One Piece Mobile Jack, officially shortened to Moja (モジャ?),[1] was a comprehensive games site that housed various One Piece mobile video games and apps on SoftBank and i-mode phones.[2] It ended service on November 29, 2015.[3]
Mobile Jack was a subscription-based games site where users could pay 315 yen a month to access different games and apps.[4] Apps were divided into two types: email app (メールアプリ?) and battle app (バトルアプリ?) and released monthly.[5]
Games and Apps[]
Pirate Ship App[]
Pirate Ship App screenshots.
Pirate Ship App (海賊船アプリ?) was an email app where users could have their own pirate ship and travel on it with the Straw Hat Pirates. It was one of Mobile Jack's first apps. Using points built up from battle apps, users could buy new ships or items to customize them with. When emails were delivered, different characters would carry them. Challenge emails from enemies occasionally appeared, and users had to switch to a battle app to defeat them.
Customization items for ships included parasols, fruit trees, and cannons among other things. Users could care for their characters by patting or hitting them, and they responded accordingly. For example, users could make Chopper cry or transform.
There were four ports in the app, with enemy pirates at each. These pirates could challenge users to compete in battle apps. Winning and accumulating points could also improve a user's ranking.[6]
Mail App Light Version (メールアプリLight版?) released May 30, 2006 and was a simplified version of the Pirate Ship App. It removed event mail and the "sail away" command, just allowing players to interact with the Straw Hat Pirates and read emails.[7]
Little Garden Adventure[]

Little Garden Adventure (冒険のリトルガーデン?) was an adventure platforming game where players could lead Luffy as he punched his way from Whisky Peak to Little Garden. It was one of Mobile Jack's first apps. Luffy would have to get through Baroque Works members, executives, and giants and could eat food along the way to restore stamina.[6]
Swordsman Roronoa Zoro (剣豪ロロノア・ゾロ?) was an action game where players could control Roronoa Zoro to slash enemies. It was one of Mobile Jack's first apps. Players could cut enemies from three different directions: Up, right, and left. Bosses appeared in each stage, and Zoro could use special moves like "Onigiri" and "Tatsu Maki" to defeat them.[6]
Battle Keshi Keshi Piece (バトルけしけしピース?) was a puzzle game where players would erase frames of images of the Straw Hat Pirates to accumulate power and defeat powerful enemies using Luffy's abilities. It was one of Mobile Jack's first apps. If players filled their gauge more than their opponent, they would attack them. If the opponent does the reverse, they attack the player. Eliminating more frames at once dealt more damage, and defeating a strong enemy required a strategy in which frames were erased first.[6]
Captain Usopp's Famous Shooting (キャプテンウソップの名射撃?) was a ten-key shooting game to beat enemies that appeared on the screen with Usopp's slingshot. It was one of Mobile Jack's first apps. Nine keys corresponded to squares on the screen to shoot pirates and avoid being attacked by them. Usopp's different attacks, like the ketchup star, lead star, and gunpowder star could be used against bosses. The game took place in Syrup Village, and enemies were members of the Black Cat Pirates.[6]
Sanji's Cooking Class[]
Sanji's Cooking Class (サンジの料理教室?) released September 5, 2005 and was a cooking game in which players controlled Sanji to prepare dishes using different minigames. Minigames included chopping ingredients with a knife, adjusting the temperature on a stove to cook food properly, and seasoning food adequately.[8]

One Piece Super Battle (ワンピース スーパーバトル?) released February 6, 2007 and was an offline 2D fighting game where players can battle characters from the One Piece franchise.[10] The starting roster featured six characters, and more characters from the Straw Hat Pirates and CP9 were added monthly.[11] Characters could gain experience points (経験値?) and level up over time from battles. This would cause them to learn new special moves specific to each character and increase the upper limit of their power gauge, allowing them to use more special moves in battle. Battle Points could also be used to purchase additional characters.[12]
Characters were controlled with the phone's buttons, and inputting different combinations would trigger special moves, similar to conventional fighting games.[13]
The game featured effects reminiscent of the manga, like breaking through walls when an opponent is hit with a special move and being knocked into the next room of a stage. Additionally, sound effects from the manga like "doga" (ドガ?), "baki" (バキ?), and "dogoooo" (ドゴォォォ?) could appear in the background to reflect impactful scenes.[14]
One Piece Super NET Battle (ワンピース スーパーNETバトル?) released on June 6, 2007, and was an updated online version of Super Battle where players could fight others from around the country with characters they had trained against CPU. Players could select six action patterns from a total of eight, and characters would execute them automatically in battle. Players gained experience from battles whether they won or lost. Scores were recorded in Mobile Jack and could be viewed later.[12][15] It inherited its roster from Super Battle and added more characters.

