We’ve got less than two months until season two of One Piece, and Netflix has a new trailer to mark the occasion. Where previous looks were about the new lands and adventures awaiting the Straw Hats, this one’s mostly about the big threat they’ll be facing: Baroque Works. You know they’re bad dudes when the music lets the guitarist go hard the whole time.
Like Zoro says, they’re a secret group of assassins, and they’re more than happy to take down Luffy and the gang for cash. Making up this flashy group are Mmes. All-Sunday (Lera Abova), Wednesday (Charithra Chandran), Valentine (Jazzara Jaslyn), and Goldenweek (Sophia Anne Caruso), and Messrs. 9 (Daniel Lasker), 5 (Camrus Johnson), and 3 (David Dastmalchian). We’ve seen All-Sunday here and there, and this trailer gives a brief glimpse at her powers, which might make her more of a handful for the Straw Hats than the rest of her teammates.
As with last season, there’s several One Piece manga arcs getting adapted for this season’s eight-episode run. It looks like this season’s going all-in on the “Arabasta Saga,” which introduces a lot of key characters. Not all of them will make it into this season, but the ones that do, like the much-advertised Tony Tony Chopper (Mikaela Hoover), seem like they’ll make quite an impression.
The Straw Hats have a lot coming at them, and we’ll see how they fare when One Piece season two hits Netflix on March 10, with a third season already in the works.
