With only a few days left before the release of Netflix’s One Piece, anime fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming show. For a long time now, anime fans have been waiting to see the Straw Hat crew take over Hollywood, and it’s safe to say that their time has come. Before the release of the One Piece live-action TV show, the show’s cast came together to recreate a cover art from the manga's Volume 11 titled The Meanest Man in the East.
The image is courtesy of Netflix, as the platform decided to bring the entire gang of the show together for a pre-strike photo shoot. The cast dressed up in some familiar clothes in order to recreate the cover art of Volume 11 of One Piece. This epic recreation further proves that the selection of the cast was spot-on, so now fans are waiting to see how the actors’ performances are.
Inaki Godoy plays the role of Monkey D. Luffy and can be seen standing behind the chair in a fancy patterned shirt, while Mackenyu Zoro stands looking stylish in all-black clothes. Taz Skylar can be seen on the right side, wearing a low-cut button-down shirt, while Jacob Gibson, who plays the role of Usopp, is shown sitting on the ground. Lastly, Emily Rudd perfectly rounds up the group wearing a two-piece outfit that perfectly goes with her character Nami.
Netflix’s One Piece features an amazing cast, with each character perfectly portraying their characters. It seems like the group was taken directly from Eiichiro Oda’s manga, and we’re loving it. Now, we can’t wait to see their performances on screen once the show releases this week.
Netflix’s One Piece Cast
The live-action version of One Piece features a stellar cast, with Iñaki Godoy playing the role of Monkey D. Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Taz Skylar as Sanji, Mackenyu Arata as Roronoa Zoro, and Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp. Not only this, but we also have Langley Kirkwood portraying the role of Captain Morgan, Aidan Scott as Helmeppo, Steven John Ward as Dracule Mihawk, Jeff Ward as Buggy, Peter Gadiot as Shanks, McKinley Belcher III as Arlong, and Craig Fairbrass as Chef Zeff. The cast seems pretty interesting, right?
Here's the official synopsis for Netflix's One Piece:
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer "Red-Haired" Shanks. But Luffy's life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure...one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world...
Netflix's One Piece is set to premiere on August 31, 2023.
