Netflix’s Live-Action One Piece Show Reused Ships from Starz Pirate Drama Black Sails

One Piece reused pirate ships first constructed for Starz’s Black Sails, the live-action adaptation’s cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker recently revealed.Hirsch Whitaker confirmed that the Netflix reimagining of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga overhauled boats originally belonging to Black Sails in an interview with YouTube channel Tekking 101. “The unusual thing about this [production] was these were ships that had been built for another show — that was a very different show — called Black Sails,” she explained. “And the production designer repurposed these ships and basically one of the reasons we went to South Africa [to film] was because of that.” Hirsch Whitaker also confirmed that none of One Piece’s seafaring scenes were shot in the ocean, and were instead filmed in three large, studio-based tanks.While Hirsch Whitaker freely admits to recycling another production’s pirate ships for One Piece, that shouldn’t give fans the impression that none of the show’s sets were bespoke. On the contrary, production designer Richard Bridgland made it clear in a recent interview that many of One Piece’s locations were created from scratch, including protagonist Monkey D. Luffy’s (Iñaki Godoy) hometown, Windmill Village. Bridgland described the live-action Windmill Village’s design in some detail, noting that the coastal town of the manga was relocated to the sea itself to help establish how Luffy’s dreams of becoming a pirate came about.Related: Netflix’s One Piece Reflects the Anime’s Themes of Freedom and Dreams
