Yes, the original 1999 One Piece anime is available on Netflix, but no single country has a complete, English-friendly library.
As of February 2026, Netflix US hosts the "beginning" (East Blue to Marineford) and the "current" (Egghead) arcs, but is missing hundreds of episodes in the middle (like Dressrosa and Wano).β
To watch the entire series from start to finish on Netflix, you must switch regions using a VPN. Netflix Japan has every episode (1100+) but no English subtitles. For English speakers, the best strategy is often jumping between US (for early/late arcs) and other regions, or using a VPN to access specialized anime platforms.

Important Update (Feb 2026): The One Piece anime is currently on a short production hiatus and will return with new episodes in April 2026.
If you are binge-watching and suddenly hit a wall after the "Marineford" arc, you aren't alone. Netflix licenses anime in "blocks." In the US, they have licensed the early nostalgia arcs and the brand-new episodes (to compete with Crunchyroll), but they haven't paid for the massive block of episodes in the middle.β
The VPN Solution:
If you are an English speaker, sticking to Netflix alone is difficult for a full binge. However, you can use a VPN to unblock the US library if you are in Europe (where the show is often totally absent).
If you are in a region like the UK, Germany, or Australia where the anime library is small or non-existent, you can access the massive US catalog using a VPN.
Download VPN - Super Unlimited Proxy. It allows you to change your virtual location for free on iOS and Android.
Open the app and select United States (New York or Los Angeles). This gives you access to the largest English-subtitled library of One Piece on Netflix.
Search for "One Piece." You should now see the 1999 anime appear with multiple seasons available.
Note for "Live Action" Fans: If you are looking for the IΓ±aki Godoy Live Action series, you don't need a VPN! It is available globally in all Netflix regions. (Season 2 arrives March 10, 2026).
The 1999 Toei Animation series is the original adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga. It follows Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates as they sail the Grand Line. It is famous for its world-building, emotional depth, and spanning over 25 years of continuous broadcasting.
Don't let your region lock you out of the Grand Line. Whether you are starting from Episode 1 in the East Blue or catching up on the latest Egghead drama, VPN - Super Unlimited Proxy helps you access the content you need.
