The manga series has spawned a media franchise, including an anime adaptation from Toei Animation and several feature films. It has also produced a live-action drama and a number of video games and other forms of merchandising.
It has been published as a serial in Weekly Shonen Jump, where a new chapter is released on a weekly basis. Accounting for holiday breaks and Eiichiro Oda’s personal hiatuses, approximately 45-48 chapters are published each year.
The series was originally conceived as a pirate manga, influenced by Oda’s own interest in vikings and inspired by various pirate events. Luffy, a straw-hat wearing boy who sets out to sea to become a legendary pirate, was introduced in two separate one-shots called “Romance Dawn.”
