Nami has always had such a strong connection with the other women we meet throughout the story, and I love how they’ve incorporated that here with Kaya.

[@siddhantchauhan1975]

Agreed also I think she tells kaya to let not kuro control her life, which tie’s really well with her backstory

[@pinkcloud9192]

yeah...all the girl's bestie....Nami really cares for women & childrens

[@cartoonishidealism582]

Nami 🤝 Sanji Liking women a lot more than men

[@agenttheater5]

Now I kinda wanna see Nami, Kaya, Nojiko, Robin, and Vivi having a slumber party in Kaya's room - with Chopper as well. I see part of the evening locating where Sanji is hiding in the walls trying to get a peak and doing something that will leave ar ringing sound in his ear.

Man, the fact Usopp calls Luffy his other-other best friend really goes to show just how lonely and alone he is. It's pretty sad if you think about it - he literally latched onto Luffy so hard just because he paid attention to him. Oh lord, I'm gonna tear up if I keep thinking down those lines. Also, I really like Sham and Buchi in this. Their characters have great chemistry. Sham, especially, I never liked in the anime but in this? Love her. Sassy bitch that she is. Also, the whole Nami/Kaya dynamic is so good. Nami just collecting a group of girl friends since she never had the chance to have that experience as a kid is so wholesome. And Kaya is a queen. Ugh, Syrup village in the anime is great but has a lot of ehhh to it, but I love the live action version. It's very different but a lot of fun.

[@AshXXMayftw]

This is something I love about this adaption: seeing Koby and Helmeppo together throughout this whole first season. We didn't really get much of them prior to their glow ups later on in the manga. So, seeing them gradually warm up to each other, as well as Garp becoming more of a mentor towards Koby, is a very welcome edition.

They really killed off the only person Kaya had left who could watch over her. Merry wasn’t even a butler in this, he was her lawyer. She’s beyond alone now 😭

While that’s true it also gives strength to Kaya that now she’s strong and independent now to look after herself

I feel like the inclusion of the golden-goose spoiler (Garp) is for intrigue for the series & as a fail-safe in case this doesn't end up taking off from here - just like how the Scott Pilgrim movie maybe could have been two movies, but went with one in the end (and it didn't do well in theaters at all)

The Garp/Koby storyline was something that the showrunner added. Oda was against it at first but they managed to convince him otherwise.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Guys guys guys... Pell better count his days. Oda is coming for his ass. Live Action has been more than willing to kill people off, and we all know Pell is the most egregious 'walking dead' offender. He had better hope there's no second season because that boy is gonna be bits and pieces all over Alabasta. RIP Pell.

[@matthewreynolds8618]

any chance they're trying up the importance with the luffy/coby and roger/garp parallel with this adaptation? the direct interactions are happening more and the tension seems to be building.

Ngl, this live action adaptation has really got me back in the mood to watch one piece. I stopped watching not long after the timeskip, and just never really felt any inclination to return. I think i might've just start from the beginning again and see if i can get further this time...

Honestly? I've tried to get into One Piece a handful of times and my ADHD just couldnt do it, but for some reason the live action is really clicking for me. I think its the casting all the actors are so charming I cant help but connect with every character so quickly. The pacing helps with my adhd too. Makes me want to try the anime again 👍🏻

[@DemonicafroJB]

Kong is the Commander in Chief of the Marines & Cipher Pol. He shows up for a single scene in post-Marineford

[@daverboy]

With long running weekly manga like this, some things are planned out well in advance, and some things are just slotted into place afterwards. Spoilers ahead for those who haven't finished this ep or read the mange: . . . . I don't know offhand whether Oda knew all along that Garp was going to be Luffy's grandpa, but for reference, at this point in the manga Garp hadn't even shown up yet. Once he *did* show up, it was like 7 irl years of manga before the reveal. One of the biggest advantages that this show has, is that they have access to all 25-26 years of story right off the bat, and can choose to foreshadow and pace things accordingly.

[@Sigart]

I think they include the fact taht Kuro caused his own problems himself really well without shoving it in our face; the things he hates most about assisting Kaya; her isolation and helplessness are thing he caused with her illness. A crew that he cannot trust? Well, it's pretty obvious that he controls his crew members with fear. By being the strongest and most ruthless. That means that to become captian, you'd just have to be _stronger_ and _more ruthless._ And you'd prove that? By killing Kuro. Either that or they just were so afraid and tired of his abuse that they lashed out. Point is, Luffy would never have these issues in the first place.

[@Slyrocker.]

I've honestly been really enjoying the series! I think one of my favorite moments of the episode was the instrumental of We Are playing right after they get the Going Merry, sailing for the first time. I'm hoping this does well enough to get a second season. I would love to see the Alabasta arc adapted

[@igoonx15]

Yeah, i think this show was great and better than I expected so i truly hope for a second season because once they get to the grandline, the story gets better and the world get bigger. This show did its best as a prologue but man seeing alabasta would be a treat. I mean with that cliffhanger at the end of the last episode made me scream and it would be a crime if they didn’t do a second season 😂

I heard that this was supposed to be a 10 episodes show, but they had to cut it to 8 episodes so i think there are stuff being cut and others feels fast paced so if that’s true i think i can forgive them when it comes to pacing and cutting stuff. But it’s still a good adaptation imo despite the interesting cuts and changes.

Besides getting lost from the well (in the mansion's literal back yard) to the mansion, ending up by Luffy who was escorted from the front of the mansion far along the path by then; Zoro also got lost in the mansion… he and Luffy split up at the very front of the mansion, we then see Zoro wandering around for a while just to end up, literally right back where he started at the front entrance to the mansion, where he ended up fighting the meowban (brothers) {siblings?}…

[@conankun88]

It is kinda funny the more you think about if someone watches the Anime and is not at the moment were Luffy meets Garp in the Anime then he gets completely spoiled by the Live Action :D But its not a bad spoiler as it does not ruin the story at all. It just takes the surprise to another point in the story. The surprise in the Anime is then gone but the surprise itself was not ruined.

[@Reycied]

5:31 As somebody who practiced Kendo for a few years, and who has three other practitioners in the family...while they're wearing the bogu, they're not actually practicing Kendo. It's not a fighting system, or even really a martial art. It's a sport, more like modern fencing. Landing points on your opponent mostly involves striking with the proper part of the blade, kiai timing and accuracy, and footwork / technique. If any of those steps are wrong, you won't score a point. For example, if your strike didn't have the proper fumikomi (foot stomp), or you stomped too soon or too late, even if you landed the blow you'd receive zero points. Your kiai (shout) also needs to call your target area. For example, if you go to strike the opponent's wrist guard (kote), but your opponent moves and the strike hits their head (men), you won't score.

Kong was the Commander in Chief of the World Government, he was Sengoku's predecessor as Fleet Admiral around Roger's time so he's basically the next rung up, likely the bridge between Navy and WG. We only ever see Kong briefly, I think the most screentime he got was post-Marineford when Sengoku handed his resignation and recommended Aokiji.
