Overview
Description

Relive the original One Piece story from the humble beginnings in Fuschia Village to the high‑stakes battles of Dressrosa, Marineford, Fish‑Man Island, and beyond. Gather the Straw Hat crew and unleash powerful combos in massive, story‑driven battles against foes like Doflamingo, Hordy Jones, and Caesar Clown.

Based on the animated series, this game puts you in the shoes of Prince Ren, Tula, or Ioz as they scour the world of Mer for the Treasures of Rule. Each character offers a unique balance of strength and agility, but all share the same core combat system of fast combos and heavy attacks. The game features classic side‑scrolling beat‑em‑up action with obstacles like chasms, falling rocks, and spike traps, plus a special life‑energy attack that hits multiple foes. Play solo or team up in split‑screen co‑op to take down the evil pirate Bloth and his crew.
