Although the release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, Season 3 was confirmed in August last year, with a trailer revealed during One Piece Day. This implies that the upcoming season won’t take long before its premiere. Since Season 3 took longer than expected, filming for Season 3 was going on along with it. The second season adapts the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Garden Arcs. Season 3 is expected to fully adapt the Alabasta Arc, where the Straw Hat Pirates will encounter Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The crew is on its way to a desert island to challenge one of the most powerful pirates in the Grand Line. It will be far more intense than the previous seasons and full of adventure as the crew will navigate through the dangers of the treacherous sea and make allies along the way. Season 2 finale already sets up the Alabasta Arc as it ends on a major cliffhanger where Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, plans his next step while the Straw Hat Pirates make their way towards Alabasta.

In order to save Viviโ€™s kingdom, the crew has to face their most powerful enemy yet. Additionally, the third season will also introduce more members from the Baroque Works, as well as reveal Crocodileโ€™s true goal and the reason he needs Nico Robin’s assistance. Robin is already one of the most beloved characters among anime and manga fans, and her introduction in the live-action has been well-received. Introduced as Crocodile’s right-hand, she will play a much more significant role in the upcoming season.
