I don't understand why we still don't know the actors Smoker and Tashigi. Jokes aside, can someone explain? I have only one version: they will not be in the series at all.
It's possible they are saving them for the Alabasta arc, since Logue Town just introduces them. Tashigi and Smoker really aren't necessary to make Logue Town work, though I'd miss Tashigi in the sword shop and Smoker with Dragon.
Still, it makes some sense to save them for a later Marine Base in Alabasta, if they're trying to consolidate the first season, and think Smoker and Tashigi would be too much.

Probably they will go from Arlong Park to the
Grand Line.
Loguetown with Buggy, Alvida, Luffy and especially Smoker would probably take a lot of money for a epidose that wouldnt do much to the story.
I bet that in a Second Season they would introduce Smoker and Tashigi in the start of the Grand Line, being this secondary villain of the season that push the SH to Alabasta
Wait, this is actually a good point, are there ANY characters from Logue Town mentioned in the casting, that are exclusive to that island?
Starting the second season with Logue Town then going into the Grand Line and Alabasta would make sense.
Episodes:
1: Logue Town, Reverse Mountain (ends with Laboon)
2. Laboon and Whisky Peak (ends with Vivi revealed as a princess)
3. Whiskey Peak and beginning of Little Garden (ends with Giant reveal)
4. Little Garden (ends with Mr. 3's defeat)
5. Leaving Little Garden, Nami sickness, beginning of Drum (Chopper and Kureha teased)
6. Blackbeard tease, Dalton introduction, Wapol introduction (could before, too), Luffy climbs the mountain with Vivi and Nami (chapter ends after Nami and Luffy meet Chopper), Wapol beats Dalton, Vivi reverie flashback, beginning of Chopper flashback
7. Chopper flashback, Wapol fight, big Drum finale
8 and after would be all Alabasta, which would take 4 episodes at least to be done right, IMO, preferably 5.
This would leave us at 11-12 episodes, which I think would be pretty doable, especailly if this season goes well and they get support from Netflix.
