One Piece: Grand Adventure is a video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube Based on the popular anime and manga series One Piece. Unlike the majority of One Piece video games, Grand Adventure was developed in the United States. It was created as a sequel to One Piece: Grand Battle! and its gameplay remains mostly unchanged. Grand Adventure adds more characters, levels, and features. The game was released in The United States of America, Korea, Australia, Spain, and the U.K. but not in Japan.

Adventure mode

The main mode of Grand Adventure is Adventure Mode, in which the player must beat 10 levels to complete an adventure. The player uses the Going Merry to sail the Grand Line and visit various islands. On these islands, the player will engage in combat against other characters. Characters defeated this way may join your character's crew, or play in various mini-games. Characters gain experience points by being used and can level up, increasing certain stats of the character (HP, attack, defense, etc.).

There are a total of 24 playable characters. There is a total of 51 support characters which the player can choose in addition to their playable character. While the support characters are not controllable, they are able to help the player when called out. There are six types of support characters: Dash, Jump, Ride, Recovery, Gun, and Area. Each type of support character has its own advantages and disadvantages in battle.

Each character is assigned support characters. Every character has at least one, but none of them have more than three. In some game modes, the support characters the player can choose from are limited to the ones assigned to that specific character. In most modes, all unlocked support characters are available. There are some exceptions where a support character can never be used by any character other than the one it was assigned to. In some cases, a support character does not even have a character that it is assigned to.
