Also it's interesting to note that this translation misses something major. When he is saying "what is One Piece" the actual translation is "more importantly it's about time I start figuring out what the ONE PIECE actually is! This going to keep me quite busy, I'll have you know. <---(sounds severe but NBD)"Oda's official message on his break:
Definitely sounds like Oda is gearing up for the endgame, which is mindboggling! But it makes sense given how the story has developed so far.more importantly it's about time I start figuring out what the ONE PIECE actually is!
Jump in general is much better with scheduling nowadays. Other big series like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia have a similar break schedule to One Piece. Though it's probably still not enough - Horikoshi constantly sounds like he's dying. But at least there's been huge progress made on this front
Quoting myself from last year because they finally finished Water Seven and released the first episode of Arabasta in a while. 5 Arabasta eps left, after that they got a big chunk of Skypiea to do: 34 episodes cut into ~15.I was completely wrong about One Pace versions of Arabasta being done this year. For some reason they're releasing Skypiea and Water 7 despite still missing ~6 eps of Arabasta.
An additional showrunner? Why?

There's also been numerous hints pointing to the rising sea levels, some of the most dramatic being the worsening Aqua Lagunas at Water Seven, and a huge chunk of Wano Kingdom submerged. And to think Vegapunk has just gotten started on his spiel.Everything is coming together!
Old Wano's only submerged because the walls around it trapped rainwater. Iceburg though, now there's a big brain forward thinkerThere's also been numerous hints pointing to the rising sea levels, some of the most dramatic being the worsening Aqua Lagunas at Water Seven, and a huge chunk of Wano Kingdom submerged.

Oof, my bad, I completely forgot about that!Old Wano's only submerged because the walls around it trapped rainwater. Iceburg though, now there's a big brain forward thinker
Don't forget Arabasta hinted at this all the way back, The sea has been slowly overtaking the freshwater river.There's also been numerous hints pointing to the rising sea levels, some of the most dramatic being the worsening Aqua Lagunas at Water Seven, and a huge chunk of Wano Kingdom submerged.

Yeah, I was one of those people that thought they'd probably cut/streamline Little Garden to have more room for the Baroque works and Drum Island stuff. But you're right, they could still have those elements appear elsewhere.Not that I personally had any doubt, but a lot of people were theorizing that they'd cut out some of the smaller stories, such as Little Garden. Uh I guess they could still cut out the island itself and put Mr. 3 and the giants somewhere else, but you know what I mean lol
I don't see why Alabasta shouldn't be able to comfortably get half a season to itself. East Blue was 100 chapters covered in eight episodes. The entire Baroque Works saga, off the top of my head, was just a bit over 100 chapters itself too right? I think it ended around chapter 215-ish? Stretching everything before Alabasta proper to an entire season would be painful. If they find they want more room for Alabasta, they can easily condense other stuff. Laboon and Whiskey Peak will almost assuredly be a single combined episode, for exampleI kinde hope it ends with Luffy beating up Wapol/Chopper joining. Alabasta really could use a full season or at least like half of it.
Not the East Blue we covered, don't forget we have Loguetown to get to. That being in the awkward spot it is, is what throws this all off.I don't see why Alabasta shouldn't be able to comfortably get half a season to itself.

Oh right I almost forgot they didn't cover Loguetown lol. I think it should still be fine if they can get ten episodes though, can't imagine Loguetown getting more than one. But if they only get eight they could still make it work by streamlining other things like they did Baratie. I would've said Little Garden originally, but since they're teasing it... Whiskey Peak is probably the most expendable, should they need to make hard choicesNot the East Blue we covered, don't forget we have Loguetown to get to.

Thanks to recent casting calls, seven new characters have been revealed to appear in the highly anticipated second season of the live-action One Piece series. None should be too surprising to long-term fans of the source material, but these are in addition to the previously announced new characters: Tony Tony Chopper and Smoker.
Casting calls have been underway throughout the first half of the year as the team behind the show gears up for production on season 2 over the summer. We recently learned that filming is scheduled to get underway in June, with the second season going by the codename of Project Renaissance.
