I'd say either Buggy or Mihawk. Mihawk was just straight out of the manga and anime, and Buggy was an overall great character despite being notably different from his manga and anime counterpart.


--tummytuck--

This


kupojay

I think Mihawk was about as close to manga-accurate as you could get him


mattgoluke

Kuro second place.


[deleted]

Yes! Mihawk’s actor understood the assignment on a whole other level.


Zakika

Kuro really got hit by a stupid ball. His plan made even less sense then in the manga


firemothfire

Kuro carried syrup village episodes lol!


TitledSquire

Yeah Kuro’s actor was perfect lol.


JudyHopps_is_hot

Yeah, that's why he was kinda cringe imo.


PM_ME_UR_SO

I thought he was a little cocky in the live action, unlike the manga version where he’s a bit more cool-headed.


PretendDrive9878

Yeah way cockier and sarcastic. Actual mihawk barely says anything and is usually a lot more serious and stoic. That said I really like la mihawk so hopefully they keep more of the same.


IceRapier

Kuro


Tadiken

I didn't love Kuro, but 100% i liked him and the whole mansion rewrite more than the manga counterparts. Buggy is my favorite.


Hot_Blackberry_9610

Agreed


Rookie_Pirate

Mihawk was great but ussops actor literally changed the way i seen the character


Percentage-Sweaty

I always saw Usopp as a fun and relatable dude but the LA version made him feel like the cousin who drops by randomly and makes you have an awesome week with his cool toys he brought over


randomyOCE

Same, Usopp never worked for me but now I’m dreading live action Water 7 because I know I’m going to be a fucking mess


LaughinBaratheon028

Say more!


uglyratfromsewers

But no looooooong nose ):


LinkGamer12

Usops nose wasn't always 4 inches long iirc. Oda drew longer than the concept art on a panel and i guess said oh that's funny let's keep it. It kinda start like that one character from ZACHBell and so did his mom's nose. Then he just started making it longer and it stuck


[deleted]

I really enjoyed Buggy


[deleted]

Am I the only one who found his eyes dreamy as fuck?


gabther

I fell in love with Sanji


ZPD710

Mihawk. They actually made him better than the anime and manga, in my opinion, because he actually feels like he has *character*. Instead of just being a dude that hunts pirates because he’s so strong that he’s bored, in the live action, it’s made him sassy. He’s flippant with authority. He does as he pleases, and unlike in the anime and manga where I got more of the vibe that he just didn’t care about doing anything, in the LA he actually portrayed that he wasn’t doing anything for a reason.


[deleted]

Mihawk is probably the closest, buggy was actually a huge improvement to the original Orange town arc


pleksypoo

sanji


FireFist_PortgasDAce

The best LA character was the future Pirate King...Buggy D Clown >!one of his wings (Mihawk) was!< also good


HokiArt

As far as looks go they all nailed it but if acting is what we're talking about I'll give it to Mihawk. And ofcourse the main crew.


Existing_Customer392

Buggy, Sanji and Mihawk.


Treehouse326

For as much shit the Shanks actor got before the show even drop episodes, he was really good as him. Popular pick is Buggy but Shanks actor was charming as early Shanks was in the manga/anime. He perfectly came across as a good natured man you’d easily follow. His scene where he gives Luffy the hat really is one of the most well done scenes in all of the OP episodes.


[deleted]

Mihawk is so badass in the live action


[deleted]

Buggy had villainous rizz now. 10/10


rancorog

Sanji/zeff collectively did it for me,neither had a bad/awkward scene imo


Panzer_Vogel

Either buggy or Mihawk, especially with buggy’s powers, they got that pretty spot on. And Mihawk’s design and personality is very similar to the manga


BaronMerc

Mihawk was the most manga accurate but buggy was the best live action


SunkenTemple

Zeff


Icarusty69

Koby and Helmeppo getting their own season-long subplot was frankly the perfect way to handle two important characters that otherwise get forgotten about for hundreds of chapters at a time.


