One Piece, currently serialized by Eiichiro Oda in Weekly Shonen Jump, is a maritime adventure romance that is one of Japan’s most popular worldwide. It depicts the epic story of the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Monkey D. Luffy, setting out on the open seas in search of the One Piece, the treasure left behind by the legendary pirate king Gold Roger. The live-action version of the Netflix series made a big splash with season 1 entering the top 10 in 93 countries and topping the charts in 46 countries immediately after its release.
Season 1 was set in Luffy’s hometown, the East Blue, and depicted a fierce battle with rough pirates such as Buggy and Arlong, as well as the origins of the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventure. Luffy and his companions finally became wanted men, a kind of pirate badge, and set out on the Grand Line, each with their own dreams.
The sequel, Season 2, will depict a voyage on the “Grand Line,” an ocean of adventure that goes beyond common sense. New cast members who will play the “large-scale” characters have now been revealed.
The role of Dory, known as the “Blue Oni Dory” in the original work and known as the “brave Elbaf warrior,” will be played by Werner Cozer from the TV drama “Getroud met rugby.” Brogy, also an Elbaf warrior and known as the “Red Oni Brogy,” will be played by Brendan Marley, known for his impressive performances in “Broken Darkness” and other works.
In addition, the role of Crocus, known as the lighthouse keeper of the Twin Capes in the original work, will be played by veteran actor Clive Russell, who has appeared in “Game of Thrones,” “Thor: The Dark World,” “The Last Duel,” etc. Let’s continue to look forward to the latest news on the story of Season 2, which will be “scaled up” with their appearance.
