I'm pretty possitive about the live action. The actors have the potential to play the characters in a satisfying way and I don't need a 1 to 1 adaption if the main beats/emotions are there.
Only thing I'm a bit worried about is chemnistry between the actors. The age gap between Luffy's actor and Nami's actress is a whole decade after all. Might be hard for a natural closeness. And even with script changes a lot of East Blue rests on the development of understanding between Luffy and Nami. There were often times they were alone in which Nami learned what Luffy's version of a pirate and treasure is (Treasure-Straw Hat talk in the house, Shushu's burning shop+its revenge, Straw hat damage in the Buggy fight, refusal to give Gaimon the treasure chests, after the Kuro fight). All needed to build up the "help me" moment, which is the climax of the East Blue Saga.
