One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Goes Wild With Caesar, Kuma, And Blackbeard

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is adding a bunch of new characters from the series, and in Bandai Namco’s latest trailer for the game, they show three new playable villain characters in Caesar Clown, Bartholomew Kuma, and Blackbeard in action.

The mad scientist Caesar Clown was recently announced as a playable character in the game, and he’s shown using all kinds of different abilities including his pet poisonous gas weapon, Smiley, which he can summon and have them follow him around.

If his toxic weapons weren’t enough, he can use his Gasu Gasu no Mi abilities to cause explosive damage, and can even turn into his massive form that he gets after merging with Shinokuni. He’s also shown tossing candy drugs towards his enemies.

Bartholomew Kuma gave the Straw Hat Pirates a rough time during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, and he’s back once again in Pirate Warriors 3 with his abilities with his palm strikes, sumo-like stomps, and air bullets. He’s also shown blowing up his foes using his signature “Ursus Shock” attack.

Last but not least is Marshal D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard. While we still don’t know what he’s fully capable of, he’s shown using his dark Logia-type Yami Yami no Mi, along with the tremor abilities of the Gura Gura no Mi which he “inherited” from Whitebeard.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 will release this summer for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PC. The game launches earlier in Japan, on March 26, 2015. You can read about a couple other new features to the game in our earlier report.
