Stunts, Swords and Seasons: 'One Piece' stars stay the course for season two

LOS ANGELES, March 5 (Reuters) - The cast of Netflix's ( NFLX )

live-action "One Piece" isn't ready to dock their

pirate ship anytime soon.

"As long as people enjoy it (the show), we enjoy it, we're

healthy, and the quality stays high, I think we could go for

quite some time," said Jacob Gibson, who plays Usopp, the pirate

crew's spirited sniper and storyteller.

After joking they could keep filming for "200 years," he

added, "As long as we can make it great."

The hit series - drawn from Eiichiro Oda's ongoing manga and

anime - drops its second season Tuesday on Netflix ( NFLX ). At the same

time, the crew is already deep into filming season three, which

began production in November 2025.

Fans can also catch big battles from the first two episodes

of season two on AMC theater screens.

"They're going to feel as close as they can to how we felt

walking onto these sets," Emily Rudd, who portrays Nami, the

crew's savvy navigator, said about fans watching the show in

movie theaters.

The adventure follows optimist Monkey D. Luffy, who has the

power to stretch his body, played by Iñaki Godoy, and his

beloved Straw Hat Pirates as they hunt for the legendary

treasure known as the One Piece.

The ensemble also includes Mackenyu Arata, who plays the

swordsman named Zoro, Taz Skylar, who portrays master

chef Sanji, and newcomer Charithra Chandran, who joins as

the fierce bounty hunter Miss Wednesday.

Chandran dove into stunt training, calling the fight

choreography "like a dance - broken down to make it simple."

With a show packed with globe-trotting missions and

high-energy brawls, Godoy said he's learned

to pace himself while playing his energetic lead character.

"I've gotten better at managing my energy - it's a lot of long

days," the 22-year-old added.

However, he feels that playing Luffy has always felt natural for

him.

"Since I was a little kid, I think I always had a certain

energy about me, and maybe that's why it feels so right that me

and Luffy found each other," Godoy said.
