One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 1: The Beginning of the End
Technically, this episode should have been the final episode of One Piece live-action Season 1, but the staff saved it for the second season. Before the Straw Hat Pirates sail to the treacherous Grand Line, they pay a visit to the place where the Marines executed the Pirate King. As usual, the crew will run into trouble, but this time against a Marine Captain, Smoker, and his assistant, Tashigi.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 2: Good Whale Hunting
The big whale, Laboon, is no longer a secret, and it will be one of the first characters the Straw Hat Pirates meet after they cross the Reverse Mountain and enter the Grand Line for the first time. Here, the Straw Hats will also cross paths with the first set of Baroque Works agents who try to hunt down the giant whale.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 3: Whiskey Business
Right after their adventures with Laboon, the new Baroque Works agents they met take the Straw Hat Pirates to a new town on Cactus Island. At first, everything in the town seems pretty happy and normal, but soon things start to take a sudden turn.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 4: Big Trouble in Little Garden
Following Whiskey Peak, the Straw Hat Pirates will sail next to the Little Garden Island, where the setting takes us back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

The Straw Hats must resolve the problem between the two giants, which has been going on for over a century.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 5: Wax On, Wax Off
The fifth episode will cover the second half of the Little Garden arc, where new Baroque Works Agents also step onto this primeval island. So, this episode is all about a face-off against the Straw Hat Pirates and the Baroque Works Agents. As the title suggests, Mr. 3, aka Galdino, will show off his waxy powers in this episode.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 6: Nami Deerest
When the conflicts in the Little Garden arc are put to rest, the Straw Hat Pirates, in a desperate search for a doctor, head to the icy region, Drum Island.
