Netflix’s live-action One Piece sends Luffy to the Grand Line to become king of the pirates
Luffy and the Straw Hats are almost on Netflix. The live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga arrives on the streaming service on August 31, and Netflix has released its longest trailer yet to give fans another preview of the show. Netflix released the latest A piece trailer on Friday in honor of One Piece Day, which falls on July 22 annually.
The trailer shows a little more about the crew’s journey than we’ve seen before, including looks at the ship and the Straw Hats’ flag. We also get a glimpse of the villains they’ll face this season, including Buggy the Star Clown.
Netflix also has one new letter from Oda himself he praised the creators of the series and the actors and shared how much he enjoyed working with them:
There was so much involved – all the effort of the actors, building the world and the costumes, presenting things in a way that can only be done live, the dialogue – and the whole process of so many people putting their heads together was a celebration in itself.
Oda also made it clear how excited he is that after seven years of work, this series is finally being seen by people.
“By now I just love the production team and cast so much I can’t wait for them to get the acclaim they deserve from everyone around the world,” said Oda.
A piece will have eight episodes in its first live-action season. All episodes will be available to stream when the series releases on August 31.
