It has been eleven years since the climactic battle between Monkey D. "Strawhat" Luffy and Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach.

After having been thought dead by many following the battle of Marineford, he took the world by storm. For an entire year the reunited Strawhats sailed the dangerous seas of the New World, battling the likes of Donquixote Doflamingo, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido, to name but a few.

But it was only at the legendary island of Raftel that the Strawhats would meet their final enemy. It was there that the Strawhat Grand Fleet clashed with the armada of Blackbeard, one of the four Emperors. Many on both sides that day would perish as the two captains battled one another with an intensity never before witnessed. Finally, Teach and Luffy's strongest attacks met with a world-shattering impact that engulfed both of them in a blinding light.

When everything cleared, neither of them remained.

With their leaders having vanished without a trace, the remnants of the Grand Fleet and Blackbeard pirates likewise dispersed. Many of the major players within the world stage were now gone, but the legends and stories they inspired drove entire new generations of pirates to take to the sea.

Now, more than a decade after the conclusion of that titanic battle, one lone pirate strikes out to leave their mark on the world.




Rules:


1) No Godmodding
2) No Logia, Mythical Zoan, or overpowered Paramecia (at the start, anyhow)
3) No Haki (again at the start)
4) No ridiculously evil characters. We're pirates, we pillage and plunder, but we've still got standards.
5) No giants or any other species that would have trouble fitting on our ship. That would just be too much of a pain to work around.
6) No new species. Please stick to canon races when making your characters.





Check the character tab to see which crew positions have been claimed already. Even if all have been claimed, you may still find a unique place within the crew!

Backstory is way longer than I planned it to be. Yikes.

@ReflectionI'm very sorry, but I would honestly rather not have non-canon species be introduced into the RP.

@Blackstripe Have you never heard of a Red Panda before? (I ask because it's not a fairly common animal in some parts of the world.) One Piece is full of animals. Like Reindeer, which Tony Tony Chopper is. Or Bepo. He's a bear. There is a talking bird in the New World. One Piece as a series is not new to the concept of animals being able to talk. And nor is the idea of a Red Panda that outrageous when other animals like gators, birds, and what not exist and go around freely. Red Pandas aren't even a new species. They're an actual thing.
I'm not mad, just confused at where the line in "New Species" is being made and drawn. If I made him into a talking bird, would that be more palatable? A bear? It's not a brand new species with unique powers. It's an actual animal that could very well be found in One Piece.

@ReflectionWhat? I...yes, I know of Red Pandas. >.>

Your character is a new species because you simply made him a talking animal from an island of similar talking animals. You didn't say they were Minks or anything. If your character had been a Mink, that would've been one thing...but clearly he isn't a Mink since he is fully an animal rather than a humanoid with animal features. His ability to speak doesn't come from a Devil Fruit like Chopper, and until Oda shows otherwise I'm going to assume Big News Morgan is also a Mink...although, since he is a bird, he may be his own species. Regardless it hasn't been elaborated on yet, and so until it is I'm not allowing any birdmen.

@Blackstripe If the Mink thing is your issue, I can fix that up in a minute. Honestly forgot about Minks since I haven't read One Piece in a good while.

@ReflectionYeah. There is no species of pure animals that just happen to talk in One Piece. The closest thing that exists are the Mink, who are human-size people with animalistic features. They also have the electro ability, so...yeah, enjoy that!

@AcetheKiddOh. Well, after reviewing your posting history I'm afraid I don't really feel confident that you have the level of writing experience we're looking for in this RP. Nothing against you personally, of course. :)
