Everything you need to know before 'One Piece' premieres on Netflix on August 31.
The Big Picture The live-action adaptation of hit manga One Piece is coming to Netflix at the end of this month and considering it's been over 25 years since the manga first debuted, it can feel incredibly intimidating jumping into the expansive world made by Eiichiro Oda. There are over 1000 manga chapters, 1000 anime episodes, and even over a dozen films.
Nami is the navigator of the Straw Hats, helping them traverse the dangerous and mysterious seas of the world. Nami loves money more than almost anything else, even going so far as to steal from Luffy. However, Nami's love for money is connected to a more altruistic dream, as her village is under the control of a dangerous pirate named Arlong . Arlong forced Nami to chart maps for him, and she planned to one day buy her village's freedom.
How Much of the Manga Will Be Adapted? There are currently over 1,000 manga chapters and anime episodes of One Piece, but don't let that intimidate you. The first season of Netflix's One Piece will focus only on the first saga of the series: the East Blue Saga. This part of the series contains 6 short story arcs, adding up to the first 100 chapters of the manga and the first 61 episodes of the anime.
Having acquired a new ship, the crew goes to the floating restaurant, the Baratie, in their next arc. Working alongside Sanji, one of the cooks in the restaurant, they help protect the ship from being overtaken by a rival pirate. While there, they also meet Dracule Mihawk , the Strongest Swordsman in the World, who is Zoro's ultimate obstacle to achieving his dream.
