Oda went on to work as an assistant to some of the biggest manga artists in the industry, before winning the Hop Step Award for new manga artists. His pirate adventure ONE PIECE, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1997, has over 430 million copies in print and is one of the most popular manga properties in Japan and the rest of the world.
