Netflix has unveiled a captivating new trailer for One Piece Season 2, titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, offering fans an exciting glimpse into the Straw Hat Pirates' next chapter of adventures on the high seas. The trailer highlights the crew's journey into the perilous Grand Line, showcasing breathtaking new locations, formidable challenges, and the introduction of beloved characters from Eiichiro Oda's iconic manga and anime series.
Tony Tony Chopper, the intelligent reindeer who gains human-like abilities after consuming a Devil Fruit, takes center stage in key moments of the trailer. Portrayed in live-action with a blend of practical effects and motion capture, Chopper appears in his signature small, bipedal form wearing his distinctive hat, as well as glimpses of his more animalistic "Walk Point" reindeer appearance. Voiced by Mikaela Hoover, who also provides facial capture, Chopper's inclusion promises to bring heart and whimsy to the season.
The trailer teases the Straw Hats' arrival at the snowy Drum Island, a pivotal arc that follows the crew's entry into the Grand Line. After Nami falls gravely ill, the group is compelled to dock at the wintery island in search of medical help. There, they encounter Dr. Kureha, the island's sole doctor, portrayed by Katey Sagal in the live-action adaptation. Chopper serves as her loyal assistant, and over the course of this storyline, Monkey D. Luffy and the crew uncover Chopper's poignant history. As a young reindeer, Chopper was taken in by the elderly Dr. Hiriluk, who trained him in the ways of medicine and instilled in him a dream of healing others. Tragically, Dr. Hiriluk one day sent Chopper away, a decision the reindeer misinterpreted until realizing too late that his mentor was suffering from a terminal illness. In one of the trailer's most touching scenes, Chopper is shown sitting beside Dr. Hiriluk as they gaze at the moon together, signaling that this emotional backstory will be explored as part of the Drum Island arc.
Beyond the heartfelt moments on Drum Island, the trailer builds anticipation for the broader stakes of the season. The Straw Hats face increasingly dangerous foes as they navigate the Grand Line's unpredictable waters. Viewers get glimpses of exotic wildlife, including dinosaurs, massive whales, and even tiny otters armed with seashell weapons, emphasizing the fantastical world that awaits. Luffy, played by Iñaki Godoy, expresses joy at having assembled his crew and reaching this legendary stretch of ocean, declaring they are now closer than ever to their dreams.
The season also introduces thrilling action through encounters with the Baroque Works assassins, a shadowy criminal organization whose members wield extraordinary powers and pose unprecedented threats to the Straw Hats. These villains, described as "crazy powerful" in the trailer, bring a heightened level of danger and intrigue to the pirates' voyage.
One Piece: Into the Grand Line premieres March 10, 2026, exclusively on Netflix. The eight-episode season continues the live-action adaptation of the globally beloved series, promising a mix of high-seas excitement, emotional character development, and epic battles as the Straw Hat crew presses onward in their quest for the ultimate treasure.
