One Piece is a Japanese anime series based on the manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young man whose body gains the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil's Fruit, and his diverse crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy explores the ocean in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as One Piece in order to become the next Pirate King.

The 4Kids dubbed episodes premiered on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on April 23, 2005. The Funimation dubbed episodes premiered on Toonami on August 25, 2007 and aired until its cancellation on March 22, 2008.

During Momocon 2013, the Toonami staff stated that they had re-acquired the rights to the series and that One Piece would return to the lineup, in April 2013.

The series returned to Toonami on May 18, 2013 with episode 207 of the “Long Ring Long Island” arc (or “Davy Back Fight” arc as it’s also known), due to the fact that a lot of the episodes preceding 207 were already shown on Toonami, and because every episode after 207 is in HD. The series is rated TV-14-DLV on Adult Swim.
