Creator Eiichirō Oda has barred intra-crew romances to keep the story centered on camaraderie.

Overview

The new season premiered on March 10 and quickly reached No. 1 on Netflix’s series chart, with early reviews showing a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of reporting.
Co-showrunner Steven Maeda said Oda explicitly forbade romantic pairings among Straw Hat members, confirming that core relationships will remain platonic.
