In 1997, Eiichiro Oda penned the renowned manga series, One Piece, which stands as the best-selling manga ever published. The narrative revolves around Monkey D.

Accompanied by numerous dangers, he amasses an eclectic crew, searches for a suitable ship, and traverses treacherous waters while evading the Marines and rival pirates in pursuit of his goal.
