The Netflix live-action adaption of the bestselling manga One Piece is here. Which characters from the new show are the best?
Netflix's long-awaited live-action adaptation of One Piece is finally here. Based on the iconic anime and manga by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, an enthusiastic would-be pirate who dreams of recovering the legendary One Piece and becoming the King of the Pirates.
9 Garp British actor Vincent Regan plays Vice-Admiral Garp in One Piece. The season's primary antagonist, Garp is a resourceful and obstinate man obsessed with capturing Luffy, later revealed to be his grandson. Garp is responsible for Gol D. Roger's capture, and his motivations to capture Luffy are mostly powered by his fear that his grandson will grow up to become another Roger.
7 Usopp Jacob Romero Gibson plays Usopp in the One Piece live-action adaptation. Usopp is a well-meaning but somewhat ineffective and cowardly young man who dreams of becoming a fearsome warrior of the sea to earn the respect and acknowledgment of his absent father. Zeff is a father figure to Sanji, and the two share a loving, if confrontational, relationship. However, Zeff is a man of honor and courage; his backstory with Sanji is arguably the show's most memorable and emotional storyline. Zeff's intervention is too short, but he will surely return should the show get renewed for a second season, and One Piece will be all the better for it.
4 Nami Nami is One Piece's only major female character so far. A skilled thief with a tortuous past and a handful of secrets, she crosses paths with Luffy as they attempt to steal the Grand Line map. Nami reluctantly joins Luffy's crew, although it's always clear she's hiding something from the others.
2 Sanji The gifted cook Sanji debuts in Episode 5 of One Piece and quickly becomes one of the show's best characters. Charming and shamelessly flirtatious yet daring and somewhat cocky, Sanji is an instantly likable character with a unique fighting style and a killer fashion sense.
