It's not gonna happen.
I know it won't, it'll probably be One Piece in name only, but like with everything, there's always that 1% chance of a miracle happening so we might get lucky.
i have high hopes for One Piece. I watched the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie last night and couldn't believe how similar it was to the first season of One Piece.

I always despised the Pirates movies, mostly because I never found Depp's "crazy guy" shtick all that funny, for me it rarely ever works(Charlie remake and Mortedecai are the only films where I found that type of "crazy" performance from him tolerable, otherwise I much prefer his more toned down roles in films like Nick of Time and The Tourist)

Guess that's another reason why I never got into One Piece-because of it's similarities to a franchise I truly despise.

And also like Westerns, it's most well known for being set during an olden time in history, but nowadays it can be set in any era it wants to be
Like my favorite, Justified.
Or, you know, Breaking Bad. Banditos, griff lawmen, pistol duels, train robberies, Indian reservations, a clearly Western soundtrack, lots of abandoned desert areas for showdowns, the cocky young gun being brutally exposed to reality, themes of losing your humanity and of authority vs anarchy, etc.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Maybe later westerns. Earlier westerns tended to be much more simple in their ethos.

These themes have been key parts of many westerns at least since westerns have been in color.
