This GBA One Piece game is one of those early 2000s licensed brawlers—simple, a little janky, but weirdly charming if you're into the East Blue arc. You mostly run left to right smacking Marines and Baroque Works goons with Luffy's stretchy punches, Zoro's swords, or Nami's staff. The sprites are chunky but full of personality, and hearing those 8-bit versions of "We Are!" and the classic battle themes actually hits kinda hard.

Don't expect deep combat—it's basically button-mash territory, though swapping between crew members keeps it from getting too repetitive. The boss fights against Arlong or Buggy are where it shines, even if the hit detection feels a bit off sometimes. Honestly, half the fun is just seeing how they crammed the anime's vibe into a tiny cartridge.

If you're a One Piece diehard, it's a nostalgia trip worth firing up for 20 minutes between better games.
