German actor David Schütter has been seen on Joe Manganiello’s Instagram with other One Piece actors, including fellow German actor Lera Abova. Recently, he was also seen in one of Emilio Sakraya’s Instagram posts. Emilio is another German actor rumored to play >!Koza!< and based on recent posts is currently in South Africa. This means David has been spending a lot of time in South Africa. Is he part of the cast, or is he spending time there with his actor friends? Is he dating Lera? Some people have speculated that he might play >!Koza!< but that role seems more likely to be played by Emilio. If he’s in the show who could he play?

EDIT: I think he could be a great >!Sabo!<

Do you think they're going to lean more into a romantic undertone for Vivi and Koza in season 3, like they did with Usopp and Kaya in season 1? I could see Netflix pushing that narrative, and maybe it could happen since one of them is not a Straw Hat. I'm not saying they should turn it into a romantic subplot (which would probably hurt the overall story), but add just enough to enhance the story and potentially make Koza a more memorable and interesting character.

And while we're at it, another pair they could hint at is Smoker and Hina (if Hina is in season 3).
