One Piece live-action season 2 is already on the horizon. The filming for the season is officially wrapped and the sequel will drop sometime in 2025 on Netflix. The upcoming season of One Piece will introduce brand-new villains. Netflix has already released an extensive list of villains and their cast members, but who amongst them will be the overarching antagonist of One Piece live-action season 2? Let’s find out.
Who Will Be the Main Villain in One Piece Live-Action Season 2?
A lot of new villains will appear in the upcoming live-action season 2 of One Piece. But the biggest villain is bound to be Crocodile. Why? Crocodile is the Warlord of the Sea and also the head of the mysterious crime syndicate Baroque Works. He is one of the toughest enemies Luffy has to face during the Arabasta Saga. Joe Manganiello has been chosen to play the role of Crocodile.
Crocodile might not make his debut in the upcoming season, but he is the reason why the Straw Hats have to face a continuous onslaught of enemies. From Miss Goldenweek, Miss Valentine, and Miss All-Sunday to Mr. 9, Mr. 5, Mr. 3, and so on. All of these antagonists work under Crocodile.
Crocodile will be introduced during the Little Garden Arc of One Piece. Sanji will pick up a call meant for Mr. 3, and the person on the other end will be Crocodile. Sanji will pretend to be Mr. 3 and lie to the villain about the status of the mission.
Other Notable Villains in One Piece Live-Action Season 2
Crocodile isn’t the only villain you need to watch out for. The very first problem that the Straw Hats will face in One Piece live-action season 2 is Smoker. He is a Marine Vice-Admiral who will be hot on the tails of our friendly pirates when they reach Logue Town.
The next major enemy that the Straw Hats will face is Miss Goldenweek. She is a Baroque Works agent, whose power allows her to employ a hypnosis based on her skills as a painter. She can influence the behavior of others and Luffy will have hard time overcoming her due to his simple-mindedness and easy to manipulate nature.
Next, the crew will reach Drum Island, a country ruled by a tyrant of a king. Wapol is the main antagonist of the Drum Island arc and will give the pirates tremendous headache due to his arrogant, brutal, and selfist nature. His Devil Fruit power allows him to eat virtually anything and transform it to create something else (this includes humans too).
In a way, Wapol will be the final villain faced by the Straw Hats in One Piece live-action season 2 since Crocodile might not physically debut.
Plot of One Piece Live Action Season 2
One Piece season 2 live-action will cover the Loguetown arc in its first few episodes. Then it will delve into the Arabasta Saga which includes the Reverse Mountain arc, Whiskey Peak arc, Little Island arc, and the Drum Island arc. The final arc of the saga, the Arabasta arc will be adapted in season 3 of the series.
To summarize, the Straw Hats will first visit Logue Town and face Smoker. Next, they will enter the Grand Line via the reverse mountain and meet Laboon, a giant whale. After entering the Grand Line, they will reach Whiskey Peak, an island where the citizens will merrily welcome them, but they have ulterior motives.
Next, they will reach the Little Garden which is a huge island housing two giants, Dorry and Broggy who always fight each other. After resolving the issue between the giants, Luffy and his gang will reach Drum Island where they will face Wapol while finding a new nakama.
