One Piece has received wide crucial acclaim from reviewers, primarily for the art, characterization, humor and story. The series begins with the execution of Gold Roger, a guy known as the King of the Pirates (海賊王 Kaizokuō? ). Just before his death, Roger announces which his treasure, the One Part (ひとつなぎの大秘宝 (ワンピース) Wan Pīsu? ), will be up for the taking, evoking the Great Pirate Era (大海賊時代 Dai Kaizoku Jidai? ) to start. As a result, numerous pirates set out to the Grand Collection to look for the treasure. Twenty-two years have passed because Roger's execution, and Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate inspired by Red Haired Shanks, has given that set off on a journey from your East Blue Ocean to succeed Roger and find the legendary treasure. He organizes and leads any nine-member crew named the Straw Hat Cutthroat buccaneers. Each crew member Luffy encounters ultimately become his close friends, such as the swordsman Roronoa Zoro, the actual navigator and thief Nami, the sniper Usopp, the womanizing chef and also martial artist Sanji, the doctor and also anthropomorphized reindeer Tony Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the particular cyborg shipwright Franky, and the artist skeleton Brook. The crew last longer than paths with diverse villains, like Buggy the Clown, many of the Seven Warlords of the Marine, the Navy, who location bounties on Luffy's, Zoro's, and eventually the rest of the crew's mind, and Arlong, a fishman and also member of the former Sun Pirates. They encounter Baroque Works, the particular crime syndicate responsible for a civil war in the desert kingdom associated with Alabasta, along with fellow pirate Blackbeard, whose dream is also to be the King of the Buccaneers. The crew furthermore confronts Enel, the ruler in the floating island Skypiea. Later, the crew meets the dark blue admiral Aokiji, who reveals that Robin the boy wonder was involved in looking for Poneglyphs, stones with markings kept by an ancient civilization. The crew also encounters Cipher Pol No . nine, the intelligence agency responsible for the particular destruction of Robin's homeland, who will cause the pirates to declare war on the entire world Government. After an epic struggle at Enies Lobby, the crew defeats CP9 - saving Robin and avenging the lives lost in the damage. Some time later, the actual crew prepares to sail off towards the New World, the second half the Grand Line. The staff eventually gets separated during a fight with Bartholomew Kuma at the Sabaody Archipelago. At the same time, the actual navy sentences Luffy's older buddie, Portgas D. Ace, to be executed, and hold a warfare against a group of pirates led by Whitebeard. Luffy rescues Ace, but both Whitebeard and Ace are killed in the ensuing chaos. Later on, Luffy and the crew undergo rigorous training regimens, some under the tutelage of prominent figures. Two years later, the crew regroups and also journeys to Fishman Island to enter the brand new World. At the same time, several evil fishman pirates show up, and holds a coup d'état to choose the fate of the tropical isle, but are eventually defeated from the Straw Hats alongside Jimbei. The particular Straw Hats leave Fishman Island and lastly reach the New World, although not before starting a feud using the legendary pirate Big Mom. Their own first destination is the burning island Jerk Hazard. The world of One Piece is populated by humans and many human-like lifeforms, including mermen and also mermaids; "fishmen", fish-human hybrids; and giants. It is included in two vast oceans, which are divided by a massive mountain variety called the Red Line (赤い土の大陸（レッドライン） Reddo Rainfall? ). [4] The Grand Series (偉大なる航路（グランドライン） Gurando Rain), a sea which runs perpendicular to the Red Line, further divides them into four oceans: North Azure (北の海（ノースブルー） Nōsu Burū), East Azure (東の海（イーストブルー） Īsuto Burū), West Blue (西の海（ウェストブルー） Uesuto Burū) and South Azure (南の海（サウスブルー） Sausu Burū). [5] Surrounding the Grand Line are two regions called Peaceful Belts (凪の帯（カームベルト） kāmu beruto), which knowledge almost no wind and ocean currents and therefore are breeding ground for the huge sea creatures called neptunians (海王類 kaiōrui, lit up. "sea kings"). Due to this, the calm belts are amazing barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line. [6] While marine ships, utilizing sea-prism stone (海楼石 kairōseki) to mask their own presence, can simply pass through, [7] most have to utilize the canal system of Reverse Hill (リヴァース・マウンテン Rivāsu Maunten), a mountain on the first intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Line. Sea drinking water from each of the four seas works up that mountain and merges towards the top to flow down a fifth canal and into the first half the Grand Line. [8] The next half of the Grand Series, beyond the second intersection using the Red Line, is also called the New World (新世界 Shin Sekai). [9] The currents and also weather on the Grand Line's open sea are extremely unpredictable, whereas near islands the climate will be stable. [10] What makes it even harder to navigate is the fact that normal compasses tend not to work there. [11] A unique compass called a Log Create (記録指針（ログポース） Rogu Pōsu? ) must be used. [12] The Log Create works by locking on to One island's magnetic field and then locking on to another island's magnetic industry. [13] The time for it to put depends on the island. [14] This process could be bypassed by obtaining an Eternal Present (永久指針（エターナルポース） Etānaru Pōsu), a Log Create variation that is permanently set to a specific island and never changes. [15] The world of One Piece is filled with anachronisms, just like the Transponder Snails (電伝虫 Den-Den Mushi? ), snail-like animals that can be attached to electric gear and function as rotary phones, [16] fax machines, [16] security cameras, [17] and similar gadgets. [17] Dials (貝（ダイアル） daiaru), the actual shells of certain sky-dwelling animals, may be used to store wind, sound, images, heat, etc and have various applications. [18] A Devil Fresh fruit (悪魔の実 Akuma no Mi) is a form of fruit which when eaten confers an electrical on the eater. [19] You can find three categories of Devil Fruit. [20] Zoan (動物系（ゾオン） Zoon) fruits enable the user to fully and partially change into a specific animal. [21] Logia (自然系（ロギア） Rogia) fruits give control over and allow the user "to change their living body structure to the powers regarding nature". [20] Paramecia (超人系（パラミシア） Paramishia) is a catch-all category for fruits giving the user superhuman abilities. [22] They are considered 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". [23] When even partly submerged in sea water, they shed all of their strength and skill, although some abilities remain, like Luffy still being able to extend after being totally submerged. "Moving" h2o, such as rain or waves, does not have this impact. [24] Haki (覇気?, lighted. "Ambition") is an ability every living being in the world of One Item possesses. It comes in three varieties: Color of Statement Haki (見聞色の覇気 Kenbunshoku no Haki) allows to be able to sense the presence of other beings and predict their movement, Color of Hands Haki (武装色の覇気 Busōshoku no Haki) allows One harden one's body, and the rare Color of the Supreme Cal . king (覇王色の覇気 Haōshoku no Haki) enables one to render beings of weak determination subconscious.
