We're kicking off the work week with another look at what's ahead with Netflix, Tomorrow Studios, Shueisha, and showrunners Matt Owens & Joe Tracz's live-action series adaptation of manga creator and series consultant Eiichiro Oda's One Piece Season 2. With the upcoming season introducing a ton of new faces, the streamer has been rolling out a series of mini-teasers so fans can get to know the actors a little better. For this go-around, the spotlight shines on Camrus Johnson (The CW's Batwoman), aka Mr. 5, who offers some insights into the most impressive set (Whiskey Peak), most impressive character (David Dastmalchian's Mr. 3), advice he would have for his character, and more. As for how he would describe the second season? "Explosive. Daring. Bold. Impressive. Adventurous."
Here's a look at what Johnson had to offer about what it was like filming the season and what viewers can expect from Mr. 5, followed by our rundown of the cast, additional teasers/previews, and more:

Godoy had much more on his mind than just offering "the greatest, coolest, and most inspiring pirate to ever sail the Grand Line" birthday wishes back in May – as we've now learned officially. Check out the cake in the video below… 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.
