The new images were taken by Twitter user @Risebito and shared by One Piece fan account @OP_Netflix_Fan. According to the description, the footage was taken at film studios in Cape Town, South Africa, where the new series is being filmed. Although the photos were taken from a distance, they appear to show several tall mast sailboats in different stages of construction. The fuller ship bears a strong resemblance to the Miss Love Duck, the uniquely decorated pirate ship run by “Iron Mace” Alvida, one of the first antagonistic pirate captains Luffy meets on his journey. You can also see the structure of a larger ship; Although it is clearly still in the early stages of construction, the shape and size of the ship has given rise to speculation that it may be the flagship of Kreig’s pirate armada, the Dreadnaught Saber.
