According to the
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_One_Piece_films), there are
13 _One Piece_ movies.

As a new viewer to the series (haven't watched the anime at all), is watching
all the movies enough to understand the storyline, or are there some specific
movies that can be enjoyed without knowing the _One Piece_ universe?

one-piece
Is it possible to understand the One Piece storyline by watching the movies only?


If you want to follow the story of _One Piece_ , your only choice is either to
watch the anime or to read the manga (you will complete it much faster since
you can read a chapter in few minutes). Also a big bonus point for the manga
is that there is no filler.

Regarding the movies, most of them are not-canon which means they don't fit in
the story of _One Piece_. You can view them as a spin-off, which takes the
existing characters and world setup but tells a totally different story that
is in no way connected to the anime/manga.

So, in short, the only way to follow _One Piece_ is either to read the manga
or watch the anime.

answer


One Piece movies are extra mini-arcs beyond the original storyline. The movies
have all the main characters and Oda (the author) has been involved with some
of them, but they are not part of the main storyline.

If you want to understand the One Piece world, read the manga or watch the
anime.
