One Piece Mini-Teaser: Guess Who Wants to Be "King of the Pirates"?

Here's the "One Month" teaser released for Tomorrow Studios & Shueisha's live-action Netflix series adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece.

Did you know that there's only a month to go until Tomorrow Studios (Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, TNT's Snowpiercer) & publisher Shueisha's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece hits Netflix? Well, now you do – but as much as we would like to take credit for keeping your screening schedule up-to-date, that honor goes to the streaming service. While we would much rather be hearing from the cast & writers about the series, SAG-AFTRA & WGA were forced to go on strike until the AMPTP negotiates fair new deals. Instead, we have a "One Month" mini teaser that makes it pretty clear who it is who plans on being "King of the Pirates"…

Here's a look at the newest mini teaser that was released earlier today, letting fans know that the streaming series will be setting sail in one month – followed by a look back at what we know about Netflix's One Piece so far:

In the following beautiful-looking two-piece letter to the fans, Oda makes it clear right in the opening that "no compromises" were made in bringing the series to life. From there, the franchise creator reveals just how much creative say he had on the production, how the folks working on the series are "'One Piece' superfans," and how he's looking forward to hearing from the fans:

Here's a look at the official trailer for Netflix's One Piece, with the streaming series adaptation setting sail on August 31st – and following that, we have a look back at the previously-released teaser trailer and additional information on the streaming series adaptation:
