“I have no desire to conquer anything. I believe the Pirate King is the person who has the most freedom in this entire ocean!”

One Piece fans would most likely get a shiver down their spine when they recall Mugiwara Luffy’s chat with Silvers Rayleigh, the pirate king’s first mate. Though the focus is on Straw Hat, the author of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, is the man behind the character. Oda-sensei is the author of various mangas, including Wanted!, Romance Dawn, and Taste of the Devil Fruit, in addition to the world’s best-selling manga series One Piece.

His manga work One Piece recounts the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a fictitious young pirate who has eaten the devil fruit ‘Gomu-Gomu no Mi’ and wishes to succeed Gol D. Roger as the next pirate king.
