** To the fanbase's resentment, no increases to the maximum box size were implemented in Global for a long time, even though the game had progressed past the point were the Japanese version's box size was increased. This left international players with a 200 space inventory maximum, while Japan players could upgrade their box size to ''700''. Thankfully the maximum box space in Global was eventually increased to 300, giving players a lot more breathing room.

* JunkRare: A staggering amount of the rare story drops are badly outclassed by more easily obtained units. Players will quickly find the Double Drop Rate days for certain islands aren't worth paying attention to once they've gotten the single worthwhile unit there.
** Fuchsia Village: The Lord of The Coast has poor starting stats, even worse stat growth, a weak Special with a hilarioously long cooldown, and, to top it all off, a very high cost, so it won't even see short-term use by beginners who are "lucky" enough get it.
** Arlong Park: Choo and Hatchi are both stat weak and have poor Specials and Captain Abilities, even though the latter is an evolvable unit. Kuroobi is at least a mediocre in terms of stats, so he's not a terrible unit to use if he just so happens to drop, but he's not worth farming.
** Little Garden: The Unluckies have nothing going for them at all, and while Ms. Goldenweek boasts nearly the highest Recovery in the game and a decent special, her near-rock bottom Attack and HP, which are considered far more important stats, combined with the frequency with which she's pulled during Sugofests, has led to her becoming the poster girl for [[JunkRare Junk Rares]].
** Angel Island ~ Upper Yard: Every single boss on this island is statistically weak, and only Braham has a Special worth looking at, and even then, he's still pretty bad.

'''One Piece: Treasure Cruise''' is a FreeToPlay MobilePhoneGame published by NamcoBandai. The game is available as either the original Japanese version or the later Global version. Some events and updates may differ between the two, but they're mechanically the same game, with the Japanese version being about a year ahead in content.

* DifficultySpike: Arlong Park is generally regarded as the first major speed bump, especially since the resident DiscOneNuke, Ashura Zoro, is at a [[TacticalRockPaperScissors strategic disadvantage]] against Arlong, and the next commonly available nuke is Arlong himself.

** A fair number of possibilities, should one get lucky and pull something good from Rare Recruit. It's also possible to get a very strong early-game unit or two from the rotating fortnight events, as bosses still have a small chance on the lower difficulties.
** Asura Zoro is common, non luck-based one, given that he's easily evolved from a unit that everyone gets for free early on, has a very strong Captain Ability for DEX teams, and it's easy to double up on said ability through your friend list, seeing as most players have him.
** New players are often recommended to farm Arlong, as he has one of the highest attack stats in the game, even in the current Japanese version, and is a good captian for Slasher teams, which tend to be very effective the whole game. [[DiscOneFinalDungeon The point where Arlong becomes available]] generally makes him more of a Disc Two Nuke, but it's possible to get him much earlier if his fortnight event comes around.

* PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: The "kid" versions of some characters that become available during special events are usually just as good in a fight as you'd expect a child to be. [[AvertedTrope An exception to this]] is the kid version of Sabo, whose unique ability gives a niche role on certain PSY teams.

* BoringButPractical: Slasher teams, as there are a good number of solid, easily accessible Slasher characters, most anyone can get Mihawk, the strongest Slasher captain, since getting isn't necessarily dependent on luck, and Slashers are just plain strong. Even if you've put together some good non-Slasher teams, past a certain level, a solid sixth of your friend list will probably be Mihawk teams, so you'll always have a Slasher captain ready to borrow.

* SocializationBonus: There's the usual friend list recruitment system found in many mobile games, but there's also the Barrel Breaking game that requires another player within a few kilometers of you (or a GPS duping app) to play.

* GuideDangIt: Turtle Time happens one day a week, for two 30-minute periods ten hours apart, with the exact timing varying each week, and the timing further varying between users based on the sixth digit of their ID number. Safe to say, online calculators are your friend. As with most stamina-based games, consulting a guide generally saves the player a lot of wasted opportunities.

** Any mission can become this if your team is only just barely capable of completing it. One bad orb or one enemy that spawns with too low of a cooldown can turn your run sour. Similarly, if you're dependent on a particular or uncommon team to clear a level consistently, farming can become dependent which captains your friend list provides you.

* DiscOneNuke: A fair number of possibilities, should one get lucky and pull something good from Rare Recruit. Asura Zoro is common, non luck-based one, given that he's easily evolved from a unit that everyone gets for free early on, has a very strong Captain Ability for DEX teams, and it's easy to double up on said ability through your friend list, seeing as most players have him.

* InconsistentDub: Dialogue and skill names use the term "Neptunian" for Sea Kings, but one of Luffy's lines on Little Garden uses Sea King.

* NoExportForYou: To the fanbase's continuing resentment, no increases to the maximum box size have been implemented in Global, even though the game has progressed past the point were the Japanese version's box size was increased. This leaves international players with a 200 space inventory maximum, while Japan players can upgrade their box size to ''700''.

* AdaptationDistillation: Mihawk's presence in the Baratie arc is removed, meaning that Zoro's swords are never broken, he isn't hampered by any wounds during the Arlong Park arc, and he doesn't explicitly acquire Yubashiri and Sandai Kotetsu during the Loguetown arc.

* DiscOneNuke: A fair number of possibilities, should one get lucky and pull something good from Rare Recruit. Asura Zoro is common one, given that he's easily evolved from a unit that everyone gets for free early on, has a very strong Captain Ability for DEX teams, and it's easy to double up on said ability through your friend list, seeing as most players have him.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Character availability mostly is mostly dependent on whether appeared in the game's portrayal of the story, but some characters from later in the series are available from events or Rare Recruit. Most notably, events for post-training Coby and Helmeppo, and childhood versions of Ace, Luffy, and Sabo, both of which happened in Global before it had even gotten past Alabasta.

* NoSell: A recurring special is the ability to negate enemy attacks of a perticular attribute for one turn, generally the attribute that the user is weak to, making them valuable allies on a monotype team.

* PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: The "kid" versions of some characters that become available during special events are usually just as good in a fight as you'd expect a child to be. [[AvertedTrope An exception to this]] is the kid version of Sabo, whose unique ability gives a niche roleon certain PSY teams.

* PaletteSwap: The most basic grunt units tend to come five different colors, one for each attribute.

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Strength beats Dexterity, Dexterity beats Quick, and Quck Beats Strength. Psychic and Intelligence are strong against each other.
