The Complete New Cast — Character by Character

Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper — The most anticipated casting reveal of the entire season, announced at Netflix’s TUDUM event. Hoover, known for Superman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and The Suicide Squad, voices the beloved reindeer-doctor hybrid. Fans are already sold.
Lera Abova as Ms. All Sunday (Nico Robin) — One of the most significant castings of the season given Robin’s critical importance to the entire franchise story. Abova, seen in Netflix’s action-thriller Exterritorial and films like Anna, looks every bit the part. This will be her career-defining breakout role.

Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday (Vivi) — Beloved Bridgerton actress Charithra Chandran, who wowed audiences as Edwina Sharma in Season 2, takes on the fan-favourite princess Vivi. Notably, creator Eiichiro Oda personally had a say in her casting — that’s the highest possible seal of approval.
Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0 / Crocodile — The season’s marquee villain casting. Manganiello (True Blood, Magic Mike, Justice League) steps into the role of Baroque Works’ ruthless leader Crocodile. Don’t expect his full power to be unleashed until Season 3, but his presence alone sends a shiver down the spine.

David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3 — The wildly talented character actor behind The Suicide Squad‘s Polka-Dot Man and Late Night with the Devil joins as the wax-wielding Mr. 3. If anyone can make an art-themed villain genuinely terrifying, it’s Dastmalchian.
Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine — Known from HBO’s Warrior and Lioness, Jaslyn embodies the gravity-manipulating Miss Valentine with style. She and her partner Mr. 5 will be a formidable duo facing the Straw Hats early in the season.

Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5 — Luke Cage, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, and The Electric State alumnus Johnson plays the explosive Mr. 5 alongside Jaslyn. Another perfectly matched pairing.
Clive Russell as Crocus — The veteran Scottish actor, beloved as Brynden “The Blackfish” Tully in Game of Thrones, plays the gruff guardian Crocus — the very first person the Straw Hats encounter upon entering the Grand Line.

Callum Kerr as Smoker — British audiences know him from Hollyoaks and Virgin River; The Wheel of Time fans know him as Galad. As Smoker, the white-haired, cigar-chomping Marine captain who uses Logia powers, Kerr brings a great blend of cool and menace.
Julia Rehwald as Tashigi — Smoker’s sharp, justice-driven second-in-command, played by the Fear Street trilogy’s Julia Rehwald. Her connection to Zoro — due to her resemblance to his childhood friend Kuina — promises emotionally charged scenes.

Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha — The iconic Married…With Children and Sons of Anarchy actress brings the eccentric, centuries-defying doctor to life. An inspired choice who adds genuine gravitas to Drum Island’s storyline.
Rob Colletti as Wapol — The Broadway star (School of Rock, The Book of Mormon) transforms into the tyrannical Drum Island king Wapol. Stage training is the perfect prep for One Piece’s theatrically villainous characters.

Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek — The School of Good and Evil lead Caruso takes on the psychic painter of Baroque Works, whose Paramecia powers make her one of the more uniquely dangerous members.
Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra — Best known as Mohinder Suresh in Heroes and Dr. Ramsey Rossa in The Flash, Ramamurthy plays the besieged King of Alabasta, whose kingdom is being torn apart by Baroque Works. Expect a bigger role in Season 3.

Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk — A seasoned TV veteran (Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Grey’s Anatomy), Harelik plays Chopper’s beloved mentor — the eccentric doctor whose sacrifice defines Chopper’s entire motivation to heal others.
Rigo Sanchez as Dragon — Outer Banks and Lucifer actor Sanchez takes on one of the most mysterious and pivotal characters in the entire One Piece universe. His identity and relationship to Luffy make this a casting shrouded in deliberate secrecy.

Ty Keogh as Dalton — The South African actor (Blood Diamond, Homeland, Black Sails) plays Drum Island’s heroic Dalton, the first Zoan Devil Fruit user encountered in the story.
Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9 — Charming and loyal, Mr. 9’s bond with Miss Wednesday leaves a lasting emotional impact. Lasker (Raised by Wolves, Around the World in 80 Days) looks naturally suited to the role.
