Netflix is setting sail where no streaming service has gone before when
its new action-packed series One Piece debuts in August.
2. Based on the popular Japanese manga series, One Piece follows the
high-seas adventures of Monkey D. Luffy ( Iñaki Godoy), Roronoa Zoro
(Mackenyu), Nami ( Emily Rudd), Usopp ( Jacob Romero) and Sanji
( Taz Skylar). Luffy is a young adventurer who sets off from his small
village on a journey to “One Piece,” a mythical treasure. To find it,
however, Luffy must find a crew, search the seas and outwit
treacherous rivals along the way.
Adapting the bestselling manga into a high-budget show was a seven-
year process, One Piece‟s creator Eiichiro Oda wrote in a letter Netflix
shared.
“There was so much that went into it — all the efforts by the actors, the
building of the world and the costumes, presenting things in a way that
3. only be done in live action, the dialogue — and the process of so many
people putting their heads together was a festivity in and of itself,” Oda
wrote.
Oda-Sensei was hands-on throughout the process. Once filming
wrapped, the producers even agreed to re-shoot scenes because he felt
“they weren‟t good enough to put into the world.” There were also
some lines he felt didn‟t quite fit the show‟s hero, Luffy.
“But when I saw the filmed scenes, I went, „It works when it‟s Iñaki
performing it as Luffy!” he added. “As a matter of fact, it works great!!‟”
One Piece premieres on Netflix on Aug. 31.
