The live-action adaptation of One Piece has officially begun production, more than two years after Netflix confirmed the series' existence.
A tweet from Netflix Geeked (below) confirmed the start of production and showed images of the cast on set.
One Piece began in 1997 and has logged over 1,000 chapters of manga and 1,000 episodes of the anime, but the Netflix series is only pegged for ten episodes so far.
The tweet shows Emily Rudd (who'll play Nami) sporting a One Piece t-shirt plus a photo of Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp), Iñaki Godoy (Monkey D. Luffy), and Taz Skylar (Sanji).
Netflix Geeked also posted pictures of the set chairs for executive producers Matt Owens and Steve Maeda, alongside one for "Nami". The cast was revealed in November last year and also includes Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro.
The creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, is also an executive producer on the Netflix show and its first episode is named after the original anime arc: Romance Dawn. It's also the name of the original one-off manga that One Piece was based on.
Netflix is yet to reveal a release window for its One Piece adaptation.
