One piece is the definition of “It’s the journey, not the destination.” Nothing the One Piece could actually be would be worth 23 years worth of content hyping it up.
(I myself am still a fan of the “one-(head)-piece” that make someone a king, but has to be an item that has been around since the first season theory. Gee, I wonder what that head-piece could be?)
I’ve only seen the live action series. Are you talking about loofys hat?
No idea what that theory is.
Yea luffy’s hat. It’s been a while since I read the Manga, I could have sworn gold d Roger had the straw hat when he got executed but it wasn’t present in the live action show.
Gol D Roger had the straw hat way before visiting Laugh tale. That would be worse than “It was all a dream”, or “The one piece was the friends you made along the way”. Both of which have been debunked by Oda.
Personally I subscribe to the theory that the World Government is whom split the world into 4 pieces during the Void Century. Whatever the One Piece is - it will have the power to rejoin the 4 oceans.
It would solve every dream of all the Straw Hat Pirates. It would literally make the world One Piece again.
Favourite theory I heard was that the One Piece refers to all of the oceans being joined by destroying the strip of land in the centre of the cross shaped continent. They foreshadow it by having every character dream about the different types of fish all co-habiting in the same ocean.
Yes that’s what I’m talking about.
The destruction/removal of the Red Line which is the Mountainois ridges that go North to South round the world. But you would still have the Grand (East to West) that would prevent all 4 oceans from meeting.
Well it has to be something that’s “time gated” for lack of a better term, when roger went they were “to early”
Could be a log-pose that isn’t synched up.
Could be the Poneglyphs told of a person who obviously was not Roger. Gol was not the greedy, selfish type.
Could be that the Poneglyph required something Roger did not have like the Hito Hito no Mi: Nika fruit >!- the same as JoyBoy!<. Maybe it required the power of Poseidon (who wasn’t born yet), Pluto, Uranus, or the Noah ship. Possibly all of them.
!Roger was dying by the time he saw the One Piece.!<
There’s a lot of reasons he didn’t, or couldn’t do anything with it.
The one piece is the friends we made along the way.
Oops sorry, no, it’s the more powerful than God fruit. Still can’t swim in seawater tho.

A lot of these types of media have a really great premise and initial story before it devolves into every Shonen stereotype ever and way the hell too long and specific arcs.
Like One Piece’s original formula of sea travel, pirate action, and island story worked great. It only suffered from Toei’s asanine pacing for the Anime.
Now it’s basically 99% Island and nothing else. No one even acts like pirates anymore, and each Island lasts so long it actually gets boring to watch or read.
The real crime here is that each chapter is about 15 pages, with currently 1101 chapters, yet the each anime episode is 24 minutes long and there are currently 1087 episodes.
Toei has milked this content harder than their infinite stalling in DBZ.
Shonen manga is notorious for having winding stories with no narrative endgame planned.
Even the DBZ anime at 291 episodes is brutally long and drawn out, with a narrative that obviously repeats itself to the point of self-parody.
Everybody is gonna enjoy what they want to enjoy, but cmon.
I just rewatched Yuyu Hakusho and it became obvious real quick nothing planned from arc to arc. Even when the creators want a clean end, their editor will push for more if it’s popular enough. I can respect Demon Slayer for committing to the final villain that was setup in the beginning.
I wonder if that will translate over to the live action netflix YYH.
One Piece is great, but it is a big investment. Worth it IMO. If you’re not sure, watch the Netflix live action. It’s only 8 episodes and is pretty faithful to the original.
I was laid off, and in my 13 months before getting a new job, I didn’t watch a single episode.
Same, except the getting laid off part
yet
You’re right, I might end up watching it
Ask not for whom the pink slip is printed…
Things “One Piece” means in Scotland -
-
An unfashionable all in one ski suit
-
A sandwich
In America its most notorious usage must be a woman’s bathing suit that is connected from bottom to top in some way.

You haven’t read Detective Conan it seems. At least with One Piece the plot is progressing.
I vaguely remember there was an old line in Conan about how the de-aging poison would kill Shinichi if not reversed soon. Guess they had to conveniently forget that to preserve their commercial mascot.
Omg it’s still ongoing? I remember being a kid, when the anime was on TV. That means the manga should be even older.
I checked a few months ago and they still haven’t caught a single man in black
And how many men in black are there?
I bought volumes 1-40 when I was a kid until I moved out of Asia in the early 2000s… don’t want to look up how many are out now
the plot is progressing

I think it’s more like a soap opera to the Japanese, that’s a guess though. It started in 1998 or 99, which means if you were 5 when you started watching it, you’re in your upper 20’s which is wild. I think there are people that cut out all of the filler of the anime that you can watch and the netflix adaption is about 4 years’ worth.
The Netflix Live action One Piece didn’t even cover all of the East Blue Saga, which ran from 1997 to 1999 originallly.
From what I’ve read, they are framing out 12 seasons.
In the manga you mean? I thought one piece anime was '98 or '99 and I’m going off of that.
INB4 they jump the shark, finds One Piece, but now all of a sudden there’s a Second Piece.
If you’re not reading right now, then you’re missing out on the story of the saddest family in existence.
When did they sail to Roshar?
Like the Bible, I maybe haven’t read every single word, there was the title, something something with a ship and a cross, then a damn long register, but I think, I got the essence. It’s a boring antediluvian scam, kinda like Elon has written it…
Biggest media I’ve followed must be Jojo, and that’s because each part changes the characters and setting, keeping it fresh.
I’m somewhere around 350 episodes I think. My least favorite would be the episodes with a lot of screaming. I know it’s Anime and a bit of that is expected but some get to a whole new level.
I don’t know about you but I watch it at 1.5% with a heavy hand on skipping all recaps. Also yes it reaches near dbz-levels of screaming
it’s viewer’s patience, huh?
