Belousova and Ostinelli commented:
“Wealth Power of Fame!” – Gold Roger, the legendary fearsome Pirate King, has got this and everything else the world has to offer. His dying words sent countless souls out to sea in search of his buried treasure. There are many similarities between Gold Roger and the captain of the Straw Hats, Monkey D Luffy, their personalities and personality traits perfectly match, so does their musical theme. The theme of Monkey D Luffy is the main theme of our show. Gold Roger’s theme is Luffy’s theme reversed. “Wealth Fame Power” opens with the theme of Roger. It is powerful, like Roger himself, driving and dynamic. It’s a dark, powerful anthem featuring the iconic hurdy-gurdy “Jolly Roger musical”. As soon as the swords are drawn and the crowd rushes to find ONE PIECE, we reverse the theme of Roger and introduce the theme of Luffy, the main theme of our show. Roger’s theme is all about downward motion because this is the end of Roger’s journey. However, Luffy’s theme is all about upward movement because that’s the beginning of his exciting adventure to become the Pirate King.”
Original author Oda, who is also an executive producer, stated in Maybe that the series won’t come out until he’s “satisfied”. He added that “all related entities are working in sync.” The series will have eight episodes, instead of 10 as originally reported.
