All One Piece arcs in order

Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams!

I won’t sit here and tell you that getting into One Piece is an easy task — it isn’t. Sure, I am mostly caught up with the anime and as of writing, I think I’m a chapter behind on the manga, but it’s taken me six years, more or less, to get here. But, what I will tell you is that I wouldn’t trade the experience of seeing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates progress on their journey for anything.

In the One Piece manga and anime, the story is divided into 11 sagas that are made up of more isolated and focused story arcs. As you talk with other One Piece fans, you’ll learn that everyone has a preference on watching/skipping filler, and depending on your answer, the series might end up being about a hundred episodes lighter than if you were to include fillers.

So, let’s take a look at a — non-spoilery — list of One Piece sagas and story arcs that you’ll encounter in your sea-bound travels. I’ll also mention if any given story arc is considered filler, canon, or anime canon, meaning it’s canon to the events of the anime, and is referenced later on, but isn’t present in the manga. Here are all One Piece arcs in order.

Final Saga

At the time of writing, the manga and anime are covering the Final Saga and it’s so far first and only arc, the Egghead Arc. As such, it’s currently unknown how many arcs this saga will consist of, and whether the anime will need to make any more filler. All we can say for certain is that, after so many years, One Piece is finally nearing its conclusion. Here are all One Piece arcs in the Final Saga:
