New ‘One Piece’ Season 2 Poster Highlights Legendary Location
Netflix has shared the first look at Reverse Mountain in the upcoming second season of One Piece, giving fans a glimpse of the Straw Hat Pirates’ next big adventure.
Teen Vogue revealed the new poster and two exclusive images, showing the crew sailing their beloved ship, the Going Merry, up the iconic rivers of Reverse Mountain.
Season 2, officially titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, will follow the Straw Hats as they leave the East Blue Sea behind and enter the Grand Line.
Reverse Mountain is a key location in the story, where the Four Blues meet and flow upward before merging into the dangerous waters of the Grand Line.
Emily Rudd, who plays the Straw Hats’ navigator Nami, spoke to Teen Vogue about filming the massive set. “Like nearly everything we do on our show, Reverse Mountain was a huge ‘how the hell are we going to do this’ feeling,” she said.
“Our priority is always to do right by the anime and manga, Oda-san, and the fans, and since it’s the make-or-break beginning of the Straw Hats’ journey into the Grand Line, it needed to feel like the big, exciting feat that it is.”
Rudd also highlighted the challenges of filming on such a large set. “The Merry was set to a 26-degree incline or decline… it created a fun challenge for us when it came to our stunt work. Simply walking around the ship without a hand on a safety line was pretty much asking for an unexpected fall. At the same time, it made it feel more real, even though we were just working with ourselves, the Merry, and blue screens,” she explained.
Reverse Mountain will also test the crew in new ways. “For Nami, it was a new test of her navigational skills, but on Reverse Mountain, she and the fans will soon find that even with a lot of teamwork, not everything — or maybe everyone — can be anticipated or avoided,” Rudd teased.
ATTENTION ALL PIRATES! 🏴☠️ The doctor is in!

In addition to Reverse Mountain, fans can expect to see Loguetown, the site of Gol D. Roger’s execution and a place that played a big role in season 1.
Rudd said returning to Loguetown was special. “It’s their first stop on their way to the One Piece as a real crew, and I think fans are going to have a lot of fun watching their family dynamic (and more) in action.”
Season 2 promises more adventure, new characters, and bigger challenges than the first season. “Compared to last season, we have more new friends, more foes, more islands, more adventure — the whole thing is just more, and I’m so excited for the fans to see it all,” Rudd added. She gave fans one final warning: “If you thought last season was crazy, you’d better buckle up.”
