One Piece Season 2 Release: The live-action One Piece Season 2 is edging closer, and key details are already clear. Fans now know the expected episode count, the broad story arcs, rumoured titles, and a target premiere window. Netflix’s first season covered the East Blue Saga, and Season 2 now moves deep into the Grand Line, setting up the major Arabasta story for future episodes.
As with Season 1, Netflix’s live-action One Piece Season 2 is expected to have eight episodes. The platform has not formally posted the release date in its usual way. However, official materials and later clarification state that the season is slated to debut on 10 March 2026, with all eight episodes planned to stream on the same day.
One Piece live-action Season 2 episode count and Arabasta saga plans
The new season will adapt the next phase of Eiichiro Oda’s story after Arlong Park. Season 2 will reportedly cover the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whisky Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs in order. The Arabasta arc itself will not appear in full yet. Oda confirmed that Arabasta is being held back for One Piece Season 3, which has already entered production.
The structure mirrors Season 1, which handled five East Blue arcs from Romance Dawn through Arlong Park. This time, the crew’s journey into the Grand Line becomes the focus, from the last stop before entry to the snowy kingdom of Drum. Viewers will see how the Straw Hat Pirates gradually move towards the conflict in the Arabasta Kingdom.
One Piece live-action Season 2 titles and episode list
A set of eight rumoured episode titles surfaced online ahead of the launch. Netflix has not confirmed that these are the final titles used on the platform. Reports suggest they were created during production and may still change. Each one riffs on a well-known Hollywood film, which has drawn attention among both anime fans and new viewers.
Sources also claim that every episode of One Piece Season 2 will land together on 10 March 2026. Even so, Netflix has not publicly commented on the titles themselves. Fans are therefore treating the list as provisional. Many still expect the general structure to stay close to the leaked order shown below.

One Piece live-action Season 2 plot overview and key arcs
Although Season 2 is not yet streaming, the manga and anime already map out its storyline. The new episodes will span from the Straw Hat Pirates’ last stop in Loguetown to the end of the Drum Island arc. Across these eight episodes, the crew will confront the Marines, encounter Baroque Works, meet giants, and finally recruit a doctor for the voyage ahead.
The shift from East Blue to the Grand Line raises the stakes around the crew. The Loguetown portion shows the weight of Gol D. Roger’s legacy. Reverse Mountain introduces the strange, dangerous conditions of the Grand Line. Baroque Works then move from background threat to direct foe. By Drum Island, the pirates are facing royal power and harsh weather together.
One Piece live-action Season 2 episode-by-episode story breakdown
Episode 1, “The Beginning of the End”, revisits an event that many expected in Season 1. Before entering the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates reach the town where the Marines executed the Pirate King. Their visit draws the attention of Marine Captain Smoker and Tashigi. The crew must navigate this dangerous port and somehow escape to continue their journey.
In Episode 2, “Good Whale Hunting”, the Going Merry finally crosses Reverse Mountain and sails into the Grand Line. Here, the Straw Hats encounter Laboon, a gigantic whale that guards the sea entrance. The crew’s first steps in this new region also bring them into direct contact with Baroque Works agents, who are hunting Laboon for their own purposes.
Episode 3, titled “Whiskey Business”, takes the Straw Hat Pirates from Laboon’s waters to Cactus Island. There, Baroque Works agents they met earlier guide them to the town of Whisky Peak. The settlement appears cheerful and welcoming when the pirates arrive. However, the mood soon shifts as the crew discover the town’s true allegiance and the danger waiting overnight.
Episode 4, “Big Trouble in Little Garden”, moves the action to a prehistoric island. Following events at Whisky Peak, the Straw Hats reach Little Garden, where dinosaurs and ancient creatures still roam. On this island, they meet two important giant warriors, Dorry and Brogy. Their duel has lasted for over one hundred years, and the crew becomes drawn into their long-running conflict.
The second half of the Little Garden storyline unfolds in Episode 5, “Wax On, Wax Off”. More Baroque Works agents arrive on the island, forcing a direct clash with the Straw Hat Pirates. Mr. 3, also known as Galdino, shows the full extent of a wax-based Devil Fruit ability. The episode focuses on tactical battles and the crew’s attempts to outwit Baroque Works.
Episode 6, named “Nami Deerest”, shifts the setting to the wintery Drum Island. After resolving matters on Little Garden, the Straw Hat Pirates urgently seek a doctor for the crew. Their search leads them to this remote, snowbound kingdom. This first Drum Island episode covers their arrival, the harsh political climate, and the start of a quest to locate medical help.
In Episode 7, “Reindeer Shames”, the spotlight falls on Tony Tony Chopper, who has already been confirmed for Season 2. This chapter reveals how Chopper came to be a human-reindeer hybrid and explores Chopper’s emotional history on Drum Island. The episode is expected to adapt the core flashback sequence from the manga, highlighting Chopper’s relationships and motivations.
Episode 8, “Deer and Loathing in Drum Kingdom”, brings the Drum Island arc to its climax. After Chopper’s past is shown, the Straw Hat Pirates must confront Wapol, the previous ruler of Drum. Wapol acts as the main antagonist for this arc. The crew’s victory clears the way for their departure from Drum Island and sets them sailing towards the Arabasta Kingdom.
