There\u2019s only one band of motley crew pirates led by a plucky young guy in a straw hat \u2013\u00a0 and boy does One Piece have enough episodes to prove it. But which of these are filler you can skip?<\/p>\n

First airing on screens back in the late 1990s, the series is now over 1,000 episodes deep, with new One Piece episodes<\/a> still airing now with an ending<\/a> still quite far away.<\/p>\n

The show follows a legendary high-seas quest, with Luffy setting off from his small village with a big dream to become the King of the Pirates. Along the way, Luffy and his friends get into plenty of scrapes and strange situations, leading to his current fight with arch-rival Kaido.<\/p>\n

The appetite for more episodes isn\u2019t letting up, with Luffy\u2019s Gear 5<\/span><\/a> recently animated for the first time ever. On top of this, fans can no stream the <\/span>live-action<\/span><\/a> version of Luffy\u2019s adventures over on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before all of that, it can be difficult for first-time viewers to know where to start for the best. If you\u2019re wanting to watch One Piece in order<\/a> but are short of time, here\u2019s a comprehensive guide of the One Piece episodes you do \u2013 and definitely don\u2019t \u2013 need to get into the swing of all things pirate.<\/p>

Which One Piece episodes are essential to watch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The great thing about One Piece is that there are so many episodes to watch \u2013 but that can also be a downside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you give up on Luffy and the gang, fear not\u2026 there are a few episodes that are absolutely essential viewing for any type of One Piece fan.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Which One Piece filler episodes can you skip?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    At the same time, there are plenty of One Piece filler episodes that purely feel as though they are filling a gap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The so-called filler episodes don\u2019t really add any value or new information to the overall One Piece story, whittling down the overall series watchlist to something much more palatable.<\/p>\n

    If you only want to watch essential One Piece episodes, avoid the below filler arcs:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Episodes 54-61: Warship Island arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 131-135: Post-Arabasta arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 136-138: Goat Island arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 139-143: Ruluka Island arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 196-206: G-8 arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 220-224: Ocean\u2019s Dream arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 225 and 226: Foxy\u2019s return arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 326-335: Ice Hunter arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 382-384: Spa Island arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 426-429: Little East Blue arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 575-578: Z\u2019s Ambition arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 626-628: Caesar\u2019s Retrieval arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 747-750: Silver Mine arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 780-782: Marine Rookie arc<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Episodes 895-896: Cidre Guild arc<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Skipping the above episodes will still bring you back up to speed with the Wano Country arc, which is currently airing on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

      The live-action One Piece series could also be considered to be filler, as it recounts the same sequence of events as seen in the East Blue saga. That being said, there are plenty of changes made along the way, meaning there\u2019s a brand-new perspective ready for viewers to watch.<\/p>
