Meet the New Cast Members of One Piece
Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek
Miss Goldenweek, a member of the infamous Baroque Works, possesses a unique ability to manipulate people using her painting-based powers. As the loyal assistant to Mister 3 (played by David Dastmalchian), her character adds depth and creativity to the story.
Sophia Anne Caruso, known for her role as Sophie in The School for Good and Evil, brings both charisma and experience to this role. Her previous work on Netflix projects makes her a familiar face for the platform’s audience, ensuring fans can expect a dynamic portrayal of Miss Goldenweek.
Mark Penwill as Chess
Chess, the Defense Minister of Drum Island and one of Wapol’s most loyal followers, is an intriguing character. Recognizable by his perpetually sorrowful expression, Chess hides a streak of cruelty, often targeting anyone who opposes his leader, including innocent civilians.
Mark Penwill, though not a household name, has appeared in various TV series and is known for his ability to convey complex and layered characters. His portrayal of Chess is expected to highlight the archer’s unwavering loyalty and cunning nature.
Anton David Jeftha as Kuromarimo (K.M.)
Kuromarimo, or K.M., serves as a devoted magistrate under Wapol’s command. His character is notable for his self-centered personality, immense physical strength, and the quirky ability to weaponize afro hairballs against his enemies.
Anton David Jeftha, another talented addition to the cast, has also made appearances in several TV shows. While he may not yet be widely recognized, his dynamic acting style promises to bring Kuromarimo’s eccentric personality to life on screen.
A Fusion of Characters: Chessmarimo
One of the most intriguing aspects of these new additions is the eventual fusion of Chess and Kuromarimo into the character Chessmarimo. This transformation adds a unique twist to the storyline, and fans are eager to see how the series will visually and narratively adapt this event.
