      A lunatic finds other crazy people to go on adventures with. The fate of the islands they visit is solely decided by whoever feeds the Captain first.

      It’s a cartoon about a boy who is very stretchy because he ate a magic fruit who is determined to become the king of all pirates. To do that he has to have fistfights with other people who ate magic fruits which gave them different powers. Everyone shouts out the name of their special moves during the fights. There is a lot of shouting in general.

        Also at least early on Luffy doesn’t even know what a pirate is and think they are just funny adventurers

        Very little stealing or plundering or what every tradition pirates do

          I think that’s just anime and manga in general.

          I say this as an extremely casual viewer who has only seen “basic” anime.

          Death note, Bleach, My Hero Academia, FMA/+B, and (I had to look this one up) I think Clannad?

          But every one has an abundance of yelling.

      Legit answer: It’s the best selling on-going comic of all time, and for good reason. The author has an incredible knack for writing, comedy and world building. At first it all seems quite basic and irreverent, but as the story progresses it not only becomes more involved and compelling, but you start to understand that more and more of what happened before is actually deeply significant to the overall story. I think it’s up somewhere around 1000 named characters in the series now, and the majority of them are actually very well written no matter how short their appearance is, with many continuing to have a place in the grand narrative.
