Since the second season won't fully cover the Alabasta arc, expect Sendhil to make brief appearances in the upcoming season as King Cobra. That's the incredible news for One Piece live-action fans for today. We'll get another announcement tomorrow, possibly about the actor who will play Chopper in the live-action adaptation.
