"Mini Update Patch Notes: Balance Changes and New Turtleback Cave Island Revealed"

Author : Nicholas Update : Mar 27,2025

The long-running anime-inspired pirate adventure Grand Piece Online is starting February with a bang, introducing a mini update that brings a host of new features for Roblox players to dive into. This update, although smaller in scope, introduces the Turtleback Cave island, the Kira fruit, and a slew of balance changes, ensuring that the game remains fresh and engaging.

Grand Quest Games, the developer behind this popular title, has shared the patch notes for this latest update. While the additions may seem modest, with a new island and fruit at the forefront, the team has also implemented a series of balance adjustments to ensure a smooth and fair gameplay experience across the board.

Players can now explore Turtleback Cave, located north of Rose Kingdom in the Second Sea. This new island introduces a formidable boss, Juzo the Diamondback, whose defeat rewards adventurers with the Turtleback Armor and Turtleback Helmet. There's also a 5% chance to obtain the Kira fruit upon defeating Juzo, alongside a lower chance to secure a Mythical Fruit Chest. The boss respawns every 15 minutes, offering multiple opportunities for players to challenge him. Additionally, a new player list feature now displays crew and player names, enhancing the social aspect of the game. The crew system has also seen some updates, with five new items added to the crew shop, an increase in crew shop slots from four to eight, a higher chance to obtain mythical items, and the ability to purchase both current and out-of-rotation Battle Pass outfits.

On the balance front, the Arena Storm has been replaced with a new countdown system, where winners are determined based on the damage dealt and the number of stocks remaining at the end of the countdown. Each remaining stock counts as 10k damage. Numerous fruits, including Tori, Pteranodon, Buddha, Venom, Yuki, Gold, Zushi, and more, have received specific adjustments to maintain a level playing field.

Since its launch in 2018, Grand Piece Online has continued to evolve, and this mini update demonstrates the team's commitment to keeping the game vibrant as it sails into 2025. The last significant update introduced Water and Travel changes on January 17, and while there's no set date for the next major update, players can expect more exciting content soon. In the meantime, check out our list of all active Grand Piece Online codes and the full mini-update patch notes below.
