Plot: “Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line — a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”
Season 2 of One Piece was Great.
Pros: It was great seeing this crew going off wacky adventures together. The crew act like a true team. They still did a good job developing this world to everyone who is not familiar with anything One Piece. It did institute a lot of new characters & plot lines that worked for me. The humor was fun and at times utterly bonkers. I like the action & the set designs a lot. There were changes that I was fine with, and it was easy to just roll with what’s going on this season.
Cons: Somethings were not that well attracted. It does value me too much at once & it can rush through a lot.
