Iñaki Godoy, the actor who plays Monkey D. Luffy in Netflix's One Piece, single-handedly eased Eiichiro Oda's biggest concerns about the live-action adaptation. One Piece tells Luffy's story as he and his gang of pirates attempt to find a treasure that could turn Luffy into the King of the Pirates. Oda created the One Piece manga in 1997, and the book has been ongoing ever since. Two years later, it was adapted into an anime with over 1,000 episodes and counting. The manga is soon to be adapted into a live-action version, which is to be released on August 31.
