One Piece, by Eiichiro Oda, is a Shonen manga in Weekly Shonen Jump. It follows Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate captain with rubber-like stretching powers, in a fantasy world. The plot and storyline have evolved significantly over time with over a thousand chapters since 1997.
The story in One Piece is categorized into sagas, which are collectively divided into two halves—the “Sea of Survival: Super Rookies Saga” and “The Final Sea: The New World Saga.”
Within each saga, the narrative is further divided into story arcs, which serve as self-contained adventures with their own unique challenges and objectives for Luffy and his Straw Hat crew. These story arcs are in turn broken down into individual chapters.
