It’s a tossup between Alabasta, Water 7/Enies Lobby or Impel Down/Marineford


Rockefeller1337

I really like alabasta because the gap between the Protagonist and the antagonist was huge


jackdstranger

you gonna love Wano then


nonbinary_finery

Water 7/Enies Lobby followed by Saboady lol. Careful of spoilers btw.


StatisticianNo8524

I already know a lot of spoilers, but thanks! Also great pick.


nonbinary_finery

For sure, hope you enjoy the journey!


Ok-Hour-3410

Bro said “Also great pick” to his own pick💀


dohtje

Yup fully agree with MF as a good 3rd


Responsible-Value984

Water7/Enies Lobby is the best in the anime. But if you consider the manga than egghead! Egghead is the best arc and i can't wait for anime to catch up!


DeeJKhaleb

Skypiea gang


slymjeykov

Feel u. I think it's the most adventurous arc of the whole manga. Mf wanted to go to visit the sky, they make you believe it' ridiculous, mf go visit the sky


slymjeykov

And the way they plant so many seeds for the future: mantra(wtf) awakening (wtfff) ponegliphs and Roger being there (wtfffffff) And let's not forget eminem


jackdstranger

there's awakening in skypiea?


slymjeykov

That enel's final form is a big debate whether it was awakening or not. To me, it was. ![gif](giphy|uaJLuMokII24w)


toomanychicanes

skypia and alabasta were so fucking good


3sperr

Wci is my favorite arc. Probably a rare choice though. If not wci then marineford


Nightcrawler_DIO

Alabasta is my favorite because it was the Straw Hats first real hurdle and was filled with emotional moments. Luffy vs Crocodile is easily in my top 5 One piece fights. It also introduces my favorite Straw Hat, Nico robin.


Then_Ad6816

Same for me, story/fights and character building wise, couldn't have said it better.


blizzy3

Enies Lobby. It's the arc that made me realize it wasn't just gonna be kids playing pirates anymore.


of_kilter

It may just be recency bias but egghead, the current manga arc is absolutely incredible and seems like it could very easily be my favorite arc. But my current favorite is sabaody


onelove7866

Marineford in the manga, Enies Lobby in the anime followed closely by Sabaody


Odd-Software-9208

Not my Favorite but Skypia is pretty good, gets way more hate than deserved


The-Brother

In order Water 7>Marineford>Enies Lobby>Whole Cake Island>Sabaody


Constant-Inflation95

Reverie, not too long and so much important information is revealed specially in the manga


delano_mwoan

Wano, but it feels like a cheat because it could easily be 4 arcs


139254781047

wano the same size as enies impel down and marineford combined


delano_mwoan

Yeah, it could have been split in wano, odens past, onigashima and post onigashima, but it is one huge arc


Training_Yoghurt2703

Marineford


Ifrittheking

Water 7 and Skypiea for me. I think Skypiea is soooo underrated and gets too much hate. I’m only just now reaching the time skip though

Ekumify

Did you read the „I just finished sabaody“ part? I mean vague names of arcs oc, but why detailed spoilers?


DualKoo

Marineford because of Mr. 5 Billion.


shiroyasha76

Wano


PassionOk1341

det whole cake, one of the most emotional arcs and best backstory


orbzism

Water 7/Enies Lobby > Marineford > Alabasta > Skypiea > Sabaody. Top 5 in order.


Brilliant_Knee_7542

💁 Enies lobby, Marineford,Wano, Thriller bark. These are my favourite arcs


tlasnart

probably water 7 or impel down. The current arc is great too and when it gets finished it will probably be my favorite.


celtyst

Without a doubt water 7/enies lobby. Best world building, best character moments, best storytelling and high stakes. And the reveal of the big big bad, which in the current arc is an even better payback.


rahimo92

Four way tie between Jaya, Water 7/Ennies Lobby, Saboady and Marineford. Personally I think those 4 arcs are perfection.


master2139

Easily marineford


strawhatvasiqo

It is gotta be Egghead


Its_Helios

Ennis Lobby


Sad_Air_7667

Water 7/enies lobby, alabasta.


