Here's the reason why one piece must be so long

The biggest reason there are still so many people who hesitate One piece It is because of its intimidating length. Since the series is now over a thousand episodes and chapters long, it is no secret that learning about this beautiful world and its characters can be a commitment in real time. The truth is, despite the fact that the series is not so long just because there are some specific reasons why it must be the best possible experience to fans.

When considering the ambitious One piece The story is actually that it may be easier to understand why Eiichiro Oda has decided to take the time to try to rush to the target line as quickly as possible. But when everything is said and done, the series is just as long as satisfactory to catch up, especially when the series is as fun and fun as this. As already mentioned, these are the main reasons why One piece It must be as long as it is, and how this length actually ends in the benefit of the series as a whole.

Last warning spoiler for one piece!

Focus on building a world

The world of one piece is full of unique and unforgettable islands

In order to feel interesting and believable, the author must make sure they focus on building the world and the characters that are located in it, and while most of the Shōnen series makes it a good job, it makes a good job, One piece It moves building the world to a completely different level. Given that straw hats are constantly coming to the brand-new islands, it means that ODA has to spend a lot of time not only to demonstrate these areas visually, but also break them in terms of their culture, history and, of course, people who really live there.

For many fans, these are the best moments of the story because it sets out through the brand new locations to reveal its hidden secrets provides a welcome change in the tempo from intense action scenes. These islands would simply feel hollow and as a little more than just fast stops if they were skipped too fast, so while it adds to the length of the series, it is also necessary to ensure that each area has its own taste and aesthetics that all excel as something unique.

To make Luffy's procedure believable

The captain of the straw hat was not strong enough to become the pirate king in episode 1

Luffy may have begun the story with the rubber body thanks to his devilish fruit, but he quickly realizes that he is still too weak to even have a chance to one day become a pirate king. Given how crazy strong figures such as admirals and warriors, they are actually, it means that Luffy would have to constantly stronger during the adventure, to catch up credibly because he gives him too many power-ups in a short time.

Instead, ODA sprinkled these new transformations at a stable pace throughout the story whenever Luffy really needs them to take off the hard opponent. In this way, this causes the protagonist naturally growing from the start of his adventure and even in recent arches still gain new forces and ability to use in battle.

You want to contain deep and emotional flashbacks

Flashbacks of one piece tend to be long, unforgettable and extremely emotional

One piece Flashbacks are known to be very emotional, but to ensure that fans actually invest in the story and upbringing, ODA will also make sure that these sequences will get long enough to avoid forgetting. That is why fans so clearly remember the tragic stories of characters such as Robin, Nami and many other straw hats who all had a pretty hard time to get where they are today.

They are not just the heroes of the story to get their own flashbacks, but because many villains will also have their stories to the audience to help them get some sympathy. This can be used for main antagonists such as Doflamingo and Big Mom, but also some of the one -time goons that appear only in a single arc, with the main example is Senor Pink. Flashbacks like these are necessary not only to emphasize how cruel world One piece It can be truly, but also to exclude each of the characters to feel like real people who deserve the attention of the reader or viewer.

Include satisfactory pretense

Oda loves the fall of Nuggets of Foresadowing just to pay them much later

The pretense is not in the narration anything new, but One piece It is absolutely full of this helping to add a lot of intrigue and secrets to the story and the wider world. Very often, however, these little hints will pay off only after a few hundred chapters or episodes, which is a smart way to motivate fans to generate discussions about what these scenes could be pretending and affect the story later in a row.

It is sincerely shocking how many future events were mentioned more than 20 years ago, just to become much more relevant in the recent arches of the story. One such example is how Sanji mentions very soon that he comes from the Northern Blue, until he has been credited in the recent arch of the island, that he was indeed associated with Germa and that his father was a infamous scientist. This is just one example of many where ODA drops a mysterious nugget before leaving it on a good piece of the story, which eventually makes all the more exciting when they are finally paid out much later.

Put straw hats time to radiate

Each crew member Luffy has enough time to show what they are about

There are a stunning number of characters that have been introduced into the story One piece So far, but in the heart of the plot is the crew of the straw hat. After all, these are the characters that fans will spend most of their time along the adventure, so it was important for these characters to feel interesting enough to guarantee space on the crew, and the way he achieved it was to focus them on focusing a particular story.

For example, even though many different fractions and characters were involved in the entire arch of the cake island, it all revolved around Sanji, which allowed fans to get a deeper insight into who it is and his story over several hundred chapters. The same can be said of Robin with water 7 and Chopper for Drum Island, because each character is given more than enough time to prove Luffy and fans, and although inevitably leads to even more arches of the story, it is also necessary to entertain and interesting.

Feel like a real way

Treasure of one piece cannot be done overnight

Achieving a treasure with one piece can be the final goal for Luffy and many other pirates who are introduced in the story, but it is really an adventure that it really gets there, which has become so popular. It wouldn't only make sense if it was possible to achieve a treasure of one piece in more than a few days, because it would mean that the series would have to skip a lot of characters' development and crew interactions to focus primarily on making it possible as quickly as possible.

Instead, when Luffy and Gang start in the Eastern Blue, they give them a lot of time to not only grow and mature like characters, but also to connect with the audience who will basically be an honorary member of the crew itself, given how long they will spend around these individuals. It is not unusual to hear people theorize that one piece is actually the adventure itself, and although it is probably not true in the technical sense, there is still a big reason why the series had to be in the first place: to feel one big adventure.
