That bubbly ringing you hear is the sound of a snail phone delivering fresh intel about ONE PIECE Season 3: Production has officially wrapped.
Before the cameras stopped rolling on the third installment, the Straw Hats assembled to deliver a special dispatch from the set in Cape Town, South Africa. Take a gander below at a new image featuring Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Nami (Emily Rudd), Zoro (Mackenyu), Usopp (Jacob Romero), Sanji (Taz Skylar), and Princess Vivi (Charithra Chandran).

The upcoming chapter, titled ONE PIECE: The Battle of Alabasta, brings the fan-favorite Alabasta arc to life as the Straw Hats race to help Vivi save her homeland, which is on the brink of civil war.
“For many ONE PIECE fans, Alabasta is the arc that hooked them as nakama for life, combining [ONE PIECE manga creator Eiichiro Oda] Oda-san’s incredible talent for world-building and memorable characters in a story that’s thematically rich, emotionally gripping, and visually spectacular,” Season 3 co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes tell Tudum. “Reaching this story has been a dream for our team since the live-action series began. We’re excited to be in production on Season 3 right now. We’ll see you in Alabasta — it’s going to be epic!”
Read on to learn more about the new season, including the synopsis and cast.
What is ONE PIECE Season 3 about?
After agreeing to help Princess Vivi at the end of Season 2, Luffy and the Straw Hat crew face a brewing war in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Vivi’s homeland.
In Season 3, a rebellion “threatens to tear the nation apart, fueled in secret by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruthless Sir Crocodile, and his underground syndicate Baroque Works, who seek to conquer Alabasta for themselves,” the logline reads. “In a season defined by unbreakable bonds and impossible choices, the Straw Hats must face a brewing civil war and a powerful warlord to save Vivi’s kingdom before it crumbles into the sand.”
Formidable new enemies and brand-new worlds await in this upcoming installment, in which the stakes are the highest they’ve ever been.

Who’s in the Season 3 cast?
All the Straw Hats are coming back, including Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Rudd as Nami, Romero as Usopp, and Skylar as Sanji.
They’ll be joined by returning Season 2 cast members Chandran as Princess Vivi, Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, and Sendhil Ramamurthy as Alabasta King Nefertari Cobra.
And you’ll be seeing a lot more of Hoover, Manganiello, Abova, and Ramamurthy — they’ve all been upped to series regulars for the third installment.
Additional cast members boarding Season 3 include Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace and Cole Escola (the Tony Award–winning star of the Broadway play Oh, Mary!) as theatrical assassin Bon Clay.
Daisy Head (Shadow and Bone, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) will join the cast as Baroque Works agent Miss Doublefinger, along with Awdo Awdo (Upcoming: Subversion) as Mr. 1.
