During the One Piece day celebration, creator Eiichiro Oda had a special message for WIT Studio staff working on the remake.

One Piece Day, which was celebrated from August 9 to August 11, 2024, has made some startling revelations about the upcoming goals and ambitions of the franchise as a whole. Within these goals, the one that fans have been waiting for the most is the One Piece anime remake by WIT Studios, which will follow Luffy's adventures during the East Blue Saga.

The remake of the anime series was announced last year, and the showrunners have released bits of information about the upcoming series. However, the details revealed during the One Piece remake panel at the One Piece Day celebration have greatly encouraged fans. Interestingly, along with the information, a message from One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda to fans was also made public.

According to the announcement, Oda has given WIT Studio complete creative freedom on how they would love to portray the story of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. The mangaka has refrained from getting too involved in the anime series by Toei Animation, and he will continue to do so with the remake as well.
