Fan Expectations from One Piece Live Action Series

                  There has been an uproar in social media since the announcement of One Piece's Hollywood Live action series adaptation. Some fans hate this news and some are loving it. Well it is a matter of concern if we look at live action adaptations or some previous animated series because they sucked so much but Oda has only agreed for series to be made only on condition that is not to deceive the fans of One Piece who have been with it since past 20 years and yes this series will be different from those other adaptations. Lets talk about what are expectations from this One Piece Live action series.

Adaptation should be close enough to Anime/manga

The series should be adapted it in such a way that it really looks like we are watching One Piece and that will be done by implementing exceptional quality of animation and graphics in the series. Sources say that this series might become the most expensive Live action series of the world.

              If it had been any other manga or anime like DBZ or Naruto, it had been difficult but since power levels and powers of One Piece verse can easily be shown in live adaptation they might pull it out with some effort.

No White Washing

I would really really hate the series of all the cast of One Piece is of same origin, country or industry. We do want variations in cast to see different people in the world , their life style and thus we would need a huge domain of cast so that it will really give us a feel that we are watching a series about world and not a country or continent.

A Grand domain of Star Cast 

As discussed in previous point, the star cast for this series will be huge, according to online sources (since I couldn't count myself) there are over 1000 named characters in One Piece, so if we want a Live action series close enough to manga a grand level of star cast which again draws the conclusion that if made, then this series will be most expensive one in the world.

Good Pace of the story

One of the very few drawbacks of the One Piece  manga/anime is that pace of the story is very slow. Yes since Oda never compromises with quality and very small details on each and everything the story pace automatically is slow. I would hate it if story is too fast such that we get a bad series but I would also hate it if its story is as slow as hell. As a fan I expect a good pace in the story.

Originality 

The most important thing I expect from the series is originality of One Piece, the story should be giving us goosebumps like anime/manga and it also should be able to make anyone fall for the story, bend one's emotions and make him feel awesome. As Oda stated that he would not deceive his fans who have been with him since past 20 years. I hope it turns out to be an Amazing series.

Shanks is a only a Swordsman - One Piece

     Red hair shanks is perhaps the most hyped character in One Piece,some of his fans even consider him the strongest man of the One Piece Universe. Well, we are not discussing whether or not he is strongest or not but the thing is that it is still not known that what is combat style of Shanks so title suggests I do believe that Shanks is a Swordsman and I can prove it how.

                 Some of fans may not agree but deal with it, For now Shanks is a swordsman. No Overall ability shit and no devil fruit powers or anything else, as far as haki goes lets pin it for now. Without wasting time let us see hints and proves in story

Links and Hints

  We at first did not knew that potential of shanks although knowing that he was pirate, the very first time we got to know that Shanks is one of the top guys when Hawk Eye Mihawk visited him to show him Luffy's wanted poster. There we get to know that they do sparring when shanks asked mihawk that if he had came to fight him. Now Mihawk is a swordsman and Shanks wouldn't spar with Mihawk in a sumo match.

   When Shanks boarded Moby Dick to meet Whitebeard, Whitebeard mentioned a legendary duel of Shanks and Mihawk that he said we watched with his own eyes and came to acknowledge Shanks. Now again it must definitely be a sword fight.

Actual Incidents

In One Piece, Shanks was actually involved in combat two times, One was with Whitebeard on Moby Dick and Second was at Marineford and both times he had drawn and used his sword. It is like instinct of a fighter. Shanks also drew his sword from his sheath when he made himself clear that if anyone wanted to continue violence in marineford then he would gladly become their opponent. If you still do not believe that Shanks is a swordsman then I would like you to read next point.

Shanks's Jolly Roger

 All pirates have jolly roger and jolly roger of each pirate represents him, there is no case of pirate and jolly roger having different themes in One Piece.  Ace's jolly roger had spade , Luffy's jolly roger has his straw hat, Whitebeard's jolly roger had his "hige" or facial hair or simply said then mustache. Similarly Shanks Jolly Roger has two swords. That too because he had this jolly roger when he used to fight with swords in both of his arms. If Shanks is anything else than a swordsman then he wouldn't have this Jolly Roger.

Fan Speculations and Conclusion

Shanks's fans actually believe that Shanks opposite to mihawk (who is only skilled with swords) , is powerful in overall combat ability. I would like to ask them what is overall fighting ability ? Can't Shanks be a yonkou by being a swordsman? You mean fighting with World's Strongest Swordsman is just a swordsmanship hobby of Shanks? Is the title of Worlds strongest swordsman nothing just because he is a Shichibukai? No, just like pirate king and World's strongest swordsman is also a unique title to be feared. It may totally depend on history of Shanks and Mihawk that why Mihawk was given the title but it can be assumed that Whether or not Shanks is strongest in One Piece ,but he is definitely the 2nd strongest swordsman or was even Strongest swordsman with both of his hands. (His lost limb did affected him and Oda never said that there was no effect of losing an arm on him that is myth by a youtuber theorist that went crazy)

With this I finish my theory. What do you guys Think . Tell us in comments.
