Netflix is expanding the Season 2 cast with the addition of three new actors set play key characters in the next installment of the hit live-action adaptation.
This includes Rigo Sanchez (Outerbanks), who has been tapped to portray the role of Luffy’s mysterious father Monkey D. Dragon, who, in the original manga series, is known as the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Besides Sanchez, Yonda Thomas (Redemption) and James Hiroyuki Liao (Presumed Innocent) have also been cast in One Piece Season 2 for the respective roles of Igaram and Ipponmatsu.
In the original manga and anime, Igaram was introduced as Princess Vivi’s loyal guard who accompanied her during an undercover mission.
Meanwhile, Ipponmatsu is expected to be introduced during the Loguetown arc as the arms shop owner who will give Zoro his new swords.
