Subscribers to FUNimation.com’s premium service have had exclusive access to One Piece Season 6: Third Voyage, and have been the first to report the English dub voice for the Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma. Joel McDonald is known for his role as Meow in Space Dandy, Jacuzzi Splot in Baccano, and he is the current ADR Director for One Piece. Joel joins fellow actors Chris Guerrero (Gecko Moria), Robert McCollum (Donquixote Doflamingo), John Swasey (Sir Crocodile), John Gremillion (Dracule Mihawk) as a Warlord voice actor. When reached for comment, Joel McDonald said:

Thanks! I’m just grateful to Mike for thinking of me and so proud to be a part of it. Hope it doesn’t suck.

We have Joel McDonald (and Ian Sinclair) on next week’s podcast where we won’t be talking about this news at all because it was recorded around a month and a half ago. However, it’s still an insightful and fun interview, and we hope you give it a listen on Monday!
