Netflix has dropped the first key-art poster and image for its highly-anticipated live action One Piece series, based on the long-running Iconic anime series from a weekly magazine “Jump” created by Eiichiro Oda with the same name. It is scheduled to make its debut sometime later this year.
The key art poster provides us our first glimpse of Iñaki Godoy’s portrayal of Monkey D. Luffy, as he wears the fan-favorite character’s signature red vest and straw hat. In addition to Luffy, the first look at the leading cast has also been revealed in group image, teasing the live-action debuts of Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji.
The story follows Monkey D. Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, who gains the powers to turn his body into rubber after eating a “Devil Fruit.” He ventures around a fantastical world of exotic islands and vast oceans in search of the legendary treasure known as “One Piece” to become the next Pirate King.
Starring Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp and Taz Skylar as Sanji, the live action pirate adventure ONE PIECE is based on the most popular manga series in history created by Eiichiro Oda (who also serves as executive producer).
