Summary
Netflix’s majorOne Piecelive-action update means that season 3 is now way more likely.One Pieceseason 2was confirmed on August 10, 2025, when Netflix released a video in which Eiichiro Oda teased the arrival of live-action Tony Tony Chopper. Now, Oda has confirmed which arcs will be covered in the next season of the live-action series. As expected,One Pieceseason 2 will start with Loguetown, which is technically part of the East Blue saga but was left out of season 1. Then, the series will properly enter the Grand Line with Reverse Mountain.
Oda’s message toOne Piecelive-action fans also mentions Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island, all of which are part of the Arabasta saga in the manga. However, one noticeable omission was the Arabasta arc, which refers to the final portion of the Arabasta saga. Drum Island ends with Chopper joining the Straw Hat pirates, with the crew heading to the Kingdom of Arabasta to help Princess Vivi save her country from Crocodile andthe Baroque Worksamidst a revolution. Whilenot getting Arabasta in season 2 can be frustrating, this suggestsOne Piecehas a bright future on Netflix.

Oda’s One Piece Season 2 Update Makes Netflix’s Season 3 Way More Likely
One Piece Live-Action Is Saving Arabasta For A Potential Season 3
The fact thatOne Piecelive-actionhas chosen not to cover Arabasta in season 2 indicates that the producers and Netflix are confident in the show’s future. Leaving such a major arc out of the second season means thatOne Pieceis setting the stage for an even bigger season 3 that would cover the war for Arabasta.One Pieceseason 3 is not confirmed as of the writing of this article, but it’s unlikely Netflix would be comfortable revealing this far ahead that Arabasta won’t happen in season 2 if conversations for another season weren’t happening.

The decision to save Arabasta for a potential third season is surprising, particularly becauseOne Pieceseason 1 covered all of East Blue. Whilethe Arabasta saga is longer than East Blue, many assumed that season 2 would compress all of the arcs into eight episodes just like the first season had done. However, with season 2 stopping at Drum Island, it is clear thatOne Piecewants to take its time and let the Arabasta portion of the story shine in its season. Whether season 3 would also include Sky Island is difficult to say.
East Blue has 61 episodes in the anime, whereas Arabasta has 74.
One Piece Live-Action Should Have A Bright Future After Season 1’s Success
One Piece Season 1 Was A Big Hit For Netflix In 2023
One Piecewas Netflix’s most-watched TV show in the second half of 2023, which is impressive given Hollywood’s not-so-positive track of live-action anime adaptations. It’s rare for an adaptation to please fans of the source material while appealing to new viewers, makingOne Pieceseason 1’s success even more impressive. Therefore,One Piecehas the potential to be one of Netflix’s biggest shows for years to come, even more so if season 2 is as successful as the first season. Saving Arabasta for season 3 is risky, but it might pay off.
