Crunchyroll has scored quite the coup here by now adding One Piece to its roster starting November 2nd at 10pm ET for the first episode under the deal with #619. The episodes will be available to both premium and free uses and previous episodes will be added to the esrvice at a later date. One Piece will be available to Crunchyroll’s audience in the following territories: USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America.
The series is also carried through the One Piece Official site that FUNimation operates and has for several years now and will likely continue doing as well since the more markets for the show, the better the penetration, and the more DVDs they’re likely to sell.
Plot concept: One Piece sets sail on the high seas with Monkey. D. Luffy as he and his crew, the Straw Hat Crew, search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece. Currently in its 16th season, the Punk Hazard arc, the Straw Hat Crew find themselves heading to the island of Punk Hazard answering a distress call originating from there. Once ashore, they discover an ex-navy scientist, Caesar Clown, performing experiments on children. Teaming up with the prisoners on the island, Luffy and his crew attempt to stop Caesar and his henchman once and for all.
