments happen unless fans count the Straw Hat crew’s brief clash with Admiral Aokiji to preview the power of the three Admirals.

The Water 7 Arc Has The Straw Hat Pirates Undergo Some Serious Changes

Episodes 229-263

Usopp uses an Impact Dial against Luffy in One Piece Usopp and Luffy argue as Nami and Sanji watch in One Piece Paulie from Water 7 is smoking a cigar.Franky the pirate grins at Water 7. Usopp uses an Impact Dial against Luffy in One Piece Usopp and Luffy argue as Nami and Sanji watch in One Piece Paulie from Water 7 is smoking a cigar.

Many fans refer to the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs as the same, but technically, they are separate halves of a greater saga. Water 7 handles everything up to the Straw Hats’ departure for Enies Lobby, and although it isn’t quite as impactful as the story that follows, it still makes for one of One Piece‘s best arcs.

While in Water 7, the Straw Hat Pirates undergo some serious changes. Robin and Usopp each leave the crew for separate reasons, forcing Luffy to finally demonstrate his capacity to handle conflict among his crew. In addition to this, Franky is introduced to the series, resulting in one of the most Straw Hat-heavy sequences in their entire journey. This story arc also helped remind One Piece fans that the Going Merry isn’t just a mode of transportation for the Straw Hats — it’s like a crewmate in its own right, complete with emotional bonds. It’s no wonder Usopp was so desperate to save the Going Merry in the Water 7 arc.

The Enies Lobby Arc Features Several Memorable And Profound Moments

Episodes 264-290, 293-302, 304-325

One Piece Straw Hat Pirates stand together during One Piece's Enies Lobby Arc

In regard to One Piece‘s story arcs, many fans agree that the Enies Lobby arc is the best in the entire series. It features several memorable moments such as Nico Robin’s tragic backstory, Franky destroying the blueprints for the Ancient Weapon Pluton. It even introduces Luffy’s Gear Second and Third transformations.

In a major turning point in the series, Luffy and the Straw Hats demonstrate their resolve to save and protect Robin by burning down the World Government’s flag. In doing so, they not only restore Robin’s will to live, they declare war on the entire world. From regular pirates to international criminals, it does not get any more epic than Enies Lobby. Throw in quality storylines that relate to each of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the sequence slots among the best in anime history.

Perona uses her Devil Fruit, the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, to create ghosts in One Piece's Thriller Bark arc Brook is laughing for the first time after meeting the Straw Hats during One Piece's Thriller Bark Arc

Thriller Bark is yet another of One Piece‘s underrated story arcs. Initially, it starts with a hilarious atmosphere full of classic One Piece gags. The situation quickly escalates as the Straw Hats unite to defeat the Warlord Gecko Moria and his giant zombie Oars.

This arc is also popular for introducing the Straw Hats musician Brook and showcasing Roronoa Zoro’s standoff against Bartholomew Kuma. In one of his greatest moments in the series, he prevents Kuma from killing Luffy by agreeing to take on all the pain he suffered in his fight with Moria — an act that nearly destroys him in the process. As a bonus, the Thriller Bark arc strongly hinted at the reclusive nation of Wano, with Roronoa Zoro sparring with the zombified remains of a Wano samurai.

The Sabaody Archipelago Arc Explores Darker Themes Than Usual

Charloss glares at a nurse during the Sabaody Archipelago arc in One Piece.

The Sabaody Archipelago is an emotionally gripping sequence that explores the darker themes of the series such as racism and slavery. It also introduces the Celestial Dragons, descendants of the founders of the World Government who wield absolute political power. After a Celestial Dragon shoots one of Luffy’s friends and tries to enslave another, the Straw Hat pirate retaliates by punching him in the face.

While this was undoubtedly a satisfying moment for many fans, it also resulted in the Straw Hats being targeted by Marine Admiral Kizaru and his terrifying Devil Fruit. Not only did they experience the feeling of bitter defeat, but they also witnessed just how overwhelming the government’s military power can be.

