Where did One Piece live action Season 1 end? Overview
Do you remember the intense battle at Arlong Park in Season 1? It ended with Luffy and his new team – Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji, the Straw Hat Crew – freeing Nami’s hometown from the harsh rule of fishman pirate, Arlong. This successful fight strengthened their relationship and increased their rising reputation.
Yet, in the vast seas of the Grand Line, there is no room for a break! The last scene hinted at another challenge for our heroes. Let’s dive deeper:
- A celebrated Marine: Luffy’s wanted poster was seen burning, held by some mysterious person smoking a cigar. His light hair and cigar-smoking habit indicate it’s Captain Smoker, a strong Marine, who can turn into smoke thanks to his Devil Fruit. Smoker is a tough opponent, likely to trouble the Straw Hats a lot.
