Happy birthday One Piece and congratulations Oda. Even with its faults this manga remains one of the greatest adventure stories created in our generation. I look forward ti seeing where he takes the Strawhat crew these following years.
He should just quit the smoking.
Happy 20th Bday to one of the greatest work of art!
You can scrap the 'in Japan' part, it's going to pass Batman by the time it's done (although I doubt it's going over superman though).

If things go according to plan, My Hero Academia is looking to replace One Piece as the #1 ongoing shonen once it ends. But that's if it continues pasts One Piece and has a solid foundation to keep the hype going, unlike Bleach.

Happy 20th anniversary!
One piece (literally) saved my life.
I was incredibly down and depressed a few years ago and came very close to offing myself, but one of the things that kept me going was that I wanted to read the end of One Piece. Nico Robin's arc over the sublime Water 7/Enies Lobby arc really resonated with me... that yeah, I had people who cared for me and I wanted to live.

Hmm I was thinking about purchasing a few of the official Viz volumes today in an effort to get back into the series, is it just minor stuff like Zoro -> Zolo or are there more major issues with the translations?
That's great to hear man!

My favorite manga of all time, I haven't enjoyed Zou or Whole Cake at all really other than select people and moments, but Dressrosa and Punk Hazard I loved even with the glass and FI I was able to enjoy, so I can only hope the series gets back to that point eventually, Oda's more than earned the benefit of the doubt.
Too five characters are Luffy, Bellamy, Nami, Coby, and Gin btw.

My understanding of that quote is that Oda planned 5 years because last much longer in Jump is usually difficult, not because that was the length of the content he had in mind
"I was going to finish ONE PIECE within 5 years.
Every crew joins before Grand Line. (1- 1.5 year)
Great adventure (3 years)
Final arc (1 year)"

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
"In the final scenes of ONE PIECE, there will be a pirate who appears with an eye patch"
Still really interested as to who this will be.
I personally don't think a mistranslation of a main characters name is "minor." But to answer your question, that's most what it is. 4kids changed several names and terminology and for whatever reason Viz decided to follow suite, even going back to earlier volumes released before the 4kids dub and editing them for future printings. Despite the fact the 4kids dub ended a decade ago Viz continues with the incorrect names and terminology for consistency sake. Viz has also edited the actual art a number of times, but I don't know how much of that still happens.
Long live the manga
!
More like it went downhill with Marineford, and is back at its former heights now.
and hope for a remade anime before we're dead

I'm just getting into One Piece for real (I've seen lots of episodes here and there though), and starting at Water 7 like everyone says too, but its still so daunting. I have a really weird relationship with this franchise though. It was the first thing I saw on television after waking up from the haze of a major surgery, and I've always associated it with being a really cheerful, effective escapism at difficult times, and always sought it out at those times.
Luffy is one of my favorite shounen protags for sure

Starting at Water 7? Who says to do that? Don't listen to those fools, Water 7 relies on your attachment to the crew that's been set up up to that point to be truly effective, and the change in tone means nothing if you don't experience the change

Who told you to start with Water 7?
