One Piece has 15 movies and 13 specials, all of which are considered extra material for the anime, so they do not affect the story told by the manga.
Therefore, both the movies and specials are not necessary to watch to understand the plot, so feel free to only watch the anime if you wish since only this one was adapted from the manga.
But if you want to watch the movies and ovas in chronological order, to enjoy all the available content of the series, in the following list I show you how to do it in order, explaining which are remakes or summaries of some One Piece arcs:
