All of the One Piece References You Missed in the New Netflix Season 2 Set Tour

A new Set Tour video for One Piece Season 2 has been released by Netflix as part of Netflix’s Geeked Week, hosted by Buggy the Clown actor, Jeff Ward.
There are loads of major and minor One Piece tidbits to glean from the video – most of them blurred out to avoid major Season 2 spoilers – and as a One Piece historian, I’m going to break down the new references we recognize, and the ones that we can safely speculate about.
We loved One Piece Season 1 , and we're hopeful that Season 2 will be even better.
Alabasta Costumes in the Wardrobe?
This might feel like a stretch, but when Jeff is chatting to costume designer Kerry Barnard, the costume behind them on the left looks a lot like Toto’s, the father of Koza from Alabasta. This won’t mean much to live-action-only fans, but if this is correct, we could take this as confirmation that Season 3 is being shot alongside Season 2. The rest of the clothes on the rack are considerably warmer-looking, and are probably for the icy Drum Island, which acts as the Season 2 climax.
Lots and Lots of Wigs
During the tour of hair & makeup with Amanda Ross McDonald, we get a close-up shot of some wigs on a shelf. Each is labeled, and while we can’t make out all of them, the pink wig on the right here clearly belongs to Miss Monday, who appears in Whiskey Peak. However, a montage near the end of the video also showcases Miss Valentine’s wig in particular.
Wapol’s New Flag?
Another mysterious one, as Jeff gestures at another blurred wall, we get a look at a coat rack to his right. There’s a Marine hat on top, that’s obvious, but the jacket on the back of the rack seems to have a new pirate logo on it, and it looks very similar to Drum Island’s King Wapol. Wapol did take to a life of piracy for a short while, and this new logo bears more of a resemblance to his manga incarnation.
Props!
There aren’t any trams in this part of the One Piece story, to my memory, but if I were to take a guess I’d say that this prop will be located in Loguetown. Loguetown has a strong Marine presence thanks to Captain Smoker, and that’s the exact vibe the posters on this tram give off.
We get a look at another two props courtesy of property master Egbert Kruger. One is canon – which we could imagine being a part of most ships, or perhaps Drum Island’s castle – and finally a giant syringe weapon. I don’t remember this being a part of the original story, but it’d be a fitting weapon for either Dr. Hiluluk or Dr. Kureha, both of whom are doctors – duh – and the Drum Island arc as a whole is themed around doctors and medicine, so it makes some sense. Alternatively, this could be how the Baroque Works agents topple the giants Dorry and Broggy on Little Garden.
The Twin Cape Lighthouse
The final interesting thing to note is the interior of the Twin Cape Lighthouse – the Straw Hats never actually went inside the lighthouse in the original story, because Crocus had moved inside of the giant whale, Laboon. This location may hint that we no longer go inside Laboon’s body – a stretch too far, perhaps, even for live-action One Piece.
