When One Piece returns for Season 2, the Straw Hat Pirates are heading into uncharted territory.
Premiering March 10 on Netflix, the new season sees Luffy and his crew finally entering the Grand Line — the most dangerous stretch of ocean in the world — where stronger enemies, bigger stakes, and even greater adventures await. Along the way, the crew will travel through iconic locations like Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, and Drum Island while encountering new allies and formidable opponents including Baroque Works and Marine forces led by Smoker and Tashigi.
Returning as the Straw Hats’ sharpshooter, storyteller, and aspiring “brave warrior of the sea,” Jacob Romero Gibson steps back into the role of Usopp — a character known as much for his humor as he is for the courage he’s still learning to discover within himself.
I caught up with Jacob to talk about Usopp’s emotional journey in Season 2, the deeper bond forming among the Straw Hat crew, and how the character evolves as the adventures in the Grand Line push everyone to their limits.