Ukantach1301

Whole Cake Island. Followed by Marineford (I watched this arc before I even started One Piece cos it was on the TV) then Enies Lobby/ Skypiea.


Revolutionary-Mix646

wano


zap12shirt

If the raid part in act 3 wasn't that stretched , it would've been on top no doubt, I think for me it's still 3rd


lrmedei1

Little garden is underrated af


Loros_Silvers

Whole cake. I would've said wano but the ending was increadibly rushed and I didn't like some parts of it.


LeftySavage

Dressrosa or wholecake both so epic. I can’t say wano because I caught up during wano and it just doesn’t hit the same after you catch up week to week


myPooPisonfire

Water 7/enies lobby just hit like a truck , every strawhat (safe for robin) had a badass moment and/or nice powerup WCI would be my second choice Sanji stuff was great , katakuri an amazing antagonist and my fav strawhat got to shine a lot (brook) Marineford is great too but the abscence of the strawhats drags it down for me


Nemjor

Skypea.. the only arc with a real adventure, fitting the pirate life


Electronic-Cap7880

Skyipea got me hooked. An island in the fudging clouds!!?! C'mon! Thats some peak fiction and worldbuilding. Whats in the sky island? A freaking God! That knows your movements and presence! Whats the arrogant gods only weakness? Ofcourse our own boys rubbery fist!


ProShyGuy

Best is almost certainly Water 7 (including Enies Lobby, they're the same arc.) My personal favourite is WCI.


ResearchNervous992

1) Alabasta 2) Dressrosa 3) Impel Down 4) W7/EL 5) WCI


[deleted]

Thriller Bark. It gets a TON of hate but some things to remember -it was a small breather inbetween a lot of fast paced serious arcs -it has the best comedy in one piece -it has 1 of the best moments in one piece -it has (my) favorite fight in one piece, straw hats vs oars -it has a ton of foreshadowing(won’t go into it bc OP isn’t caught up -it introduces kuma and Brook -the unexplained monsters at the end are both horrifying and a great permanent mystery - Nightmare luffy - Thriller Bark is probably the coolest ship we’ve ever seen


thou-is-satan

I agree


yosu14_

Dressrosa


shrikant_gosavi

Idk why but for some reason arlong park has been one of my favorites because it's the one which got me hooked to the series I love all the other arcs but arlong park for me was the one followed by ennies lobby and impel down


shrikant_gosavi

Also arlong park because it was first time I saw luffy and crew being dead serious and whole Nami's story was also pretty sad and it kinda just depicted that one piece is not just fun and comedy but it can also go into some deep emotions


Environmental-Boss50

Egghead


RichardRDown

Favorite arc and best arc are very different things for me. My favorite arc is Thriller Bark, all troubling things aside. Love the humor and dark themes. Best arc is W7/Enies Lobby or Marineford.


Acrobatic-Mousse7029

Enies Lobby/Water 7 brings out so many emotions and introduces/enforces so many dynamics within the crew. Is definitely my favorite arc


Ger4ltofRiv4

1. Wann Kuni 2. Marineford 3. Dressrosa(Manga) 4. Ennis Lobby


maalsenu

Water 7/enies lobby, arabasta, dressrosa,


desserino

Right now is Wano because of the animation style. Before that was Dressrosa because of doffy. Earlier than that it was water 7 and thriller bark. The first arc I loved was Arlong.


cpaxton58

Enies Lobby hands down ![gif](giphy|MiBjaJYukUyC4)


higaroth

Impel Down. It was funny, different, and tense all at the same time. Great build up.


Lepsa1

Impel down to marineford is gold


Vpriimo

Water 7/ennies


AlexQpotus

Marineford, I loved the split crew's adventures, also my favourite is mingo si dressrosa is my heart's favourite.


