It has been definitely a long time since the project was announced but I will assure you that we have been working on it! he also added it’s not an easy job working with different cultures around the world but the process will definitely yield something more than special! for now, we just announced the main cast, or else it would have been leaked by some other source that’s why we hurried the process isn’t this hilarious, lol. We decided on the main cast after several discussions involving people around the globe, their aura, their voice, their height, their facial structures, their acting skills, the way they carry themselves, and especially the balance among Straw Hat Crew Pirates. Look forward to furthering updates in future
