One Piece Odyssey – The kingdom of Alabasta is also on board

One Piece Odyssey does not just want to retell the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates gang, but to deliver a completely new story. So I was all the more surprised when the latest trailer featured a crew member that we hadn’t seen in years. In the JRPG there is an obviously emotional reunion with Vivi in ​​her native Alabasta.

Journey through memory

But before One Piece fans hope for a return of the princess to the crew: As is also revealed in the trailer, this is just a memory. After the Straw Hat Pirates are stranded on the mysterious island of Waford at the beginning of the game, they first lose their powers. To regain them, they must journey into their own memories with the help of the islander Lim – and that means liberating the kingdom of Alabasta once again while encountering familiar locations and characters. There’s even a reunion with the gang’s first ship, the Going Merry.

Since the Straw Hats have already lived through the events in Alabasta, the question naturally arises as to whether and to what extent they can influence the events of the memories. At least it looks like we can freely explore the desert kingdom.

Reunion with more characters?

It is also quite possible that we will meet other well-known characters in One Piece Odyssey who are hidden in the memories of the Straw Hat Pirates. So maybe there will even be a reunion with Portgas D. Ace and Co. But we still have to wait and see which characters and memories await us. We’ll know for sure no later than January 13, 2023, when the game will be released for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Seeing Vivi and her homeland again after a long time immediately made me nostalgic. After all, the Alabasta arc was one of the best early arcs in the manga for me, and when Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates parted ways at the end, it was quite an emotional moment.

So it’s no wonder that a few trailer scenes are enough to immediately awaken these feelings in me. I, for one, am incredibly excited to see Vivi again (even if it’s just a memory) and hope to see more old characters in the game.
