Storyline
Unknown to the non-Japanese speaking world at the moment, although there is a "story" section on the official site. The game will most likely take place after, the Water 7 arc. The game also seems to hint at time-traveling.

Gameplay
Using the Wii remote you can use the crew's weapons or items (and possibly in-between) players can use the characters special offenses or possibly defenses, the items simply work like the Legend of Zelda inventory, and characters may have special abilities or exclusive items (like in Sonic Adventure), some of the attacks from the One Piece fighting games will return. the latest scans also seem to show a Vs. mode, similar to the Grand Battle series.

Games Notes

 * The game is renouned for becoming slow when loading once 4 characters are aviable to play.
 * This game continues to use Shanks pre-skypiea outfit despite referencing chapter 434 where Shanks meets Whitebeard.
 * Aside from Shanks, Whitebeard and several other characters are featured despite actaully a lack of fighting style being shown for those characters (at this point Shanks and Whitebeard both have only thrown one strike each). This is not the first time in  the series this has happened.  For example, Grand Battle! and its sequels also featured characters which had not actually fought during the series.
