Epic poems are long, serious poems that tell a story. Vergil, the greatest Roman epic poet, used both legend and history in the creation of his poem the Aeneid. The history of epic poetry in Rome begins in the 200s B.C., when a Roman slave named Livius Andronicus translated the Odyssey into Latin.

Epics have seven main characteristics:

• The hero is outstanding.
• The setting is large.
• The action is made of deeds of great valour or requiring superhuman courage.
• Supernatural forces—gods, angels, demons—insert themselves in the action.
• It is written in a very special style (verse as opposed to prose).

Epic is a genre of narrative defined by heroic or legendary adventures presented in a long format. Originating in the form of epic poetry, the genre also now applies to epic theatre, epic films, music, novels, stage play, television series, and video games.

The oldest epic recognized is the Epic of Gilgamesh ( c. 2500–1300 BCE), which was recorded in ancient Sumer during the Neo-Sumerian Empire. The poem details the exploits of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk.

10 Strongest Characters in One Piece Ever

• 1)”Pirate King” Gol D. Roger.
• 2)”Whitebeard” Edward Newgate. Dubbed the “strongest man alive” after Roger’s death.
• 3)”Golden Lion” Shiki.
• 4)Monkey D.
• 5)”Red Haired” Shanks.
• 6)”Fleet-Admiral” Sengoku.
• 7)”Garp the Fist” Monkey D.
• 8)”Dark King” Silvers Rayleigh.

Luffy will die at the end of the series, but he won’t be remembered by his real name.

There’s no way One Piece is going to finish with Wano Arc. Oda himself had confirmed that with Wano, 80% of One Piece is complete, not entirely. Reaching Raftel, Showdown with Blackbeard Pirates, Final war against World Government, Journey to Giants’ Elbaf, Destruction of Fishmen Island. There are so much yet to see.

After Luffy succeeded in injuring Akainu completely. He soon runs straight to Sabo to help him defeat Blackbeard (who now has “half” Luffy’s rubber powers) once & for all!

Since Wano Country is based on Japan, Kuri may be translated as “35,345 meters” or “21.96 miles”.
