Even in a hypothetical scenario where Oda had 100% creative control over the Netflix adaptation, all the flop would prove is that he cannot handle running a TV show which is hardly surprising since the skills for being a successful mangaka don't translate to being a successful showrunner.
His manga and anime audience are still going to be there. They aren't going to abandon the main medium for their favourite franchise just because a Live Action adaptation was crap, especially considering live action adaptations of anime/manga generally come with the expectation that they are going to flop.
The story that Oda has made would be the flop if it does indeed turn out to be a failure. It being life action doesn't change that very fact.
Hense why this life action series is an expansion onto the fanbase, us manga/anime audience could care less about it. But for a new person who doesn't watch anime or read manga saw the Netflix Life action version of One Piece. Read all the "professional" critics saying it a good show then it's peak his/her intrest into watching it. That would grant Oda a potentially a new fan and a person who could buy his product therefore granting him even more money.
I can't say because I don't use X/Twitter. ;/
But at least I know that it was big enough that my co worker who don't watch anime orOp know what G5 is. Lolz
