Almost 10 days have passed since the release of the live action one piece on Netflix. In fact, the work debuted on August 31 last year, breaking previous viewing records held by series such as Stranger Things 4 AND Wednesday. Today again The game series is ranked 1st among the most watched series on Netflix in Italy.: Numbers that fuel hopes for a second season.

Given this success, Netflix could actually greenlight a continuation of the series, even with just a second season that would significantly adapt the Alabasta arc. After that, After the manga, we will be faced with the long saga of Skypiea.

: One of the most appreciated by readers and turned out to be very important for the last chapters of the manga. The saga, which also received a television adaptation in 2018. Sky Island Episode.
