Oda also confirmed that the third season will be capping off the Alabasta saga of the series, and fans will see the first steps of that major arc with the second season. That’s another key reason that fans are going to need to keep an eye out for what’s going to go down this March.

New faces we’ll see in One Piece: Into the Grand Line are the likes of Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper, Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefartari Cobra, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, and Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0. These actors in particular have been announced for extended roles in the third season too, so we’ll have to see how they factor into the new episodes.
