In an interview with ‘TV Line’, Steven Maeda, producer of the successful series, confirmed the request of Eiichiro Oda, who made the manga a worldwide success.
“One of the mandates of Eiichiro Oda was against romance in the team. That’s a hard no, as far as the manga and the live-action show go… It was because they just had great chemistry together, but that certainly wasn’t the intention,” said Steven Maeda.
Many ‘One Piece’ fans noticed the harmony between the actors of “Zoro” and “Nami”, who were played by Mackenyu Maeda and Emily Rudd; both did a magnificent job, so there was speculation about a alleged courtship.
“The thing is the chemistry between Mackenyu and Emily was good, and there was no intention to make it seem like a romantic element. You are free to read and feel what you want from the series. That is the grace of television”, added the producer of the series.
