In the grand narrative of ONE PIECE, the Straw Hat Pirates grew from a “rookie gang” in the East China Sea to a “worst generation” that shook the world. They relied not only on Luffy’s rubber fist, but also on the complete bond that each member created with their “defects” —
I. Core members: legends forged by defects and perseverance
1. Monkey D. Luffy
The Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit gave him the ability to “stretch everything”, but it could not lock in his more powerful traits: his instinctive pursuit of “freedom” (refusing to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and going his own way even if he was crushed), and his absolute paranoia towards his partners (in the Judicial Island arc, he threw the “Sniper King” flare in the face of the World Government just to get Robin back). When watching Ace die in the war on the top, the collapsed back made everyone understand: the shoulders of this “idiot captain” carry a responsibility heavier than dreams.
2. Roronoa Zoro
In the dictionary of the three-sword swordsman, “failure” is more terrible than death. In order to protect Luffy’s position as captain, he can kneel to receive Mihawk’s sharp blade in the Horror Triangle (he wanted to be defeated two years ago, just to return stronger); he can also swing his sword a thousand times at himself who “cannot protect the captain” in Hawkeye’s castle. When he said “If you lose again next time, just cut me”, Zoro’s “pride” has long been welded to the “future of the Straw Hat Pirates”.
3. Nami
The orange-haired navigator’s weather stick contains a flame that is more intense than thunderclouds: in the Alabasta chapter, she was made into a “living wax figure” by Mr.3, still holding the permanent pointer, crying to Luffy, “Luffy, help me” – this “map slave” who was once imprisoned by Arlong finally dared to turn her back to her partner. Now the route she draws not only points to Raftel, but also engraves the oath that “Nami will never be imprisoned again”.
4. Vinsmoke Sanji
The “chivalry” of the black-footed chef is a paranoia engraved into DNA: never hit a woman (even if he is kicked to death by Kalifa), and always save the last bite of food for his partner. In the Cake Island chapter, he broke into Big Mom’s territory alone, facing the crushing of the family’s “bloodline factor”, but smiled and said, “I am a man who wants to be a member of the Pirate King crew” – this pride in “ordinary origin” is hotter than the devil’s wind foot.
5. Usopp
The evolution of the “Sniper King” is the most heart-wrenching epic of growth: in the Judicial Island arc, he wore a mask and shot out the “Firebird Star”, shouting “I will break my promise and join this war” – the coward who had deceived himself with “5,000 troops” finally dared to face the pain of “losing the Merry”. When he shot out the “Homitz of Light” in Dressrosa, the “lie” he had lied to others had already become a sharp blade to protect his companions.
6. Tony Tony Chopper
The “inferiority” of the blue-nosed reindeer was crushed into courage by his companions: in the Horror Triangle, he swallowed three blue balls to save Luffy and turned into a “monster”, but after waking up, he cried and said, “I am still useless” – until Dr. Kuleha’s “Chopper is my son” resounded through the snow, this reindeer who “wanted to become a human” understood: the companions of the Straw Hat Pirates never needed him to “become a human”, but only needed him to be Chopper.
7. Franky
The body of the cyborg is filled with the most ardent “shipbuilding dream”: in the Judicial Island chapter, he shouted “Super! I want to join the Straw Hat Pirates” with his bare chest, and behind him was the burning Merry and the promise of “Let the Sunny carry his companions to the world”. Today, the lion-headed bow of the Sunny is not only engraved with the graffiti of the “Franky Family”, but also embedded with the full romance of “perverts” for adventure.
8. Brook
The skeleton of the Yomiuri Fruit keeps the longest “promise”: 50 years ago, the Rumba Pirates were wiped out in the Calm Belt, and he drifted for half a century just to play “Binx’s Wine” again. In the Big Mom chapter, he sneaked into the treasure house alone to steal the historical text, but the laughter in his bones was brighter than ever: “It’s so happy to die for the Straw Hat Pirates!” —— This loneliness that transcends life and death finally found its home in the Straw Hat Pirates.
2. Rewrite the adventure script in ONE PIECE Treasure Cruise
If the comic is about “watching the Straw Hat Pirates create legends”, then ONE PIECE Treasure Cruise (click to enter the official website) is about “letting you personally participate in the legend”——
1. Character bond: from “single-soldier combat” to “Straw Hat collaboration”
In the game, Luffy’s “Rubber Bazooka” can trigger Zoro’s “Demon Slash” collaboration (damage ×2.5), and Sanji’s “Devil Wind Kick” can resonate with Nami’s “Thunder Cloud” (additional shock damage). What’s even more amazing is the “Chopper First Aid Linkage”: when Chopper triggers a healing skill, Usopp’s “Sniper Cover” will be activated simultaneously (taunting the enemy and giving Chopper time to replenish blood)—perfectly reproducing the famous scene of “partners protecting each other”!
2. Plot Reproduction: From the “East Sea Chapter” to the “Final Chapter”, frame-by-frame restoration
In the game, you can:
Relive the “Horror Triangle Chapter” and watch Chopper swallow 3 blue balls and run away (manually trigger the “Monster Form” in battle, the damage is explosive but the health will be empty afterwards);
Challenge the “Legal Island Chapter” and let Usopp shoot the “Firebird Star” wearing the Sniper King Mask (unlock the hidden achievement “The Hero of Lies”);
Even experience the foreshadowing of the “Final Chapter” of the comics in advance (official linkage original level, hinting at the secret of Raftel).
3. Fun of development: Create an “exclusive Straw Hat Pirates”
Character evolution: Raise the initial “weak trio” (Luffy, Zoro, Nami) to “Gear 4 Luffy”, “Yanma Zoro”, and “Zeus Nami”, and witness their growth;
Limited Easter eggs: Draw “Wano Country・Onigashima Zoro” (Three Swords Style・Ghost Qi Nine Swords Style special effects), “Cake Island・Knight Sanji” (Devil Wind Kick with flame special effects);
Dock system: Collect materials to upgrade the Sunny and unlock the “General Franky” linkage skill (Franky transforms into a giant robot, full-screen AOE).
Conclusion: The adventure never ends, just waiting for you to board the ship
The charm of the Straw Hat Pirates has never been the triumphant song of “perfect heroes”, but “a miracle made up of a group of losers”: Luffy can’t swim, Zoro is a road idiot, Nami is greedy for money, Sanji is a pervert… But they use “defects” to create the toughest bond.
And “ONE PIECE Treasure Cruise” is to let you hold this bond in your hands – you can let Chopper’s healing spell save the whole team in the key battle, let Brook’s “Binx’s Wine” break the enemy’s control, and even let Franky’s Sunny smash the naval fortress.
When Luffy on the screen shouts “Rubber Machine Gun!” again, you will understand: the real adventure is never in the ending of the comics, but the moment you click “Set Sail”. Now, use this game to continue your “One Piece” legend!
