The East Blue saga is the Season 1 of the original One Piece series, covering the first twelve volumes of the manga by Eiichiro Oda, it aired on Fuji Television from October 20, 1999 through March 14, 2001, which is more than 20 years, so a remake will make sense specially if the aim is to gain more fans for the title.
