Story[]
The Straw Hat Pirates shipwreck on a mysterious island, the crew is separated, and Luffy loses his straw hat. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Franky ventured onto the island to find Zoro, Nami, and Brook. They wandered into King Kong Garden and saw Nami from a distance, cornered by a Del Kong. Fighting their way through Eisas and Hidélie Penguins, they arrived at the Del Kong's nest, but before the creature could hurt Nami, Zoro appeared and intervened.
When the Five Elders learn that the Straw Hat Pirates have shipwrecked on Waford, they send a certain person to the island.[4]
On Waford, the Straw Hat Pirates meet Adio Suerte, a wandering explorer, and Lim, a young woman with the abilities to steal people's abilities and seal them in a cube. She returns Luffy's straw hat and steals the crew's abilities, dispersing the cube that contains them into pieces. The pirate crew must find their lost abilities and explore Memoria, a world built from their memories. This takes the crew to recreations of Arabasta Kingdom, Water 7, Enies Lobby, Marineford, and Dressrosa, where they encounter familiar friends and foes.
After recovering their abilities, the Straw Hats crew are forced back into Memoria by a mysterious girl resembling Lim holding a black cube in hand. They are transported to an alternate Arabasta where Crocodile was successful in taking over the country. The black cubes alter Memoria, even bringing in other people (Dracule Mihawk, Perona, and Enel) from the Straw Hats' history who weren't created before.
One Piece Odyssey began development five years prior to its public reveal in 2022.[6]
The game's producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki gave a video interview when the game was announced, discussing the inception of the project and Oda's involvement.[7]
Around three years prior to the game's public reveal, Eiichiro Oda contributed designs for Adio and different animals, and the art team at ILCA developed the setting and further artwork based on Oda's story and world.
