And, of course, Luffy's famed Devil Fruit ability is showcased, with his rubbery powers taking center stage in a larger-than-life manner.
Fans of "One Piece" have been eagerly anticipating this adaptation for years, and their enthusiasm has only been heightened by the fact that the series has received the full approval and involvement of its creator, Eiichiro Oda. Oda had previously expressed his intention to explore a live-action adaptation of his beloved manga, and Netflix was fortunate enough to secure the licensing rights for the project. Oda himself joined the production as a producer, ensuring that his vision and meticulous attention to detail would be upheld.
In a recent letter to fans, Oda shared his excitement for the live-action adaptation, revealing that it had been in the works for quite some time. "The live-action version is something we've been working on behind the scenes even while making [One Piece Film] Red and [One Piece] Stampede," Oda wrote. The creator's active involvement in the project sets this adaptation apart, making it a first for Netflix's foray into anime-based series.
