One Pieceis the work that has given Eiichiro Oda fame and limelight, brought him immeasurable success, and secured his place as arguably the most incredible author of all time.
However, before working on his series, he worked under many people to gain experience and wrote several one-shot manga series.
They were later compiled in a volume calledWanted, which included five different one-shots, and one of the stories is getting an anime adaptation.

Monsteris an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s one-shot, which will be released in January 2024. The story revolves around a samurai named Ryuma, a legendary swordsman, going against a dragon who destroyed his hometown.
At the end of the one-shot chapters, Oda sensei answered some questions and revealed many facts about the story. He said:
Dragon-slaying manga, Monsters. I kinda forced the title when I made this manga. I mean, when I drew this, I was in the mood for titles with ‘ters’ ending a lot
I thought: ‘Ah, there will be a dragon and a bunch of strong guys. They’re all like monsters. That’s it: Monsters!
Monsterswill premiere on Netflix on June 01, 2025, and fans are very excited to see the series and have very high expectations since Oda sensei wrote it.
