Daily puzzle #20

The answer: One Piece

Anime · 1999 · Toei Animation

Its length scares people off, but fans will tell you the Arlong Park arc, about 40 episodes in, is where it hooks you. Eiichiro Oda plans his world decades ahead, and small details pay off hundreds of chapters later. The live action Netflix series is a quicker way into the early story if a thousand episodes feels like too much.

The six clues

1. An anime series that began in 1999 and is still running, with more than a thousand episodes.
2. It adapts Eiichiro Oda's manga, which holds the record for most copies published by a single author.
3. A boy who ate a cursed fruit has a body made of rubber.
4. He sets sail to find the legendary treasure left behind by the late King of the Pirates.
5. His crew includes a swordsman who fights with three swords and a reindeer who is a doctor.
6. Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates search for Gol D. Roger's treasure.
