you mean like "one piece"?
it's only one of the biggest mangas/animes out there.. that and yucky dragonball are probably the most widely spread mangas in the west world

I don't think One Piece has pirates. I mean like pirates like in Peter Pan or Treasure Island.

Really?! Maybe I got it confused with another show called 'One Piece'. Or is it a manga? I thought One Piece was about these girls who go after this one guy.

Oo, now I really want to play it XD

you should atleast play 3 & 4 ^^

1 & 2 are classics, but only fun if you're in to that sort of thing... 3 & 4 are hilarious what ever way you look at it.. (especially #3)

One Piece is indeed a Pirate Anime/manga.

"One Piece is the story of Monkey D. Luffy, a young adventurous boy who dreams of becoming the Pirate King, by finding the legendary treasure "One Piece". Inspired by his childhood role model, "Red Haired" Shanks, Luffy sets out on his journey to become the pirate king. He gathers a crew together and heads to the Grand Line, the place where One Piece is held. If he obtains this treasure, he'll become the king of pirates.


One Piece is written and drawn by Eiichiro Oda. One Piece is currently the most popular manga/anime in Japan right now, and we can all see why. Its story is really interesting and addicting, and each character is developed well. One Piece currenly spans 34 volumes of manga and 339 chapters. The One Piece anime has shown 203 episodes so far and continues strong. Right now, the English version of the manga is being distributed in Shonen Jump, so go check it out. " - www.arlongpark.com

It's an amazing anime/manga, but is a bit weak in the beginning. I love it, and actually just read a manga chapter a few minutes ago ^^;.

One Piece! i would have recommend it if it hadn't already been recommended about 5 times...

it's about pirates, but then again it's not about the usual type of pirates. we're talking pirates that have super powers! in fact the further into the manga/anime you get, if the pirate doesn't have a super power they're a pretty crap pirate.

Here are a couple of golden oldies that are classic and good: Queen Emeraldas and Captain Harlock...

And if you like pirates a bunch (this might be off topic) you might want to check out Xenogears, it's a game but c'mon -

I can't believe no one has said Pirates Of Dark Water. Or...was that an anime..? I was only like five, so I'm not sure. Still, great cartoon, anyway. Stepped away from the usual cutesy, lighthearted cartoons the USA is known for. Probably why it didn't last very long.

I'm gonna say this again like what the others have said...ONE PIECE!!!!

One Piece is all about Pirates! It's one of my favourites currently! :D
And the manga raw chapter online is currently till chapter 340 :cool:
