It's almost time for the premiere of the One Piece live-action series and we're finally learning more about the highly anticipated adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga. For instance, a new clip from the Netflix show highlights the dynamic between Sanji and Chef Zeff. Interestingly, the two couldn't agree on anything despite having to work together at the Baratie!
The new One Piece live-action clip opens with Sanji working on a special dish in the Baratie kitchen. One of his companions goads him for working on something so different but he simply shrugs it off and declares the order up. Unfortunately for the young chef, Chef Zeff is the one who checks on the dish and says it is only worthy of the garbage can. The head chef then orders Sanji to wait on tables in the restaurant.
It's just a short clip but it is already clear that Sanji and Chef Zeff don't exactly get along. Although the two are working together at the famous restaurant out at sea, they often clash, mostly because of Sanji's flirty approach towards the customers.
But why can't Sanji and Chef Zeff get along? Despite their obvious animosity, the two have a strange relationship that will unfold in the upcoming episodes of One Piece. With that in mind, we can't wait to see how the Baratie operates in the live-action series.
We previously got a glimpse at Craig Fairbrass as Chef Zeff and fans all agreed that his version of the One Piece character is the most precise one so far in the upcoming adaptation. It's certainly an excellent role for Fairbrass, who is best known for providing the voice of Simon "Ghost" Riley in the Call of Duty video game series.
The first season of the One Piece live-action show will consist of eight episodes that are set to adapt the manga's Romance Dawn arc. The series will finally begin streaming on Netflix on August 31, 2023.
