The long-awaited One Piece live-action series will air on Netflix this August 31st. If initial reviews are anything to go by, the series promises to be a treasure trove for fans.
A recent clip released by the YouTube channel sheds light on Sanji, played by Tayz Skyler, and his intriguing relationship with restaurant owner Zeff. The clip captures Sanji in the bustling kitchen of the Baratie, a floating restaurant ship, as he creates a new dish – much to Master Zeff’s disapproval.
For those unfamiliar with the lore, Zef plays a father role in Sanji’s life. Zef not only rescued Sanji when he was stranded on a deserted island, but also shared his rations with Sanji.

The clip received loud applause in the comments section, where fans are praising the attention to detail. One such nuance is when Sanji prepares a new dish. Zeff asks him to focus on serving customers.
However, Zef, unwilling to waste food, carefully set the dish aside. Both Zeff and Sanji understand the value of the dish, so this dish will later be used as a meal for the kitchen staff.

One Piece Live-Action’s staggering $138 million budget, confirmed
The budget for the One Piece live-action adaptation has been the subject of much speculation. Now, the official German Netflix website, Netflixwoche, has confirmed that the total budget is at a staggering $138 million.
With a plan of only eight episodes for Season 1, this puts the per-episode budget at around $17 million, making it one of the most funded TV series to date.
To put it in perspective, this budget puts One Piece on the list of the highest-budget films ever made, surpassing both Disney’s “The Mandalorian” and the final season of “Game of Thrones.”
It’s clear that Netflix is going all out on this series. Their YouTube channel, with 26 million subscribers, now has a One Piece banner and even updated the channel description to add “Pirates is coming”.