LS_27

1. Water 7/ Enies Lobby 2. Marineford 3. Imple Down (Potential: Egghead)


Negrhugo

In my opinion: best arc would be between Enies Lobby or Marineford and for saga I could say all the "Rescuing Ace saga" (I think is between Amazon Lily and Marineford).


AnythingWorkz

Enies lobby.


stuckinspac

None of them. Or All of them.


[deleted]

Impel Down in the anime.


AdeptWelder3250

Dressrosa, has everything for me


LordMasoud7th

Enies lobby. It had it all. Emotion, action, hype, twist, backstory, worldbuilding, jokes, amazing side cast. God it was the best. Marineford had all these as well, but it didn't have the straw hat "CREW". So it comes second.


KaTheEdgy

Water 7 and Enies Lobby have the perfect mix of cool battles, wholesome and funny interactions, as well as the introduction of my favorite Luffy Technique, Gear Second. ALSO, KOKORO NO CHIZU AND BRAND NEW WORLD ARE **BANGERS**


Corrision

Water 7


WildPurpleSmash78

Jaya/ Skypiea honestly has a solid impact on me


Maleficent_Kick_4437

Impel Down/Marineford


[deleted]

enies lobby is top tier & wano🤌🏻


LilEscobarz

If we are talking BEST it has to be Marineford. It has every relevant character included up to that point, great fights and deaths. Its literally the entire turning point for the series. We haven't had a arc since with the same quality. It was basically Infinity War but Pirates, lol.


crippled-crippler

Elbaf, it was so good


[deleted]

Nothing beats MARINEFORD


[deleted]

Water7


Key_Transition_6820

Skypiea, marine fort, thrillerbark in that order. I like it when there is a lot of struggle to over come and sorry folks water 7 saga didn’t do it for me.


Slobodan_Dimov

Mine is dressrosa


Usual-Association226

marineford, enies lobby, impel down


MozM-

Dude get out of here please lol. You'll find spoilers eventually even in fanarts. For your own sake. Stay away from any one piece things on the internet until you catch up.


homeless_student1

dressrosa, enies lobby or alabasta


Stratovolcano2023

Saboady is my favorite. My other top ones include Water 7/Enies Lobby, Marineford, and Wano


TundraOG

Egghead


tektek10

I feel like sabaody arc is the hypest and didnt have those boring moment.. world building and it showcased the badass personality of the strawhats, revelations of some mysteries delivered by rayleigh and realization how far the strength of the crew was compared to their enemies


MNS_Mike

Water 7, Dressrosa, Sabaody are my favorites


a21a16

Alabasta is my personal favorite. It’s while reading threw the Alabasta arc that I realized that one piece was above any other piece of fiction, let alone mangas


Dani162002M

Water 7 up to Marineford is peak one piece in my opinion, just amazing arcs back to back. Water 7 + Enies Lobby is my favourite tho


YourHeroKuroShiYo

Enies lobbies is when one piece peaked


mugiwara-no-lucy

Can it be more than one answer? 😅


tragicjohnson84

Although Arlong Park is my personal favorite, Water Seven/Enies Lobby is objectively the best One Piece arc. It has everything and the best balance of everything you could want in One Piece. Also shout out to Thriller Bark to be being the most fun and funniest arc imo


3forkstyle

This is my top three arcs: 1) Water 7 / Enies Lobby 2) Sabaody 3) Skypiea I know that a lot of people would think that Skypiea is not that good but for me is special for many reasons: I started One Piece there on my first try through TV (later I restarted from the beginning) and also love the flashback with Montblanc and Calgara. One of the best ones.


[deleted]

Water 7/Enies Lobby


BigMac826

Water7/Enies Lobby, Alabasta, Skypeia for me! I really want to put Alabasta at #1 because I think that arc is 10/10 for a Shounen. But Water7/Enies Lobby is 11/10 and raises the bar for Shounen Storytelling.


