# One Piece Watch Order Also known as: Vua Hải Tặc, OP Source: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/one-piece Last updated: 2026-10-28 Last checked against current sources: 2026-10-27 Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 54 entries in chronological viewing order. The One Piece watch order covers over 1,000 TV episodes alongside 14 theatrical movies and 5 OVAs, all placed in correct chronological sequence. Start with the Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack OVA before Episodes 1-16, then break for One Piece: The Movie. From there the run alternates long episode blocks with films at their release points — Clockwork Island Adventure and the Jango's Dance Carnival OVA after Episode 60, Dead End Adventure around Episode 146, and Episode of Alabasta near Episode 298. Later milestones like Strong World, One Piece Film: Z, Film: Gold, and Stampede land between the New World blocks, with the Romance Dawn Story and Infiltration! Thousand Sunny! OVAs tucked alongside. This is the completionist path; if you only want the canon story, watch the episode blocks straight through and treat the movies as optional side trips, ending on Episodes 897-1032. ## Recommended first watch Start at episode 1.
