Adaptations aren’t created equally. Some source material presents a taller task than others, and perhaps no story is more intimidating to adapt than One Piece. The long-running anime has produced over 1000 episodes across 20 seasons, which live-action needs to trim down substantially without leaving anything important behind.
So far, Seasons 1 and 2 have significantly abridged the anime, but kept the overall story intact. Season 3, however, may take a completely different approach.
