15 Best One Piece Anime Arcs, Ranked
----- ADS-----
One Piece stands as one of the best shōnen anime series of all time, but despite the cohesiveness of its narrative, the series isn’t one giant story arc. This franchise is almost like an anthology, and it takes Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew on various adventures all over their fictional world. As a result, One Piece‘s journey is often divided into sagas, each of which is broken up into shorter story arcs, such as the Wano Arc and the Jaya Arc.
A One Piece story arc generally encompasses the overarching narrative that takes place on a single island (with a few notable exceptions). Following the Wano Country arc, the One Piece anime has 36 canon story arcs, the Egghead Island arc being the most recent. Although all One Piece arcs are enjoyable, some have proven their value thanks to fantastic world-building, incredible action sequences, intriguing plot development and unique, memorable moments.
Updated on July 23, 2024 by Natasha Elder: One Piece continues to be thrilling as Egghead continues on. In light of the new developments, we wanted to take another look at previous arcs in order to discuss more of them, as well as elaborate on the importance of the ones already included in this list. Additionally, we wanted to add more images to better capture the magnificent worldbuilding in each arc.
