Gameplay

The core loop is a baseball tournament: choose a squad and battle the rival teams for the title. Simple buttons cover batting, bunting, pitch selection, and fielding throws. More than fifty familiar faces from Luffy to Zoro can be drafted, and a custom team option lets players assemble their own lineup. A separate minigame mode rounds out the package.

Story and Setting

A story mode threads the matches together and doubles as the way to unlock the final hidden team. The crew appears in the outfits they wear during the Skypiea arc, placing the lighthearted spin-off around that point in the One Piece timeline.