When the Straw Hat Pirates are forcibly separated by Bartholomew Kuma, each member of the crew is devastated by their loss. However, in the case of Monkey D. Luffy, he doesn’t have time to bemoan his circumstances, and during the Amazon Lily Arc, he develops a plan of action to stop the impending execution of his brother, Portgas D. Ace.

With the help of Boa Hancock and her followers, Luffy plans an infiltration of One Piece‘s most secure location, Impel Down. While the Amazon Lily Arc isn’t very long, it’s instrumental in setting up one of the most memorable One Piece sagas, Marineford.

The Straw Hat’s Separation Arc Is Distinct Enough To Be Considered A New Narrative

As Monkey D. Luffy plans his jailbreak of Portgas D. Ace, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates gather their bearings at various locations across the Grand Line. Each is sent to a location that is well-suited to their growth as pirates, and they spend the following two years developing their respective skills.

The Straw Hat’s Separation Arc is interspersed throughout the Impel Down Arc; however, it’s distinct enough to be considered its own narrative sequence. Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates don’t appear until after the One Piece timeskip, so their presence in this section is much appreciated.

Luffy is baring his teeth in Impel Down in One Piece. luffy stands with crocodile, ivankov, and others in impel down level 6 bon clay at impel down spreads his arms wide

The Impel Down arc begins with Luffy infiltrating the infamous Impel Down prison to save his brother Portgas D. Ace from execution. At first, his attempt fails following his defeat against warden Magellan. However, thanks to the interference of the revolutionary Emporio Ivankov and former enemy Mr. 2 Bon Clay, he survives and continues his mission to save Ace.

Throughout the entire arc, Luffy demonstrates the full extent of his overwhelming ambition and charisma as he recruits new allies like Ivankov, former Warlord Jimbei, and even former enemies like Buggy the Clown and Crocodile. In the end, Luffy and his allies successfully escape Impel Down while also dealing a fatal blow to the World Government. While the Impel Down story arc is mostly setup, it does a fine job getting many key characters and groups into place not just for the next story arc, but many arcs beyond it, too. Sir Crocodile, for one, escapes Impel Down in this arc so he can form the Cross Guild with Dracule Mihawk later.

One Piece’s East Blue saga sets the tone for the epic tale that will unfold.

The Marineford Arc serves as the conclusion to the first half of One PieceIt introduces some of the biggest names in the history of the One Piece timeline, and it also marks a major turning point for Luffy, who realizes just how outclassed he and his friends are against the New World’s elite.

In the end, many fans are left grieving over the deaths of Ace and the legendary Emperor of the Sea, Whitebeard. In his final moments, Whitebeard announces the beginning of a new era by confirming the existence of the One Piece. Not only does the Marineford Arc mark the end of an era, but it also immortalizes Whitebeard as one of the greatest characters in anime history. This arc also included the important yet bizarre development of Captain Blackbeard somehow stealing Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which led to some interesting fan theories about how exactly Blackbeard managed such a feat.

monkey d. luffy is bandaged up during One Piece's post-war arc

After the events of Marineford, the entire One Piece world is in shock. The Post-War arc details the fallout of Whitebeard’s battle against the World Government while also launching the series toward the New Era, providing what is arguably the most important segue in the entire show.

Jinbei and Blackbeard step down as Warlords of the Sea during this arc, but the biggest development has to be each Straw Hat Pirates’ plan for the time skip. Seeing them prepare to train for two years without each other’s company is a bittersweet sight that few fans will forget.

The Return To Sabaody Arc Offers Some Of The Most Exciting Reveals

Episodes 517-522

The Straw Hat Pirates are reunited during the events of One Piece's return to Sabaody arc

The Straw Hat Pirates’ return to Sabaody Archipelago makes for one of the shortest arcs in One Piece. However, this sequence doesn’t suffer whatsoever from its brevity, providing some of the most exciting reveals of any arc in the series post-timeskip.

Each of the Straw Hats appears one by one during this arc, showing off their post-timeskip appearances. Their visual designs are stunning; however, they pale in comparison to the brief glimpses of power we see from each character. They all receive an opportunity to display their growth, making quick work of the Marines and Pacifistas located on the island.

