Gameplay

Combat is arena style, following the Grand Battle format rather than a crew brawler. The centerpiece Adventure Mode strings together ten stages navigated from the Going Merry, and characters beaten in battle can join the player's crew or turn up in minigames. A leveling system nudges character stats upward over the course of play.

Story and Setting

Players guide the Straw Hat Pirates across a world map in pursuit of the One Piece, covering the manga's early events up through the Skypiea arc. The mode blends story recreation with side activities rather than delivering a strict retelling.

Development and Release

Ganbarion develops the game and Namco Bandai Games publishes it, building on One Piece: Grand Battle! Rush. Unusually for the series it targets Western audiences, reaching North America on August 30, 2006, and Europe that September. Reviews are middling, with the GameCube version near 70 on Metacritic and the PlayStation 2 version near 66.
