Netflix’s One Piece live-action has blown up the internet. Fans have been keenly discussing all the latest developments around this much-awaited and hyped project. Netflix and other streaming platforms have tried their hands on live-action projects but failed to achieve much success. The One Piece live-action trailer was quite impressive, and fans are hopeful that the project will meet their expectations. Read on as we bring you all the latest updates.
One Piece Live-action Episode Count and Manga Adaptation
There will be a total of eight episodes in the series. These episodes will be an hour long and cover the first saga of the anime, titled East Blue Saga. Over 100 chapters (11 volumes) of the manga will be adapted into live-action.
- Romance Dawn Arc (Chapters 1–7)
- Orange Town Arc (Chapters 8–21)
- Syrup Village Arc (Chapters 22-41)
- Baratie Arc (Chapters 42–68)
- Arlong Park Arc Chapter 69–95)
- Loguetown Arc (Chapters 96–100)
The series will cover just 5% of the manga, but we are sure that the plotline and execution of characters will live up to the hype and expectations. Director Emma Sullivan revealed that Oda (the writer of the original manga) was on the sets throughout the filming and offered extensive guidance.
It’s big because you really want to make the fans happy because it means so.Obviously, the lucky thing for us is that we had [Eiichiro] Oda-san on site. We always have him to check with, and if he’s not happy, we’ll do it again.

One Piece Live-action Release Date and Watch Online
One Piece Live-action will be released on August 31, 2023, at 12:00 AM PT only on Netflix. You’ll be able to watch it online on Netflix only. Netflix has worked a lot on this ambitious project, and it is very unlikely that the series will be passed to any other platform like Crunchyroll.
