Netflix's One Piece proved itself to be an exceptional live-action adaptation that it easily bagged as second season with how much the public loved the show. As One Piece Season 2 has been renewed, Mackenyu, the actor who plays Zoro, teases that there are big surprises happening.

The success of Netflix's One Piece is expected to continue with the series being renewed for another season which is currently in the middle of its production. With this, Mackenyu who brought Roronoa Zoro to life teased in an interview with Augustman that there are exciting things in store for the upcoming Season 2:
I’m so excited for season two of One Piece. Actually, I do not know at all what’s coming up. There is not yet any script or shoot date yet as of now, so there is not much I can share about that. Chopper’s going to be there, definitely.
Mackenyu showed his excitement to see Chopper and from his words, it is confirmed that the series is not yet too deep in development. Still, there are a lot of source material for Netflix's One Piece to base on, and there are more exciting things ahead for the Straw Hat pirates from the manga of Eiichiro Oda.
