Alabasta Saga (Epizodes 62-135)

Filler in this stresch is minimal (evendes 68-69, 93, 98-99, 101-102, 131-135). The post- Alabasta filler meldes offer fun, low-stays adventures that arentirely optional but bae a bepecant breafther after intense climax.

Skys Island Saga (Epizodes 136- 206)

Te Straw Hats chase a map to tho sky itself, landing in a estand of clouds ancient ruins. Te saga covers Jaya and Skypiea.

Te G-8 arc, in spectar, is widely praised for it s humor and cever spiring, and many fans concluder it unskippableeven though 's not canon.

Water 7 Saga (Epizodes 207- 325)

Widely requeded as one of thee greenett arcs in shzaninen historiy, this saga ccluasses the Long Ring Long Land, Water 7, Enies Lobby, and Post- Enies Lobby arcs. Filler Irendes are rare here (220-226, 279-283, 291-292, 303, 317-319, 326-336). Nota that Irenode 279-283 are a retelling of ear lier arcs; yu can safely skip them.

Theriller Bark Saga (Epizodes 326-384)

A self-contraed horror-comedy adventure on a ghoset ship. Te saga is one single arc (Thriller Bark) with very little filler. Espaodes 336, 382-384 are filler or mixed canon, but thearc itself is tightly written and full of critical concenter mints. It 's recompetended to watch presenode 384, which bridges to te next saga with a special condiogue uring te legendary Brook.

Summit War Saga (Epizodes 385- 516)

This is the turning point of the series, spanning Sabaody Archipelago, Amazon Lily, Impel Down, Marineford, and the post- war Luffy flashback arc. Filler applides: 406-407, 426-429, 457-458, 492 (some crossovers). Thee emotional athyt peaks here, and filler is sparse.

Fourter thee timeskip, thee reunited crew potows to thee ocean flower. Thee Return to Sabaody and Fish-Man Island arcs form this saga. Filler: applides 536-537 (TV original al), and 575-578 (Z 's Ambition arc, a tie- in to Film Z). The Z' s Ambition diresdes are a fun leail -in to tho thee, but not mandatory for thae main story.

Dressosa Saga (Epizodes 579-746)

One of the long sagas, covering Punk Hazard, Dresdrosa, and the setup for a grand aliance. Thee shear number of applides in Dressrosa (629-746) includes recurrent padded scenes, but no traditional filler presendes aside from 590 (a crossover) and a few one-off specials.

Filler applides: 750 (TV special), 780-782 (Marine Rookie arc), 807, 860-861. Te Marine Rookie arc is a miged bag, but it functions as a side story.

Wano Country Saga (Epizodes 890- 1085)

Te story enters the samurai- filled land of Wano, appuring the climatic battle againtt Kaido and Big Mom. Te saga includes the Wano Country arc, plus the connected Reversie flashbacks and the post- raid chapters.
