The Straw Hat Pirates might be venturing forth in their final journey in One Piece’s manga, but Netflix is set to take viewers back to the beginning via its upcoming live-action adaptation. Most of the new television show’s cast has been revealed at this point, as actor Taz Skylar will be bringing the Straw Hat’s chef, Sanji, to life and a new compilation clip shows how high Skylar can kick in preparation of bringing the fan-favorite anime character to life.

Besides Taz Skylar as Sanji, the remaining Straw Hat Pirates that will be arriving in Netflix’s first season include Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, and Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp. Set to adapt the East Blue Saga Arc, fans have been waiting on pins and needles to see footage from the One Piece live-action adaptation, crossing their fingers in hope that it will be able to live up to the high standard of the anime franchise.
Twitter Outlet New World Artur shared the compilation of Taz Skylar’s training to become Sanji, with the actor getting into the role by delivering some seriously high kicks, while also sharing his cooking skills on his personal Instagram account:
The creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, will be an executive producer on the live-action series and had this to say last year when it came to the actors that will be portraying Luffy and his crew:
“Their face, the size of their mouths and hands, their aura, the way they carry themselves, their voice, their acting skills, their height, the balance amongst the Straw Hat Crew, etc…! We decided on this cast after numerous discussions involving people around the world! These are the people who will be our Straw Hat Pirates! It’ll take a bit more time to get this show done, but we’ll continue to do our best to deliver a show that we’re confident will be enjoyed by everyone around the world! Look forward to more updates in the future!”
There isn’t currently a release date set for the arrival of the anticipated live-action adaptation of One Piece, though there will be plenty of anime fans looking to dive into this new take on the Straw Hats and the world of the Grand Line.
