Making a good live action One Piece movie would be a very risky endeavor. The animated movies often don't do that well, and a live action one could be a lot worse. It would either have to be very minimalistic (like the original Star Trek) or have lots of CGI (Brook and Chopper would have to be CGI, and so would many Devil Fruit powers, like Gomu Gomu and Hana Hana). Balancing a good story with all those effects is a very, very difficult task that most filmmakers fail at.
