In the phenomenally popular anime series One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy is on a quest to become king of all pirates and claim the most precious treasure on the planet. The anime turns 25 this year, a memorable moment for the multiple generations of fans who’ve followed Luffy and crew throughout these adventurous decades.

Quick take: The universe created by manga artist Eiichiro Oda has spawned a franchise that’s evolved far beyond its original Japanese graphic novel, first published in 1997. Besides the manga and anime series, there are figurines, movies, live-action series and endless card games, as well as millions of fans worldwide. And, of course, the Straw Hat Pirates’ jolly roger is recognisable across seas, continents and generations.

For both eternal fans and newcomers, anime streaming app Crunchyroll is the best place to dive into the One Piece universe. Here’s why:
