^So, it looks like you can make your own custom pirate crew in this game..... maybe this could satisfy the crowd who nominates every single new character that appears as the next crewmate in the main series, heh.

So what genre is this game? I probably wouldn't mind if the combat system is based off of Yo-Kai Watch though I would prefer the gameplay to be similar to the Skylanders franchise. I still await a One Piece game that will feature all characters including the final story arc much like Dragonball Xenoverse.

I'm not actually sure what to think of it... judging by what they've said and what the screenshot looks like... I'm getting a Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi feel from it... and we aaaall know how that turned out.

But honestly... the last few handheld fighting games were pretty good, so there's still some hope atleast. I also can't tell from the screenshots as to how well the sprites are...
