Best One Piece arcs

Marineford (Chapters 550-580) wins 70% of its duels and tops the One Piece arc ranking ahead of Enies Lobby (Chapters 375-430).

The battle for the top spot is tight: only 13 ELO points separate Marineford at 1510 from Enies Lobby at 1497. But the sharpest drop comes just below, where 49 points divide Enies Lobby from Onigashima (Chapters 978-1057) at rank 3 with 1448 ELO. Water Seven (Chapters 322–374) and Impel Down (Chapters 525–549) round out the top 5, both scoring above 1398 ELO and maintaining win rates near 60%. At the opposite end, the early saga arcs struggle to convince voters: Reverse Mountain (Chapters 101-105) sits at the bottom with 870 ELO, while Long Ring Long Land (Chapters 303-321) barely edges it out at 883 despite its later placement in the manga timeline.

This ranking draws on 6575 duels submitted by 58 players across 32 contenders, last updated on 12 October 2026. Whether you side with the emotional weight of Marineford or the relentless action of Enies Lobby, your vote shapes the outcome.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
