The scale, stakes, and emotional depth are about to skyrocket. With new islands, legendary characters, and story arcs that fans have been waiting years to see in live-action, Season 2 promises to deliver some of the most iconic moments from the One Piece saga.
Here’s a breakdown of the arcs confirmed in the first-look teaser:

Season 2 kicks off with one of the most thrilling arcs for One Piece fans — Loguetown. The trailer teases Smoker with his iconic two cigars, looking both dangerous and oddly charismatic. And yes, we also get a glimpse of the mysterious Revolutionary Dragon — Luffy’s father — whose sudden appearance will change everything.
If you’ve read the manga or watched the anime, you already know this arc is loaded with legendary moments:
- Smoker’s live-action debut, rocking his two signature cigars and a fierce yet almost comical presence.
- The revolutionary Dragon’s first appearance, swooping in to save Luffy from Smoker.
- Luffy searching for the execution platform where Roger died — a scene that promises goosebumps.
- Usopp’s duel with Daddy Masterson, showcasing his sharpshooting skills.
- A touching bar scene where an old man sees a reflection of Roger in Luffy.
- The intense moment when Buggy tries to execute Luffy, only for Luffy to shout: “I am the man who will become King of the Pirates!” in front of the world
If Netflix adapts all of this faithfully, Loguetown could be a goosebumps-heavy opener for the Grand Line journey.
2. Reverse Mountain – Gateway to the Grand Line

Before entering the Grand Line, the Straw Hat crew takes a moment to recall their dreams — a scene bound to give fans nostalgia chills. But things quickly escalate with the arrival of Laboon, the giant whale whose fate is tied to the Pirate King’s doctor, Crocus.
The trailer hints at Laboon’s emotional connection with the crew, including the hilarious and heartfelt moment where Luffy punches Laboon in the eye to keep a promise.
Fans can expect:
- Laboon’s introduction, the giant whale guarding the Grand Line entrance.
- The comedic yet emotional moment when Luffy punches Laboon in the eye.
- The debut of Crocus, the Pirate King’s former doctor.
- First appearance of Princess Vivi under her Baroque Works alias, Miss Wednesday.
- Crocus hinting that Roger may have been waiting for a pirate like Luffy.
If done right, Laboon’s CGI and the ocean visuals here could rival the most expensive Netflix productions.

From the moment the Straw Hats step foot on Little Garden, danger and wonder go hand in hand. This prehistoric island is home to Brogy and Dorry, two giant warriors locked in a century-long duel. The live-action challenge? Bringing these massive, larger-than-life characters to the screen while keeping their warmth and honor intact.
Fans can expect:
- Brogy and Dorry’s epic yet comical fights.
- The heartwarming friendship between the giants and the Straw Hats.
- The tense arrival of Mr. 3 from Baroque Works, whose Wax-Wax Fruit powers trap Zoro, Nami, and Vivi in a deadly situation.
- Luffy’s unpredictable, hilarious strategy to outwit Mr. 3.
If Netflix nails the scale of the giants and the creativity of Mr. 3’s wax traps, this arc could be a visual standout for Season 2.
5. Drum Island – A Doctor’s Farewell and a Reindeer’s Dream

Drum Island introduces one of the most beloved characters in the One Piece world — Tony Tony Chopper. But the road to meeting him isn’t easy. The arc features snowy landscapes, political tension, and emotional highs that could easily become the emotional core of Season 2.
Key moments to watch out for:
- Luffy and Sanji racing across the snow to save Nami, who’s gravely ill.
- The introduction of the quirky yet wise Dr. Kureha.
- Luffy carrying Nami up a frozen cliff, a scene that’s both tense and heartwarming.

- Wapol’s defeat, showcasing the crew’s growing strength.
- The breathtaking Cherry Blossom scene — Chopper’s tearful farewell to Drum Island, set against a snowy sky turned pink, with a background score that could make fans cry all over again.
If the production team gets the snow effects, Chopper’s CGI, and that final scene right, Drum Island could easily rival the emotional beats of Season 1’s Arlong Park arc.
