Birth of Luffy's Dream Pirate Crew!

One Piece: Birth of Luffy's Dream Pirate Crew! is a tactical RPG for the Game Boy Color console based on the manga and anime series One Piece. Developed and published by Bandai, it was released on April 27, 2001.

The game primarily adapts the East Blue Saga, chronicling the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates from Foosha Village to Arlong Park. However, the player is free to shuffle canon events out-of-order (such as recruiting Nami before Zoro) and even - in certain conditions - recruit enemies such as Alvida and Kuro as allies.

Gameplay
As in most RPGs, the player directs a party of adventurers across various towns and islands, interacting with non-player characters, collecting items, and battling enemies for experience. Enemies may emerge from random encounters or scripted encounters, with the latter mainly tied to major antagonists ranging from Higuma to Arlong.

Battles are turn-based, taking place on a combat map similar to the adventuring "overworld" map. There, player and enemy forces may choose from the following actions.


 * Move (いどう)
 * Attack (こうげき)
 * Finisher (ひっさつ)
 * Status (ステータス)
 * Wait (たいき)
