One Piece Argument
Argument
The series begins with the execution of Gol D. Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates (海賊王 Kaizokuō?). Shortly before his death, Roger mentions his great legendary treasure, the "One Piece" (ワンピ ー ス「ひとつなぎ の 大秘宝」 Wan Pīsu?), And that it can be taken by anyone who wants it. This marks the beginning of an era known as the Great Pirate Age (大海賊時代 Daikaizokujidai?). As a result, countless pirates sailed to Grand Line to find it.6
Ten years after Roger's death, a young man named Monkey D. Luffy, inspired by his childhood admiration of powerful pirate Shanks "the Redhead", 6 begins his adventure from his home in East Blue to find the One Piece and self-proclaiming himself as the new King of the Pirates. In order to create and become the captain of a crew of his own, the boy founds the Straw Hats band (麦わら海賊団篇 Mugiwara Kaizoku-dan?), Being swordsman Roronoa Zoro the first nakamaNote 1 7 that Luffy rescues And enlist, 6 allowing both to continue their journey to the treasure. Shortly after, Nami, a thief navigator, 8 Usopp, a liar sniper, 9 and Sanji, a womanizer cook will join them in their voyages, 10 in addition to getting a ship called Going Merry. In his travels, the crew confronts several powerful enemies like Buggy the Clown, 11 Captain Kuro12 and Don Krieg.13 The protagonist then fights against the fearsome gyojin Arlong, 14 former crew of the Pirates of the Sun, who thinks the Humans are inferior to those of their species. The captain of the Straw Hats manages to defeat him and Nami is officially accepted as one of his nakamas, and the Navy puts price at the head of the latter.14 The group manages to arrive at Loguetown, a town in Buenos Aires, and Luffy meets a Officer of the Navy called Smoker, who has the ability to turn into smoke, and manages to capture him, but is stopped by Monkey D. Dragon, Luffy's father, although he does not recognize it.15 After finally arriving at Grand Line, The group meets Nefeltari Vivi, a princess who wants to save her country, the Kingdom of Alabasta, from a dangerous criminal organization called Baroque Works.16 During their journey to Alabasta, pirates head a revolt on the island of Drum, where Hats Straw invites an anthropomorphic medical reindeer named Tony Tony Chopper to join the group, and he accepts.
Once the crew reaches Alabasta, they begin a series of battles against the Baroque Works and their leader, the Shichibukai Sir Crocodile. Luffy finally defeats Crocodile and releases Alabasta. Immediately after, Nico Robin, an archaeologist who previously belonged to Baroque Works, joins the crew. They also know "Blackbeard", alias Marshal D. Teach, who also aspires to become the King of the Pirates. The crew travels to a floating island called Skypea where, unintentionally, they join an incipient war between two tribes inhabiting that place, which leads them to face the island leader, Enel, who owns the power to create lightning and electricity. Luffy manages to defeat him and, with it, the war ends. A Navy admiral named Aokiji appears to them and tells them that Robin has been involved in the search for archaic stones called "Poneglyphs", which were created by an ancient civilization in which the history is encrypted that the World Government Erased the world more than 100 years ago. The Straw Hats arrive at Water 7, where they meet a cyborg named Franky who builds boats; There, they are informed that the Going Merry is damaged and can not be repaired, which causes Usopp to temporarily resign the crew. However, Cipher Pol No. 9, the World Government intelligence agency, captures Robin and Franky in order for them to disclose information about the use of Poneglyphs and the ancestral weapons they may contain. Franky manages to get rid of the Government by burning the planes containing the designs of one of these weapons, and joins the Straw Hats to declare war on the Government itself, resulting in a series of fights between the Pirates and the CP9. At the end of the final battle against the agents, the crew manages to rescue Robin. Franky also builds a new boat, called the Thousand Sunny, in order to replace the lost Going Merry, and with that, he finally joins the Straw Hats. After this, the pirates encounter a ghost ship, where they meet Brook, a skeletal musician who was revived with a Devil Fruit, and in addition, whom Gecko Moriah, another Shichibukai and captain of the gigantic pirate ship Thriller Bark, Stole his shadow. Once the pirates defeat Moriah, Brook joins them.
