One Piece began as a Japanese manga series that grew into one of the longest-running anime franchises in the world, following Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew. Its upbeat opening themes have become closely associated with adventure and friendship, and fans have long cut them down into short phone ringtones and notification sounds. In Italy, where the anime has a large following, searches for a One Piece suoneria remain common, keeping the short theme clip popular as a personal ringtone rather than just a piece of background music.
