All of it is determined by Netflix and different companions hungering for extra, however she referred to as Owens “creatively ready” to maintain One Piece going for some time.
As for after we’ll see season two, Clements stated they’re a “very long time out.” Manufacturing will proceed by way of December, and it is a “VFX-heavy 12 months” in leisure.
