Based on the manga series of the same name, One Piece centers on the Straw Hat Pirates as they embark on an adventure to locate the “One Piece.” The treasure has the power to make captain Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) the King of the Pirates. While on their journey, the pirates encounter a lot of highs and lows on the high seas.
