==Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials==
  +
{{see|Cover Page|Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials}}
  +
  +
Due to the One Piece manga's nature as a weekly serial, each individual chapter has its own title page to start that series' section of ''Weekly Shonen Jump''. While most manga artists use this space either to expand the chapter's length by a page or to draw a one-off illustration, Oda will take minor characters and defeated villains, and give them their own story arcs, which sometimes end up coinciding with the goings-on of Luffy and his crew at some point. Each of these stories, known officially as {{Nihongo|'''Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials'''|短期集中表紙連載|Tanki Shūchū Hyōshi Rensai}}, or "Cover Stories" for short, run for 20 to 40 or more consecutive installments, interrupted only by title pages drawn in color. Each "episode" is one panel, with a caption that includes the title of the arc (given by Oda himself) and a description of what happens in the image. After each arc has run its course, there is a set of "normal" chapter title pages that showcases each member of the Straw Hat crew, and then a new story arc is introduced. Starting from just prior to the ninth cover arc, a new segment called "[[Where They Are Now]]" began, catching up with other characters from a specific arc and their current day to day life prior to the specific story connected to the full cover arc.
  +
  +
While these "Cover Stories" (as fans call them) are part of the canon manga story, only three have appeared thus far in the anime: [[Buggy's Crew: After the Battle!]] ([[Episode 46|episodes 46]]-[[Episode 47|47]]), [[Diary of Koby-Meppo]] ([[Episode 68|episodes 68]]-[[Episode 69|69]]) and [[Straw Hat's Separation Serial]] ([[Episode 453|episodes 453]]-[[Episode 456|456]]). However, it is not infrequent that the encounters caused by the mini arc do appear in the anime without any explanation, including Jango's recruitment into the Marines.

==Anime-Only Arcs==
  +
Because the ''One Piece'' manga is still ongoing, Toei Animation uses non-manga material (filler) as a way to slow down the progression of the plot. If the anime were to catch up with the manga, Toei would either have to wait for Oda to release more manga chapters, take the story in a direction independent of the manga (as was done in ''Rurouni Kenshin'', ''Elfen Lied'', ''InuYasha'' and ''Fullmetal Alchemist''), or simply end it; any of these would likely damage the popularity of the series, and would not reflect well on either Toei Animation or Oda. Thus, additional material is the only viable alternative.
  +
  +
Unlike non-manga material in many other shows, most ''One Piece'' filler takes place in story arcs independent from the main plot, and having little to no effect on the subsequent canon story. These arcs also generally consist of lighter fare than Oda's own work, containing much more comedy, the presence of child characters, and little in the way of drama. Currently, the anime has twelve story arcs not present in the manga:
  +
  +
*# '''[[Warship Island Arc]]''' (a.k.a. '''Apis Arc'''): comes between the East Blue and Alabasta sagas. The Straw Hat Pirates attempt to help a mysterious girl named Apis and a "Thousand Year Dragon" named Ryuji, while combating the nefarious Erik and the Marines after the dragon.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Warship Island Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 8 (54-61)
  +
*#'''[[Post-Alabasta Arc]]''': a series of character-centered episodes taking place immediately after the Alabasta Arc.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Post-Alabasta Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 5 (131-135)
  +
*#'''[[Goat Island Arc]]''': after the above arc, the Straw Hats meet an old man and his goats who supposedly have a great treasure, but the Marines are after his treasure too.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Goat Island Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 3 (136-138)
  +
*#'''[[Ruluka Island Arc]]''': after the above arc, the Straw Hats comes across an island under the control of a cruel former pirate and an old man trying to unlock the secrets of a space-time warp known as the Rainbow Mist. Things start to get complicated when Luffy and the others end up getting trapped in the Rainbow Mist, however.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Ruluka Island Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 5 (139-143)
  +
*# '''[[G-8 Arc]]''': Comes after the end of the Sky Island Saga. Instead of splashing down in open sea, the [[Going Merry]] is trapped within the enclosed and heavily fortified waters of a Marines base, where the crew must scatter to survive before attempting to retake their ship and escape.
  +
*#* [[:Category:G-8 Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 11 (196-206)
  +
*# '''[[Ocean's Dream Arc]]''': follows the Long Ring Long Land arc and precedes the crew's arrival at Water Seven. The crew loses its memory and has to get it back before they can continue. It is notable in that it is the only non-manga storyline thus far to be based on a One Piece video game (''Ocean's Dream'', released for the Sony PlayStation in 2003).
  +
*#* [[:Category:Ocean's Dream Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 5 (220-224)
  +
*# '''[[Foxy's Return Arc]]''': immediately after the Ocean's Dream Arc is this two-episode short filler arc describing what became of the defeated Foxy and his crew following the Davy Back Fight. After the arc's end there is a short transition to the meeting with Aokiji, handled differently in the manga.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Foxy's Return Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 2 (225-226)
  +
*# '''[[Ice Hunter Arc]]''' (a.k.a. '''Lovely Land Arc'''): after the Enies Lobby arc, the ''Sunny'' falls into a dangerous trap on an ice island. Ambushed by the world's greatest bounty hunters, the diabolical [[Accino Family]], the Straw Hats' Jolly Roger is taken and they team up with the [[Phoenix Pirates]], also victims of the Accinos, to get it back.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Ice Hunter Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 10 (326-335)
  +
*# '''[[Spa Island Arc]]''': after the Thriller Bark arc, the crew lands on Spa Island, an island dedicated to relaxation. However, once they meet a pair of sisters searching for their father's dream, a series of events unfold that turn the island of relaxation into the island of destruction. The last episode of this arc is about Brook and how he's adjusting to the crew.
  +
*#* [[:Category:Spa Island Arc Episodes|Episodes]]: 3 (382-384)
  +

Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials

Further information: Cover Page and Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials

Due to the One Piece manga's nature as a weekly serial, each individual chapter has its own title page to start that series' section of Weekly Shonen Jump. While most manga artists use this space either to expand the chapter's length by a page or to draw a one-off illustration, Oda will take minor characters and defeated villains, and give them their own story arcs, which sometimes end up coinciding with the goings-on of Luffy and his crew at some point. Each of these stories, known officially as Short-Term Focused Cover Page Serials (短期集中表紙連載, Tanki Shūchū Hyōshi Rensai?), or "Cover Stories" for short, run for 20 to 40 or more consecutive installments, interrupted only by title pages drawn in color. Each "episode" is one panel, with a caption that includes the title of the arc (given by Oda himself) and a description of what happens in the image. After each arc has run its course, there is a set of "normal" chapter title pages that showcases each member of the Straw Hat crew, and then a new story arc is introduced. Starting from just prior to the ninth cover arc, a new segment called "Where They Are Now" began, catching up with other characters from a specific arc and their current day to day life prior to the specific story connected to the full cover arc.

While these "Cover Stories" (as fans call them) are part of the canon manga story, only three have appeared thus far in the anime: Buggy's Crew: After the Battle! (episodes 46-47), Diary of Koby-Meppo (episodes 68-69) and Straw Hat's Separation Serial (episodes 453-456). However, it is not infrequent that the encounters caused by the mini arc do appear in the anime without any explanation, including Jango's recruitment into the Marines.

    Anime-Only Arcs

    Because the One Piece manga is still ongoing, Toei Animation uses non-manga material (filler) as a way to slow down the progression of the plot. If the anime were to catch up with the manga, Toei would either have to wait for Oda to release more manga chapters, take the story in a direction independent of the manga (as was done in Rurouni Kenshin, Elfen Lied, InuYasha and Fullmetal Alchemist), or simply end it; any of these would likely damage the popularity of the series, and would not reflect well on either Toei Animation or Oda. Thus, additional material is the only viable alternative.

