It's been a while since Netflix's One Piece live-action was announced, and we already know quite a bit about the show, including the cast, setting, and more. However, One Piece manga author Eiichiro Oda has unexpectedly sent a new message to his fans, and it's everything we've ever wanted. We're in the final stages of getting our hands on the Netflix series. So keep reading to learn what information Oda sensei shared in his latest message to fans.

Oda has updated his official announcement on the Netflix One Piece live-action via his Twitter account. He has discussed the difficulties and problems he and the crew have gone through to present the best possible experience to the fans. Also, Oda said that now is the perfect time to present his creation One Piece to the world before his life ends (jokingly). He always wanted to do this. Therefore, he has overseen everything to ensure that One Piece is delivered in the best possible way. It should be recalled that he first agreed to live-action in 2016; afterwards when pre-production work began.

The crucial part of this announcement is when Oda mentions that Netflix confirmed to him that they will launch the Netflix One Piece live-action this year, 2023, as previously indicated. Also, they have promised Oda sensei that they will not air the show until he is completely satisfied with the results (as it seems that Oda was not satisfied with the westernization in some cases). We hope that their years of effort will pay off soon and that the show will be on air shortly.

Last but not least, Oda reveals that the show is currently in the final stages of production and that there will be "8" episodes in the One Piece live-action series on Netflix. The series is expected to start airing shortly. You can read the full message below. We are in this together. Thank you Eiichiro Oda, for your trust. We can't wait for the world to see what we've created. pic.twitter.com/ZhIhBDRwtW— ONE PIECE(ワンピース) Netflix (@onepiecenetflix) May 4, 2023
