A prison could work. Some of the crew gets captured and so the prison group has to work to escape and the other group needs to get the ship fixed so that they could do a runner. I'd suggest that Hunter and Abigail would be in the group that's arrested, seeing how they probably have relatively high bounties.

Sounds good. Maybe the other group meets Eddie and Elliot, and that's when they join the crew to help them fix the ship/free their friends/escape.

[@hozan] It is up to everyone else, either way is fine with me. Just agree on something and I will add it to the crew's lore. 

Also I edited Anna's bio to include a brief thing about her stealing the Dawn Seeker. I may expand on it later. 

We can always exclude the giant unicorn, it seems kind of dumb for a pirate ship to me (or even and ex-marine ship) 
And we can see about repurposing some of the rooms, after all we may only need 1 or 2 sailor rooms, we will have no need for a pet room, and probably not a research room.

Wow, whichever marine owned that ship must have had rather refined taste. :D
Maybe in this universe, Bon is a marine :p

[@hozan] maybe the whilrpool is caused by someone with a devil fruit? Or an mechanism from the ancient civilization that somehow turned on and now we have to deactivate it

If it's a marine prison island, then it could just be whoever is in charge has a whirlpool devil fruit?
