The legendary pirate saga, which has millions of fans around the world, continues to expand its boundaries with the One Piece LEGO animation project, following the success of Netflix’s live action series. This special production, which will combine the iconic looks of the beloved characters with characteristic yellow figures, will discuss the early adventures of the series, from East Blue to the Grand Line, from a completely different perspective.
This visual feast, which will consist of two parts, aims to both create nostalgia for old fans and offer an entertaining introduction to viewers who are new to the series. An Epic Journey as Narrated by Usopp The animated special episode, which will premiere on September 29, reconstructs the unforgettable events of the first two seasons of the live-action series in “brick” form. The story will be told through the mouth of Usopp, the most colorful and “unreliable” narrator of the Straw Hat pirates.
Usopp will tell the group’s newest and cutest member, reindeer-human hybrid Tony Tony Chopper, about the crew’s fight against the Arlong pirates in the East Blue and their dangerous encounters with the Baroque Works assassins. These stories, which Chopper will listen to with admiring eyes, combined with the humorous language of the LEGO universe, will make the audience laugh. You can also watch the video on Youtube.