    Unlike non-manga material in many other shows, most One Piece filler takes place in story arcs independent from the main plot, and having little to no effect on the subsequent canon story. These arcs also generally consist of lighter fare than Oda's own work, containing much more comedy, the presence of child characters, and little in the way of drama. Currently, the anime has twelve story arcs not present in the manga:

      1. Warship Island Arc (a.k.a. Apis Arc): comes between the East Blue and Alabasta sagas. The Straw Hat Pirates attempt to help a mysterious girl named Apis and a "Thousand Year Dragon" named Ryuji, while combating the nefarious Erik and the Marines after the dragon.
      2. Post-Alabasta Arc: a series of character-centered episodes taking place immediately after the Alabasta Arc.
        • Episodes: 5 (131-135)
      3. Goat Island Arc: after the above arc, the Straw Hats meet an old man and his goats who supposedly have a great treasure, but the Marines are after his treasure too.
      4. Ruluka Island Arc: after the above arc, the Straw Hats comes across an island under the control of a cruel former pirate and an old man trying to unlock the secrets of a space-time warp known as the Rainbow Mist. Things start to get complicated when Luffy and the others end up getting trapped in the Rainbow Mist, however.
      5. G-8 Arc: Comes after the end of the Sky Island Saga. Instead of splashing down in open sea, the Going Merry is trapped within the enclosed and heavily fortified waters of a Marines base, where the crew must scatter to survive before attempting to retake their ship and escape.
      6. Ocean's Dream Arc: follows the Long Ring Long Land arc and precedes the crew's arrival at Water Seven. The crew loses its memory and has to get it back before they can continue. It is notable in that it is the only non-manga storyline thus far to be based on a One Piece video game (Ocean's Dream, released for the Sony PlayStation in 2003).
      7. Foxy's Return Arc: immediately after the Ocean's Dream Arc is this two-episode short filler arc describing what became of the defeated Foxy and his crew following the Davy Back Fight. After the arc's end there is a short transition to the meeting with Aokiji, handled differently in the manga.
      8. Ice Hunter Arc (a.k.a. Lovely Land Arc): after the Enies Lobby arc, the Sunny falls into a dangerous trap on an ice island. Ambushed by the world's greatest bounty hunters, the diabolical Accino Family, the Straw Hats' Jolly Roger is taken and they team up with the Phoenix Pirates, also victims of the Accinos, to get it back.
      9. Spa Island Arc: after the Thriller Bark arc, the crew lands on Spa Island, an island dedicated to relaxation. However, once they meet a pair of sisters searching for their father's dream, a series of events unfold that turn the island of relaxation into the island of destruction. The last episode of this arc is about Brook and how he's adjusting to the crew.
      10. Little East Blue Arc: before Strong World (probably after the Thriller Bark Arc), the Straw Hat Pirates arrive to Little East Blue island, where they'll fight against Largo and his pirates.
      11. Z's Ambition Arc: after the Fish-Man Island Arc, the Straw Hat Pirates meet Lily Enstomach and engage battle with Momonga to free her father. Later Shuzo of the Neo Marines tries to kill him and Luffy fights him.
      12. Caesar Retrieval Arc: after the Punk Hazard Arc, a mysterious person manages to get aboard the Thousand Sunny and kidnap the already-kidnapped Caesar Clown away from the Straw Hat Pirates, who are on their way to Dressrosa. However, the recently formed Heart Pirates and Straw Hat Pirates alliance will need to get Caesar back, in order to complete the plan to take down both Donquixote Doflamingo and Kaido.
      13. Silver Mine Arc: Monkey D. Luffy and Bartolomeo are kidnapped by the Silver Pirate Alliance, and must escape from a large fortress on a giant silver mine.
      14. Marine Rookie Arc: The Sanji Retrieval Team ran out of food, forcing them to sneak onto the Marines base on Fron Island to steal their food supply.
      15. Cidre Guild Arc: After being targeted by Cidre Guild, the Straw Hats dock at a nearby Island where they repair and restock the Thousand Sunny. There, Luffy encounter Boa Hancock and they strike back against the guild, freeing the island from their control. Following the encounter with Hancock and the defeat of the guild, the Straw Hats learn about the Pirates Expo.

    TV Specials

    The first four TV specials and the first recap are hour-long specials that aired in the series timeslot in place of a regular episode. TV Specials five onward are two-hours long and aired outside of the TV Series schedule.

    The 'Episode Of' specials (following from Movies 8 and 9) are part of a series that re-adapts story arcs from the manga with new animation.

    Crossovers

    The characters of the series (mainly the protagonist crew) sometimes crossover to other franchises, and vice-versa. Those cross overs are considered not canon to the main series, however the characters remember their past encounters with the same crossed over group. This is a list of the crossover thus far:
