Netflix’s live-action One Piece series is gearing up for the premiere of its second season with a litany of cast announcements, including who will be playing Monkey D. Dragon, the father of Iñaki Godoy’s Straw Hat Luffy. Actor Rigo Sanchez is set to play Dragon, Yonda Thomas will voice Igaram, the captain of the Arabasta royal guard, and James Hiroyuki Liao will play Ipponmatsu, an arms shop owner in Loguetown. The official One Piece social media handle made the announcement via X.

Dragon is not only Luffy’s father, but the leader of the Revolutionary Army, whose sole purpose is to take down the World Government. Meanwhile, Igaram serves as Vivi’s (played by Charithra Chandran) trusted ally throughout the Whiskey Peak and Alabasta arc that season 2 is set to explore. Lastly, Ipponmatsu is the weapons dealer that Zoro gets his Sandai Kitetsu, a powerful sword that is claimed to be cursed.
