One Piece hub

One Piece characters.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is still running, and the anime trails the manga by a wide margin. These profiles cover what the story has shown so far and keep the anime and the manga apart: the manga has moved well past the Egghead arc, while the anime is still working through it. Anything beyond the anime’s current episode is folded away behind the spoiler selector.

  • 5 profiles
  • 26 mapped relationships
  • 31 timeline events

Revelations that change how the story reads are folded away. Choose how far you have got to unfold everything up to that point. Your choice stays on this device.

What this covers. Manga: Ongoing: chapters 1–1125 for the Egghead arc, with later chapters not covered here. Anime: Episodes 1–1155 (through the Egghead arc). Checked October 29, 2026.

The rules that govern fights in One Piece, and an index of every ability profiled here. Each entry links to the character page, where its strengths, limits and battles are written out.

Devil Fruits

Fruit that grants its eater a power at the permanent cost of being able to swim. The three families are Paramecia, Zoan and Logia.

How it works

  • A Devil Fruit user cannot swim, and seawater weakens them.
  • Only one Devil Fruit can be held at a time.
  • Some users can awaken their fruit to extend its effects beyond their body.

Limits

  • Seastone and sea water weaken or neutralise users.

Introduced: Ep. 4 · ch. 1

Haki

A form of spirit that can be trained. It comes in three kinds: Observation, Armament and Conqueror’s (Supreme King) Haki.

How it works

  • Armament Haki hardens the user’s body or weapon and lets it affect Logia users.
  • Observation Haki senses the presence and emotions of living beings.
  • Conqueror’s Haki can overpower the will of others, and only a few people have it.

Limits

  • It takes training to use well, and uses up the user’s spirit.

Introduced: Ep. 516 · ch. 597
