What Fans Can Expect From One Piece Season 3
The third installment of One Piece continues to adapt the live-action version of Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga franchise. This time, One Piece season 3 takes on new wind in its sails in One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta, which is slated for a 2027 release date.
The Alabasta Arc will follow Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew venturing into the desert kingdom of Alabasta, the homeland of Princess Vivi.
As per the official logline: "A rebellion threatens to tear the nation apart, fueled in secret by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruthless Sir Crocodile, and his underground syndicate Baroque Works, who seek to conquer Alabasta for themselves. In a season defined by unbreakable bonds and impossible choices, the Straw Hats must face a brewing civil war and a powerful warlord to save Vivi's kingdom before it crumbles into the sand."
Co-showrunners Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes happen to personally adore the Alabasta Arc as "one of our personal favorite arcs", and it fits right into what they wish for season 3, considering "season 3 builds on everything we've done before to tell a war story that's epic and emotional, spectacular and surprising. We can't wait for fans to join us in Alabasta, where the stakes are high... and the ducks are big."

While fans await the return of our favorite Straw Hat crew, they won't be missing them much and their adventures, since One Piece is planning a crossover episode through a two-part animated Lego special on Netflix! You can watch the One Piece x Lego crossover trailer below:
The Lego special will retell the events of One Piece's first two seasons through comedy and action and is set to premiere on September 29, 2026. The streamer even put out a sneak peek at "The One Piece", the upcoming anime series from WIT Studio that plans to reimagine the East Blue saga.
For now, fans will have to wait until One Piece season 3 sets sail on the small screens sometime in 2027. Stay tuned for more updates on this story!
