The Straw Hats will become flesh, blood and rubber in August

The phenomenon of One Piece reaches Netflix and, in the process, the disparate and motley crew of the Going Merry crosses the barriers that separate the brushes of Eiichiro Oda and the anime of the same reality: the highly anticipated first preview of Live Action has been shown during the Tudum event, and its brooch intentionally seeks not to leave fans indifferent: the premiere will take place in August.

And it is that we had already put face (and back) to Luffy and the rest of the protagonists of the Live Action of One Piece

that the streaming video giant has in its hands. We had even seen the costumes they would wear. But, as you will see, by putting both elements together, putting them in context and adding special effects, it gives the whole another color.

What is One Piece about? If we start from the original material and what is shown in the trailer, the story revolves around the dream of a young adventurer named Monkey D. Luffy for becoming the Pirate King. The first step: get a crew capable of keeping up with him and willing to embark on unpredictable seas and oceans until they find the ultimate treasure: One Piece.

Of course, Luffy is much more than a reckless young man (played by Iñaki Godoy) with an ideal: after consuming an exotic devil fruit his body acquired the properties of rubber

, with which it can be stretched and deformed at will. Something that will get you out of a lot of trouble and, surely, it will get you into others.

to the distribution of One PieceNetflix’s Live Action, we must add the rest of the crew to Luffy’s orders, starting with the swordsman Roronoa Zoro (played by Mackenyu), the lookout Nami (Emily Rudd), the rogue of Usopp (Jacob Gibson) and the lovesick cook Sanji (Taz Skylar). A very unique group that under the pirate flag of the Going Merry sets sail in search of adventure.

From here, the big question: when will the Live Action series of One Piece? Netflix will launch the series next August 31.

After the adaptations of Death Note y Cowboy BeebopIt is normal to take this first advance with caution. However, Eiichiro Oda (author of the manga) assured that the first season will not leave port until he is satisfied with the result. At the end he is the one who has the last word. That being said, what did you think of the first trailer for One Piece and you?
