One Piece: Gigant Battle! is a Nintendo DS game published by Bandai. It was first announced in the second Weekly Shonen Jump issue released in December 2009. It focuses from the Sabaody Archipelago Arc to the Marineford Arc, but contain content from previous arcs as well. The gameplay seems to be similar to Jump Ultimate Stars from what has been demonstrated in videos and screenshots. The game was released on September 9, 2010. There will also be a special edition of this game (seen in the promo scan to the very right) which will come with some cards that unlock in-game content and can also be used in a One Piece arcade game, One Py Berry Match, which is part of Bandai's "Carddas" series of games.

In some ways, this is a downgrade from the style that Ganbarion developed for Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars. The depth of each character feels fairly light, which makes sense since there is only one attack button now, and the roster itself feels a bit small and focused on one arc.
With that said, I still enjoyed the challenge-based story mode and finding the secrets that each level contained. I also found the gameplay to be fun regardless of the simplistic controls. Also, the pixel art in this game is stunning and deserves to be recognized as it is definitely one of the best I've ever seen.
I say check this out if you like One Piece and want a bit of easy-going fun. This was actually released in English, so finding an easy-to-understand copy won't be too difficult.
