Just recently, Netflix premiered a One Piece live-action series. The show was received well by both fans and critics alike, and a second season is currently in development.
The original anime series is available in its entirety on Crunchyroll. They describe it as follows:
From cutting classes to brawling in the streets, Yusuke Urameshi is not your typical role model. In fact, this kid’s nothing more than a fourteen-year-old delinquent with a talent for trouble. But in a single selfless act Yusuke dies while saving another. For such noble sacrifice he is given a second chance at life, but it’s to be a life far different than the one left behind. Now a Spirit Detective, the young man must track down demons and humans alike who desire to rule over the three realms of reality.
