Based on the manga, One Piece Season 2 will see the Straw Hats embark on their journey through the Grand Line. After navigating the treacherous waters of Reverse Mountain, the five-member crew arrives at Whiskey Peak, an island that seemingly welcomes them with open arms by throwing a grand celebration. However, the festivities mask a darker reality    the town is a base for Baroque Works, a criminal organization with sinister plans led by Mr. 0 (Joe Manganiello). Here, the crew will encounter several Baroque Works agents, including Mr. 5 (Camrus Johnson), Mr. 9 (Daniel Lasker), Miss Valentine (Jazzara Jaslyn), Miss Wednesday (Charithra Chandran), and Miss All Sunday (Lera Abova).

Transitioning to the Little Garden arc, the Straw Hat Pirates find themselves on a prehistoric island inhabited by giants and dinosaurs. They meet Dorry (Werner Coetser) and Brogy (Brendan Murray), two giants engaged in a century-long duel. As the crew navigates the dangers of the island, they clash with more Baroque Works agents, including Mr. 3 (David Dastmalchian) and Miss Goldenweek (Sophia Anne Caruso), whose color trap abilities add a unique layer of peril.

The journey intensifies as they reach Drum Island, where the crew seeks medical assistance for Nami. This snow-covered kingdom was once ruled by the tyrannical Wapol (Rob Colletti), whose oppressive reign left scars on its people. The crew meets Dalton (Ty Keogh) and the eccentric Dr. Kureha (Katey Sagal), as well as her protégé, Tony Tony Chopper   a talking reindeer with extraordinary medical skills. Chopper's emotional backstory and courageous spirit make him an unforgettable addition to the crew.
