With over 1,000 episodes, One Piece<\/em> by Eiichiro Oda is more than just a story about pirates\u2014it\u2019s about friendship, dreams, freedom, and overcoming obstacles. It has become one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time<\/strong>, rivaling global giants like Star Wars<\/em> and Marvel<\/em>. The manga and anime are on another level, but to be able to really enjoy it start with the manga, and then anime. Another thing is that when you start with these series you should be prepared for a long story and rollercoaster of feeling together with everyone. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
