One Piece: Fans share their take on the latest addition to the series cast

The initial response from the One Piece fanbase is that they seem to be happy with the actors they have chosen. Most of the actors’ appearances match the characters they will be playing in the series, which is a good sign.

Some fans believe that the casting for Garp was good. People find Vincent Regan's appearance extremely close to the original character. Garp's signature gray beard and mustache have been matched by the actor chosen for Garp's role.

After looking at the casting for Buggy, fans noted that the actor in question is good-looking and would suit the role of the clown-like pirate as well. Fans expect a lot from Jeff Ward since he was also present in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Some One Piece fans were pleasantly surprised by their ability to find an actor that looked quite similar to Helmeppo. Given Helmeppo's character design, it can be a little difficult to find an actor with a similar appearance. However, the team has done a good job selecting a suitable actor.

One fan suggested an actor for the role of Dragon. While Netflix hasn't confirmed the actor for that character, this fan suggested an actor who looks very similar to Monkey D. Dragon. This fan believes that Luis Felipe Tovar would be a good fit for this character.

It will be interesting to see how Netflix adapts one of the most popular and successful Shonen Animanga series of all time. Many fans are anxiously waiting for the release of the upcoming series.
