\u201c[He] was amazing. He has that excitement Luffy has, like, I\u2019m going to give it 1000 percent, everything I do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u00f1aki has that same attitude, just as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Scalise gave One Piece\u2019s stunt team plenty of credit, they were lucky enough to find a leading man willing to throw himself headfirst into the action.<\/p>\n
Luffy\u2019s rubbery fighting style was, of course, enhanced by CGI, but Godoy provided the basis for much of the show\u2019s thrilling action set pieces.<\/p>\n

So we weren\u2019t always painting him out of the scene.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a couple of ones we did all CG, but a lot of it is him in there. And it was due to his performances being so good.\u201d<\/p>\n Near the start of the series, Luffy and his friends Roronoa Zoro (played by Mackenyu) and Nami (Emily Rudd) take down the likes of Axe-Hand Morgan (Langley Kirkwood) and Buggy the Clown (Jeff Ward).<\/p>\n Luffy overcomes the odds thanks to his stretchy powers and quick-thinking skills – but there are plenty more battles to come that will put his abilities to the test.<\/p>\n \u201cHe threw 100 percent into it,\u201d Scalise added. \u201cAnd you always get that big smile on his face.<\/p>\n \u201cHis character as an actor helped the visual effects flow because he was performing so well that the effects just blend right into his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
