Yes, the one thing I love about One Piece that I really love is that its an anime that embraces being a cartoon as well. The protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, is clearly inspired by Popeye and there are all sorts of blatantly cartoon moments in one piece like characters having their eyes pop out of their heads, etc that are just impossible to adapt to live action. It’s not just like taking a very high fantasy setting and making it live-action, it’s like making Popeye or Mickey Mouse or Nemo in Dreamland live action.
There are only a few very cartoony anime out there actually and most of them are older like one of my personal favorites like Lupin the III.
I think Mickey would work in a similar style to Detective Pikachu, at least the more realistic stories where he is just a police helper for investigations.
I was actually going to go on another tangent about how Lupin III could be done in the same style as roger rabbit in live action and work but I stopped myself. I think Mickey would be great for a PG Roger Rabbit type toon-meets-real world thing.
Nothing like that would work for One Piece though, it’s completely unadaptable in every single way.
