Bandai Namco has announced a brand new Coliseum Mode for One Piece: Unlimited World Red.

According to the publisher, Unlimited World Red’s Coliseum Mode “will closely resemble the latest episodes of One Piece and bring heart-pounding action and glory to the ring as pirates fight relentlessly to earn top rankings.” Straw Hat Luffy and Trafalgar Law, a member of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, will team up to battle Donquixote Doflamingo – a character joining the battle for the first time. Law will also be a new playable in Coliseum Mode only.
