This is the very first episode of one piece. Although I am all caught up in the Anime I will start from the first episode and blog my way up to the current episodes. From the beginning of the series you'll notice the artwork is old as this Anime premiered in Japan the year 1999.
One Piece Episode 001 starts off with two sailor reeling in a barrel. As they reel it in one of them notices a pirate flag and ship which starts to attack them. 2 minutes into the episode 3 key characters are shown already before the main character. After a few cannonballs from the are shot at the cruise ship, the pirates pull up next to the cruise ship in order to board it.
While under attack there is a orange hair girl (
Nami) sneaking around looking for something, while everyone else aboard the ship panics in fear of the pirates. After a boy on the pirate ship was scolded by the captain, a very fat short and round ugly looking female pirate, he is found rolling the barrel the first two sailors found. The boy
Coby who is inside the lower decks of the ship, is confronted by his crew mates as they ask if he is up to doing nothing again, and gets the barrel taken away from him. As they are about to open the barrel to see what's inside
Monkey D. Luffy pops out and yells, provoking the pirates to attack him. It ends with Luffy knocking out 2 out 3 pirates out. He then tells the third pirate his name as the pirate runs away in fear to tell his captain.
After Luffy and Coby talk about what happened before they met and explaining they're dreams, the captain of the pirate ship, Alvida, interrupts them by attacking Luffy. The fight then moves to the upper decks where Coby gets the courage to talk back to his evil captain who forced him to be a slave on the ship. While this is going on, Nami slips out of a room and sneaks away with treasure she stole. After Coby mouths off to Alvida she tries to strike him down with her spiked club, but is protected by Luffy in which the attack does not affect him. Luffy then retaliates with his signature move " Gomu Gomu No Pistol " and sends Alvida flying into the sky. After their little fight the marines show up and attack the ship. Luffy being a pirate decides to escape and make a run for it using a boat he demanded they give coby. Him and Coby jump into the small boat to find Nami already in it trying to make an escape...Later it shows them talking about the Pirate Hunter as Luffy is interested in making him join his crew.

I enjoyed this episode very much as I do every episode..except some fillers. I have a deep hatred for filler episodes of any anime haha. I also think the moral of this episode is to always be courageous and follow your dreams and goals. Never think or say it's impossible because if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.