Some characters had to be purchased with in-game currency, and others were unlocked through special conditions.[20] For example, Bartholomew Kuma was unlocked by playing the communication event mode, an online event mode, with Enies Lobby Zoro from Super NET Battle. Kuma had a low probability of appearing, but if he did, players had to defeat him and Crocodile with this Zoro, unlocking Kuma for purchase in the in-game shop.[21]

Items included consumable items like Recovery Pills (回復剤?), event and scenario items that were needed to progress the game's plot, and collection items from the series. There were more than 100 collection items available, including Arlong's fangs, Kuro's claws, and Pearl's shield, which could be collected in various ways like defeating bosses or finding them in the overworld.[24]
The game featured a network system that allowed players to compete in various rankings. If players asked for help in the Tavern (酒場?), other players' characters would come to assist them in battle when they were in trouble.[25]

One Piece: Treasure Hunt on Treasure Island (ワンピース 財宝島の宝探し?) released May 1, 2008 and was a digging game where players search for buried treasure.

Players can also use skills to steal treasure from opponents and a variety of moves to find valuable treasure. The game had over 15 characters, including Brook, as well as over 200 different items to collect.
In the games, the three-man teams had to dig up more treasure than their opponents, and if the total appraisal value was greater than their opponents, they would win. If it was less, they would lose. The appraisal value changed depending on the appraisal team that appeared after the battle. When the dig (掘る?) command was selected, an action gauge next to the player character's icon would decrease. The digging would be complete once the gauge reached zero. An item always appeared at the end of a dig. When an item was found, it would be sent to a conveyor belt in the upper right corner of the screen. When the items reached the right side of the belt, the player would receive the item. When the technique (技?) command was selected, players' characters would perform special actions. Techniques could interfere with an opponent, destroy obstacles, or attack an opponent directly and decrease their HP. After activating a technique, a player's character becomes immobile for a length of time. The more powerful the technique, the longer the cooldown. Players could reduce their opponent's health to zero to knock all the items off their conveyor belt. When the item (アイテム?) command was selected, players could select the item they were currently holding. They could read the description of their items and decide which was appropriate to use. Using items could have a big impact on the course of a battle. Medicine and food could also restore player characters' HP.
After a battle finished, appraisal (鑑定?) always occurred. Each member of the appraisal team has an affinity for specific items, and depending on which characters the player used, they could see a bonus or reduction to the normal value. Members of the appraisal team were selected at random, meaning that luck was partially required to win a battle. After a battle, players could sell their earned items in an auction. Players could also sell and buy items at a shop at any time. Depending on the appraisal team, some items that would not fetch a high price at the shop could be sold for far greater.[63]
One Piece Slot[]
One Piece Slot (ワンピーススロット?) released August 1, 2007 and was a slot game in which players let Luffy and his crew through different islands to enemies and earn coins. Like all slot games, lining up three-of-a-kind in a row earned players a bonus. Players had to turn the wheel with a handful of Belly to start the game. As they earned more coins, the monitor at the top of the game's screen would display Luffy and his friends' actions, following the patterns of "voyage → search → voyage" (航海→探索→航海?). When on the islands, players would encounter rival pirates and trigger battles. Players defeated them by lining up the slot reels. This caused them to enter Party Mode (宴モード?), in which they earned a lot of Belly.
The Belly earned could be used to play the slot game, as well as buy wallpapers and slot table designs that the players could change. Players could also add friends who would come help them fight enemies, resulting in added bonuses. Belly could also be used in other games like Super Battle by converting them in the Exchange (換金所?).[64]
One Piece Moja Sugoroku (ワンピース モジャスゴロク?) released October 1, 2007 and was a sugoroku game in which players led Luffy and his crew through four islands, accumulating Belly while experiencing various events in the game board's squares. To win the game, players had to be the first to finish, which could unlock more characters.
At the start of a game, players would choose a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and try to reach the goal faster than their opponents while collecting treasure. First, they had to choose an island, their character, and who they would play against. Then, they would use a roulette to decide who would attack first and last. For each turn, players had to spin the roulette, and the character would advance automatically along the board by the number spun. At a fork in the path, players would choose which direction to follow by selecting an arrow. If the square the character stopped on was special or contained treasure, an event would occur. Some squares triggered battles, and others granted players treasure. Players could also find members of the Straw Hat Pirates on the squares. Passing through the squares they were on would cause them to help players in their next battle.[65]
