One Piece: An Era of Anarchy
The World Government has declared war against the current ruling Yonkou after Akainu's sudden announcement that all pirates having bounties over 100million should be rounded up and executed publicly. Some speculates that the announcement was a new propaganda thought up by the Tenryubito to finally seize total power over the world, but others suspects that an even bigger force was behind it. Although the idea seem absurd at first, however, with the not so discreet amassing of Pacifitas and powerful devils fruit users, the Government has been successful, executing over 150 pirates including those already been caught and locked up in Impel Down, and all having bounties over 100million belly in plain public. Threatened by the turn of events, the Yonkou was forced to form a temporary alliance to strike back. The collision of both powers has tipped the world balanced immensely, and thus started the most anarchic era in history.
Current state of the New World:
The New World has become the most wretched anarchic zone ever known to man, clash between pirates and marines were quite frequent in this region that it has become a common sight. Marines and Pacifitas are everywhere. They scourge the great seas, engaging any ship flying a black flag regardless of their law status. Common folks prefers to huddle in their own homes, while others choose to stay at certain designated evacuation sites provided by their Government. Crime rates grew astronomically, while resources are being hoarded by the World Government.
News about the Yonkou:
After his encounter with the three admirals and Akainu himself, Kaido has finally fallen. His remaining troops has scattered wounded in the New World, some joined the remaining Yonkous, while the others choose to stay hidden. This has been a huge blow to the pirate side, and so to ensure their power, the Yonkou has been secretly holding councils deciding as to who would replace Kaido's place, and fast. Many rookies has risen in terms of rank and fame within a short span of time, even making it to the short list of candidates. The ascension of a new Yonkou is to be announced in three days time.
The RP takes place during the preamble of the war, and goes deeper into the cause and finally to the war itself (hopefully) as we progress. So you can choose side between the Pirates and the Marines (or both). You can create your own pirate crew as long as there is a balanced number of devils fruit users, superhuman, and normal crews. I suggest you collaborate with other players if you plan to do so. Like wise if you want to make your own Marine corp, make sure the players are also balanced. For now I will allow 2-3 characters per player max. If you have a specific role you want to play in the RP, just PM me so we can discuss it first.

My Character
Name: Nicholas Rigel
Gender: Male
Side: Marine
Crew: Marine G-5
Position: Rear Admiral
Appearance:
Type: Devil's Fruit user
Devil's Fruit: Hoshi Hoshi no Mi (Star Star Fruit)
Fruit Type: Paramecia
Abilities: He can shoot powerful plasma rays from various parts of his body (hands, fingers, feet, even from his eyes, and mouth, etc). He can also use energy blast to propel himself around granting him superspeed, temporary suspension in mid air, and also additional strength to his kicks and punches. His attacks are highly flammable and tends to explode upon contact. Supernova is his most powerful attack where his whole body ignites and then explodes, radiating a powerful wave of energy that scorches everything within a certain radius. But after the use of this technique, he becomes very exhausted and would not be able to fight again after a few hours.
Personality: At first glance, Nicholas appears to be pretty harmless. He is very energetic, while being enigmatic at the same time. He loves to give people funny names, and teases them a lot. Although he acts as happy-go-lucky, and is very carefree, Nicholas is also quite perceptive and a very skilled fighter. Which why his colleagues calls him the "Demon of Light" because when in battle, Nicholas appears to put on a calm yet a quite tougher (and fiercer) demeanor.
Bio: He came from the island of Pol in East Blue. The island was supposed to be the center of astrological studies, and for thousands of years, it was being inhabited by astronomers and scientist to study heavenly bodies. Both Nicholas's parents were scientists in this island. They were happy for a time, satisfied with what they do and the sense of peacefulness the island gives them, until all of that was taken away when a certain group of pirates invaded Pol. It was the longest night for little Nicholas, the slaughter was endless, and when he thought he couldnt take it all, the Marines came. The pirates were wiped out in minutes, but unfortunately, there were too many that were been killed, his parents included. With nowhere to go, one Marine accepted the responsibility of taking care of him. He was taken to base G-5 and was trained to be a Marine. He got his devils fruit ability back in Pol when he got hungry one day, he searched their house and then found a strange star shaped fruit with spiral markings on its skin. It looked tasty, so he ate it, only to found out that what he ate is a devils fruit, the Hoshi Hoshi no Mi.
