Release: When does Season 2 of One Piece start?
It’s finally official: the Straw Hat Pirates will set sail again for season 2 on March 10, 2026. That’s still a while away, but you’ll be able to watch all the new episodes in one go, as Netflix will be releasing the entire season at once.
Episodes: How many new episodes will there be in season 2 of One Piece?
The number and (English) names of the episodes are now known. The titles already reveal that the big Alabasta Arc is being prepared for the third season. You can look forward to a total of eight new episodes:
- Episode 1: The Beginning of the End
- Episode 2: Good Whale Hunting
- Episode 3: Whiskey Business
- Episode 4: Big Trouble in Little Garden
- Episode 5: Wax on, Wax Off
- Episode 6:
Nami Deerest
- Episode 7: Reindeer Shames
- Episode 8: Deer and Loathing in Drum Kingdom
Story: These arcs can be expected in Season 2
Season 1 mainly covered the East Blue Saga, in which Luffy recruits most of his pirate crew. The season culminated in Arlong Park, where Nami’s backstory was revealed to us. Attentive One Piece fans immediately noticed that the East Blue Saga is not yet complete. This is where Season 2 picks up.
Spoiler alert! One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda shared on X/Twitter which islands will be visited in Season 2 (and which will not):
‘ONE PIECE’ Season 2 will feature Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island.

Loguetown: In season 2, our Straw Hat crew finds themselves in the last town before the Grand Line. But this is not just any town—it is the birthplace and execution site of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, whom we know from both the legendary anime intro and the prologue of the Netflix series.

Whiskey Peak: In the only town on Cactus Island, our heroes experience a thrilling adventure that brings them into contact with the Baroque Works for the first time. This is also where the Alabasta Saga is set in motion.
Little Garden: This island is a paradise for dinosaur fans, as it is inhabited by giant creatures. These include the giants Boogey and Woogey. You can get a first glimpse of them in the newly released posters:

Drum Island: Last but not least, the crew arrives on Drum Island. There, fan favorite Tony Tony Chopper is introduced, who lives on the island with his mentor Dr. Kureha. Luffy’s brother Monkey D. Ace will also make his first appearance here.
Netflix has already given us our first glimpse of Drum Island!
As you’ve probably noticed, we’ll have to wait a little longer for the Alabasta arc. The stories surrounding the Straw Hat Pirates are simply too diverse to cover everything in just a few episodes. But a third season was already announced at the end of the first trailer. Presumably, it will also take us to Alabasta.
