For enthusiasts of the popular series, One Piece Day is undoubtedly the highlight of the year, and this year was no different, as One Piece Day ’25 delivered thrilling updates and revelations to fans. The most electrifying announcement was perhaps the unveiling of a new trailer for Season 2 of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece, which, as previously announced at Netflix’s Tudum in May, is scheduled to premiere in 2026. Given the immense success of the first season, Season 2 of the live-action One Piece promises to be a significant milestone for the series, introducing several new and vital characters, among them a Marine character that fans are eagerly anticipating.
Netflix’s “One Piece” Live Action series just unveiled a fresh trailer for Season 2, jam-packed with thrilling easter eggs and surprise appearances. This sneak peek offered fans their initial glimpse of characters like Vivi, Nico Robin, and notably, Captain Smoker – one of the primary antagonists in the upcoming story arc of Season 2. Callum Kerr, who plays Captain Smoker in the live-action version, seems to embody the legendary Marine Captain flawlessly in the new teaser, from his menacing countenance to the twin cigars he holds, suggesting a performance that stays true to the original content.

Among fans, there’s been some debate over certain live-action characters like Vivi and Chopper. However, when it comes to characters such as Captain Smoker and Crocodile, there seems to be a general consensus that the casting was spot on. In particular, Smoker’s portrayal is widely praised – his wig and costume design are impeccable, with even minor details like the Marine logo on his motorcycle’s tire rims adding to the series’ overall high-quality prop design.
For individuals who aren’t familiar with Captain Smoker, this morally complex Marine Officer will play a significant role as one of the main adversaries during the Logue Town Arc, serving as the foundation for Season 2’s storyline. Unlike previous Marines we’ve seen in the series, such as Captain Morgan and Captain Nezumi, Smoker is among the earliest likeable and fair Marine characters that audiences meet, aside from Garp. It will be intriguing to discover if Netflix’s adaptation of One Piece will also feature the memorable ice cream cone scene between Captain Smoker and the young girl, a pivotal moment in his character development. Regardless, it appears that fans can anticipate Captain Smoker to remain as cool and compelling in the live-action version.