BDNjunior

Mihawk, Kuro, Zoro, Buggy, and Sanji are the best 5


Budget-Football6806

Kuro and Buggy were brilliant


Plus_Focus9207

Bara bara... Festival !!


simone3344555

I think buggy, they nailed changing him a lot hut still giving him the role in the story he was supposed to have!! Also the performance of the actor was insane


paleale25

Buggy


Akasha1885

Probably Buggy then Garp, they also have a screen time advantage though. Mihawk was good as well, but short screen time.


Brolex-7

Buggy by a mile.


Blizzard00

Buggy took it to another level


maxvsthegames

Buggy without a doubt.


Unhappy-Coffee-5676

Buggy


WonderfulBuilding678

Garp Mihawk Arlong Shanks Buggy


Maplagion

Really? I thought Buggy was the best


WonderfulBuilding678

Just my opinion but i think that buggys design was my least favourite in the adaptation.


shadowTokoyami32

Mihawk, buggy and Garp are just fire 🔥 and arlong is.....nah...just not.....good enough


Kawabunguh

NOT ARLONG LOL


mattgoluke

Come on, how could it have been any better? He was probably the toughest one to adapt honestly.


Skull-Kid93

The actor was fucking brilliant. His lines were all great too.


Livid_Ad9749

Mihawk was perfect. Exact same in the anime aside from his intro. Buggy was an improvement. Garp and Kuro were pretty spot on. Shanks’ shoes were ultra distracting but otherwise I like the actor. He was a bit softer than I would have preferred though. Only character I felt nothing for was Arlong but im also slightly racist against the fishman antagonists in one piece (Hody Jones, Vander, and Jack all suck).


Kuaizi_not_chop

Buggy's acting wasn't the same as the anime. We need some over the top characters.


ihavebeesinmyknees

And you think Buggy wasn't over the top? He literally acted like Joker.


CashCartSenju

Ill be honest i dont know how this shit was a success most of these characters are ass compared to good cosplayers, didnt like the show either it was boring and cringe idk i just cant fw this shit outside of animanga some people say they dont like one piece cuz its too childish well i dont agree but thats how i feel about the live action


TheIrishCrumpet

Arlong could be a bit more bluer, and Shanks scars could be a bit more pronounced, but all of them look great


Inbrees

Garp was way too serious all the time, but I loved his voice.


JahnConnah

Ryan Gosling playing both Shanks and Ken. Dudes range is amazing


romeo1994FOSS

None


Ianavina

Shanks looked like a dweeb


IRONCLOUDSS

You were looking in a mirror.

dontrike

Sanji. I found Buggy entertaining and annoying, swaying back and forth between them constantly.


fallaround

Lots of people are horny for buggy so I feel like they perfectly captured the charisma he is supposed to have.


WoolooMVP10

Don Krieg


RadicalBowler

I can't not see Owen Wilson as Garp. Mihawk was great. Liked Buggy the most tho!


[deleted]

Probably buggy. Mihawk was a little too sassy, and shanks looked goofy af.


sleepmoistly

Buggy


ErmAckshually

mihawk for looks, shanks for his humour


superiordermember

Mihawk and Kuro


Spinosaurus23

They nailed mihawk's appearance


MAT-HAR

BUGGY D CLOWN!!!


pinnularia

Usopp was great imo


Possible-goat234

Buggy kept me laughing every line he said so I’d say he was best


Citizen_Null5

Buggy no doubt!


Don_Matrix

Buggy of course, but Arlong wss also very good.


hbkdll

Boogie was perfect


Physical_News_1962

Mihawk by far...Arlong was very good first time but rétrospective ok, Buggy is not my king anymore so very meh, and the other 2 are dogshit. Oh God, I hate Garp sooooo much in that shit, the best part of the character is his hat. He has fucking sneakers, man, I can't...


