Netflix has presented fans around the world with the first images of the live action adaptation of the One Piece manga… and it makes you want to!
It is one of the most widely read manga in the world and all the fans were waiting to see what Netflix was going to do with it. The American giant took advantage of its global event called Tudum – which AlloCiné attended – to unveil a first trailer for One Piece, as well as the launch date.
Subscribers therefore have an appointment on August 31 to meet Monkey D. Luffy and his team of pirates. For those who do not know the universe created by Eiichirô Oda, here is the synopsis of One Piece in a few lines:
There was a time when Gold Roger was the greatest of all pirates, the “Pirate King” was his nickname. Upon his death, his priceless treasure known as “One Piece” was hidden somewhere on the “Grand Line”. Many pirates went in search of this treasure but all died before they even reached it. Monkey D. Luffy dreams of finding this legendary treasure and becoming the new “Pirate King”. After eating a devil fruit, he possesses a power allowing him to realize his dream. Now he has to find a crew to go on an adventure!
This live action adaptation of One Piece has caused a lot of ink to flow in recent months. If some rumors suggested that the first review-tests were negative, this trailer seems to make everyone agree, fans or uninitiated, being quite faithful to the universe. In particular the hero, camped by the energetic and promising Inaki Godoy. The Mexican actor, expert on the manga, did not fail to set fire to Tudum, alongside the actors who interpret Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji.
So, ready(s) to embark with them?
