The Straw Hat Pirates are back with another adventure!

The hype rises once again as the live-action series One Piece returns for another season.

Not only fans but also the cast themselves have expressed excitement about the show's comeback.

In an interview with Lyn Ching, several cast members shared their joy about reuniting on set for another adventure.

Emily Rudd, who plays Nami, said she enjoyed being with her co-stars.

"They're the best," she said. "I cannot ask to be surrounded by better people. They really aren't better people out there than my boys... (and) They're handsome. "

Meanwhile, Taz Skylar addressed the people who still have doubts about the series and the castings.

"I love it when people doubt me and I can kind of sit there and like, watch, give me a second and watch. I enjoyed that. That's really fun for me," he said.

The actor admitted there are still doubts from some viewers, but he sees them as motivation to improve.

"Even though the fans are with us and believe in us, there's a whole level of, like, I want this show to be remembered 10 years from now," he shared.

"I think that's like the larger 'joint enemy' that we have, leaving a legacy."

Netflix's One Piece is the live-action adaptation of the legendary manga and anime created by Eiichiro Oda.

The upcoming season continues the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates, encountering new enemies and future crewmates along the way.

The cast also includes Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero, and many more.
