One Piece has been around since forever – with 1,000+ anime episodes and 1,000 manga chapters. The Live Action Movie aired just this 2023 on Netflix. If you’re a purist, you’ll definitely have a lot of bones to pick with the movie version, but we can’t deny the fact that One Piece has had a Renaissance because of it. And more fans is still good for Eiichiro Oda at the end of the day right? So allow me to show you a cosplay guide to the live action movie, which managed to mimic the costumes of the Anime/Manga pretty well too.

Dress up as Monkey D. Luffy

The main protagonist of One Piece sports 2 distinct red tops – the red sleeveless vest and the red long sleeved button down piece (which is kept unbuttoned to reveal the scar on his chest). Of course, we mustn’t forget his Straw Hat!

	Straw Hat Of course – let’s start with Luffy’s quintessential Straw Hat, which was the treasured hat of “Red-Haired” Shanks.
	Red Sleeveless Button Down Vest Get a rugged looking sleeveless red vest and unbutton a couple of the top buttons
	Red Button Down Pirate Shirt The other option is to wear this red button down medieval pirate shirt and keep it unbuttoned to reveal the scar
	Fake Scar Kit If you want that extra pop of detail, practice your makeup skills and create a fake scar
	Denim Cutoff / Capri Pants Wear a pair of denim shorts with a length that comes down to just above the knee. fold up the ends to get that extra detail going on
	Yellow Sash / Belt Wear a pirarte sash over the pants – either a bright yellow one or something more subdued like this almond shade
	Strap Sandals Perhaps the only significant difference in the getup of Luffy in the anime vs the movie is the footwear. In the anime, he sports a pair of strap straw sandals. In the movie, he wears a pair of shoes – really for practicality and safety purposes more than anything. The one I’m featuring here is a pair of straw strap sandals since you won’t be doing any stunts during the cosplay gig anyway

Dress up as Roronoa Zoro

Everyone can hate on and nitpick the live-action One Piece Netflix flick all you want, but I’m sure all of us agree that Roronoa Zoro kept all of us pretty quiet and happy heheh

	Green Wig So the first thing you need is green hair. If you are willing to commit and dye your hair green that would look even better!
	Fake Scar Kit You can create a scar over your left eye and chest area
	Three Gold Bar Earrings I love these! And conveniently, they are just clip-on. Wear three on your left ear
	Head Bandana In some scenes, he sports a black head pirate bandana
	Haramaki Zoro has a green waist band
	Sword Holster Get yourself a sword holster. Ideally you will need more than one since Zoro carries three swords
	Roronoa Zoro Sword Prop Here’s a sword prop based on Zoro’s sword with really good reviews!
	White Henley Shirt The anime Zoro wears a very basic white henley shirt, unbuttoned
	V-Neck Top Men A close replica of the movie version was hard to find as there aren’t a lot of wrap shirts available for men. You can opt for a v-neck top like this one to improvise.
	Dark Green Bandana Tie this around your left bicep

Dress up as Nami

It’s easy dressing up as the navigator of the Straw Hat pirates and the apple of almost everyone’s eye!

	Orange Short Wig Get a wig with bangs like this one
	Blue White Striped Top Get a top with thick stripes.
	Orange Pleated Skirt The most distinct part of Nami’s skirt is the pleated detail. The anime version is just a plain mini skirt
	Ankle Boots Finish it off with a pair of ankle boots
