With the release of One Piece Odyssey about two months away, we're learning more about what the game can offer. That's because Bandai Namco has been releasing bits of information here and there. This time, it is a new trailer that revealed the Water Seven arc.
In the anime series, this arc focuses on Water 7, also known as the "Capital of Water." This is a city in Paradise known for its shipwrights. For this storyline, the Straw Hats have arrived at Water 7 looking for a shipwright who can repair the Going Merry. While there, they're targeted by the Franky Family, the underground gang of the city and the mysterious World Government organization CP9. Soon, the crew starts to fall apart with the disappearance of Robin and a split that develops between Luffy and Usopp.
You can watch the new trailer below:
For this part of the game, players can experience a new story of the Straw Hats, with a focus on Usopp and Robin. This particular quest leads them to see familiar places including the Gallery-La Company or faces like Franky’s gang, Iceburg, Aokiji, and some of the CP9 members like Lucci and Kaku.
However, while the places and situations do look and have that familiar feel, nothing is as it exactly was in these memories. Players will see some differences with the story some of them know and love.
