What nobody tells you about One Piece is that yes, it's a long story, more than 1000 episodes and chapters (and is still ongoing).
And yes, this has been going on for over 27 years, but my dear friend, the focus of this long fantasy is found family!!
So imagine my shock when I discovered, after watching the opla first and then the anime, that this is just a manga/anime version of the million words of fanfic I've been consuming????
But with SO much originality and world building and let me say again, FOUND FAMILY!!!!!!!
Like, I don't think people understand how much One Piece was made for me, but I never knew about this wonderful story because all people talk about is how long it is and the fights. 😭😭😭😭
