! Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace is gonna be EVERYTHING 
I've been waiting for a live-action adaptation of One Piece for ages and it's finally happening. Cole Escola as Bon Clay too? That's some top-notch casting right there 
And can we talk about how excited I am to see the Spade Pirates crew come together on screen? 
This is gonna be so lit! 
just saw that Xolo Maridueña is taking on Portgas D. Ace in the live-action 'One Piece' series and I'm SO here for it 
love how the show is getting a talented cast together to bring these iconic characters to life, especially with Iñaki Godoy as Luffy and Emily Rudd as Nami, it's shaping up to be an epic adventure 
. The cast is getting more fire every episode, Cole Escola as Bon Clay too? That's gonna be a whole different vibe on the show 
. Netflix better bring the heat this season, I'm ready to dive back into the world of One Piece 
can't wait to see them all come together on screen this season is gonna be lit 
xolo maridueña as portgas d ace is going to be fire 
cole escola as bon clay is also a great addition, more assassin vibes in this series are always welcome 
.
... Cape Town, South Africa is going to provide a totally unique backdrop for the Spade Pirates' adventures, and I can already imagine how beautiful it's going to look on screen 
. Fingers crossed they get everything just right 
, 'cause with this cast and crew, anything seems possible 
And Portgas D. Ace is already a part of the Spade Pirates crew? Doesn't that mean he was already a pirate or something? 
And why do they need such a big hat to be intimidating? Can't just give him some cool armor or something? 
and let's not forget about luffy, nami, zoro...the cast just keeps getting better & better! 
also can't wait for Season 3 to start in SA, Cape Town is gonna be lit! 
. One thing though - I've seen some fan art and it seems like Portgas' hat is actually more oversized than what the Netflix show might portray 
Maybe it's not just about acting anymore... maybe they're recruiting people for some secret organization or something 
... serious though, can't wait to see Xolo Maridueña's take on Portgas D. Ace 
. Hopefully, he doesn't butcher the character (pun intended) 
cape town, south africa as the location for season 3? that's going to be so cool to watch 
let's get ready for some serious pirate action and epic adventures with luffy and friends!!!
