In a new behind-the-scenes video posted onto Netflix’s YouTube and social media pages, actor Ińaki Godoy – who will play lead protagonist Luffy – and show runners Steve Maeda and Matt Owns give fans of the best-selling manga and anime series a sneak peek at the construction of the upcoming show’s huge set pieces.

Watch the video below.

The video kicks off with a greeting from Godoy, Maeda and Owens, who reveal that they are currently in production in South Africa. They also share glimpses of the concept art of several iconic ships that fans have come to expect from the live-action series.

The video then transitions to a time-lapse of a life-sized set of the famed Baratie bar being constructed, along with Arlong’s map room and a very quick look at the Miss Love Duck ship.
