A ‘One Piece’ Fan’s Guide to Every Arc in the Series

I’m going to write this article, then I’m going to Mary sue you for giving me carpal tunnel.

Why would you make me do this? Surely you can’t possibly be this cruel? One Piece is over 1,000 episodes long—20 seasons and counting. And you want me to write ALL of the arcs out? THAT’S TOO MANY ARCS. What if I just do the main story and the good filler? What about just the sagas and you can figure the rest out for yourself? What’s a “saga,” you ask? A saga is what happens when a series has SO MANY ARCS that it needs SUPER ARCS to keep track of them all. A saga is basically that: a super arc.

So how about it? Why not just the sagas? Who needs all those silly little arcs anyway? It’s ridiculous! Almost as ridiculous as a watch guide demanding I list every episode of the series by name … don’t even think about it.

Okay, here’s what you need to know about this breakdown: One Piece is split into two halves, each containing multiple sagas, and each saga containing multiple arcs. We’ve noted the corresponding manga chapters and anime episodes for each arc. The One Piece movies are italicized.
