If becoming King of the Pirates were easy, then every pirate in One PIECEwould be following in the notorious Gold Roger’s footsteps right now. To truly rule over the East Blue and find Gold Roger’s treasure, the One Piece, you have to be willing to face obstacles, including your fellow pirates — not to mention Marines.
That’s why Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) has won the hearts of his Straw Hats crew — swordsman Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), navigator Nami (Emily Rudd), marksman Usopp (Jacob Romero) and chef Sanji (Taz Skylar) — and fans of Eiichiro Oda’s pirate manga series the world over. Luffy’s resilience and determination to realize his and his friends’ dreams have inspired fans to follow him as well.
But along the way on the Straw Hats’ journey to the Grand Line, they encounter a number of adversaries — outlaws and otherwise — who try to come between...

During the festival’s Q/A session, Taz recounted his very first exposure to criticism and it was around the time when the One Piece casting news came out. He revealed that his friends informed him that his name was trending on Twitter alongside references to his resemblance to rapper Eminem.

I do kind of look a little bit like Em,” he added.

Luffy might be famous for his brave deeds, the endless kindness in his heart, and his inhalation of food like a black hole in One Piece. But the one thing he isn’t interested in is perverted adventures. When it comes to women, he is the complete opposite of Sanji.
Even when Boa Hancock fell head over heels for Luffy, he did not break character for a second. So when fans observed him getting a nosebleed over Nami, a lot of questions arose in their minds. Did Luffy have a crush on Nami? Does she really look that amazing?
Eiichiro Oda has put an end to all your queries in an Sbs section from volume 54 of One Piece.

The One Piece Live-Action has excelled in almost every aspect of creating a successful anime adaptation. The series has got the best of every world, be it editing or storyline, but the cast was the main thing it got just right. The actors who portrayed the roles of One Piece characters, especially the Straw Hat crew are one of the most important reasons why the series became such a huge success.
Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Jacob Romero as Usopp, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Emily Rudd as Nami were perfect in their character portrayals.

Taz Skylar’s portrayal of Sanji is one of the rare few moments when a live-action adaptation of an anime gets it right. Eiichiro Oda is perhaps having the time of his life with the skyrocketing fame One Piece has gained in the past two years. From Gear 5 to the live-action series, it is one win after another for the mangaka.

After the disaster that was M. Night Shyamalan‘s adaptation of Nickelodeon’s brilliant animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Netflix is here with another adaptation and the hopes for this one are kind of high because the last Netflix live-action adaptation of One Piece was loved by new and existing fans of the IP. Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the adventures of a young boy named Aang, who is the world’s only hope to defeat the tyrannical Fire Nation. To do that he has to master all of the elements and in this adventure, he is helped by Katara and Zukko. While, Netflix’s live-action adaptation is not a direct adaptation of the animated series, as it is much more of a dramatic and visual feast than the comedic animated adventure like the animated series.

After experiencing enormous success with its live-action version of the manga and anime One Piece last year, Netflix quickly revealed the second season of the show in response to the positive feedback they received. Now, they’re trying again with a live-action adaptation of the cartoon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” which was previously brought to life by director M. Night Shyamalan but failed miserably almost immediately for a number of reasons.

In what was probably their first Hollywood red carpet appearance post-strike, One Piece cast members Iñaki Godoy and Jacob Romero showed up at the premiere for Netflix’s new live-action series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and teased where season 2 could go.
While the duo largely remained mum on start of production plans for Season 2, which is expected to begin filming relatively soon, and whether they have seen scripts. One Piece co-showrunner Matt Owens told Deadline back in October that the Season 2 writers room had met briefly before the WGA strike, with the team getting into writing scripts after the end of the work stoppage this past fall. Romero confirmed the Straw Hats’ mission next season.

Attention, Straw Hat Grand Fleet! We come bearing good news – Netflix have confirmed that live-action manga and anime adaptation One Piece has been renewed for a second season on the streaming service. It’s not surprising, given that the show has been dominating the Netflix charts since it premiered, and fans of the original material have praised how well the series has been translated to the small screen.
The series stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, a young, stretch-superpowered pirate who assembles a crew to help him search the Blue Sea for the mythical One Piece treasure in order for him to become King of the Pirates. Other cast members include Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

There’s a version of “One Piece” that follows Eiichiro Oda’s original manga more closely. In the original story, the East Blue Saga chronicles Luffy and his pirate crew’s adventures right until they hit Loguetown, the last big port before they hit the Grand Line — a stretch of sea known for bigger, badder pirates and more impressive treasure.
It’s a storytelling formula that’s common in manga. You spend the first major arc building up your hero and introducing viewers to the stakes of this world and end the story right before the next major challenge. But instead of ending with a multi-enemy fight at Loguetown, the first season of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece” stops right before that, ending with Luffy’s (Iñaki Godoy) fight with Arlong (McKinley Belcher III). The culprit? Berries — er, money.

It looks like Netflix won't be giving "One Piece" the "Cowboy Bebop" treatment. The new live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga has just been renewed for a second season, as announced by the author himself. "Two weeks after the launch, I just received some great news. Netflix has decided to renew the show!" Oda shared in a message via "Transponder Snail." He added: "The adventures of Iñaki and the live-action Straw Hats will continue onward!"
The live-action "One Piece" premiered on the streamer in late August and has been met with praise from fans of both the manga and Toei Animation's long-running anime adaptation. With 20 seasons of that series and counting, plus 106 volumes of the manga, there's plenty more source material for the latest iteration of the story to pull from. The series follows a crew of adventurers called the Straw Hat Pirates, led by semi-superpowered Monkey D.

Just two weeks after the premiere of One Piece, Netflix has officially announced the live-action series has been renewed for season two. One Piece‘s creator and illustrator Eiichiro Oda even shot a short video – with the help of a Transponder Snail – confirming the good news. Oda hinted that season two will find the Straw Hat crew in need of a doctor, and then drew Tony Tony Chopper.
Oda’s message also asked fans, both those who love the popular Manga and those who were just introduced to Monkey D. Luffy and his ragtag crew, to be patient. The ongoing writers and actors strike is going to push back the start of production for the just-announced second season.

Fans had every right to approach Netflix and Tomorrow Studios’ One Piece with trepidation. Live-action adaptations of anime and manga have had a troubled history of just being downright terrible, with some of them like Adam Wingard’s Death Note coming from Netflix themselves. Fans were on high alert from the moment the streamer announced an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved One Piece manga. However, as more information such as castings came to light and that first trailer dropped, I found myself doing something very much in the spirit of the Straw Hat Pirates: against all the odds, I dared to dream – and those dreams were answered.
For the unfamiliar, the basic gist of One Piece is that it’s an action-adventure series following Monkey D. Luffy, (Iñaki Godoy) a joy-filled pirate who sets out to sea in search of his dream – finding a legendary treasure and becoming the next King of the Pirates.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga series One Piece launched last week and seems to have been a big success. Fans are eager for more, and producers told Variety that scripts for One Piece season 2 are already complete.
“We’ve got scripts ready,” said Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, which produces the series. Production on One Piece season 2 obviously can’t get underway until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved, but once they’re able to start, Tomorrow Studios president Beck Clements said the new season could debut as early as next year. “Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility,” Clements said. “Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air.“
