1-Defination

ONE PIECE (ワンピース Wan Pīsu?) is a pirate adventure manga written and drawn by Eiichiro Oda, created in July 1997. The manga is known to employ colorful and creative motifs that are taken from classic mythology, politics and musical aspects. It is also mixed with pirate lore and shonen formula.

One Piece is divided into two halves: Sea of Survival: Super Rookies Saga (サバイバルの海 超新星編Sabaibaru no Umi: Chōshinsei-hen?), and The Final Sea: The New World Saga (最後の海 新世界編 Saigo no Umi: Shinsekai-hen?).

2-The whole History 

Eiichiro Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump at a young age. As a child he was inspired by the animated series Vicky the Viking and wanted to draw a pirate manga series.[2] Later, he created Pandaman for Yudetamago's Kinnikuman. In 1992, Oda at the age of 17, submitted the manga called Wanted!. This got him notice to join the staff, at the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, where he became an assistant under several established manga writers including Shinobu Kaitani, Masaya Tokuhiro and finally Nobuhiro Watsuki.

Oda had interest in making a pirate manga both from his obsession with vikings as a young man and inspired by various pirate events including the discovery of the pirate ship of Edward Teach (known by his pirate name of "Blackbeard"). He wrote two separate one-shots in the mid-1990s, both of which were called "Romance Dawn". The stories introduced Monkey D. Luffy, a straw-hat wearing boy who set out to sea to become a legendary pirate. Several concepts of the eventual serialization appeared in these stories, including Luffy's inspiration for being a pirate and a mysterious power he gained from eating a special fruit that turned his body into rubber (a prototype for the Devil Fruit).

In August 1997, Oda took many of his "Romance Dawn" ideas and started using them in a weekly serial under the title "One Piece". It was first serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, the weekly shonen magazine owned by Shueisha. The series quickly caught on and became popular from the initial chapters on, establishing itself as one of the premiere manga series in the magazine.

Originally, Oda wanted his series to run for 5 years (meaning One Piece could have ended in 2002), but he went longer than expected and has no idea how many more years his story will be. However, it should be noted that Oda has stated that the end of Chapter 597 marks the end of the first half of One Piece. Oda has already planned the ending for One Piece. Despite how long it will take him to complete it, he will end One Piece the way he planned from the start.

3-style of manga

At the time of its release, the dot-eyed style of artwork seen in anime like Dragon Ball was becoming less popular and manga and anime seemed to be moving over for the more popular big-eyes style of drawing, made famous by shows like Sailor Moon. Eiichiro Oda was fully aware of the change of art style and was worried early on in its run that his style would put off people from reading his manga. As time progressed and One Piece's popularity grew, Oda was able to relax the style more, resulting in One Piece's drawing style becoming much more loose and kinetic. During One Piece's early run, the characters had a somewhat more cartoonish and roundish design

As well as its unusual art style, the style of weird drawn characters had been another worry of Oda. Another problem at the time of early production was that the Bishie was becoming a popular form of manga character depiction and "ugly" or "weird" manga characters were becoming significantly harder to sell. However, these character designs have since become one of One Piece's selling points, allowing more eccentric characters to be drawn.

3-English writting 

As One Piece began growing in popularity, it received English translations as it became more popular in the West.

VIZ MediaEdit

VIZ Media is the sole provider of officially translated One Piece material. It began publishing translated chapters in Shonen Jump magazine in November 2002 and publishing translated volumes in June 2003. While not censoring as many details as their anime counterpart 4Kids Entertainment did, VIZ has used some 4Kids names earlier on, the most famous of those being changing Roronoa Zoro's name to Zolo, a practice they still continue in order to maintain continuity.

Fan ScanlationsEdit

Fan scanlations occur when someone steals One Piece manga before it before it is put on shelves, usually people involved in the shipping process. They scan the pages, translate the words into another language, and post it online. Some fan scanlators have released chapters a few days before they are sold in stores. The practice is illegal and can lead to the arrest of any perpetrators. Also, the quality of the translations completely depend on the skill of the translator, and most scanlations are of a much lower picture quality than officially released material. However, not all countries can buy One Piece from stores, leaving scanlations as their only source to read the manga.

Have a Good Day To All One Piece Fans ^^
