Adelstein stated that he discussed the project with mangaka Eiichiro Oda personally, and also stated that the series promises to create “a true One Piece”.
Oda previously said that in the 20 years he has worked with One Piece, the talks of a live-action adaptation always came up.
In a video call, Adelstein stated that the live-action TV series will start with the East Blue arc and will “broaden from there.”
Now, after plenty of twists and turns, the mangaka has now found “a good partner” to make that live-action adaptation.
