The One Piece English cast shared the life lessons they've learned playing the Straw Hats for nearly 20 years
When you’ve played characters as long as the One Piece English language voice cast has - since 2007! - they inevitably become part of you. The adventures and heartbreaks of the Straw Hats have taught all of us important lessons about life and ourselves, but what have the voice actors behind them learned from being on One Piece?

In a testament to the depth of Eiichiro Oda’s work, pretty much every other One Piece cast member had a similar lesson to share. “Live in the moment,” said Luci Christian, Nami’s voice actor. “You don’t have to be traumatized by your past to recognize it and you don’t have to be so focused on your future that you can’t live in the moment.” It explains why the moment Nami and Luffy share at Arlong Park remains one of the most important moments in One Piece’s long run.
