Netflix's One Piece: Here's How Joe Manganiello Could Look as Crocodile

As an ardent fan of One Piece spanning over two decades, I can confidently say that the upcoming season is shaping up to be the most exciting yet! The addition of Joe Manganiello as Crocodile, one of the series’ most notorious villains, has sent waves of anticipation among the community.

The group responsible for “One Piece” is expanding rapidly, with Netflix actively hiring for season two now that production has resumed. As Luffy steers the Straw Hat crew, anticipation mounts for season two, which promises to introduce some major characters. Just recently, Netflix confirmed Joe Manganiello as part of the cast, set to portray Crocodile. Some stunning fan art offers a glimpse into how Manganiello could appear in his villainous role.

It’s evident that the artwork depicting Manganiello in One Piece, which hails from K164 on Twitter, features some creative editing. This depiction offers a tantalizing glimpse into how the True Blood star might appear when he squares off against the Straw Hat pirates. Dressed in a sharp suit and equipped with a hook prosthetic, Crocodile exudes an intimidating savagery in this shot. Fans of One Piece are well aware of the ruthless nature of this villain, and Manganiello is soon expected to bring that cold-hearted demeanor to life on screen.

Who Is Crocodile?

Undeniably, the well-known actor seems perfectly suited for the role of Crocodile in “One Piece” season two. Since the new season kicks off in Loguetown, it’s likely that the Straw Hat crew will encounter Manganiello first as Mr. 0. This nickname signifies that Crocodile is the head of Baroque Works, a secretive crime syndicate with influence throughout Arabasta. Their ultimate goal is to take over the desert kingdom, with Mr. 0 leading the charge. Yet, while orchestrating his takeover, Crocodile also presents himself as an ally to keep his subterfuge unnoticed by the public.

In the world of One Piece, I’ve come across some tough opponents, but none quite like the cunning Crocodile. His influence isn’t just confined to what we saw during his stint as Arlong’s boss or Baroque Works leader; he’s a Warlord of the Sea, after all. This guy is one formidable adversary. The Straw Hat crew and the Grand Line haven’t seen the last of him yet. Over time, Crocodile has donned numerous roles, and his origins run deep. So, Mr. Manganiello, buckle up; this role might just be a long-term commitment for you.

What to Expect From One Piece Season 2

Under the leadership of the Crocodile cast, Netflix’s “One Piece” continues its production journey. Mark Manganiello has announced his imminent trip to set for filming. In the interim, several stars have already made their way to Cape Town, South Africa to commence shooting. Interestingly, not only are the original cast members of “One Piece” reprising their roles from season one, but a host of new faces are ready to join the crew as well. For instance, Lera Above has been selected for the role of Nico Robin (or Miss All Sunday). Additionally, notable actors such as Katey Sagal and David Dastmalchian have joined “One Piece” season two, making it a star-studded production.

Regarding the comeback of “One Piece” on Netflix, there hasn’t been a specific date confirmed yet, but rumors point towards a 2025 release. When it does come back on, the creator of the series, Eiichiro Oda, has hinted at which story arcs will be covered. In season two, “One Piece” on Netflix is set to explore Loguetown and eventually conclude with Drum Island. So, fans won’t have to wait much longer to enjoy Tony Tony Chopper in live action!
