One Piece star fought for a manga-accurate Nami costume "for the fans" despite shooting in "the dead of winter": "She was really, really badass"

One Piece star Emily Rudd's Nami costume differs slightly in the Netflix show from the manga (and anime), but the actor wanted to make sure it was as accurate as possible "for the fans."

For the show's Reverse Mountain arc, Nami's blue patterned tank top from the manga and anime becomes a long-sleeved shirt because of the weather conditions during filming, but her miniskirt stayed the same at Rudd's insistence.

"In the manga, it is a vest, but because she has a lot of action and we were shooting in the dead of winter and we wanted to keep our dear Emily warm, we were able to add long sleeves to this look," the show's costume designer Kerry Anne Barnard told InStyle.

"She was really having to do all that action in a teeny tiny little skirt," Barnard continued. "She knew it was going to be cold, but as she said to me, 'This is for the fans. I want to get this as correct as possible,' and she was really, really badass about it because it really was cold."

The Netflix adaptation of the beloved series has been a massive hit with critics in its sophomore outing – the second season currently has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 100%, with our own One Piece season 2 review calling it "the live-action adaptation that longtime fans deserve."

Meanwhile, One Piece fans are trying to work out the logistics of deep-sea diving after the manga's creator Eiichiro Oda revealed he'd dropped the answer to the mysterious One Piece treasure 600 metres underwater (and, now, even iShowSpeed is getting involved).
