This Version of One Piece, which is recutted by fans, fixes a lot of problems I have with the pacing of the original. Espacially in the later arcs.

This Version of One Piece, which is recutted by fans, fixes a lot of problems I have with the pacing of the original. Espacially in the later arcs.
*One Pace* was created in response to the infamously poor pacing of the original (1997) anime adaptation of *One Piece*. This is primarily related to the filler in nearly every episode, in which the first four-to-five minutes of every episode is the opening + flashbacks to the several previous episodes... not to mention countless flashbacks in the middle of many episodes. Some specific arcs *cough* Fishman Island *cough* are even more poorly paced to the point there was an official remake (2024) of one. And there is even going to be an official remake (2027) of the series with the goal of better pacing. Well, before all that came this project (2013). I only discovered this recently, and I appreciate the work of this team. They use the manga as a blueprint to edit the original anime into a more concise and watchable experience, and they do it quite well. For English-speaking viewers, the edited episodes are packaged into dub, sub, or all-in-one formats. 15 other languages are at least a work-in-progress. Kudos to this team.

Episode 1
With Nami joining as Luffy's navigator (though not as an actual member of the crew), they arrive at Syrup Village in search of a proper ship. There they meet a man claiming to be a pirate captain who also seems to have ties to "Red-Haired" Shanks.

Episode 2
After uncovering a devious plot, Usopp warns the village and Kaya, but finds his years of lying make it difficult to convince people of the truth.

Episode 3
Usopp resolves that if he is to keep the peace, the town must continue to believe he is a liar, which means he cannot let Captain Kuro’s men up the slope to the village! Luffy, Zoro, and Nami aid Usopp in his plan to keep the Black Cat Pirates at bay.

Episode 4
Captain Kuro makes his appearance, and with Zoro too injured to fight, Luffy incapacitated, and Usopp and Nami too weak to make a stand, the situation is desperate. However, Kaya herself arrives, intent on bargaining with Kuro.

Episode 5
While the fight between Luffy and Kuro continues, Jango works to force Kaya to bequeath her family's money to the Black Cat captain. Despite the Usopp Pirates' efforts to stop the hypnotist, it seems as if the transaction is all but inevitable.

Episode 6
Kuro's ultimate move attacks everything in the area, friend nor foe notwithstanding, and Luffy becomes enraged by Kuro's lack of regard for his crew.

Episode 7
The island is saved without any villagers ever knowing of the tragedy that almost befell their home. Kaya, grateful to the Straw Hats for what they did, gifts them something invaluable for sailing the high seas. As Luffy and crew prepare to set sail, however, Usopp makes a big decision.
