What happens

One Piece (stylized in all caps) is a fantasy adventure television series developed by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda for Netflix. The series is a live-action adaptation of the 1997 Japanese manga series One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, who also serves as a creative consultant. It is produced by Kaji Productions and Shueisha, the manga's publisher. The series stars Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero Gibson, Taz Skylar, and Mikaela Hoover as the Straw Hat Pirates. One Piece received a straight-to-series order in January 2020, and filming occurred between January and August 2022. The first season was released in its entirety on Netflix on August 31, 2023. Two weeks after its release, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, with scripts completed by September 2023, though filming was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strike. The season, titled Into the Grand Line, was later filmed between June and December 2024, and it was released on March 10, 2026. In August 2025, Netflix renewed the series for a third season, which went into production in November 2025, ahead of the second season's premiere. The season, titled The Battle of Alabasta, is expected to premiere in 2027. The series has received positive reviews from critics and fans, with praise for its performances, visuals, action sequences, humor, and faithfulness to the source material. Many critics considered the series to be one of the best live-action adaptations of a manga or anime. One Piece was the most-watched Netflix show (among individual series seasons) during the second half of 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
