Plot:

It is the dawn of a new age of exploration. The first half of the Grand Line remains wild and untamed, the waters beyond still uncharted and spoken of only in rumors. You are one of the bold and intrepid adventurers who have set out to conquer the Grand Line, branded a "pirate" by the World Government for choosing to live a life free of rules and consequences. The legends that could have been, should have been, men such as Gold Roger and Edward Newgate, have fallen at the hands of a relentless marine offensive. 

A grand summit has been called by the former apprentice of Gold Roger, "Red Haired" Shanks. The greatest pirates of the age converge to discuss how to deal with the World Government onslaught. Some preach every man for himself, others to unite. Unbeknownst to them, however, there is a traitor in their midst. Suddenly the marines descend on the summit with a vast armada led by all three Admirals, their aim to crush piracy once and for all.

As the story begins you are one of but a few lucky survivors trying to escape a hellish battlefield. The best and brightest on both sides have fallen in a titanic struggle. Yet there is still hope. Those that have survived against all odds may once again ignite the spark that will lead to the great age of pirates!
