One Piece in Greece

The series aired on the television station Alter Channel under the name "Ντρέηκ Και Το Κυνήγι Του Θησαυρού" (Drake And the Hunting of Treasure). It first aired in Greece in 14 April 2002 but it stopped at episode 105, during the Arabasta Arc. The ΕΣΡ (Greek Television Counsil) decided that the events shown on episode 28 during the Luffy-Don Krieg fight (and especially the part where Luffy was stabbed and took the projectiles out of his arm) were highly inapropriate for the minors watching the show. As a result, the order was issued a year later for the show to stop, since it was considered as not suitable for children because of the violence and fierce battles it contained. An interesting thing to note is, that according to the dubbing, the crew doesn't intent to go to Raftel, but at the Red Line instead. Also, another interesting detail is that Luffys name did not involve the characteristic "D", which was omited. It is not known if that was done intentionaly and if there was a plan to rectify it as the series moved on. This probably happened due to dubbing mistakes.
