Alongside the many projects related to One Piece that are currently circulating, there will be a new series. As a hardcore fan, the announcement surprised MeinMMO editor Jasmin, but ultimately fortunately in a positive way.
In the MeinMMO editorial team, I am probably the biggest fan of One Piece. After all, I even have on the team page in my profile that I secretly dream of becoming a Straw Hat pirate. Accordingly, I read and watch nearly everything that appears related to the pirate adventure.
I was all the more excited when yesterday three new announcements about One Piece were made at hourly intervals. On the one hand, the release year for the 3rd season of the live-action adaptation was announced. On the other hand, there were new character images of the Straw Hats from the remake The One Piece.
As the last announcement, there was a new special about Lego and One Piece. Last year, several sets of LEGO depicting famous locations, such as the Baratié restaurant from the live-action adaptation, were released.
The trailer began with a camera sweep over the sea and through a shipping path. But even then, I started to sweat because as a hardcore fan I feared that I would not watch the special if it did a certain thing.
One Piece tells the same story again
Currently, fans have many opportunities to experience the story of One Piece completely from the beginning, and even more is coming:
- It is possible to read the original story by Eiichiro Oda as a manga.
- For those who prefer moving images, they can additionally watch the original anime.
- Just recently, the German dubbing of One Piece was restarted from the beginning. Here, there are different names for the main characters and other minor changes.
- The live-action adaptation of One Piece retells the story of Luffy and his friends from the start, only with real actors.
- The remake of The One Piece aims to tell the adventures of the pirates completely from the start as well.
And unfortunately, my fear was confirmed, as the Lego series is also supposed to retell the adventures of the Straw Hat pirates from the beginning. Normally, I would have said that I would not watch another series that retells the same pirate stories, as much as I love them.
But there are two details that save the special for me so that I will still watch it.
First of all, I am glad that the adventures are told from Lysop’s perspective. The Straw Hat pirate is known in One Piece, especially at the beginning, as a liar and that he embellishes his actions more than necessary. Along with the Lego style, I can imagine that there will be funny situations here.
Secondly, this is only a two-part special and not a full-blown series. The experiences will only be told up to the encounter with Chopper, so until Drum Island.
If there had been a full series, it would have been such a huge time commitment for me. But this way, one can indulge in the little special. The two-part special is set to premiere on Netflix exclusively on September 29, 2026.
What do you think of the Lego series? Will you watch it or are you not interested? Feel free to write it in the comments! Did you know that Lysop would originate from Africa in the real world and that Oda regretted his decision for a long time? The creator of One Piece made three Straw Hats Europeans and regretted his decision for 16 years
