FUNimation announced that they will simulcast One Piece online. Starting May 30 at 10PM EST, FUNimation will stream the first free, English-subtitled episode of One Piece through the official One Piece website. Episodes will be rolled out weekly, roughly one hour after the episode airs on Japanese television.

Beginning today, FUNimation will stream episodes from the Sabaody Archipeligo story arc, which begins at episode 391. The episodes will be available in both dubbed and English-subtitled format.

The One Piece airings will begin with episode 403. FUNimation currently distributes One Piece on American DVD. Four DVD sets are available on western DVD, which cover up to episode 53. The fifth DVD set will hit stores on June 30.
