Unquestionably, “One Piece” is one of the best animes and manga series ever created, if not the best. What’s more, it has also been adapted into a live-action series on Netflix, which is something rare as other animes do not get live-action adaptations.
Whether you are new to watching “One Piece” (that’s okay) or have been watching this series for so long, you might want to know how to watch the show in the most proper order. Yes, so here’s a guide to the chronological ordering of the anime’s sagas and arcs.
