ONE PIECE Season 3 Casts Xolo Maridueña as ACE (!!!)

by

Exciting news for fans of One Piece! Xolo Maridueña, known for his role in Blue Beetle, has been cast as the incredibly popular character Portgas D. Ace in season three of the Netflix series. This casting choice is a dream come true for many fans who have long hoped to see Maridueña take on the role. Ace is a fan favorite, and his story is full of emotional highs and lows. Netflix has made a brilliant decision with this casting!

Xolo Maridueña Will Play Portgas D. Ace in Netflix’s Live-Action One Piece Season 3

Xolo Maridueña, known for playing the Blue Beetle, is joining the cast of One Piece! He’ll be playing Portgas D. Ace in the show’s third season. This casting officially confirms that season three will cover the Alabasta arc, a major storyline where Ace is a key character. Fans have been hoping he’d land this role for a while, and their predictions have come true!

Xolo Maridueña was already known for his role in the Netflix show Cobra Kai, which helped him transition smoothly into this new project. Recently, Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy in One Piece, visited the set and even had a practice fight with Maridueña.

Who Is Xolo Maridueña’s Portgas D. Ace in One Piece‘s World

If you want to avoid spoilers, now’s the time to look away! Xolo Maridueña plays Ace, who is essentially Luffy’s older brother in the world of One Piece. They aren’t related by blood, but they became brothers as kids, and that bond is incredibly strong – even stronger than family by blood in One Piece. The idea of ‘found family’ is a major theme, and Luffy and Ace’s relationship perfectly embodies that. Plus, Luffy’s grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, took Ace in when he was young, further solidifying their brotherly connection. So, while they don’t share parents, Ace is very much Luffy’s brother.

Aside from being Luffy’s brother, Ace was a remarkably skilled pirate with a famous family history. He earned the nickname “Fire Fist” because he could control fire, even transforming his body into flames. He gained this ability by eating the Mera Mera no Mi, a powerful Devil Fruit that gives its user fire-based powers.

We’re excited to see Xolo Maridueña as Ace unleash incredible powers in the third season of the live-action One Piece on Netflix. We’re also looking forward to seeing him share a scene with Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy.
