What will the Plot of Netflix’s live-action version of One Piece be?
Set in an alternate version of Earth, the story occurs during the Golden Age of Pirates, when cruel pirates rule the seas and fight over the legendary treasure “One Piece,” which was once owned by Gol D. Roger, the best pirate of all time. Years after Roger died, a young boy named Monkey D. Luffy wanted to start his own crew, go on a quest to find One Piece, and call himself Pirate King.
After eating a devil fruit, Luffy gets the power to make his body like rubber. This gives him the strength to sail the dangerous seas and fight to become the next Pirate King.
Season 1 will be based on One Piece’s East Blue Saga, and it will be the first time that all Straw Hat Pirates are together.
In January 2022, a pirate ship was seen on the show’s set. It looks like “Miss Love Duck,” a ship with a big duck head on the front that the villain Alvida is in charge of. She is the first big bad guy that Luffy faces in the manga, and it looks like she will also be in the show.
