One Piece hits 600 million, Oda seals series secret in sunken chest

One Piece has surpassed 600 million copies in circulation. To mark the milestone, creator Eiichiro Oda wrote down the true secret of the One Piece — the treasure sought by Monkey D. Luffy — sealed the note inside a small treasure chest and sank it in the ocean until the series ends.

A video shared on social media shows Oda seated at his desk in darkness, carefully writing the truth about the One Piece and Luffy. After sealing the document he locks it inside a miniature chest, sends it off with a team of divers, and encloses it in a device resembling a Log Pose before lowering it into a designated area of the ocean.

Publishing company Shuesha has acknowledged One Piece has sold 600 million copies after Japanese charting company Oricon last year shared information confirming those numbers.
