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.



You may begin creating your characters now! After you've done so, I'll choose who I think will fit the introductory arc the best, and PM you about your arc.

@Asura You can be at the paradise level if you like, you just have to give me a good reason your character is in West Blue. West Blue, however, is overall a stronger sea than East Blue (the weakest), being adjacent to the New World.

@DemousThey don't HAVE to, though they would ideally be able to contribute something to the crew. What's your character's skillset?

The closest was "swordsman" as my character is a general weapons master.

Not that hard to make my character a cook though...

@Blackstripe Are we allowed to make races different from what has been shown in the series? What I'm planning to go for would look like your typical human, they're just bald (as in can't grow hair on their scalp) and live longer (probably around 100-150).

@PrewigaYeah, humans can live pretty long anyhow...I generally would rather people not make up species. You could just play a long-lived bald guy, though. >.>

@Blackstripe Oh, sure thing. I'll just do something like a tribe or some sort of social label.

As for positions, I think my character would just be some sort of cabin boy, stow away, and/or nuisance.

Interesting concept. Like @Sunbather from the interest check thread, I was going to join another One Piece roleplay, but it died and I'm not sure how good the replacement that is being thought of will be yet.

I'm interested in this, but my one character idea is a self-taught doctor with the Mera Mera no Mi, which would be against your rules and overpowered for someone just beginning anyway. Actually, I could remove the devil's fruit and have him acquire the fruit later, but really it would just depend on what the needs of the roleplay are.

Oh, one other thing I forgot to say: no D's besides my character, please. The thing about people with the Will of D is that they don't really like "following" others. They're inherently leaders who, when pirates, form their own crew. The only exception was Ace, and he had to fail at killing Whitebeard a thousand times before he would submit. Garp, while a Marine, refused promotion to Admiral because it would mean less freedom for him due to having to be at the beck and call of the World Nobles. Law only followed Doflamingo as a child, etc.

Since we're all in one crew, I think it's important to not have too many chefs in the kitchen, so to speak.

@ZapdosYour character could gain the fruit at later time, when Logia wouldn't be so untouchable. My character uses Fishman Karate so a fire logia wouldn't be an unbeatable opponent for her, but any other enemy we fought early on wouldn't have much of a defense against it.

That could work. I actually imagined him using the fruit because I thought it'd be an interesting way to supplement his doctor skills, not as a way to be overpowered.

I might have to see what portions of the CS from the other One Piece RP can be adapted to this one!
