 Plot :-

The series focuses on Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who, inspired by his childhood idol and powerful pirate "Red Haired" Shanks, sets off on a journey from the East Blue Sea to find the titular treasure and proclaim himself the King of the Pirates. In an effort to organize his own crew, the Straw Hat Pirates,^{[Jp 1]} Luffy rescues and befriends a swordsman named Roronoa Zoro, and they head off in search of the One Piece. They are joined in their journey by Nami, a navigator and thief; Usopp, a sniper and a pathological liar; and Vinsmoke Sanji, a womanizing chef. They acquire a ship named the Going Merry^{[Jp 2]} and engage in confrontations with notorious pirates of the East Blue. As Luffy and his crew set out on their adventures, others join the crew later in the series, including Tony Tony Chopper, a doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer; Nico Robin, an archaeologist and former assassin; Franky, a cyborg shipwright; Brook, a skeletal musician and swordsman; and Jimbei, a fish-man helmsman and former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Once the Going Merry becomes damaged beyond repair, the Straw Hat Pirates acquire a new ship named the Thousand Sunny.^{[Jp 3]} Together, they encounter other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the corrupt World Government, and various other friends and foes, as they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams.

Setting

Geography

The globe of the One Piece world

The world of One Piece is populated by humans and many other races, such as fish-men and merfolk (two races of fish/human hybrids), dwarves, minks (a race of humanoids with animal features), and giants. It is covered by two vast oceans, which are divided by a massive mountain range called the Red Line,^{[Jp 4]} which is also the only continent in the world.^[2] The Grand Line,^{[Jp 5]} a sea that runs perpendicular to the Red Line, further divides them into four seas: North Blue,^{[Jp 6]} East Blue,^{[Jp 7]} West Blue,^{[Jp 8]} and South Blue.^{[Jp 9][3]} Surrounding the Grand Line are two regions called Calm Belts,^{[Jp 10]} similar to horse latitudes, which experience almost no wind or ocean currents and are the breeding ground for huge sea creatures called sea kings^{[Jp 11]}. Because of this, the calm belts are very effective barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line.^[4] However, navy ships, members of an intergovernmental organization known as the World Government, are able to use a sea-prism stone^{[Jp 12]} to mask their presence from the sea kings and can simply pass through the calm belts. All other ships are forced to take a more dangerous route, going through a mountain at the first intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Line, a canal system known as Reverse Mountain.^{[Jp 13][5]} Sea water from each of the four seas runs up that mountain and merges at the top to flow down a fifth canal and into the first half of the Grand Line, called Paradise because how it compared to the second half.^[6] The second half of the Grand Line, beyond the second intersection with the Red Line, is known as the New World.^{[Jp 14][7]}

The currents and weather of the Grand Line's open sea are extremely unpredictable, whereas in the vicinity of islands the climate is stable.^[8] The magnetic fields within the Grand Line cause normal compasses to malfunction, making it even more difficult to navigate,^[9] and instead a special compass called a Log Pose^{[Jp 15]} must be used.^[10] The Log Pose functions by locking on to one island's magnetic field and then locking on to another island's magnetic field.^[11] The time for it to set depends on the island.^[12] This process can be bypassed by obtaining an Eternal Pose,^{[Jp 16]} a Log Pose variation that is permanently set to a specific island and never changes.^[13]

The world of One Piece includes animals that function like devices. Transponder Snails^{[Jp 17]} are snail-like animals that act like a rotary phone, fax machine, or camera.^[14][15] Dials,^{[Jp 18]} the shells of certain sky-dwelling animals, can be used to store kinetic energy, wind, sound, images, heat, and the like and have various applications.^[16]

Devil Fruits

A Devil Fruit^{[Jp 19]} is a type of fruit that, when eaten, grants a power to the eater.^[17] A person may only eat one Devil Fruit during their lifetime, as eating a second Devil Fruit will swiftly end their life.^[18]

There are three categories of Devil Fruits;^[19]

• Paramecia^{[Jp 20]} is a category of fruits that gives the user superhuman abilities, such as Luffy's rubber powers.^[20]
• Zoan^{[Jp 21]} fruits allow the user to fully or partially transform into a specific animal like the Human-Human Fruit enabling the reindeer Tony Tony Chopper to have his anthropomorphic appearance. Certain Zoan fruits allow the user to transform into mythical creatures. There are even Ancient Devil Fruits that enable a user to turn into a prehistoric animal like X Drake's fruit enabling him to transform into an Allosaurus. Through an unknown technique developed by scientist Dr. Vegapunk, inanimate objects can also "eat" a Devil Fruit such as Spandam's sword Funkfreed which can transform into an elephant.^[21]
• Logia^{[Jp 22]} fruits give control over and allow the user "to change their living body structure into the powers of nature", like Smoker's control over smoke, Ace's control over fire, and Sir Crocodile's control over sand.^[19]

Devil Fruits are said to be incarnations of the sea devil himself and as a result, Devil Fruit users cannot swim in sea water as "they are hated by the sea".^[22] When even partially submerged in sea water, they lose all their strength and coordination, although some abilities remain. For example, Luffy is still able to stretch after being totally submerged. Sea-prism stone also has this effect. Moving water, such as rain or waves, does not have this effect. When a Devil Fruit user dies, the powers reincarnate into a new Devil Fruit. For unknown reasons, Devil Fruit users cannot eat a second Devil Fruit because it would cause their bodies to burst, although series antagonist Blackbeard manages to obtain a second Devil Fruit power through an unknown method. Devil Fruit powers can also be "awakened", greatly increasing the power and utility of the user's abilities.^[23]

There is also an artificial Devil Fruit created by Caesar Clown called the SMILE which enables the user to obtain the abilities of a specific animal, but having only partially a part of the animal such as the legs, ears, or the head protruding from any limb of the body, like the head of an animal in the stomach or in place of the hand, wings in the head or the waist, or an animal appearing in place of their legs.

Haki

Haki (覇気, lit. "Ambition") is a latent ability that every living being in the world of One Piece possesses; very few manage to awaken it, and even fewer master it. There are three varieties of Haki: Color of Observation (見聞色の覇気, Kenbunshoku no Haki) allows one to sense the presence of other beings and to have a form of limited precognition. Color of Arms (武装色の覇気, Busōshoku no Haki) allows one to envelop body parts and even inanimate forms with a force akin to an invisible armor that possesses defensive and offensive properties. It also allows one to inflict harm upon Devil Fruit users. The rare Color of the Supreme King (覇王色の覇気, Haōshoku no Haki) is an ability that, unlike the other two Haki, only a few gifted people have. The Color of the Supreme King enables one to overpower the will of the weak-willed. It can be used to force others into submission or even render victims unconscious. Strong-willed people can withstand, or even completely ignore, the effects of this Haki, even if they do not possess the ability themselves. This Haki can also have physical impacts, such as causing shock waves and destruction to the user's surroundings.
