Who is the main villain of One Piece Season 2?
So far, the names of the 4 main villains of One Piece Season 2 have been announced, which include
Mr. 5: He is a lower-level officer at Baroque Works. He is an arrogant person with a bad temper and believes that friendship is for the weak, however, he is respectful towards his partner in crime, Miss Valentine. He had eaten the Bomu Bomu no Mi devil fruit that gave him the ability to create explosives from any part of his body without harming himself.
Galdino: also known as Mr. 3, he is an officer at Baroque Works, he works together with Miss Goldenweek. Galdino thinks highly of himself, he is also very artistic and detail-oriented, able to perfectly replicate physical structure and is not afraid to show off. He considers himself a master strategist, using his intellect and complete lack of scruples to complete his plans. He is also somewhat sadistic, as he prefers to kill people after turning them into perfect human sculptures in a long and painful process, rather than killing them outright. He has eaten the Doru Doru no Mi devil fruit, which allows him to manipulate wax, which when solidified becomes as strong as steel.
Mikita – Also known as Miss Valentine, she is an officer of Baroque Works. She is one of the main antagonists of the Little Garden arc. She is overconfident and does not take her opponent seriously. She generally allows her partner Mr. 5 to do the talking when necessary. She had eaten the Kiro Kiro no Mi devil fruit, which allowed her to manipulate her body weight to her will, becoming light as a feather while falling from the sky and flying with the help of an umbrella or becoming heavy like an elephant to crush her enemy.
Buggy – Famously known as Buggy The Clown, he is the captain of the Buggy Pirates, whose members look like circus performers. However, few people knew that he was an intern of Red Head Shanks on the ship of Pirate King Gold .D Roger. He was one of the first enemies of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, whose actions eventually got him entangled in the Marineford Summit War. Buggy is not a complete antagonist character, always switching sides depending on this comedic analysis of the situation.
Buggy is vain, and selfish, and seeks to be glorified and feared by others. He doesn’t spend much time improving his own skills to become a powerful fighter, instead focusing primarily on recruiting powerful subordinates to do the hard work while also being subject to him. He had eaten the Bara Bara no Mi devil fruit that allowed him to dissect his body and put it back together at will.
Will Crocodile be in One Piece Season 2?
The Netflix series will condense the stories of One Piece Season 2, making the appearance of Crocodile inevitable. Luffy’s battle with Crocodile was a pivotal moment in the series. There are compelling reasons to believe that Crocodile will make an appearance in the upcoming season.
The announcement of One Piece Season 2 on Netflix about the cast and characters like Ms Wednesday, Mr. 5, Mr. 9, Mr. 3, and Miss Valentine indicates that Season 2 will revolve around Alabasta and the Baroque Works crime syndicate which is run by Crocodile, so it is obvious that Crocodile will soon appear in the series as the main villain.
Other new cast members that we will see in One Piece Season 2 are:
Aside from the return of Godoy as Luffy, in One Piece Season 2 will see the return of Emily Rudd as Nami, Mckenyu as Zoro, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Jacob Romero as Usopp.
Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Camrus Johnson as Mr.5, David Dastmalchian as Mr.3, Ty Keogh as Dalton, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Daniel Lasker as Mr.9, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Werner Coestser as Dorry, Clive Russel as Crocus, and Brendon Murry as Buggy