While there, crew members become friends with Silvers Rayleigh, the former vice captain of Roger's pirate crew, and ask him to cover his ship so he can cross Red Line through the ocean floor. There, the Straw Hats are involved in a riot caused by a tenryūbito; To end the uproar, one of the Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma, a cyborg controlled by the Navy, separates them, sending them to different places through their powers. Meanwhile, Luffy arrives on an aphrodisiac island called Amazon Lily, where only women live. Once the boy learns that Portgas D. Ace is in danger, as his soul brother is, he will rescue him immediately, receiving help from Boa Hancok, my platonic love,
Sagas and plot arcs
One Piece manga and anime is one of the longest Japanese manga works ever. That is why the author decided to divide the argument into two main parts: "Survival Sea: Saga of Supernovas" and "The Final Sea: Saga of the New World." These two parts are divided at the same time into different sagas that group different arcs of the history (27 until now), besides arcs of filling (12 until now). In the first part of the story (Sea of Survival: Saga of the Supernovas), we find six different sagas, with their respective arcs of history and filling that tell us the beginning of the band of the Straw Hat and its captain : Monkey D. Luffy and all his adventures through the East Blue and of Grand Line until after the war of Marineford.XD
Aspects of the series
The story of One Piece tells the adventures of a crew of pirates who embark to find a treasure called the One Piece. Although most of the characters are navigators, they are distinguished from the Navy, which is an organization in charge of controlling and keeping appeased pirates that wreak havoc on neutral islands, towns and cities; However, in the series shows that the World Government, the organization that administers the Navy, is under corruption and manipulation. Also, the series includes to diverse personages that possess different abilities and powers. The world of One Piece is inhabited by humans, including various types of exotic breeds such as the gyojin or tritons-hybrids that look like fish-giants and fictional animals. Recently a new breed has been known: the "Mink" anthropomorphic animals composed only of animals with fur, all are great warriors without exception, also possess a strong sense of loyalty and a skill called "Electro" that allows them to launch a kind of discharge . Some of the characters that appear are based on some famous real-life pirates. 18
Geographically it is covered by two vast oceans that are divided by a massive conglomeration of mountains, that receive the name of the Red Line (赤い土 の 大陸 (レッドライン) Reddo Rain?) 19 Also, the Grand Line (グランドラインなる航路) Gurando Rain?) Is an ocean flowing perpendicular to the Red Line, allowing the world to be divided into four main sections: the North Blue (北 ー スブル ー N 海 海 海 ) Blue (東 ー 海 海 海 Ī Ī), the West Blue
ブル ー (西 の 海) Uesuto Burū?) And the South Blue (サウスブル ー 海 海 海) Sausu Burū?). , They circulate in parallel way to the Grand Line, something similar to what happens with the latitudes of horse; The reason why they are called so, is because they do not present any meteorological phenomenon, such as wind or rain making it almost impossible to transit them and therefore, to reach the Gran Line through them, mainly because in their waters live in a way (海王類 kaiōrui?) .21 However, the only ships capable of passing through them are those of the Navy, since they are covered with a special material consisting of stones of the seabed (<unk>楼石 kairōseki?), A special mineral that emits the same energy as the sea, which allows them to cover their presence, allowing the sea kings to ignore them altogether., 22 However, the most used way to reach the Grand Line Is through a system of channels that connects the four seas, whose flow converges in the tip of Reverse Mountain (リヴァ ー ス · マウンテン Rivāsu Maunten?), Converging in a fifth channel, leading to the first half of the Grand Line. This is because the mountain in question is located at one of the two intersections between the Grand Line and the Red Line.23 The other half of the Grand Line, which is located after the second intersection, is known by its name Of the "New World" (新世界 Shin Sekai?
