[edit] Removed features

Several features were removed in the American version of the game because the American anime was not far enough

Two fighting arenas were omitted (they had not appeared in America yet). The stages were the Maxim (Skypiea arc) and the Sexy Foxy(Davy Back Fight arc).
In the American anime, Ms. All-Sunday/Ms. Sunday/Nico Robin was NOT part of the Straw Hat Pirates at the time of the games release. Therefore, her extra costumes and all references of her association with the Strawhats were omitted.
The Davy Back Games mode was changed to feature Usopp and his Veggie Pirates and renamed mini-game mode, as Foxy and his crew did not appear in the anime at the time of the game's release. However they still can be seen in the background of some of the mini games, and Davy Back Fight rules still apply (IE, the winner gets to take one of the loser's crewmates.)
Usopp's Impact Dial attack, Afro Luffy's Gomu Gomu No Cannon, and an attack of Sanji's that can be seen in Kokoro no Chizu were removed from the American version.
Mihawk's necklace and sword were edited.
As with the english anime, Smoker's name is changed to Chaser and the cigars in his mouth are removed. However, the cigars strapped to his coat were not removed, nor the kanji for "justice"

[edit] Misc information

Similar to Power Stone, Rave Master, and Super Smash Bros. Melee, this fighter is crazy and wacky with its own sense of style.

An American only sequel, One Piece Grand Adventure, featuring several characters either excluded from the original game or new to any One Piece game, was released in 2006.

There are a few editing conflicts in the game, for example, in Logue town (Rogue town in the dub) the Marine gates still have the Marines sign, despite 4kids editing. More conflicts can be found in the One Piece Art section on the title screen, where images from removed openings, ending, and story arcs appear.
