Apart from its compelling story and memorable cast, One Piece is known for its excellent world-building. From buildings made of cake to islands in the sky, the series has introduced many unique concepts over the years. In a recent Reddit post, u/AlwaysWipes shared a series of images that perfectly summarize the world of One Piece.

According to the artist, the project took a total of 152 hours and is meant to be viewed in an infinite format.
u/AlwaysWipes describes their piece as “a giant tunnel with each arc summarized in a circular pattern.” Every image pays tribute to a different saga, with each island portraying a different arc in the story. Starting with Gol D. Roger’s execution, the images show Arabasta, Sky Island, and Water 7. The breathtaking work concludes the series’ first half by combining Thriller Bark with the heartbreaking Summit War Saga.
The artist begins the post-timeskip period with an eye-catching visual of Fishman Island. They then show the turbulence of Dressrosa and the whimsical nature of Whole Cake Island. For the longest arc in the series, u/AlwaysWipes depicts Wano as a spiral with the mysterious Imu in the foreground. In addition to Egghead, they also include other important islands such as Sphinx, Hachinosu, and Elbaf. The artist concludes the piece by showing their avatar, Pandaman, lying on a pile of treasure.
