While the Netflix adaptation can take a few liberties with the order of some narrative beats, One Piece season 2 definitively covered five arcs throughout its run. That included Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whisky Peak, Little Garden, and – in the last three episodes of the season – the Drum Island arc.With Nami having recovered, Walpol defeated, and Chopper joining the gang, the Straw Hats declare they will help Vivi defeat the Baroque Works and head to Alabasta. In one final scene, Crocodile snarls that "Operation Utopia" will commence.That gives us a very clear indication of where you can pick up on in the manga: specifically, chapter 155 (which features in Volume 17 of the compiled manga editions) and the beginning of the Alabasta arc. That entire arc will likely form a three-to-four episode run in One Piece season 3, but feel free to read ahead any time.You can read the manga on Viz Media's Shonen Jump or the Manga Plus app.