The Fish-man Island Arc Tackles Delicate Issues Such As Racism

Episodes 523-574

The New Fish-man Pirates are drained of their energy in One Piece

The Fish-man Island arc was initially supposed to happen before the time skip in One Piece. However, due to the Straw Hat Pirates separating at Sabaody, the events were postponed until after the two-year timeskip. After having Rayleigh coat their ship, the Straw Hat crew finally sets off for their adventure in the New World by going to Fishman Island.

The arc effectively tackles the important issues of the series such as racism and the poor treatment of Fish-Men. Further, Monkey D. Luffy picks a fight with the Emperor of the Sea, Big Mom, after defeating Hody Jones. Arguably even more importantly, Nico Robin reveals Shirahoshi’s identity as Poseidon, one of the great superweapons of the world.

The Punk Hazard Arc Is One Of The Most Iconic For A Reason

Episodes 579-625

Usopp and Nami don their new outfits during One Piece's Punk Hazard Arc

The Punk Hazard arc is one of the most iconic arcs in One Piece for a reason. Not only does it mark the beginning of the Dressrosa Saga, but it also sets Luffy’s battle against the Emperors of the Sea in motion. The arc sees Luffy and Trafalgar D. Law join forces and form a pirate alliance to take down one of the Grand Line’s greatest pirates — Kaido.

Interestingly, fans also get to see Dr. Vegapunk’s artificial Devil Fruits in action. Furthermore, the arc ensures that Dressrosa begins while firing on all cylinders as Vergo’s death at the hands of Trafalgar Law causes Doflamingo to set out in chase of the alliance itself. This arc also introduces the twisted scientist Caesar Clown, a minion of Doflamingo’s, and features the return of Smoker and Tashigi. Also, while no Admirals appear in this arc, Punk Hazard’s fire/ice terrain is clear evidence that the Admirals are fighting one another, since Aokiji and Akainu fought so fiercely on this island recently.

Doflamingo uses the String-String Fruit Against Law in One PIece Fujitora uses a transponder snail during the Dressrosa arc in One Piece

The Dressrosa arc serves as the first major challenge for Luffy and his crew since their arrival to the New World. It also reveals the history behind one of the strongest and most evil villains in One Piece — Donquixote Doflamingo. With his crew divided, Luffy allies himself with a group of pirates and warriors who suffered under Doflamingo’s brutal regime.

This arc also features the return of Luffy’s adoptive brother Sabo, as well as the introduction of his long-anticipated Gear Fourth transformation. By the conclusion of this One Piece arc, Luffy and his allies establish the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, a group that will ultimately shake the very foundations of the world. Along the way, the Dressrosa arc introduced Admiral Fujitora, a new member of the Navy’s upper echelons. He may be hostile to the Straw Hats, but not nearly as much as Akainu and Kizaru.

The Zou Arc Is Chock-Full Of Material For Fans To Sort Through

Episodes 751-779

the image shows the ruins of a city on zou island in One Piece

One Piece arcs like Marineford and Reverie, build up and foreshadow throughout the series, resulting in memorable and significant moments.

The Zou Arc follows Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey after the events of Dressrosa. This One Piece arc is rather short, but akin to Sabaody Archipelago, it is chock-full of material for fans to sort through. The appearance of Zunesha, the giant elephant that supports the island of Zou, is also vital to later events in the series.

The Zou arc marked the beginning of the One Piece‘s Emperor of the Sea Saga and revealed the concept of the Road Poneglyphs to the fans. The Pirate-Ninja-Mink-Samurai Alliance was formed, and Luffy set out with the Rescue-Sanji Party to recover his crewmate from the grasp of the Vinsmoke Family and the Emperor of the ea Big Mom.

Bege smokes during the Whole Cake Island Arc in One Piece. Charlotte Katakuri powers up to throw a punch in One Piece.

