What Is One Piece About?
As you can imagine, Netflix’s One Piece is based on the hit manga by Eiichiro Oda. If you have read the manga or watched its anime, this first season of Netflix’s One Piece adapts the East Blue saga. It follows Luffy as he finally sets sail from his home island and gains his first crew members. Its story wraps just after the Arlong Park arc, so fans can plan accordingly.
If you aren’t familiar with One Piece at all, welcome aboard! The series stands as one of manga’s best titles of all time for a reason. One Piece tells the tale of Monkey D. Luffy, an adventurous young boy who dreams of being the next King of the Pirates. After consuming a Devil Fruit as a child, Luffy hits the sea as a teen to fulfill his dream and find a crew of his own. However, the sea is filled with horrid pirates who will do anything to gain power which forces Luffy and his Straw Hat crew to show the world how a true pirate should act.
Who Is in One Piece?
The cast of Netflix’s One Piece is impressive from top to bottom. When you look at its crew, the series was created by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda with supervision from Oda himself. Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli composed the show’s score, and a number of producers were involved including Marty Adelstein.
As for its stars, Inaki Godoy plays Luffy while Mackenyu brings Roronoa Zoro to the screen. Emily Rudd plays Nami, Jacob Gibson plays Usopp, and Taz Skylar plays Sanji. Other key cast members include Morgan Davies, Vincent Regan, Peter Gadiot, Jeff Ward, and Aidan Scott.
