How would it be a Splatoon Open World Game?

I imagine it'd be like a lighthearted GTA-esque third person shooter, where you have to take down DJ Octavio's goons as usual, through missions you have to find via exploration (shouldn't be too hard), as well as side missions where you help other inhabitants of Inkopolis.

There could be some vehicles, but they'd have to fit the Splatoon setting. EX: A motorcycle with sponge wheels that leaves ink as it moves, or a helicopter that spreads ink from it's rotor blades.

I was thinking of something like borderlands, several weapons with different attributes, create your inkling and play coop online or local, Levels, attributes, skills and several different locations and enemies.
