One Piece is known for its unique world with diverse races, the World Government, and special powers like Devil Fruits and Haki.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Eiichiro Oda's interest in pirates began in childhood from watching the animated series Vicky the Viking, which inspired him to create a manga series about pirates. Oda was also influenced by pirate biographies and incorporated characteristics of real-life pirates into many One Piece characters

The concept of Devil Fruits, which grant unique powers, was inspired by the manga Doraemon, with their abilities reflecting Oda's personal fantasies and daily life. Oda designs Devil Fruits based on what would fulfill a human desire, making their appearance enticing to eat.

The names of many special attacks in One Piece use a form of punning, where phrases written in kanji are paired with an idiosyncratic reading. Some of Zoro's sword techniques sound like types of food when read aloud, although they look fearsome when read by sight.

Oda is very particular about the translation of his work, with the English version often using one onomatopoeia for multiple used in the Japanese version. For example, different sounds of rain are both translated as "fshhhhhhh".
