First, Akainu calls Marines to help him and you control Ace. Ace puts up a far better fight than in canon, defeating all the Marines and softening Akainu up before his canonical death.
Then it's Luffy's turn, who can't hurt the Logia directly, so he outsmarts him by throwing chunks of ice.
Akainu gets serious and burns the entire area, but Luffy learns Armament Haki and fights Akainu fairly, regaining the upper hand.
Finally, with Ace's spirit backing him up, Luffy uses a Gomu Gomu No Giant Gatling and defeats the evil Admiral.

During the "Return to Thriller Bark" Arc, Moria is on the verge of being defeated by the heroes, but he summons even more zombies to his aid. "The longer the battle continues, the more zombies I can summon." Cue a stream of water one-shotting them all. Jimbei arrives and says: "It seems zombies don't like salt." Moria starts attacking Jimbei to steal his shadow, but he parries the attack and one-shots Moria with a Shark Karate Strike.
During the Return to Punk Hazard Arc, Akainu arrives and the Straw Hat/Whitebeard Alliance is cornered by the Fleet Admiral's strength. Just when a few members are about to be melted....the attack freezes. Aokiji appeared. And his response to Akainu asking why he's there? I missed seeing your face..
Brook shrugging off Mihawks's attacks count as one.
During the Marineford War, Akainu is driven into a corner by the full force of the Straw Hat/Whitebeard alliance and prepare to counter attack against the Whitebeard pirates. Ace comes to block the incoming attack, saving a lot of his crew in the process as he himself gets hurt by the magma attack. Luffy come to his aid, only for Akainu to leap on both Ace and Luffy with a magma punch. When everyone expect Ace to suffer the same fate he did in the manga... Whitebeard pulls a Big Damn Heroes, stabs Akainu's with his spear and counterattacks with a Quake Punch to the guts. Ouch.
Villainous example, but Blackbeard brainwashes Whitebeard with the help of his allies. He can even get him killed in the normal ending.
Even in the normal ending, the Straw Hats team up and defeat Teach, who had started the final battle with a massive advantage.
In the good ending, Teach puts up an impressive fight, but in the end he gets what he deserves courtesy of a massive pirate alliance.

The Final Chapter, which is PW3's game-exclusive rendition of the Dressrosa arc given that at the game's launch, the arc was still going. It follows the canon right up to the point where Law's negotiation attempt in Green Bit. Following that, Kizaru has teamed up with Fujitora to capture the Straw Hats/Law alliance while the alliance itself is aided by Kuzan, Luffy fights Burgess for Ace's Flame-Flame fruit when Sabo arrives and takes on Burgess himself. When the Straw Hats go to destroy the SMILE factory, they find none other than Blackbeard himself guarding the factory as a result of an alliance with Doflamingo. It all culminates in an epic showdown against Doflamingo in the throne room which ends with Doflamingo making clones of himself, each of which is taken out by one of the Straw Hats, Law, Sabo and Kuzan, ending with Luffy and Sabo launching a combined Red Hawk/Fire Fist to end Doflamingo for good. No Problem with Licensed Games indeed!
Pirate Warriors 4
Really, the entire premise of the Wano Country Arc. Luffy and the others barely escape from Whole Cake Island. Luffy lands on Wano and challenges Kaido right away. He's defeated and thrown away to jail at Onigashima. News of Luffy's arrest comes to the Marine, Bartolomeo, Cavendish, Kuzan & Sabo's ears who rushed to Wano to support Luffy. Fujitora issues a secret order to Smoker and Tashigi to help the Straw Hat and lessen a possible war between all Yonkos. It was Blackbeard who leaked the news. His plan is to have all of them fight Kaido & Big Mom ( Who chased after Luffy, bringing Brulee & Katakuri with her. )
Kuzan warns Katakuri that Blackbeard might be plotting something. Under orders from Big Mom, Katakuri saves Luffy & Kid from Onigashima but they're surrounded by Jack and his goons. Katakuri, Kid and Luffy takes down Jack. After taking down Jack, Katakuri leaves and reports to Big Mom. Luffy won't run away and will confront Big Mom when the times come. Luffy and Kid search for Kaido and meets with Big Mom, who is thrown away by Kaido. They fight Kaido, are defeated again and saved by Sabo who brings them to the Sunny, and the Straw Hat Fleet is there too. The Blackbeard pirates lands on Wano. Teach orders Burgess to kill Kaido during his sleep while he's drunk.
Kid and Luffy are knocked out and everyone else ( All the remaining Straw Hat + Kid, Law, Sabo, Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Carrot, Smoker & Tashigi ) fend for themselves when they're under attack by Big Mom pirates who themselves are attacked by Kaido's army. Momonosuke pleases for Luffy to stay down, that he can't bear the sight of anyone dying. Luffy scolds him by saying a shogun can't be looking this downtrodden. But he promised and will bring Kaido down. Kin'emon reminds Momonosuke that to stand and help your friends and fight along them is the essence of what it means to be the King of the Pirates. Luffy brings the fight to the Big Mom pirates and takes down Katakuri again with his friends and Brulee too. Ending with an epic showdown with Big Mom.
Brook initiates the offensive, slicing Big Mom. Usopp feeds Zeus a Weather Egg and Nami uses a powered up Thunder Breed Tempo via Zeus to fry Big Mom. Robin grows giant hands and grabs Big Mom to prevent her from moving. General Franky and Chopper attacks from the side to forces her to block them. Luffy, Sanji and Zoro unleashes their strongest attacks and finally takes her down as she is pushed away and falls to the sea below. Blackbeard comes to finish her but Kaido interrupts him. He foiled Teach's attempt to kill him and his men stands dead on the ground. Burgess escaped with his life but the operation is a failure. The idea of fighting two Yonkos isn't really tempting to Teach and he runs away with his crew. Brulee and Katakuri rescue Big Mom via a Mirror and Kaido is left alone. Leaving only the Straw Hat alliance.
The entire team + Kuzan soon finds themselves fighting Kaido all at once. Kaido isn't really threatened but he turns into a Dragon and attempts to take down the fleet. Luffy and his team keeps him busy enough he can't. Then he tries to do the same on Luffy, this time Carrot, Sanji, Zoro, Law and the others stops him. Eventually Kuzan suggests a combination to create an opportunity to finish him. Carrot turns Sulong, fries Kaido on his head followed by Kid firing countless metal chunks at him and Kuzan freezing him. Luffy, with Momonosuke on his back charges at Kaido who fires his Blast Breath at him but is countered by Sabo's fire shield and Law brings him and Kin'emon to cut Kaido's Blast Breath ( Since Kin'Emon can cut fire ). Enough time for Luffy to uses his strongest attack yet, Gum Gum Dragon Culverin and finally takes Kaido down. No Problem with Licensed Games again!
