[edit] Story
Much like the TV show, Monkey D. Luffy wants to take Gold Roger's place to become King of the Pirates. Together with his Crew namely, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Nico Robin are on a quest to search for the great treasure One Piece and also to fulfill their own dreams.
[edit] Gameplay
There are 4 different modes in the game:
| Game Mode | About that mode |
|---|---|
| Grand Battle | a one-player/two player mode that features unlocked fighters and stages. |
| Story Mode | a mode follows every character through the story. Almost everything unlockable is obtained through this mode. |
| Training | a testing mode to test your skill. Some stages and extras are unlocked here. |
| Grand Tourney | a tournament mode that allows you to select a character and fight in it. |
[edit] Battle Stages
There are 7 battle stages in the American version, they are as follows:
[edit] Fushia Village
Luffy's hometown, where Higuma & his bandits will throw random objects at the players, and also, there will be an angry cow charging and a spinning signpost that can be used to launch the players in a random direction.
[edit] Baratie
The Bistro of the Brine: Sanji's work place. It's a floating restaurant. You can fight only out of it. There is a deck where you can fight, and ruins of Don Krieg's ship that can be destroyed by use of a bomb. You also can also use the mast as a weapon. Pandaman is in a building.
[edit] Arlong Park
This is the HQ of the Arlong Pirates. It's a skinny field with Mohmoo in the middle. You can walk on Mohmoo and even hit him in the face. There are two small houses that can be knocked over and make a path over the water, preventing sinking, while Arlong's pirates attack the players. Pandaman is near a destroyed wall.
[edit] Roguetown (Loguetown in the original)
The place where Gold Roger was born and executed. The smallest field, no cliffs or water. The field can change in shape by attacking the walls. Navy men will fire Sea-Prism Stone (Cherry Stone in the game, and Seastone in the original) nets at you to stun you. Lighting will hit the field sometimes. Alvida is in the middle, and will attack anyone who attacks her. Citizens and Buggy's pirates will toss things at you.
[edit] Drum Castle
Tony Tony Chopper's home. The stage is covered with snow and snowballs. Wapol is an item that eats or attacks the characters. Giant rabbits will throw snowballs at you. Wapol's bodyguards will attack you. Pandaman is in the castle.
[edit] Alabasta Kingdom
Sir Crocodile and Mr. 2 Bon Clay's stage. Occasionally a sandstorm will pop up getting bigger every time you hit it. Also if you hit King Nebra (King Cobra in the original) he will get angry and karate chop you across the stage.
[edit] Eden Rock
The training area. No real obstacles. Pandaman hides in the bushes.

[edit] Removed features
Several features were removed in the American version of the game because the American anime had not progressed as far as the Japanese version.
- 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).
- 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"
- In the Eden Rock stage Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Bartholomew Bear were edited to two guards as the two other members of the Shichibukai appeared after the Alabasta Arc and therefore had not appeared in the American anime. Also, the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) were taken out and so was Lafitte for the same reason.
- Every support character has a voice during battle {during an attack or being called into battle, which the American version did not include}.
- Instead of random pictures for rewards the game offered many different series of the TCG games cards and 3 could be unlocked every time the player has a victory in any match. In the English version you had to unlock them only by Usopp games.
[edit] Missing Characters
- Foxy the Silver Fox - with Hamburg and Porche as support
- Eneru/Enel - with 60,000,000 Volt Julungul as support
- Aokiji - with Ice Bike as support
- Afro Luffy(Just an alternate costume for Luffy, with a different secret attack)
[edit] Misc information
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
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.
The straw hat costumes of the manga Volume 11 cover is a group of secret costumes by doing certain codes.
The English version of this game features a separate version of the One Piece "Pirate Rap" theme from the anime as the intro movie before the title screen. Changing random lines, to make it sound "cooler". For example the original line, "Zolo is just like a Samurai" is changed to "Zolo is-is-is a Samurai".
Due To Chopper not being official Straw Hat at time of the anime, Chopper is seen in the game as a misc character with no alliance.
