One Piece live action adaptation and One Piece manga: Are there any differences between both versions? Here’s everything you may want to know

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

While Netflix's One Piece live-action series endeavors to capture the essence of Oda's original work, it inevitably takes artistic liberties. These liberties include modifications and omissions of certain events and characters, which are essential to maintaining the series' appeal while adapting it to a new medium. Let's delve into the key differences between the live-action adaptation and the manga:

The Barrel Scene: A Shifting Timeline

• In the manga, the iconic barrel scene unfolds after the Straw Hats leave Rogue Town, just before embarking on their journey into the Grand Line.
  
• In the live-action adaptation, a notable alteration occurs as this memorable moment takes place at the conclusion of the Arlong Park Arc. This shift adds a unique perspective to the narrative.
  

Garp’s Role: A Grandfather's Journey

• In the manga, Monkey D. Garp, the powerful Marine known for his battles with the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, is introduced after the Enies Lobby Arc.
  
• In the live-action series, Garp assumes a central role right from the beginning. He oversees Gol D. Roger's execution and, intriguingly, embarks on a pursuit of his grandson, Luffy. The dynamic between Garp and Luffy evolves swiftly in this adaptation.
  

Aesthetics: Balancing Realism and Fantasy

• The live-action series leans towards a more natural approach, minimizing the use of extensive computer-generated imagery (CGI).
  
• While this approach enhances the series' realism, it also necessitates toning down certain iconic physical features of characters. Most notably, Usopp's elongated nose and Sanji's curled eyebrow are less pronounced compared to their manga counterparts. Additionally, even the formidable Arlong receives a distinct visual interpretation.
