One Piecelive-action fans have been waiting for quite a while to get a new update regarding the release of the second season. The series lived up to the name of Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus with season one becoming the first-ever successful live-action adaptation of an anime or manga series.
The main essence that helpedOne Piecelive-action gain success was the ability to replicate the scenes from theOne Pieceanime and manga series that would have been pretty difficult to recreate in the real world. Be it the Mihawk vs Zoro fight or the Luffy vs Arlong battle,One Piecefans were happy that the series did justice to these iconic scenes.
Recently, the cast ofOne Piecelive-action attended the Weebcon 2024 where they were asked a bunch of questions about the future of Netflix’sOne Piece. While answering one of the questions, Jacob Romero, the actor who portrays Usopp talked about one of the saddest scenes inOne Piecehistory.

Romero stated:
“You know me and a friend of mine get into a little fight that would be pretty heart-wrenching to have to play out….but it would be beautiful.”
According to Romero the fight would be pretty heart-wrenching to have to play out but looking at the importance of the fight in the series, it will be a nice moment that he will share withIñaki Godoywho plays Luffy in the series. On the other hand,Emily Ruddwho plays Nami explained that she would love to get the Clima-Tact, which is a weapon of Nami in the future.
Luffy vs Usopp is One of the Saddest Fights inOne PieceHistory
Luffy faced Usopp during the Water 7 arc, when the Straw Hat crew chose toreplace their ship, Going Merry, due to its condition. It was impossible to repair or keep sailing the ship after their Grand Line exploits had completely wrecked it. Although Luffy wanted to do everything in his power to save it, he understood that it was nearing the end of its days.
When Luffy informed Usopp of their decision, he became enraged, and the events culminated in a battle between the Straw Hats captain and their sniper. Luffy faced considerable difficulty in his battle with Usopp but ultimately emerged victorious. Although the outcome of the battle was already expected, it still was one of the saddest battles in history.

Nevertheless, Luffy likely found this battle difficult since, in addition to Usopp being a formidable opponent, he was facing off against one of his closest friends. However, it only strengthened their bond which has been witnessed byOne Piecefans after the Water 7 arc.
You can watch the first season ofOne Piecelive-action on Netflix.
