Netflix’s One Piece Live-Action series will drop hot this Thursday, 31st August. One-piece fanatics are over and beyond the moon.

• They introduce Garp (Vice-Admiral of the Marines), who is actively searching for Luffy, accompanied by Koby and Helmeppo.

However, in the manga, Luffy’s reunion with Koby and encounter with Garp occurred much later, around chapter 431 or episode 313 of the anime.
