The comic has driven Japan mental for almost a decade. The show has ping-ponged around the US cable networks as the comic is published in the nation's most popular anthology, Shonen Jump. But the bizarre saga of the Straw Hat Pirates... well, maybe it should be played to be believed.
For those who've somehow avoided the phenomenon, One Piece is a long-running series that takes place in a steampunk-style world of endless oceans. The Age of Piracy is at its peak, and One Piece follows the adventures of a young group of sea-faring scoundrels known as the Straw Hat Pirates. Lead by rubber-bodied Monkey D. Luffy and his creepy-ass 100 yard stare, the Straw Hats sail the seas seeking adventure and trying to discover the location of One Piece, the ultimate treasure of the legendary pirate Gold Roger.
