One Piece: Monkey D. Luffy BDay Video Teases Mr. 3 for Season 2

In a video celebrating Monkey D. Luffy's birthday, One Piece star Iñaki Godoy dropped a ten-ton hint that Mr. 3 will appear in Season 2.

Now that we know that Joe Tracz (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) has joined Season 1 co-showrunner, writer & executive producer Matt Owens as co-showrunner, it's time to get back to the fun stuff. You know, like updating you on how things are looking with the second season of Netflix, Tomorrow Studios & publisher Shueisha's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece. And what better day to do that than on Monkey D. Luffy's birthday? But Iñaki Godoy, Monkey's live-action counterpart, had much more on his mind than just offering "the greatest, coolest, and most inspiring pirate to ever sail the Grand Line" birthday wishes.

Check out the cake… and how it looks like a candle… and then we have the "3" at the top that Godoy lights – before giving us a sly smile. Of course, that has to mean that we're getting "Loan Shark" Galdino, aka Mr. 3 (former officer agent of Baroque Works – alongside partner Miss Goldenweek – and the main antagonist of the "Little Garden Arc") for the second season. After eating the Doru Doru no Mi Devil Fruit, Mr. 3 develops the ability to create & control wax.
