For over a quarter of a century, One Piece continues to excite readers with some of the most engaging story arcs ever put on print. Luffy’s grand adventures take his pirate crew across vast stretches of ocean so they could find Gol D. Roger’s legendary treasure. With over 516.6 million copies sold globally, which averages 4.78 million per volume, Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece remains the undisputed king of shonen manga sales.
Over a thousand chapters later, the One Piece manga still has staying power with its story arcs, mainly due to their unique blend of comedy and drama. Oda will often make readers laugh and cry with his amusingly unconventional humor and deep social critiques. Whether it’s a mass prison breakout or the overthrow of corrupt dictatorships, Luffy’s journey is fraught with dangerous excitement, which is why many story arcs hit their mark with readers.
For many One Piece manga readers, the Arlong Park arc is what really got them into the story in the first place. The stakes are truly raised when the Straw Hats must rescue Nami from the vile clutches of her abusive captor Arlong, who ruined her family’s entire life with his cruel actions over the past several years. From start to finish, this entire arc will captivate audiences with impactful fight scenes and character driven scenarios.
