Buggy was extraordinarily difficult to depict without looking too ridiculous says Jobst.
The Big Picture Translating the world of One Piece to live action is no small feat considering how inherently ridiculous Eiichiro Oda's original manga can be. Monkey D. Luffy, the series' protagonist and wannabe King of the Pirates, for example, has the power to stretch and shape himself as needed thanks to the Devil Fruit he consumed as a child.
"Well, Buggy was the biggest challenge, I think, I'd ever had in shooting something," Jobst said. His main fear was that the clown pirate's many separated limbs would appear too bizarre when filmed for live-action. "We were all nervous about it in a sense because it's such a complicated thing to not look ridiculous. And again, because we were creating a grounded world, somehow you've got to believe, 'Well, of course, he can cut himself up into 1000 pieces.
"Then, when we stepped onto the set, and we shot with him on his day one, it's this enormous huge tent. It's just a vast set all made out of old canvas sails, and everything, stitched together. We must have had, I don't know, three, 400 extras in that, and it only just took up about half of the tent, it's huge. Jeff walked onto that stage, and he roared, and it was beautiful.
