One Piece is one of the longest-running anime. The Toei Animation series has aired over 1,000 episodes since 1999 and is ongoing at the time of this writing. With so many episodes, it might be helpful to trim the filler, so here are all confirmed canon episodes of One Piece.
All One Piece Canon Episodes, Confirmed
East Blue (Episodes 1-61)
The first season of the series, which consists of 61 episodes, is titled The East Blue Saga. The humble beginnings of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew are explored in this season, introducing the first few members as well as the Straw Hats’ journey to The Grand Line. This season is the easier one to get through in terms of Canon and filler episodes, and goes as such:
- Episodes 1-44: Canon
- Episodes 45-47: Mixed Canon & Filler
- Episodes 50-51: Filler
- Episodes 52-53: Canon
- Episodes 54-60: Filler
- Episode 61: Mixed Canon/Filler
Alabasta (Episodes 62-135)
The second season of One Piece, titled the Alabasta Saga, contains 74 episodes and explores the first few islands of the Grand Line while the Straw Hats also bring in new members. It’s also in this season that Luffy faces his first big challenge: the Warlord of the Sea, Sir Crocodile.

Skypeia (Episodes 136-206)
The third season of One Piece is 71 episodes and tells the story of the Skypeia arc from the manga. Skypeia revolved around the Straw Hats learning of and then visiting a Sky Island, only for it to be revealed that the Sky People who live there are under the cruel leadership of a malevolent god.
- Episodes 136-143: Filler
- Episodes 144-195: Canon
- Episodes 196-206: Filler
This season is probably the smoothest in regards to its transition between filler and manga canon episodes. Whereas Albasta had the canon episodes scattered and even some that had filler content in between manga stories, Skypea managed to get its entire story done in a string of episodes. The canon episodes are preceded and followed by filler episodes, making them easy to skip and move on to the next big story arc.
Water 7 (Episodes 207-325)
Water 7 is often considered the best arc of the series.

Fishman Island (Episodes 517-574)
The Fishman Island arc of the One Piece anime is, just like the manga, the first-time-skip arc where we get a stronger and more experienced Straw Hat Crew. Their first stop before they enter the New World is Fishman Island, featuring the return of Jinbe and the introduction of the villain Hordy Jones. This is a shorter arc at just 58 episodes, and here are the ones that are canon:

Punk Hazard (Episodes 575-629)

Dressrosa (Episodes 630-746)
Dressrosa is another lengthy adaptation to the One Piece manga arc of the same name. At 117 episodes, Dressrosa is incredibly epic with its gladiatorial fights and its focus on the Straw Hats’ temporary ally, Trafalgar Law, and his relationship with the long-built-up Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo. The best and worst part of this arc is that there are no filler episodes in this arc. Unfortunately, because of the lack of filler, the pacing of this season is noticeably slower and more drawn out than anything thus far. Here are the episodes you need to power through:
- Episodes 630-746: Canon

This arc of the anime and manga sees the Straw Hats split into two different groups.

Reverie (Episodes 879-891)
The Reverie arc is the intersection of all the previous arcs, showing characters who had interacted with or been saved by the Straw Hat. All of the episodes in this arc are canon, and being the shortest season of the One Piece anime at 13 episodes, it’s a breeze to get through.
