What are the differences between the One Piece anime and manga?


Recently I started watching the One Piece anime and noticed some differences
in the story line than were present in the manga, and I was wondering if there
was a huge divergence in the anime over the manga like with Black Butler, or
more like slight differences in plot like with Fullmetal Alchemist:
Brotherhood.




The anime and manga closely resemble one another.

This is mainly because the mangaka, Eiichiro Oda actually actively
participates into the animation process. So whenever they want a filler
episode, they will contact Eiichiro Oda for confirmation, and he would either
approve or reject it.

I believe the only deviations there were was some part in the beginning of the
anime that did not totally follow the manga, and ace's tattoo. Which later on
got adapted in the manga as well, so not sure how much that would count as a
difference.
