A short video is meant to celebrate the birthday of Monkey D. Luffy, but fans believe it contains information about the second season of the Netflix series.
A short video on TikTok shows Iñaki Godoy, the actor of Monkey D. Luffy, celebrating the birthday of his character on May 5. To celebrate the day, he presents a cake that looks like a giant white candle. The number 3 is sticking out of the candle as the “wick”.
By the way, the anime has also received a new intro along with the Egghead Arc in January:
What could the video mean? What at first glance seems to be a simple heartfelt video celebrating the birthday of the pirate captain, now leads fans to speculate about the second season of the Netflix series.
The focus of the speculation is the cake with the number 3 from the video. Fans believe that this has something to do with a storyline from the manga, specifically with a certain character. “Mister 3 is coming woaaah,” writes a user in a comment under the video. Other fans also claim to have recognized the reference to the character.
Mister 3 is an antagonist from the manga and anime who styles his hair into a 3. Since he has eaten the Wax Fruit, he can not only create unlimited amounts of wax but also turn living people into wax figures. This could be another reference to the wax-like cake.
“If Mister 3 appears in the upcoming live-action episodes, it probably means that we will also see Chopper, Bon Kurei, Robin, and Crocodile,” another user notes.
What does this mean for the second season? For the next season of the Netflix series, this would mean that the story will next focus on Alabasta. During this storyline, the Straw Hat crew must face off against the members of the Baroque Works. All of them are named after numbers, including Mister 3.
Even in the first season, this organization was mentioned, and Zoro has already dealt with one of the members – Mister 7. Along with Godoy’s closing words: “They will lose their minds,” this video suggests a lot that the second season will follow Alabasta. To properly implement this storyline, the makers should pay special attention to a few scenes: 8 important scenes in One Piece season 2 that Netflix absolutely must get right
