One Piece showrunner Matt Owens has some promising updates on season 2: he revealed that the writers' room is currently hard at work, and there’s a major theme that will be explored in the second installment.

Owens also had some hints about what the second season has in store, particularly for Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy). “Without saying too much, and speaking to any new characters that we might meet, I would say a major theme that we’re working with in season 2 is the challenge of leadership,” he said. “From Luffy’s perspective, he’s got his crew now, and they are setting out to the Grand Line. They’re doing the thing, and there are a lot of challenges that come with that responsibility. And that theme ties into some other stories and characters that I won’t give away just yet. But the challenge and leadership is a big theme for us in season 2.”
