The ONE PIECE live-action adaptation is finally here — and it’s jam-packed with adventure, antagonists, and a whole lot of pirate lore. Whether you’re a longtime superfan of Eiichiro Oda’s bestselling manga and anime series or you’re meeting Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his crew of Straw Hats for the first time, there’s a lot of fast-paced action (and characters!) to take in over the eight episodes. So to help you on your quest for full ONE PIECE immersion, here’s our guide to East Blue and all that lies within and beyond.

A

The legendary place where ingredients from all four seas — the East Blue, the West Blue, the South Blue, the North Blue — all meet, making it a paradise for chefs. It’s said to be somewhere in the Grand Line. Much like the One Piece is to Luffy, the All Blue is for chefs like Sanji.

The Captain of the Alvida Pirates. She’s loud and angry, but knows how to look cute on the high seas. Not a fan of Monkey D. Luffy.

The base of operations for the Arlong Pirates located on the Conomi Islands.

A corrupt Marine Branch captain who runs the Marine Base in Shells Town. The kind of guy who wears a metal jaw and an axe on his right hand to strike fear into those he meets. He’s also the lousy parent/enabler of Helmeppo.

A boat restaurant for the foodies of the East Blue. Its head chef and owner is Zeff. 

 A shadowy criminal syndicate intent on recruiting Roronoa Zoro.

A former Marine and the foster mother of Nami and Nojiko.

The term for currency in the world of ONE PIECE. 

He is the loyal right-hand man to Vice Admiral Garp.

A man truly committed to his chaos clown persona, Buggy is the outlandish leader of the Buggy Pirates. He wears clown makeup, possesses the powers of the Chop-Chop Fruit, and also wants to find the One Piece treasure.

The entry rank for aspiring Marines. Both Koby and Helmeppo are doing the grunt work as cadets under the mentorship of Vice Admiral Garp.

A Devil Fruit also known as the Fruit of Dismemberment. Buggy the Clown ate to gain the disturbing power to split his body into separate pieces and control them telekinetically (though his feet must stay on the ground).

Raquel Fernandes/Netflix

A small town on the Conomi Islands where Nami and Nojiko were raised. It’s also in close proximity to Arlong Park, making it vulnerable to pirates.

An agricultural island that was peaceful until the Arlong Pirates established their HQ on it. Now it’s under the thumb of those villains.

The old gang of Red-Leg Zeff.

D

Each fruit is rare and unique. It imbues the person who eats it with a specific superpower, along with the permanent weakness of not being able to swim ever again (which is bad if you spend a lot of time on a pirate ship).

Casey Crafford/Netflix

The pirate who owns the mantle of “Strongest Swordsman in the World.” Zoro sees him as the man who he has to beat to gain that title.

E

One of the great seas of the world and the setting of the first leg of Luffy’s  adventures.

F

Half-man, half-fish, these humanoids make up most of Arlong's crew of pirates.

The ship with a figurehead of a sheep that Kaya gifts to Luffy and Usopp so they can chase their One Piece dreams.

A legendary pirate who was the first to conquer the Grand Line and was known as King of the Pirates. His last words before he was executed by the Marines of the World Government revealed that he’d hidden his treasure somewhere in the Grand Line, thereby kicking off the Great Pirate Era.

An ocean route that is called the pirate’s graveyard because of the vast amount of unknown challenges that await unprepared sailors.  

A great surge of pirates from all over the various seas who attempted to find Gold Roger’s treasure hidden somewhere in the Grand Line.

A Devil Fruit found by Shanks but accidentally eaten by young Luffy. It gives him the ability to stretch his entire body like rubber, making him immune to any blunt attacks.

H

Joe Alblas/Netflix

The entitled, bratty son of Axe Hand Morgan. He uses his daddy’s power in Shells Town until he gets his comeuppance via Zoro and Luffy. He’s made to become a Marine cadet where he finally gets some positive male guidance from Garp. 

Raquel Fernandes/Netflix

The leader of the Mountain Bandits who come down to terrorize the citizens of Luffy’s home in Windmill Village. He has an existing beef with Shanks, and becomes the subject of Luffy’s outsized ire.

I

A fine vintage of wine that Sanji offers as a peace offering to prevent a fight between two beefing Baratie patrons. 

J

If you’re a proper pirate, you have a bespoke flag that lets everyone on the high seas know when your boat is near and –– based on your reputation –– your intentions.

