One Piece in Greece



The greek dub of One Piece aired on the television station Alter Channel under the name "Ντρέηκ, το Κυνήγι του Θησαυρού" (Drake, the Hunting of the Treasure) and was dubbed by Audio Visual. It first aired in 14 April 2002 but it stopped at Episode 105, during the Alabasta Saga.

History
In Greece, One Piece started airing on Alter Channel in April 14th 2002 under the name "Ντρέηκ, το Κυνήγι του Θησαυρού (Drake, the Hunting of the Treasure). The show was broadcasted uncut but unfortunately changed many names of characters and locations and had a lot of dub mistakes, such as the destination of the Straw Hats  being  Red Line instead of  Raftel . Also, as in many dubs, the characters' attacks were in Greek.

The show used as its opening a greek adaptation of the first opening " We Are " featuring lyrics that were not related to the Japanese Version. It was sung by a woman.

The story was progressing just fine until the ΕΣΡ (Greek Television Council) decided that the events shown on Episode 28-which aired on July 23rd 2003 at 10 AM-during the fight between  Luffy  and  Don Krie

g (and especially the part where Luffy was stabbed and took the projectiles out of his arm) were highly inappropriate for the minors watching the show. As a result, an order was issued on November 4th 2003 for the show to

be cancelled, since it was considered not suitable for children due to the amount

of violence and fierce battles it

contained. Eventually, the series stopped at Episode 105  during the  Alabasta Arc.

Character Name Changes
At least, there were also many names that weren't changed such as Jango's name, along with Morgan 's , Sham's, Buchi's, Pearl's, Nelson's, Shanks's, Buggy's, Vivi's, Alvida's and Dalton's.

Other Name Changes

 * Grand Line is mainly called Μεγάλη Γραμμή (Big Line) and  Red Line  is called Κόκκινη Γραμμή (which means Red Line in Greek).
 * The Devil Fruits  are called Τα Φρούτα του Διαβόλου (Fruits of the Devil).
 * Gomu Gomu no Mi is changed to Το Φρούτο του Λαστιχένιου Δέντρου (The Fruit of the Rubber Tree).
 * Luffy's attacks are also changed such as Gomu Gomu no Pistol,  Gomu Gomu no Rocket  and  Gomu Gomu no Muchi  becoming Λαστιχένιο Πιστόλι (Rubber Pistol), Λαστιχένια Ρουκέτα (Rubber Rocket) and Λαστιχένιο Μαστίγιο (Rubber Whip).
 * Bara Bara no Mi is called Το Φρούτο του Διαμελισμού (The Fruit of Dismemberment).
 * The Den Den Mushi  is simply called Σαλιγκάρι (Snail).
 * The Shichibukai   term is changed to Οι Βασιλιάδες των Γενναίων των Επτά Θαλασσών (The Kings of the Brave of the Seven Seas).

Dub and Translation Errors
There were some mistakes in the greek dub that were mainly caused by the changing of many names.
 * The biggest mistake was that according to the dubbing, the crew does not intend to go to Raftel, but to  Red Line  instead. It is described by Coby(Ross) that the town where Roger hid the treasure is in the middle of the Great Continet  Red Line  that separates the world's two biggest oceans and that  Grand Line  is the only way for someone to go there.
 * Due to the fact that Luffy's name was changed into Drake, his name doesn't have the characteristic "D.".It is not known whether that was done intentionally and there was a plan to rectify it as the series moved on.
 * Nezumi was mistakenly dubbed as Admiral  Mouse (Ναύαρχος το Ποντίκι), even though he is a  Captain.

Opening
The first opening "We Are" was adapted into Greek and featured lyrics that were not related to the Japanese version.
