These are small subtle changes: for example, although Oda knew that, at the time of making the long story (five years, according to initial calculations), Shanks would give his straw hat to Luffy, in this first manga <strong>who gives it to him is his own grandfather<\/strong> (who in the manga did not appear until much later\u2026 And we already know how that ended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/piece.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-301570\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the most interesting thing to see the evolution of &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/one-piece-netflix-everything-we-know-adaptation-we-hope-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One Piece<\/a>&#8216; is to<strong> see the original designs in the different artbooks<\/strong>, where you can see that from the beginning it was clear that there would be ten crew members. Some were very clear (Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Sanji) and the rest\u2026 let&#8217;s say they were polished. For example, Chopper was, in the first group image, a smoking human-reno and Usopp an adult pirate captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/one-piece.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-301569\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest of the crew has been directly changed, sometimes for the worse.
