One Piece Box Set 1: East Blue and Baroque Works, Volumes 1-23 (English Edition)

One Piece Box Set 1: East Blue and Baroque Works, Volumes 1-23

As a boy, Monkey D. Luffy wanted to become King of the Pirates. This one piece box set 1 gathers volumes 1 to 23 in English, the first two story arcs of the series: East Blue and Baroque Works.

Everything changed for Luffy when he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit by accident. The Devil Fruit gave him a rubber body that can stretch, and it also took away his ability to swim, which is a real problem for someone who wants to live at sea.

The start of the hunt for the One Piece

Years after eating the fruit, Luffy heads out to find the One Piece, said to be the greatest treasure in the world. The East Blue arc introduces him and the first members of his crew. Baroque Works carries the story into its next major conflict.

Why choose the box over single volumes

The box puts 23 volumes in one package, and the publisher description notes it comes with exclusive extras and a saving compared with buying each book separately. The listing names a booklet among those extras.

Who should buy Box Set 1

This is the natural first purchase for anyone starting One Piece. It covers Luffy’s beginnings, the forming of his crew and the first major conflict of the series, all in volumes 1 to 23. Readers who enjoy it can move on to the later box sets, which continue the story in order. Anime viewers who want to read the manga from the beginning will find the opening arcs here as well.

Since the volumes come boxed, they stay together on the shelf and are easy to give as a gift to a new manga reader. Collectors planning to buy the later boxes usually start here, since those sets pick up where volume 23 leaves off.
