Enough facts, here's a short plot (for those of you, who never got into One Piece
)
The series begins with the execution of Gold Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates. Just before his death, Roger announces that his treasure, the One Piece, will be up for the taking, causing the Great Pirate Era to begin. As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure.
Twenty years have passed since Roger's execution, and Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate, has set off on a journey from the East Blue to succeed Roger and find the treasure. He organizes and leads a nine-member crew named the Straw Hat Pirates. Each crew member Luffy encounters becomes his close friend, including the swordsman Roronoa Zoro, the navigator and thief Nami, the sniper Usopp, the womanizing chef and martial artist Sanji, the doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cybernetic shipwright Franky and the musician skeleton Brook.
