Luffy, a young man who, inspired by his childhood idol and powerful pirate Red Haired Shanks, sets off on a journey from the East Blue Sea to find the famed treasure One Piece and proclaim himself the King of the Pirates. In an effort to organize his own crew, the Straw Hat Pirates,Mugiwara Kaizoku dan, Luffy rescues and befriends a swordsman named Roronoa Zoro, and they head off in search of the One Piece. They are joined in their journey by Nami, a navigator and thief Usopp, a sniper and a liar and Vinsmoke Sanji, a womanizing chef who is also a prince from a family of Royal Assasins. They acquire a ship named the Going Merry and engage in confrontations with notorious pirates of the East Blue. As Luffy and his crew set out on their adventures, others join the crew later in the series, including the doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer Tony Tony Chopper, an archaeologist and former assassin Nico Robin, a cyborg shipwright Franky, and skeletal musician Brook with a new upgrade ship named Thousand Sunny. Setting edit. The globe of the One Piece world. The world of One Piece is populated by humans and many other races such as fishmen a race of fishhuman hybrids, similar to mermen and mermaids, dwarves, Minkmen a race of humanoid animals, and giants. It is covered by two vast oceans, which are divided by a massive mountain range called the Red Line ,Reddo Rain, which is also the only continent in the world. The Grand Line ,Gurando Rain, a sea that runs perpendicular to the Red Line, further divides them into four seas North Blue ,Nsu Bur, East Blue ,suto Bur, West Blue ,Uesuto Bur and South Blue ,Sausu Bur. Surrounding the Grand Line are two regions called Calm Belts ,kmu beruto, similar to horse latitudes, which experience almost no wind or ocean currents and are the breeding ground for huge sea creatures called neptunians ,kairui, lit. Because of this, the calm belts are very effective barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line. However, navy ships, members of an intergovernmental organization known as the World Government, are able to use a sea prism stone ,kairseki to mask their presence from the sea kings and can simply pass through the calm belts. All other ships are forced to take a more dangerous route, going through a mountain at the first intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Line, a canal system known as Reverse Mountain ,Rivsu Maunten. Sea water from each of the four seas runs up that mountain and merges at the top to flow down a fifth canal and into the first half of the Grand Line. The second half of the Grand Line, beyond the second intersection with the Red Line, is known as the New World ,Shin Sekai. The currents and weather of the Grand Lines open sea are extremely unpredictable, whereas in the vicinity of islands the climate is stable. The magnetic fields within the Grand Line cause normal compasses to malfunction, making it even more difficult to navigate,8 and instead a special compass called a Log Pose ,Rogu Psu must be used. The Log Pose functions by locking on to one islands magnetic field and then locking on to another islands magnetic field. The time for it to set depends on the island. This process can be bypassed by obtaining an Eternal Pose ,Etnaru Psu, a Log Pose variation that is permanently set to a specific island and never changes. The world of One Piece includes anachronisms, such as the Transponder Snails ,Den Den Mushi, snail like animals that can be attached to electric equipment and function as rotary phones,1. Dials ,daiaru, the shells of certain sky dwelling animals, can be used to store kinetic energy, wind, sound, images, heat, and the like and have various applications. Devil FruitseditA Devil Fruit ,Akuma no Mi is a type of fruit that, when eaten, confers a power to the consumer. There are three categories of Devil Fruits 1. Zoan ,Zoon fruits allow the user to fully or partially transform into a specific animal. As well as real life animals, some Zoan fruits allow the user to transform into mythical creatures. Logia ,Rogia fruits give control over, and allow the user to change their living body structure into the powers of nature. Paramecia ,Paramishia is a category of fruits that give the user superhuman abilities. Devil Fruits are said to be incarnations of the sea devil himself, and as a result, Devil Fruit users cannot swim in sea water, as they are hated by the sea. Sea prism stone also has this effect.
