While using Observation Haki he can sense enemies even behind walls and label them for easy tracking, but this mode focuses on speed and dodging while taking quite a while to deal decent damage despite those benefits. Since he has eaten a special fruit that his turned his body to rubber, Luffy is able to stretch his limbs and inflate himself to pull off unusual and powerful maneuvers, but there is also a system known as Haki where Luffy’s inner strength unlocks additional abilities. When it comes to actually playing as Luffy, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The cutscenes are also presented with subtitled Japanese, but despite this, when important scenes are unfolding the cel-shaded character models are well animated and expressive so the emotional tone remains easy to interpret and the large personalities of One Piece’s world are preserved in this game’s storytelling. Isaac is unfortunately rather hands off during much of the game in addition to being a cold and detached individual, so mostly you care about him more because of his role as Jeanne’s brother rather than anything he’s putting forward himself. Almost every quest, be it an important story one or a simple side quest, usually involves Jeanne in some capacity even if it’s not in a substantial role, but it does a good job of keeping her a present figure in the plot and one whose motivations and history you understand well. While you are playing as a group of character from a long-running franchise, most of the story’s progression is truly focused on Jeanne and Isaac’s relationship as well as the growing troubles involved as the island is revealed to be home to a set of powerful gems known as Dyna Stones that force conflict between the Marines, Luffy’s crew, and many faces he has met in his travels. However, her own brother Isaac has been made the warden of this island’s prisons, and with his cybernetic enhancements and robot creations he pressures the island’s inhabitants to remain obedient. Being that you’re playing as the leader of a small but famous band of pirates it’s little surprise you fall in with the Anti-Marine faction, their leader being an optimistic young woman named Jeanne who believes she can reunite the island to the way it used to be before the prisons were built. Here, the Marines who patrol the world’s seas and have had multiple run-ins with these pirates before have established three major prisons and have come to dominate the life of the islanders with their influence, the people splitting into two factions based on whether or not they support the occupying Marines.
Luffy and his crew the Straw Hat Pirates ending up stuck on an island known as Prison Island. Taking place after the Whole Cake Island arc, One Piece: World Seeker is a self-contained story about the pirate Monkey D. After completing this self-imposed challenge, one of the things I was most excited to do after was go and check out the world of One Piece video games and one of the most recent releases at the time was the open world action-adventure game One Piece: World Seeker.
Perhaps unsurprisingly it quickly became my favorite manga I’ve ever read, with its creative worldbuilding, intricately connected web of a story, and imaginative power usage to spice up the action portions. Back in August of 2020, I decided I’d undertake the daunting task of plunging into the pirate manga One Piece from the very beginning, and after 6 months and over 1000 chapters later, I was caught up to where the story is now.
