‘One Piece’ Showrunner Teases That Smoking Mid-Credits Scene Character and Season 2 Plans

“One Piece” lodged two cannonballs at its viewers in its first season, one coming halfway through the pirate manga TV adaptation, and the other at the very end.

But Maeda says he and Owens didn’t make that choice — which came with Oda’s blessing, as did all the other differences between the TV series and the manga — just for the shock factor. He wanted it to be the surprise answer that explained why Garp, “this hardcore Marine” has been “chasing after this kid.”

The second surprise comes in the season finale after we say goodbye to Luffy and his assembled Straw Hat Pirates — Nami , Zoro , Sanji and Usopp — as they finally set a clear course for the great Blue Sea’s “Grand Line,” the rumored location of the “one piece” treasure of executed Pirate King Gold Roger . A mid-credits scene then shows the back of a mysterious figure with white hair, who is smoking two cigars at once, one of which he uses to burn the image of Luffy’s face on his bounty poster.