While it starts slow, the Whole Cake Island arc quickly builds in momentum as Luffy and his allies finally clash against the power of an Emperor of the Sea. The arc also reveals that Sanji is the prince of the Germa Kingdom, and explores his tragic and abusive upbringing.

Unlike previous One Piece sagas, the Sanji Rescue Mission is not about whether the Straw Hats will win, but whether they will survive the wrath of Big Mom. As a result, fans can’t help but feel concerned for the Straw Hats and whether they will all make it out alive. The excitement and anticipation build even further as Luffy faces off against Big Mom’s strongest son, Charlotte Katakuri, one of the toughest opponents he’s ever faced. By fighting Katakuri, Luffy learned to use Color of Observation Haki and thus predict his opponent’s moves.

The Reverie Arc Reveals The Supreme Ruler Of The World

Episodes 878-889

Nefertari Vivi smiles during One Piece's Reverie arc

As the Sanji-Retrieval Team heads off to Wano Country having escaped from Big Mom’s clutches, fans are shown several episodes covering the Reverie — a political meeting between many of the most important characters in the entire series. The history of the One Piece timeline is massively impacted by the decisions made at these gatherings, so the Reverie Arc provides crucial insight into the structure of the World Government

Interestingly enough, fans also get to see the Revolutionary Army commanders for the first time. Other than them, heaps of older characters are present at the meetup, each with different agendas in mind. The abolition of the Warlords of the Sea is eventually agreed upon, but most importantly, the Supreme Ruler of the World — Imu — is revealed as well.

The Wano Country Arc Is Easily The Largest Arc In One Piece

Episodes 890-894, 897-906, 908-1028, 1031-1085

One Piece Kiku Puts Her Hair Up In A Ponytail One Piece's Yamato is tired and exhausted from battle Luffy smiles after transforming into his Gear 5 state in One PieceZoro from One Piece's Wano Country Arc holds the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth. Sanji from One Piece in the Wano Arc holds a bowl of soup. One Piece Kiku Puts Her Hair Up In A Ponytail One Piece's Yamato is tired and exhausted from battle Luffy smiles after transforming into his Gear 5 state in One Piece

Brilliant One Piece arcs like Reverie and Post War don’t get the attention and praise they deserve.

The Wano Country arc has recently reached its end in the One Piece anime, and the conclusion of the Raid on Onigashima has sent ripples throughout the world. Easily the largest arc in One Piece, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance’s battle against Big Mom and Kaido slots among the greatest sequences in anime history.

Ace, Oden, Gol D. Roger, Kaido, Big Mom, Ryokugyu, Shanks, Yamato, the Straw Hat Pirates, and countless other characters appear during this One Piece arc, either directly or via flashbacks. While some are featured more than others, they all have quality moments in the spotlight — as expected of a group that liberated Wano from the control of the world’s two most-wanted pirates. One of the biggest developments was Luffy’s awakening of Gear 5, one of shonen’s best transformations of all time, as well as the return of Joy Boy. Also, Momonosuke assumed a position of leadership in Wano and promised to bring that reclusive nation into a better era for all, quickly moving beyond Orochi’s and Kaido’s tyranny.

The Egghead Island Arc Gathers the Navy, Straw Hats, and More as Dr. Vegapunk Makes His Debut

Episodes 1089-1100 (Present)

Lilith vegapunk holds her helmet in the One Piece anime

As the first arc in the long-awaited Final Saga, the Egghead Island story arc is laying the groundwork for the inevitable final war for the future of the entire world. To begin with, Luffy and his friends meet the genius Dr. Vegapunk, the scientist who helped develop remarkable weapons and technologies for the World Government for years. No doubt Vegapunk knows much about the truth and history of the world, which One Piece fans will learn more about over time. Soon in this arc, the Navy arrives with CP0’s members, including the return of Rob Lucci, who has powered up to keep pace with Luffy’s own enhanced abilities. Elsewhere, Captain Blackbeard is making his move, and there’s little doubt that Luffy’s crew will face the Blackbeard Pirates as part of the final war, probably in a future arc here in the Final Saga.
