To celebrate, we are sharing a first look at the next chapter with the reveal of the official season title, One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta, and a sneak peek at the journey ahead. In this upcoming season, war is coming for Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Princess Vivi\u2019s homeland. 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. 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\u2019s kingdom before it crumbles into the sand. Fans can look forward to formidable new enemies and brand-new worlds where the stakes have never been higher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cThe Alabasta saga is one of the best-loved stories in all of One Piece \u2014 and one of our personal favorite arcs \u2014 so it&#8217;s a huge honor to bring it to life,&#8221; said Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes, One Piece co-showrunners. &#8220;Season 3 builds on everything we&#8217;ve done before to tell a war story that&#8217;s epic and emotional, spectacular and surprising.
