It’s less than two months until the second season of Netflix’s hit manga adaptation One Piece sets sail. News tidbits about season two have been on a steady drip for months already, from the announcement of new cast members (including Cole Escola and Xolo Maridueña, who are set to join the show in season 3) to a behind-the-scenes featurette. But now there’s a whole teaser—appropriately chaotic, mildly threatening, and introducing Nico Robin (Lera Abova), the vulture-riding otter Mr. 13, and a whole pile of assassins from the Baroque Works organization.
Because this is One Piece, said assassins have delightfully outlandish outfits and wigs that hide machine guns. As one does.
Here’s the synopsis:
Netflix’s epic high-seas pirate adventure, One Piece, returns for Season 2—unleashing fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line—a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.
There are piles of new characters coming this season, including Callum Kerr as Captain Smoker, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday (also known as Nefertari Vivi), Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Joe Manganiello as Crocodile, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, and Mikaela Hoover as the voice of Tony Tony Chopper.
One Piece stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. The series is based on the manga by Eiichiro Oda, and has Ian Stokes and Joe Tracz as showrunners. It’s already been renewed for a third season—but first, season two premieres March 10th on Netflix.
