Above-The more recent crew of the Going Merry-the ship that carries our Straw Hats on their endless quest for adventure & the One Piece.

One Piece is an idea, a manga, anime and now live-action series (Netflix) that “only comes along every once in a while”. The popularity continues to grow with each passing year and season. Revolving around a search for Gold Roger’s treasure called the “One Piece” thought to be in the Grand Line. An area of the oceans where many have gone but not so many return from there.

Its universe is expansive and massive and that continues to grow as well with each tale (story arch) that is told. New friends & crew are added as well. Newly added aside from Usopp, Nami, Zorro, Sanji and Luffy are Franky the cyborg, Chopper, skeleton/ghost-Brook, Nico Robin-an explorer….and more.

Above- here is just a sampling of the villainess rogues that make up part of the One-Piece universe.

****The rogues include a clown pirate who CAN split his up and control those parts to do his bidding…sometimes on the right but more times than not he is a villain-Buggy’s the name. Big Mom at times, evil fishmen, mer-folk and giants as well as Gecko Moria who can control his shadow.
