The King of Pirates
|
In the anime and manga One Piece, the fictional King of Pirates is the strongest pirate alive and owner of the legendary treasure known as The One Piece. "Kaizoku-Ō", the source of the term, literally means "Pirate King".
The English manga initially used "Pirate King" but later switched to "King of Pirates". After "King of Pirates" became used in the manga, 4Kids chose to use "King of Pirates" for the dub of One Piece.
The previous King of Pirates, Gold Roger, hid the One Piece deep inside The Grand Line somewhere before he was caught and executed. Because nobody has yet found the One Piece, there currently is no new King of Pirates.
