Earlier this week, Netflix announced the cast for the upcoming live-action adaptation of One Piece. Inaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero, and Taz Skylar will be playing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji respectively, in Netflix's adaptation based on the shonen manga series by Eiichiro Oda. Now, one star has shared a message to fans about his role as Monkey D. Luffy.
Over on Instagram, Inaki shared a photo of himself with One Piece-related items, showing his dedication to portray one of the most iconic anime characters. In the story, Luffy aims to become the King of Pirates, and he uses the power of the Gum Gum Fruit that allows him to stretch his limbs, while also giving him a huge boost in power.
"I've been doing my research on one piece and I know how much this means to all of you. I wanna let you know I will do my best and I appreciate all the kindness you've showed me. THANK YOU FOR THE TRUST."
