The official description of the series states: “Monkey D. Luffy (Godoy) is a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom since he can remember. Luffy sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, One Piece, to become King of the Pirates! But in order to find the ultimate prize, Luffy will need to assemble the crew he’s always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.”

Matt Owens and Joe Tracz serve as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners on Season 2 of “One Piece.” Oda is also an executive producer along with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements through Tomorrow Studios, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, and Steven Maeda.

The series was created in partnership with Shueisha and is produced by Tomorrow Studios, an ITV Studios partner, and Netflix.
