The Romance Dawn anime remake retells the story of Romance Dawn V.1. This remake occurs after the Thriller Bark Arc and before the Sabaody Archipelago arc in the anime series. As such, all 9 members of the Straw Hat crew are present, as opposed to the original story, which only featured Luffy. It was released for the 40th JUMP Super Anime Tour on November 24, 2008.[1] The DVD released on January 31, 2009 was available for order by email only.

PlotEdit
The Straw Hat Pirates run out of food, and Luffy was sent out on the Mini-Merry, only to get lost and drift off course. Luffy arrives at an island and ventures out in search of replenishing their provisions. He encounters a girl named Silk, who has mistaken Luffy as a pirate from Crescent-Moon Galley's crew. Galley, who was tied up on his ship by Luffy, has threatened her town and Luffy promises Silk that he'll help her defeat him. After a short fight, Luffy makes short work of the Crescent-Moon Galley, while explaining to Silk about his abilities. After Galley runs off, Luffy remembers he left the Mini-Merry tied to Galley's ship. On his way back, the Mayor and various townspeople mistake Luffy for Galley. They proceed to subdue him and tie him up. As he tries to explain himself, Galley interferes and attacks Silk. Galley, Silk and Luffy trade words about the meaning of treasure. Galley proceeds to throw Luffy's straw hat into the ocean. Luffy stretches to get it by extending his head, but falls short and into the water. Silk dives in, rescues him, and curses Galley for sailing away. As they leave, Galley orders an attack on the island, destroying several buildings. Luffy slingshots himself toward Galley's ship, only to be shot out of the air by a cannon ball.
Falling towards the water, Luffy is saved by the Thousand Sunny and the other Straw Hats. Usopp, Sanji, Nami, and Zoro berate Luffy for being lost, while a fight breaks out on Galley's ship. After some fighting, Galley is given a wanted poster of Luffy, comparing Luffy's 300,000,000 Beli to his small 5,000,000. Luffy proceeds to wreck Galley's ship with his Gear 3rd, Giganto Axe (oddly he doesn't shrink afterwards like he usually does after using Gear Third). Luffy then grabs Galley and lands on a piece of his wrecked ship while his crew sails away with the Crescent Moon's provisions and treasure. Galley swears he will kill Luffy someday, who ignores him and hits him with Gomu Gomu no Pistol, sending Galley flying into the distance. After the battle, the Straw Hats give the townspeople the treasure they took from Galley's ship to rebuild their town while the crew sails on. Silk paints a Straw Hat next to a rainbow on her rebuilt diner in honor of Luffy as the special ends.

There wasn't any need to bump this, but yes OVAs are 'specials' for the anime and not actually video games.

As for One Piece games, there are tons but this isn't one of them. If you were posting One Piece games, then it would be something like Pirate Warriors or the Unlimited series.
There is a One Piece game for PSP called Romance Dawn. It comes out in December in Japan. I'd also hardly call a months bump a thread necro.

It's true that a new One Piece game is coming out called Romance Dawn, but reading the description of the OP it's clearly referring to the special episode, not the video game.

Eh, I see what you mean. I was pointing out that the post wasn't really necessary, that's all.
Why would they make it for PSP. I dont even have one any more.
Because Japanese game development doesn't bend to the will of your own personal situation? lol PSP is a very successful platform in Japan, and constantly gets new releases. Namco Bandai (this game's publisher) in particular seems dead set on supporting it for a while yet.
