言葉がなく。
色んな作品でご一緒させていただいたのですが「ビースト・ウォーズ」と「デストロイ オール ヒューンズ」の印象が強すぎました。
そして、ご近所さん。
いつか家族でご飯行きましょうねって話しもしてて。
ご冥福をお祈りします。
光くん大丈夫かな。。。
Oda also mentions, “The ‘Grand Line’ is a world that continues to expand!! Where is the model for that country!? How can it be linked to reality!? The excitement doesn’t stop with just the diverse cast that gathers from all around the world!!”
As Season 2 continues the story with the cast of the Straw Hat Pirates who deepened their bonds in Season 1, it remains to be seen what new waves and adventures await. Stay tuned for character announcements from August 21 to 23.

Yes, the Hollywood version of ONE PIECE is in production, and filming has begun. The story will cover “Loguetown,” “Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape),” “Whiskey Peak,” “Little Garden,” and “Drum Island”!! Think about it. It sounds expensive!! HahaHowever, I will continue to insist on script and casting details to my heart’s content!! In response, showrunner Matt, Netflix, and Tomorrow Studios will be pulling their hair out! Even though we became good friends in Season 1.
But everyone shares the same sentiment! They have promised that they will not release the work until I am satisfied. This is not a ‘contract’ but a ‘verbal promise.’ I hope you understand the greatness and spirit of those who keep this promise!! And their undeniable ability to adapt the story to screen!! I am beyond excited!! The cast announcements are being compiled on the official X, so please check it out. The ‘Grand Line’ is a world that continues to expand!! Where is the model for that country!? How can it be linked to reality!? The excitement doesn’t stop with just the diverse cast that gathers from all around the world!!
What about the still-unannounced Vivi!? Miss All Sunday!? What about Chopper!? I can’t reveal everything all at once, but there will be character announcements on August 21, 22, and 23! Stay tuned and look forward to the upcoming updates!!
