The upcoming live action One Piece series on Netflix just released jaw-dropping new photos of Going Merry and Red Force.
Two new photos from @OP_Netflix_Fan already have 1,721 Retweets, 649 Quote Tweets and 12.3K Likes as of posting this article. The photos showed the best images yet for Red Force and the Going Merry. In another tweet, the same user shared the Windmill Village. The two set pieces and the village are for the upcoming live action series One Piece on Netflix.
We wonder if the ships are actually working vessels or frigates if you will. But the fact that the two pieces are docked is truly amazing.
It truly helps that a project already has visual references from its source material. The challenge then is to realize the appeal and satisfy the existing fanbase. With the activity the two posts have in just a short span of time, it certainly gets the fans talking.

Eiichiro Oda created the Japanese manga series seriealized in Shueisha’s shonen manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997. It is about a boy, Monkey D. Luffy, whose body bears the properties of rubber after eating a Devil Fruit. Eating such a fruit once grants powers but a second helping can take one’s life. His adventures begin as he embarks on a personal journey to find the treasure known as “One Piece”. Because, acquiring such treasure, he will ultimately become the King of Pirates.
Luffy’s ship is the Going Merry. His childhood idol is the powerful pirate “Red Haired” Shanks, who in turn is the captain of the Red Force. A good part of the season will cover Luffy’s time in enlisting his crew, The Straw Hat Pirates. We wonder if the season will also feature the part when Going Merry got damaged beyond repair and the Straw Hat Pirates had a new ship called the Thousand Sunny.
Cast of characters as posted in Variety are
- Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D Luffy
- Peter Gadiot as Shanks
- Mackenyu as Rorona Zoro
- Taz Skylar as Sanji
- Emily Rudd as Nami
- Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp
- Morgan Davies as Koby
- Ilia Isorelýs Paulino as Alvida
- Aidan Scott as Helmeppo
- Jeff Ward as Buggy
- McKinley Belcher III as Arlong
- Vincent Regan as Garp.

Having such impressive set pieces for the season greatly imply that creators mean to maximize its use. Are they actually preparing for succeeding seasons? Quite reasonably, these set pieces can also have spaces inside that can accommodate scene shots. Any possibility of have these pieces as a site for future tours is also welcome. We are sure a lot of fans would like to see it first hand in between seasons.
The possibility of re-creating favorite scenes in live action would be just pure awesomeness!
