Top to bottom, Netflix’sOne Pieceensemble was perfectly picked, and I eagerly await their returns inOne Pieceseason 2.
Nevertheless, the series may eventually become a victim of its own success.
Avoiding this phenomenon will be impossible, but there is one saving grace.
They reunite, and an unspecified number of months then pass before the current point in the manga.
All the Straw Hats' achievements happening inside such a short expanse of time feels unfeasible.
For two reasons, this makes very little sense.

In reality, the main characters have barely spent a year in each other’s company.
The second wrinkle inOne Piece’s realism is Luffy’s rapid rise to fame.
All ofOne Piece’s most powerful pirates- Shanks, Big Mom, Kaido, the Warlords, etc.
Indeed, it could actually smooth over the aforementioned timeline issues from the manga.
One Piececould get away with having the Straw Hats age a little more visibly.
Veteran pirates like Silvers Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban would, alas, be very aged indeed.
Dragon’s full name is Monkey D. Dragon.
He’s the son of Garp and Luffy’s father.
It would certainly be a better alternative than asking actors in their 40s to play characters 20 years younger.
