Romance Dawn · One Piece · released 31 August 2023
Approximate, and deliberately so. The live action is a rewrite rather than an adaptation — arcs are reordered, subplots merged, characters brought forward whole seasons — so an episode moves through a span of manga rather than adapting a list of chapters. Nobody publishes a chapter-level mapping, and we are not going to invent one.

Where to pick the story up
Having watched to the end of season 1, episode 1, the next thing you have not already seen is chapter 8 — the start of the Orange Town arc.
- Manga: start at chapter 8
- Anime: start at episode 5
- One Pace: start at Enter: Nami
The live action also brings a few reveals forward that the manga saves for later, so a handful of things you already know will not have happened yet where you are starting. That is a feature of the retelling, not a gap in the numbers above.
The details
Live action season 1, episode 1 ("Romance Dawn") covers roughly manga chapters 1–7. The Toei anime spends 4 episodes on the same ground, which is the compression in one number.
Luffy's departure, Koby and Alvida, and Shells Town compressed into one hour. The Marines' pursuit is pulled forward into a season-long thread that the manga does not have here.
