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.
