Yes, that is right. The countdown to One Piece is on, and Netflix is ready to welcome fans to its fleet. The Straw Hat crew is coming to live-action television, and this major adaptation has anime fans on edge. After all, the show was closely overseen by series creator Eiichiro Oda, and its cast has been nothing short of superb. Now, we can see what the show will bring about in its 8-episode run, so you can read up on season one below:
- “Romance Dawn” – Monkey D. Luffy, an optimistic young pirate with dreams of finding the One Piece, sets off in search of the loyal crew he needs to navigate the vast oceans. His journey begins when he helps Koby, a deckhand forced into servitude, escape an undesirable situation. While in Shells Town, Luffy meets Roronoa Zoro, a famed pirate hunter, and Nami, a master thief, and the three form a tenuous alliance.
- “The Man in the Straw Hat” – Luffy, Zoro, and Nami find themselves imprisoned on an island overtaken by the deranged clown pirate, Buggy. Koby joins the Marines and proves his mettle.
- “Tell No Tales” – Luffy, Zoro, and Nami land in Syrup Village where they meet Usopp, a local who introduced the group to Kaya, a sickly shipyard heiress under the care of a trio of overbearing house staff. With the help of Koby, Vice Admiral Garp, a powerful marine, sets off in search of Luffy.
- “The Pirates Are Coming” – Luffy, Zoro, and Nami fight their way through Kaya’s mansion which has now become a prison. Uospp enlists the help of Koby, Helmeppo, and the Marines. Luffy finally gets the ship of his dreams as Garp closes in.
- “Eat at Baratie!” – Luffy and the gang are tested in their ability to fight together on the high seas. They arrive at Baratie, a floating restaurant, where they encounter Sanji, a young chef with a love of fine dining. A duel on the docks shocks the group.
- “The Chef and the Chore Boy” – The group is ambushed by a threat no one sees coming. After a hard-fought battle at the Baratie, Sanji finally follows his dreams while another crew member shows their true colors.
- “The Girl With the Sawfish Tattoo” – The crew comes to the aid of a member in dire need of family.