The currents and climate of the Grand Line are usually extremely unpredictable, although the surrounding islands also influence the climate of the area.25 The magnetic fields of the Grand Line cause conventional compasses not to work, That the navigation turns out to be more complicated than normal, 26 instead, a special compass called Log Pose (ログポ ー ス Rogu Pōsu?) Should be used.27 The Log Pose works as follows: it locates a magnetic point on some island , And once there, this guard indicates the magnetic signal of the next nearest island in a variable time period.28 29 This mechanism can be ignored if one has an Eternal Pose (エタ ー ナルポ ー ス Etānaru Pōsu?), A variation Of the Log Pose that permanently indicates the location of a specific island without any variation.
Arguments
Various One Piece instruments are a mixture of real objects and science fiction devices, such as Den-Den Mushi (電伝虫? Lit. "electric transfer through insects"), snail-like animals that Are connected to electrical machines and operate as telephones, surveillance camcorders, fax machines and other similar devices.31 32 The dials (貝 (ダイアル)?) Are a type of shells that come from an animal species that lives in The sky, and are able to store kinetic energy, wind, sound, images, heat, and the like, being used in very different ways.33
The Akuma no mi (悪魔 の 実? Lit. "Fruits of the Devil" or "Nuts of Beelzebub" - this last one in the Spanish version of the anime) are a type of fruits that, if ingested, grant superhuman powers to whom the Consuma.34 There are three main types: 35
• Zoan (ゾオン (動物系)?): This type of fruit allows its user to transform, either partially or totally into a specific animal; Although these may be real-life animals, there are also users who can mutate into mythological creatures such as the phoenix or in prehistoric animals such as dinosaurs.36
• Loggia (ロギア (自然系)?): This class gives the user skills "capable of transforming their body into the element the fruit represents", making it immune to physical attacks, is the most powerful type of fruit between the three , But this type of fruit can be counteracted by users of armor haki.
• Paramecia (パラミシア (超人系)?) This category is similar to the previous one, although it only gives superhuman powers to the one who has consumed. These powers have to do with the physical body, manipulate the environment or produce some kind of substance. It is the most common of the three,
Within history, it is only mentioned that these fruits are the very incarnations of the Devil of the Sea and that therefore the users of the Fruits are unable to swim or to remain a long time in sea water, since "the The ocean hates them. "37 The kairōseki has the same effect. When a user is partially submerged in sea water, it overrides all their power and coordination, although in some cases the ability is still active, as in the case of Luffy, who is able to stretch even though he is completely underwater. However, rain or rivers do not have the same effect. When a person with the power of the Devil Fruit dies, their powers are reincarnated again in another Fruit of the Devil equal to the original, reborn again in any normal fruit that is closest to the place of death of the user in question. Likewise, users of Devil Fruit can access an "awakened" level of their power, where it can transform any object around them except for their own body. 38
Another skill, called "Haki" (覇気? Lit. "ambition") is a latent power that is found in all living beings in the world of One Piece, although in most of them it is in a state of rest. However, a latent disadvantage of the Haki is that if it gets to use frequently, it will stop working for a certain period of time. There are three main varieties of Haki:
• Kenbunshoku no Haki (見聞色 の 覇気? Lit. "Ambition with Observation Characteristics"): This type allows to perceive the presence of other beings and also to predict what their movements will be.39
• Busōshoku no Haki (武装色 の 覇気? Lit. "Ambition with Armor Characteristics"): This type allows to create a kind of unbreakable armor that allows to hit any user of a Devil Fruit that modifies the properties of his body, for Example being capable of damaging a man whose body is normally ethereal and invulnerable to common physical attacks.
• Haōshoku no Haki (覇王色 の 覇気? Lit. "Ambition with Conquistador Characteristics"): The only type of Haki that can not be trained, but who owns it must have been born with it. It allows its user to intimidate those beings who have weak will power, leaving unconscious any individual who is close to who owns it.
