In addition to exciting us with this tantalizing announcement, Oda also offers us a major surprise, teasing the arrival of a new character adored by fans, Tony Tony Chopper. The mangaka states: "The Straw Hats are going to need a doctor", before drawing the cutest character in the series.
As the series' creators had indicated, they didn't wait for confirmation and have already begun pre-production work on season 2. According to them, it could arrive on Netflix within 12 to 18 months, and could be followed by a dozen more, if successful. The challenge will be enormous for this new adventure, which will require even more special effects!
