Mini Update: Balance Changes and New Turtleback Cave Island Revealed

The long-running anime-inspired pirate adventure Grand Piece Online is starting February with a bang by introducing a mini update for Roblox players. This update brings the new Turtleback Cave island and the Kira fruit, among other exciting additions. Developer Grand Quest Games released patch notes for this smaller content update, showcasing a mix of new content and crucial balance changes to ensure a seamless gameplay experience.

The new Turtleback Cave island, located north of Rose Kingdom in the Second Sea, introduces players to a fresh challenge with the boss Juzo the Diamondback. Defeating this formidable foe rewards players with the Turtleback Armor and Turtleback Helmet. There's also a 5% chance to snag the Kira fruit and a lower chance to obtain a Mythical Fruit Chest. Juzo respawns every 15 minutes, providing multiple opportunities for players to test their skills. Additionally, a new player list now displays crew and player names, and the crew shop has been enhanced with five new items, eight slots, and the ability to purchase both current and out-of-rotation battle pass outfits.

On the balance front, Grand Piece Online has made significant adjustments. The Arena Storm has been replaced with a new countdown system, where winners are now determined by damage dealt and stocks remaining at the end of the countdown. Various fruits, including Tori, Pteranodon, Buddha, Venom, Yuki, Gold, Zushi, and others, have received tweaks aimed at leveling the playing field and enhancing gameplay dynamics.

Since its launch in 2018, Grand Piece Online continues to thrive, with this mini update demonstrating the team's ongoing commitment to enhancing the game as it sails into 2025. The last major update, which introduced Water and Travel changes on January 17, indicates that players won't have to wait too long for more content. In the meantime, check out our list of all active Grand Piece Online codes and the full mini-update patch notes below.
