However, fans noticed the absence of characters such as Chopper, Wapol, and Kureha, which indicates that these appearances could be revealed in later stages of production.
Journey to Arabasta and creative changes
The plot will take the Straw Hat crew to Arabasta, one of the most iconic arcs of the work. The journey will include exotic islands, confrontations, and passage through the legendary strait.
The season is expected to conclude on Drum Island, although no concrete details have been provided. A significant change will be the direction by Ian Stokes and Joe Tracz, who will replace the original showrunners. This modification generates anticipation, but also questions about the tone and fidelity of the series.

International production in South Africa
Filming will take place again in Cape Town, South Africa, reaffirming its role as a hub for global productions. Netflix thus seeks to enhance the international reach of the series and satisfy a broad and demanding audience.
The premiere could be delayed until 2026, due to the magnitude of the production and the pursuit of a high-quality visual finish. With the success of the first season as support, One Piece Live Action aims to establish itself as one of the most ambitious anime television adaptations worldwide.
