One Piece
ONE PIECE
Serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since 1997, One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy and his crew as they sail the world in search of the legendary treasure, the One Piece.
What is it?
Luffy dreams of becoming Pirate King and sets sail with a crew that grows as he makes friends across the seas. They encounter enemies, solve mysteries, and have adventures on every island. The tone begins lighthearted but deepens into action and drama as the story progresses.
By the numbers
Nearly 30 years of continuous serialization has meant new episodes almost every year. Success in anime, film, and games spread the story far beyond manga. It holds Guinness World Records for most copies published for the same comic by one author (2015 and 2022). Translations worldwide have put it in readers' hands across language barriers.
Where to start
With over 100 volumes out, you can jump in at the latest or begin at volume 1. The story is continuous, so you read at your own pace.
