[B][I]Wealth, fame, power... Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to seas.[/I][/B]

[CENTER][B][I]'You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!'[/I][/B][/CENTER]

[B][I]These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era'![/I][/B] 

[B][I]In this time known as the Great Pirate Era, several things have ocurred. Countless pirates fight over the treasure known as One Piece, and the Navy goes through great efforts to see those same people imprisoned. People have been named Emperors, Warlords and whatnot, and even then, people still search for the one and only One Piece inside the Grand Line. Veterans and rookies alike, all of them have gone into the Grand Line to search for that great treasure. All of them are impressive in their own right, but what has impressed the Navy the most are the super rookies suddenly appearing all over the world. They are becoming more and more of a threat as time goes on and they become stronger. 

This is the story of a certain group of Marines, in the pursuit of an infamous group of pirates. What will they encounter as they travel through the seas?![/I][/B]

All right! I just started One Piece a while ago (I'm still at episode 400-something, though), and I've just been CRAVING a One Piece RP. Even so, though, people often tend to forget these easily, so I'd like this to be a small group RP with some dedicated people that won't drop out in a long time, at least, not drop out before things get interesting. Then again, people seem to come to these kinds of RP's like flies, so that was a short lived dream. xD Still, the RP will follow as long as there are even if a few dedicated people. However, this particular interest check is to see if anyone would like to be part of the Marine group that will continually be at odds with the pirate crew composed by me and some other players. These marines may be enemies or rivals helping each other depending on the situation, so take that into account!

This RP is set in a One Piece AU with none of the original characters in here. Meaning.....! Yes, you can have any Devil Fruit you want! As long as it isn't too OP, that is. Like the Yami Yami No Mi, or the Pika Pika no Mi, or shite like that. Even so, Logia fruits are currently banned. Oh, and also, original Devil Fruits! Yes, you can make your own Devil Fruit! As long as it has reasonable weaknesses and all. 

As the rivals of our own pirate crew, you also have some roles to fill out to man your ship. 

There will be a:

[list]
[*]Captain
[*]Navigator - Wendell Schwimmer
[*]Doctor
[*]Cook
[*]Shipwright
[*]Sniper - Shino
[*]Swordsman - Zagerus
[*]Musician
[*]Entertainer
[*]Tailor
[*]Quartermaster; Crimmy
[*]Powder Monkey
[/list]

Of course, if you'd like some other kind of role that isn't here, you are free to come up with one. The ones that are necessary are highlighted in the list as well. Also, having a role like those does not necessarily mean that you cannot fight too. You can also double in characters if you want, we may need to do so in the end, though. I will choose the captain of this marine crew afteer seeing all the characters too, so we can be fair.