K

Casey Crafford/Netflix

The wealthy and very sweet best friend of Usopp. She is plagued by poor health.

The title once possessed by Gold Roger. A towering figure in the pirating world, it took many years and many losses by the Marines to bring him down. His death caused a power vacuum in the pirating world: only the person who finds his hidden treasure can take up the mantle.

Casey Crafford/Netflix

Kaya’s seemingly altruistic caretaker, but something seems a little fishy about him. 

Joe Alblas/Netflix

The deckhand and abused servant of Alvida, Koby is freed by Luffy and encouraged to follow his dream of becoming a Marine. Anxiety-ridden but determined, Koby serves under Garp and becomes his mentee.

The massive sea creature that has a gnarly encounter with Shanks. 

M

They’re the enemies of all pirates. The enforcement arm of the World Government, they patrol the seas. Technically, they’re supposed to be the good guys, but Axe Hand Morgan proves that they are infinitely corruptible.

Casey Crafford/Netflix

Kaya’s accountant and financial advisor for when she comes into her inheritance. 

The very first pirate ship that Luffy encounters is this one captained by Alvida.

The most enthusiastic, aspirational pirate the world has seen. What he lacks in experience, he more than makes up for with positivity and his Gum-Gum Fruit superpowers. His life’s goal is to assemble his own crew, seek out the One Piece, and earn the title of Pirate King.

A group of thieves led by Higuma. They like to squeeze the residents of Windmill Village through violence.

An operative of the Baroque Works who tries to recruit Zoro into their ranks.

N

In the world of ONE PIECE, it means being closer than family. For Luffy, that translates to his chosen family, the Straw Hats.

A navigator and an expert mapmaker due to her servitude to Arlong (in order to save her village). Also an incredible thief. She’s a survivor, forced to rely only on herself for so long that she’s become a bit of a loner. As such, she resists Luffy’s call to become part of his crew the longest.

A fellow Marine and colleague of Vice Admiral Garp, Captain Nezumi has been in the pocket of Arlong for a long time, covering up his crimes in exchange for a nice pile of Berry. He’s the one who assigns Luffy’s first Bounty.

P

Q

Luffy’s singular purpose is to find the One Piece in the Grand Line and earn the title of Pirate King. But the journey will necessitate many side quest adventures with his crew. 

R

The huge land mass that intersects the Grand Line.

An incredible, very serious swordsman who fights with his signature three blades. His personal goal — and the promise he made to his best friend — is to become the best swordsman in the world by beating every accomplished swordsman that exists, including the most renowned –– Dracule Mihawk. He is eventually won over by Luffy to become a loyal member of his crew.

S

The charismatic cook that Luffy first meets at the Baratie. He’s also an incorrigible flirt with the ladies, which irritates Zoro to no end. As a fighter, he always leads with his foot, not wanting to injure his cooking hands in any way. Luffy recruits him to be their cook.

The hero and mentor of Luffy, Shanks is the measured and respected leader of the Red Hair Pirates. He’s Luffy’s hero, and he prompts the boy to chase his dream of becoming the Pirate King.

The base location of the 153rd Marine branch, and the place where Luffy meets Nami and Zoro.

The place where Zoro comes from. He is trained as a swordsman here with his childhood friend, Kuina. 

A signature accessory for Shanks, he eventually gifts Luffy this personal item which the young man cherishes.

U

Casey Crafford/Netflix

A Marine soldier under the oppressive regime of Axe Hand Morgan in Shells Town. He gets his butt kicked by Nami, Zoro, and Luffy. 

One heck of a sharpshooter with a slingshot, he becomes part of Luffy’s crew. He hails from Syrup Village where he was raised by his mother as his pirate father sailed the seas. Idolizing his mostly absent father, Usopp becomes known as a town annoyance for his propensity to cry wolf for attention.  

V

Casey Crafford/Netflix

Perhaps the most famous Marine in the land, Garp also happens to be the grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy. He’s got a soft spot for the boy despite being a by-the-book military man.  

W

The paper signs posted by the Marines in towns and villages all over the world that display the rewards for each of the most dangerous pirates sailing the seas. The higher the Berry bounty, the more infamous the pirate.

The name of Zoro’s most prized sword. It was first wielded by Zoro’s childhood friend Kuina, but after her death he acquired the weapon to lead him towards achieving his ultimate goal of being the greatest swordsman alive.

The home of Monkey D. Luffy and the place where he first meets Shanks and aspires to become the King of the Pirates.