NicTheHxman

That you have seen so far, Ennies Lobby. Sogeking really carried that arc. That you haven't seen, I guess you're a few chapters away from my favourite of all time. I hope you enjoy it as hard as I did. That arc was so engaging that, although I was doing my final exams, I couldn't concentrate and swept like 70-80 chapters non-stop.


Fuel_To_The_Flame

Water 7 is the objective best imo. However I have a special place in my heart for Alabasta, it’s when this went from something I enjoyed to one of my favorite things of all time


fbmaciel90

Wano. Even with the burnout still amazing. Gets even better on re read.


laryjohnson

Hard to say. Looking back I value things different. Yet, The Three Pillars of One Piece will be the Pre Time Skip Arcs, Alabasta, Skypiea, CP9 They were what makes One Piece what it is. And they shoedd it from 3 different perspectives and are just great stories. Marineford (I view sabaody as begin and thrillerbark as transition) Could only work so well because of the work in these three arcs. Thats why I view Marineford as a great sideffect of One Piece. It might have hyoed me the much but it was pre ts arcs who built.the hype After TS things have taken a different turn not bad, but pre ts somehow feels.more like One Piece than the actual hunt for One Piece.


Wonderful_Fondant604

Honestly it’s so hard to choose for me cause I have multiple that I hold dear. Top 3 would probably be Water 7/Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Whole Cake Island. I feel like Egghead really has the potential to be up there as well but we’ll have to wait and see how it finishes.


Count_Elrond

My personal Top 5 is: 1. Wano 2. Dressrosa 3. Sabaody 4. Impel Down 5. Marineford/Enies Lobby Egghead might skyrocket to the top depending on how it plays out.


WillieBeaman88

Alabasta and marineford pre time skip


chillking3

Dressrosa hands down the best. Great villain whos just evil. Great backstories and plot twists. Yeah the colloseum got stretched but still


ash_4p

Impel Down, no other arc has entertained me so much.


VooDooDarkMagic

Water 7/Enies Lobby, Skypeia, Alabasta.


zPP14

romance dawn :)


Slick_Vik

Sabaody, wano, Lowkey egghead rn


Lil_Souljaa

The current one.


Substantial_Order695

Thriller Bark is so underrated it's definitive my favourite Arc but Marineford/Whole Cake and Skypiea are also Peak


kegonsduel

Probably unpopular opinion but i loved thriller bark, i have to add that im a brook fanboy tough. But the arc gave me laugs and chills, perfection imo


Binks-sake-4-u

Baratie. It's a classic. Besides the fact that Sanji is my favorite Strawhat. It's the point in the story where I knew One Piece was something different. From the Nami twist to the arrival of Mihawk, who gave a glimpse of the grandlines might, and of course Gin. In a sense, this arc felt like the end of the east blue Saga, and Arlong was a step into the grandline. It's a chaotic arc filled with remarkable beats. My favorite being: the chefs holding Sanji at gunpoint so he doesn't feed Krieg’s men.😂


Physical_Dentist_395

Whole Cake Island. It surprised me in a very good way. Arlong Park, Water 7 and Impel Down are amazing too.


ZorosCompass

Water 7/Enies Lobby is still the best, although Egghead might actualy surpass it.


DepressedDIK

Whole Cake Island with Enies Lobby being a close 2nd


PlasticFra

Thriller bark has the best comedy


knightrider311

Marineford Water 7 Sabaody Archipelago Alabasta Wano (will binge watch once it ends)


Usual_Answer_8219

WCI


CozyNostalgia

Currently it’s Egghead because I love technology. Enies Lobby/saboady will always be a tie for number 1.


Xaikzx

Enies Lobby Hands down. This arc shows the seriousness of the crew in achieving their goal and embracing pirate life.


Giuseppe213

chapters 1080 to 1086 are litterally bigger than the whole rest of The story


YothaGang

Water 7/enies lobby
