Working directly under the organisation’s mysterious leader, Mr. 0, she serves as the vice president of the criminal syndicate. However, fans will know that there’s far more to her than meets the eye…
Where have I seen Lera Abova before? Prior to her casting in One Piece season 2, Abova most recently starred in Ethan Coen’s comedy caper Honey Don’t!, as well as the Netflix film Exterritorial, Luc Besson’s spy thriller Anna, and the TV spin-off Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin.

He also possesses a unique Devil Fruit power: the Baku Baku no Mi (aka the Munch-Munch Fruit), which allows him to eat anything and turn it into a weapon.
King Wapol dresses in tin-plate armour and a hooded cape, and his menacing recent character reveal certainly lives up to expectations!

One Piece season 2 and 3 cast: Who are the returning characters?
Iñaki Godoy plays Monkey D Luffy
Who is Monkey D Luffy? Luffy is none other than the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and also holds the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit, enabling him to transform his body into rubber at will. Despite being a relatively young pirate, Luffy's immense spirit and optimism is often what draws people into signing onto the Straw Hat Pirates' crew.
Where have I seen Iñaki Godoy before? Prior to his casting in One Piece, Godoy has had roles in the likes of La querida del Centauro alongside Who Killed Sara?, with smaller credits such as MexZombies and The Imperfects filling out his recent acting history.
Emily Rudd plays Nami
Who is Nami? Nami is the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the second person to ever join the crew. Originally, Nami was a part of the Arlong Pirates gang, but eventually joins forces with the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat Arlong and become their expert navigator. Unlike Luffy and Zoro's dreams of becoming the best in their profession, Nami actually dreams of creating the biggest map of the world.

Where have I seen Mackenyu Arata before? Before One Piece, you probably best know Arata from his role as Cadet Ryoichi in Pacific Rim: Uprising - he's also been in a number of live-action anime adaptations including Tokyo Ghoul: 'S'.
Jacob Romero Gibson plays Usopp
Who is Usopp? If you couldn't tell by the slingshot, Usopp is the expert sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates. He's widely regarded as one of the funniest characters of the show because of his foolishness and comical cowardice. What's interesting about Usopp is, at one point, it was planned for him to become the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates instead.
Where have I seen Jacob Romero Gibson before? A relative newcomer, Gibson has had short appearances in the likes of Grey's Anatomy and All Rise, alongside the television series Rap Sh!t.
Taz Skylar plays Sanji
Who is Sanji? Sanji is the extravagant cook of the Straw Hat Pirates and is actually a former prince of the Germa Kingdom due to his background as part of the Vinsmoke Family.
Unlike many of the other crew members, who seek fame and fortune, Sanji’s ultimate dream is to find 'All Blue', a so-called chef’s paradise. It’s said to be the location where all four of the different oceans meet, and where the rarest animals supposedly exist.
Where have I seen Taz Skylar before? Skylar has popped up in the likes of The Lazarus Project, Boiling Point, The Kill Team and even Villain opposite Craig Fairbrass, making this a fun reunion for the pair.
Aidan Scott plays Helmeppo
Who is Helmeppo? Helmeppo is Captain Morgan's incredibly annoying son who uses the power of his father to get others to do what he wants. Despite this super grating personality, many fans of One Piece have mentioned that Helmeppo's appearances are often some of the best of the early parts of the anime.
Where have I seen Aidan Scott before? Apart from The Kissing Booth 2 and The Power, Scott has also starred in The Fix and Action Point.
Jeff Ward plays Buggy
Who is Buggy? He's not quite Art the Clown, but Buggy is still pretty menacing. He is the leader of the Buggy Pirates Crew, and a formidable foe due to his ability to split his body into different pieces thanks to his Devil Fruit. As you can see, he's got a somewhat unique appearance to him.
Where have I seen Jeff Ward before? If you're a horror fan, you may remember Ward from Brand New Cherry Flavor, or perhaps you're more of an Agents of Shield fan - where he played Deke Shaw.
Peter Gadiot plays Shanks
Who is Shanks? Shanks plays a pivotal role in One Piece, as his interactions with a young Luffy are what inspire the hero to start his own crew when he's older. He serves as the captain of the Red Hair Pirates.
Where have I seen Peter Gadiot before? You probably best know Gadiot from his stint on cannibal thriller Yellowjackets, and he's also appeared in the likes of Queen of the South and Matador as well.
Steven Ward plays Dracule Mihawk
Who is Dracule Mihawk? Dracule has quite the reputation, known throughout the world of One Piece as the supposed 'world's strongest swordsman'. A former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he shares a connection with Zoro - in that the green-haired swordsman sees Dracule as the ultimate barrier between him and his dream.
Where have I seen Steven Ward before? Ward has appeared in shows such as Vagrant Queen and Inconceivable, alongside Catch Me A Killer and Dinner to Die For.
Craig Fairbrass plays Chef Zeff
Who is Chef Zeff? Chef Zeff is the head chef and owner of the Baratie, a floating restaurant. He's also essentially the father figure to Sanji, inspiring him to seek out the mystical All Blue.

McKinley Belcher III plays Arlong
Who is Arlong? If you thought Buggy was the oddest person you'd see on this list, think again. Arlong is none other than the captain and leader of the Arlong Pirates, the gang that Nami is originally a part of when we are introduced to her.
Where have I seen McKinley Belcher III before? You may have seen him in Marriage Story or Mapplethorpe, but if you're an Ozark fan, you will definitely recognise him as Agent Trevor Evans.
