History Series / OnePiece2023

** The narrator, played by Creator/IanMcShane, has previously played [[Characters/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanQueenAnnesRevenge Blackbeard]] in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides''.

** Nami earlier on the manga couldn't defeat more than two or three {{Mooks}} with her MartialArtsStaff, and usually would wind up a DamselInDistress in need of saving/protection from her stronger crewmates if there were numerous enemies around her [[spoiler: until the introduction of her signature weapon, the [[WeatherManipulation Clima-Tact]]]]. In this series however, Nami makes Donatello proud being able to fight and take down a dozen marines alongside Luffy and Zoro with her ordinary bo-staff in the first episode. She also joins the boys in the raid on Arlong Park, rather than crying in the village during all the asskicking and only reappearing after most of the Arlong Pirates are defeated, like in the manga.

* AdaptationalExplanation: The "map of the Grand Line" is sometimes considered EarlyInstallmentWeirdness due to it later being established that Buggy was already very familiar with the region and the idea of there being a useful complete map of the Grand Line is laughable. This work implies that its true value is it having the topography of ''Reverse Mountain'', the very small and treacherous route around the Calm Belts.

** Due to being a PragmaticAdaptation, the non-Devil Fruit using characters with CharlesAtlasSuperpower are (with the big exceptions of Mihawk, Garp and Kuro) more realistically grounded. For example, in the manga/anime Zoro and Sanji were capable of great feats of SuperStrength despite being rookies in East Blue - in the live action series however they are "merely" very strong by human standards and don't display anything too crazy beyond some wall running, torso bisecting and Sanji sending Kuroobi flying with Mouton Shot, and even then he doesn't literally kick the fishman ''through'' Arlong Park like in the manga/anime.

* WhamLine: A major example for those watching the show without familiarity with the manga (and a minor one for those who are as well, given that TheReveal happens much earlier here than in the source material) occurs at the climax of Episode 4, as Luffy looks through the telescope to see [[spoiler:Garp standing on the deck of the Marine ship]]:

* WhamShot: In episode 5, Garp claims to need no backup in taking care of the Strawhats, calmly telling Coby "We'll handle this ourselves''. He then goes to the snail phone, [[spoiler: and calls the dreaded pirate Mihawk, who introduced with the usual dramatic [[BossSubtitles Wanted poster]]...but his portrait shows BOUNTY CANCELLED, revealing to the viewer things between Marines and Pirates are not quite as clear cut as they seem.]]

** In the manga and anime, Nami had a couple of {{EarlyBirdCameo|s}} but didn't actually meet Luffy and Zoro until the Orange Town arc. In the show, she joins up with them in the first episode which is based on the Romance Dawn arc. This is due to the Marines being in possession of the Grand Line map instead of Buggy.

** Nami made her debut appearance in the Orange Town arc while in the show, she appears in the first episode which is based on the Romance Dawn arc which she did not appear in till afterwards. This is due to the Marines being in possession of the Grand Line map instead of Buggy.
