One Piece Filler-Free Watch Order Guide. One Piece Best Arcs!
A Gigantic series such as One Piece is bound to have Fillers. As the Anime is approaching its 1000th episode, the series is gathering more fans as time passes by. But, for a new watcher they fall into a dilemma about what episodes to watch and which of them to skip!
This post will clarify almost everything about One Piece. And also the complete Filler Episode. But, one thing is worth to cheer that unlike other Anime One Piece doesn’t have a lot of Filler despite having so many episodes.
Important Arcs & Release Order
The sheer size of One Piece has created an entire sect of “Important” and “Unimportant” arcs. But, there’s nothing to fret about how to watch as the order is pretty simple!
At present One Piece has a total of 9 Sagas, and under those Sagas come the Arcs. At present the manga is at the end of the 9th Saga and also the last portion of the arc(Wano Arc).

Anime-Only Arcs
Since One Piece is still and ongoing manga, there are times when the Anime’s pace surpass the Manga’s. Hence, to avoid a “Black Clover” scenario, Toei Animation has to release some extra Arcs to keep the audience engaged and for Oda to have enough time to draw the manga. You can call these fillers, but even for a Filler, the story is quite interesting to watch.
