If you are even remotely into anime and/or manga, "One Piece" is definitely a series you have heard of. I could not stumble upon a person who said they disliked the series and as apart of the "Big Three," I knew it must be a pretty good watch/read. But, as many people seem to be, I was initially intimidated by the length of the story. But, deciding to gather some courage and free a lot of my time, I began to read. Now, I am extremely grateful for my determination.

Eiichiro Oda has done an amazing job creating the world that "One Piece" is set in. For as many characters as there are, each one of them is unique and interesting. The Straw Hats are shown to be strong and a force to be reckoned with, but the villains are actually intimidating and a real threat to the main cast. It is amazing that a story that has been running for over 20 years has remained as great as it was when it began.
