Warning: Major One Piece Season 2 spoilers ahead. Read with caution.
After more than a year of waiting, Netflix has finally dropped its live-action adaptation of One Piece Season 2. As expected, Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and the rest of the Straw Hat crew continue their adventure into the Grand Line in search of the One Piece.
But as they encounter Baroque Works, they face even more sinister enemies who possess Devil Fruit powers. However, that conflict isn’t even the climax of the second season yet; the finale delivers a major reveal that sets up One Piece Season 3.
How Did One Piece Season 2 End?
The One Piece Season 2 finale featured a surprising twist with a major reveal about Mr. and Miss All Sunday’s true identities.
The Baroque Works boss was unmasked as the deadly pirate Sir Crocodile (Joe Manganiello), whose bounty had been mysteriously canceled by the World Government.
Although Baroque Works suffered significant losses in Season 2, Crocodile remained unfazed, already plotting his next moves.
The finale also revealed that Miss All Sunday was actually Nico Robin (Lera Abova), who carried a massive 79 million Berry bounty on her head.
As the war in Alabasta looms in One Piece Season 3, Crocodile has big plans underway, while the Straw Hats make their way toward the fateful country.
What to Expect from One Piece Season 3?
Just before One Piece Season 2 premiered, the show received an early Season 3 renewal. In fact, the third installment is now in production, with the Straw Hats returning to South Africa for filming.
The upcoming season will cover the highly anticipated Alabasta Arc, focusing on the Straw Hats’ journey to the Alabasta Kingdom. This saga represents the crew’s first real test upon entering the Grand Line.
Season 2 had already dropped several teases of what fans could expect from the region. Vivi (Charithra Chandran) was hiding from Baroque Works to conceal the fact that she was a princess who had escaped Alabasta.
However, during the Reverie meeting between all the countries, it was revealed that Vivi’s father was setting up major trouble for the kingdom.
In the upcoming season, fans will see the Straw Hats helping Vivi save her desert kingdom from the civil war orchestrated by Crocodile, all while navigating the challenges of the Grand Line.
Luffy will bravely fight the Warlord of the Sea three times, while his crew confronts the rest of Baroque Works to stop the war.
Truly, it will be another epic adventure for Luffy and the rest of his crew when One Piece Season 3 drops, expected either in late 2027 or early 2028.
