The journey of Monkey D. Luffy and his gang will have the same adventures and feel, but made with modern effects as they set off to find a treasure. We can see certain sequences of the manga mirrored in the show like Luffy handing over his hat to Nami or the fight sequence with Captain Mihawk.
Regarding the skepticism, the trailer was expected to help confused fans decide whether they are liking it or not, and here is the verdict.
Fans give their reaction to seeing the trailer of the live version of Netflix’s One Piece
Adaptation of any book, game, or manga is a big task, especially if one wants to win over the existing fan base. Netflix’s One Piece has yet to pass that test, considering the manga has loyal fans who are doubtful. Seeing the trailer, a lot of the fans were excited and realized that it actually looks great. Another feels that the show will be disliked despite being good, for no good reason.
EXACTLY! It's actually looking great.

Just as he thought, there were critics who feel that the show looks way different from what they imagined it to be. The blame usually goes to show makers not sticking to the original source.
no hate to this, but why would I watch this if we already have the manga and anime 💀 some things are meant to only be drawn/animated and this shows, it doesn’t look awful, but One Piece simply doesn’t work as a live action series

Looks promising, but they did the thing that I feared the most… They are not following the manga… Like what are the fishman pirates doing in Baratie, why is Garp at Roger's execution, all little details that are annoying for the One Piece Fans. CGI and vfx look great though

This isn’t one piece. In the sense that it’s not merely adapting what’s on the page of each chapter 1:1 and adds many of its own elements which is exactly why I like it and think it will do well.

But one fan feels that not copying and adding its own element makes it more exciting.
Omfgosh. Battle axe is gonna fucking hit so different.

If the Live Action Adaptation works. Can't wait to see Two Endgame Arch-Enemy Villains Blackbeard & Imu-Sama Live Action Actors. For Imu if possible I like to see Emperor Palpatine Darth Sidious Actor or Someone Young who played Roman Emperor to play them cuz they're Immortal…

However, seeing their scenes come to life is still exciting. One Piece live-action will drop on Netflix on 31st August.
