Don't bother buying One Piece on DVD, the English version is by 4Kids and they've cut, edited and raped it to hell.
But I really do recommend it to anyone who loves a good adventure. The crew are a bunch of lovable idiots.
Luffy is so dense he doesn't realise half of what goes on, but he has a strong sense of honour and he'd do anything for his crew and those he becomes friends with. He ate a devil's fruit which allows him to stretch his body.
Nami is a thief who steals from pirates but ends up becoming a part of Luffy's crew, she has her own agenda of course but if you watch One Piece you'll get to find out her story which is a damn good one. She's a great navigator, loves money and is the one with the most commonsense aboard the ship.
Zoro is a swordsman, a Pirate Hunter, but even so Luffy convinces him to join his crew lol. He uses a three sword technique, one in each hand and the third he holds with his teeth. It's some crazy stuff but it's so cool when he fights! He has no sense of direction and spends all of his time sleeping... if he's awake he'll train though.
Usopp is the crews loser XD He wants to be brave but is a coward, his greatest skill is his ability to lie... though anyone with commonsense can see through it lol. Often when a fight occurs he'll stand up bravely taunting the enemy but then rushes off to hide while the others fight.
Sanji is the ships cook but of course he's pretty good at fighting too. To protect his hands he only uses his legs to fight. But the thing that makes Sanji a popular character is the fact that he's into the ladies. You'll get plenty of scenes of Sanji trying to rub up against Nami and adoring her and any other pretty girl that he can see. When he's in that mode we call him Ero-Sanji
And that's the crew for the beginning, there are other characters who join the crew such as Vivi, Chopper, Robin and some other characters.
So here's the story... "Gold Roger" was the greatest Pirate who ever lived, so great that they called him the Pirate King. When he was finally captured he told the world that he hid his treasure in an area of the ocean known as the Grand Line, that treasure is called One Piece. Whoever finds the treasure will be named the new Pirate King. It's been 20 years since Gold Roger was executed and Luffy, who aspires to be a Pirate, sets out to find One Piece.
Along the way he finds a crew and a ship and he heads for the Grand Line. This anime is long, very long (270 episodes aired in Japan and still going). But that's just fine by me cause this is one of those animes where you just don't want it to end. The adventures they go through as so damn good, but like I said, the first few episodes are rather bland because they have to go through the process of getting the crew assembled. However, once it gets to the Arlong arc it REALLY takes off and just goes straight up from there.
It's extremely funny too, there are a lot of very clever gags and downright hilarious moments in this series XD I've laughed my ass off with a lot of episodes.
