There has been much speculation regarding the release date of Netflix's One Piece Live Action adaptation, particularly considering the series has been in the works since 2017 and has gone through a series of production challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Not only that, but since then, anime adaptations done by Netflix haven't been well-received, namely Death Note and Cowboy Beepop. It seems Live-Action anime adaptations were something that couldn't be done tastefully and faithfully to appease both new fans and veteran fans of these beloved franchises.
