There are many unpaid VPN services at hand or free browser extensions. However, using low-tier VPN providers might decrease your speed and get you blocked by streaming services. Connection drops and unsecured encryption are also other disadvantages.

The important thing is that One Piece is present on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Funimation’s catalogs, so set your VPN to a suitable location to access the anime from anywhere.

It will take around 18 days to complete watching the whole One Piece anime with no breaks in between. However, if you want to watch all the movies, OVAs, and specials, it will take one more day. A saner way would be to distribute the series over two months to get adequate rest in between.

8. FAQ

9. Conclusion

Congratulations on completing this article, and best of luck if you are planning on watching One Piece. I bet your heart needs some preparation before going through the most moving and adrenaline-filled series of the century.

Stick to the recommended watch order for the best experience, and it’s best not to jump between seasons to follow the timeline strictly. You can watch the OVAs, shorts, specials, and movies whenever you want since they don’t necessarily follow the main plot.

The OVAs, specials, and shorts add a fun touch to the anime, and the movies are original masterpieces.

10. About One Piece

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
