Although Funimation's dub would directly follow the 4Kids version for the series' Cartoon Network broadcast, the production team behind the new dub was entirely different. Consequently, Funimation replaced every cast member, used less strict editing than 4Kids and retained the original music with the Japanese theme music replaced with an English cover of the same song.

Funimation's dub was well received for its voice acting, dialogue and music. Episodes would still be edited to meet Cartoon Network's standards; for example, Sanji's cigarette, which 4Kids had re-drawn into a lollipop, was removed entirely. The broadcast version of the dub retained previously-established names and terminology from the 4Kids dub and video games, while the "Uncut" version intended for home video would use more accurate naming; for example, while "Zolo" was used on TV, "Zoro" was used in all other releases of the same episodes.

In North America, Funimation's edited dub concluded with Episode in March, ; the dub would continue to air in Australia, where it soon switched from edited to uncut versions. Episode , the last episode of the Skypiea Arc, aired January 7, , and has rerun once before being put on hiatus again. In May , Funimation released their first uncut DVD of the series, starting from the first episode and catching up to "Season Three", the batch of episodes that they had initially dubbed.

The series aired at 1 AM without edits for content; however, as per Toonami practice, the opening and ending credits were shortened to 30 seconds and the next episode previews were removed. The uncut version of the English dub doesn't use the censored dialogue from the television broadcast and reverts the majority of the 4Kids terms to more accurate transliterations of the Japanese names. For the dub, English covers of the theme music were initially used, but they were unable to continue this practice from Episode due to licensing issues.

Kokoro no Chizu with the Japanese logo top and the American version bottom. While some of the subtitled versions released online use the unaltered Japanese footage, some minor branding and translation changes are made for the English dub presentation; the Japanese logo is replaced by a gold-colored variant and the credits and episode titles are replaced with English translations.

From Episode , other captions, such as those introducing characters, were replaced with English versions too. The movies and TV specials swap between Japanese and English credits on a case-by-case basis, with Japanese-language credits generally followed by silent English ones. The DVDs of the series only use the English credits, but from Kokoro no Chizu include the original unaltered logo in the "Textless Opening" special feature; for previous texless openings, We Are!

For the first episodes, the English-language credits reference the cast and crew for both languages, although not every credit from the Japanese version is translated.

Additional credits covering the Japanese production, such as the theme music, are included from Episode From Episode onward, the translated credits only refer to the Japanese production and credit fewer people than previous episodes did; silent English dub credits follow each episode, again with fewer credited cast and crew than before.

For the first 26 episodes, a version of Zoro's eyecatcher is used which erroneously reads "Zolo". All of Funimation's disc releases contain the uncut English dub and original Japanese audio with translated English subtitles. While the Japanese TV series and specials are mixed in stereo, the English dub was up-mixed to 5. Where applicable, the video track uses the localized English version of the credits. Funimation's first DVD release of the franchise was the movie Episode of Alabasta on February 19, , with a Blu-ray release following on January 27, Initially, the series was only released on DVD, despite Episode onward being animated in HD and Japanese Blu-ray releases being available for all episodes from In addition to the full episodes, the TV series includes a "Marathon Play" option which skips the theme music and previews between episodes.

Most Voyages also contain a episodes with audio commentary from the American cast and crew; Season 9 also featured Video Commentaries with picture-in-picture footage of the commentators. From 'Season 4: Voyage 4', Funimation began also including interviews with the English cast in different formats; 'On The Boat: Behind the Scenes of One Piece' features are around 15 minutes long and feature ADR Director Mike McFarland interviewing a voice actor and discussing their character and overall thoughts on the show.

Later features use a similar format and feature multiple voice actors. Additionally, One Piece releases have featured convention panels, outtakes from the English dub and comedy sketches with the American cast. One Piece has confirmed the release date for the next wave of English dubbed episodes! After a long hiatus, One Piece fans were given a major boost when Funimation confirmed that work on the English dub release of the series was resuming back in late In the year since, the series has gone beyond the Punk Hazard arc and finally broke through to Dressrosa with Season 11 of the dub premiering last December.

Ever since, fans had been eagerly waiting for the next wave of episodes. Thankfully that wait will soon be over as Funimation has confirmed the release date for the next batch!

This includes episodes through of the original series, which continues the next phase of the Dressrosa arc. Elegy for a Lying Wolf!
