Returning One Piece Cast Members
Several major stars from the previous seasons will return for the third installment.

The Battle for Alabasta
Season 3 will continue the story after the events of the second season and take the Straw Hat crew into Alabasta, the homeland of Princess Vivi.
The kingdom is facing a growing rebellion that threatens to plunge the country into a devastating civil war. Behind the conflict is Sir Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his criminal organization, Baroque Works.
As the Straw Hats become caught in the struggle, Luffy and his crew must confront increasingly dangerous enemies while trying to protect Vivi and save her kingdom from collapse.
The Alabasta storyline is expected to introduce major battles, new alliances and difficult choices for the Straw Hat pirates as they face one of their most formidable opponents yet.

Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes serve as co-showrunners, writers and executive producers for the upcoming season.
One Piece is produced through a partnership involving Shueisha, Tomorrow Studios and Netflix. Executive producers include Eiichiro Oda, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe and Steven Maeda.
Production on Season 3 has already wrapped in Cape Town, South Africa, bringing the latest chapter of Netflix's live-action pirate adventure closer to its eventual release.
With the Alabasta storyline now taking center stage and an expanding cast of fan-favorite characters, anticipation continues to build for the next chapter of One Piece.