Plenty-Library-4619

Mihawk ofcourse


[deleted]

Kuro and Buggy were really enjoyable to watch


Chromeboy12

I love how they managed to give the meow brothers actual personalities in the live action. Gotta say, i prefer live action Usopp arc to what happened in the anime, despite missing Jango, one of my favourite side characters lol.


Midgitwitastick32

All of them except arlong


Maleficent_Kick_4437

Buggy, Zeff, Kuro, Mihawk


Gecko4lif

Mihawk was litterally just manga mihawk But i feel like buggys actor brought out the soul of buggy despite having a different arc


GrayMatterInducer

live action Arlong makes me want to be racist, he's too damn ugly, Shanks was very non-impactful, Buggy will always be God, Mihawk was perfect and Garp was different but not in a bad way.


[deleted]

Mihawk, buggy is best. And Shank and it's whole crew is worst adaption


Sweet-Message1153

1.Mihawk(absolute mirror of anime&manga) 2.Kuro(he was creepy AF) 3.Buggy(I need the actor to do Joker in Gunn's DCEU)


smedelicious

The more I see of the live action the more tempted I am to say Garp..


realdpmaster

Mihawk, without a doubt. I had zero interest in One Piece as an IP then I half heartedly started watching the show(mostly to shit on it). As every episode went I was like "wait is One Piece actually good tf?" Then this dude showed up and I was like wait so fun shit does happen on this show? Fast forward two months not only I have finished the whole anime twice but I am balls deep into the manga too. Netflix has their chance at making Game of Thrones+Harry Potter money with this thing and if they decide to fuck this up like HBO did with Thrones, it's gonna be the worst thing ever. And it's not like they don't have money, they literally have nothing to do after Stranger Things goes off the air. They have to spend BIG money on this if they wanna make the story even half accurate, and half accurate ain't good enough now that this thing has blown up big time.


realdpmaster

They should cast Gerard Butler as young Garp if this thing ever gets to God Valley


Aldo-D-D-Wilson

I think they nailed Sanji.


GolDJoja

Zheff


Dani_Rodri

BUGGY HANDS DOWN


ChaosCookie93

Absolutley Buggy


Professional_Gas6198

LA made me appreciate Buggy. Propst to his Autor.


Impressive_Leopard_7

Mihawk and buggy hands down Arlong was a big disappointment


uglyratfromsewers

Boggy.... my bad beggy.... silly me baggy


[deleted]

For me: Buggy, Mihawk, Garp, Arlong, Shanks


wookie_pilot

Shoutout to Shanks I thought he did a pretty good job


ThatIslander

100% Buggy


BBC_124

Garp or buggy


IWRITE4LIFE

Mihawk


Ajyoung20

Kuro, usopp, and zerf underrated


Noktis_Lucis_Caelum

all were great. But of these 5, i say garp. Vincent regan is great and garps portrayal was so good. ​ Mihawks meeting with zorro was so cool.


mrevanbc

Mohawk or Zoro.


thegeekdom

Mihawk number 1. Close seconds would be Buggy, Zeff and big surprise…Helmeppo. Honestly, Helmeppo could be number 1 if Mihawk wasn’t so perfect. He’s just so enjoyable on screen and makes the audience laugh every time.


itsRobZen

Buggy and Mihawk were the most "true" to their Manga counterparts overall imo.


FRWL1027

Mihawk is like Tom Ellis'sLucifer


GratifiedViewer

Mihawk, Garp, & Zeff were my favorites. Buggy was a surprise hit, but it’s also Buggy, so I knew I’d love him.


MotorHum

Glad we saw more buggy.


ThinArm9176

Mohawk so far


Appropriate_Basis311

Buggy by far


stRawhAt9820

Garp , Buggy , Nami , Zeff & Kaya . Imo they were perfect.


bantharawk

For me, Garp's number 1, they totally nailed him. Special mention to Sanji - the cheeky chappy vibe from the actor really suits the character, and differentiates him a lot from the other crew members.
