With the creator's involvement already well publicized, director Marc Jobst explains why Eiichiro Oda's involvement in the live-action One Piece show was so important. Oda is the mind behind the fantasy adventure manga that launched in 1997, chronicling the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his friends, the Straw Hat Pirates, as he sets out to find the eponymous treasure and become King of the Pirates. The manga has already ran over an impressive 1000 chapters, with the anime adaptation that launched in 1999 also right behind its source material with 1,073 episodes at the time of writing.
