Before we get into the nitty-gritty, we gotta get things straight right off the bat; this is gonna be an Isekai set in the world of One Piece. Its been a couple of months since I've began binging on both, hence the motivation to start this up.
This is mainly gonna be an interest check since the chances of others liking this idea might not be that good. Anyway, too everyone an overview of what I'm trying to do here, I'll just list down what I'll assume to be the FAQs for this kind of story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of plot we'll we be having?
I'd say semi-sandbox. Major plot points will exist, but the stuff in between will be based on the decision of the players.
How many crews are there gonna be?
I'll say one for now. I'll be setting a cap on the number of participants to see if this could last.
Who's gonna be the captain?
This part's a little iffy for now, but I'll have to go with myself. It'll be easier to keep things progressive. Nothing kills a roleplay faster than stagnation, am I right?
Will our characters have knowledge of One Piece as a series?
Nope. Everyone will be clueless since One Piece wouldn't be something that exists in the reality they came from. Avoids people being know-it-alls and whatnot.
How strong will we be at the start?
Like any good Isekai, everyone starts off somewhat capable, but nothing too overpowered. Having the potential to be though, is always an option.
Any hard limitations on characters?
I wanna say yes and no. Part of One Piece's selling point is its wackiness, but being too strong at the start kinda makes things boring. For now, the limits I'm setting would be having no Giants and if you do choose a powerful Devil Fruit or ability, it'll be nerfed at the start. You know, gotta start from the bottom.
What kind of system are we gonna work with?
Don't wanna be too strict here since I want this to be more fun and about the adventure. I don't want you guys to focus on the numbers to much. That's gonna be for me behind the scenes. It'll mostly be me telling you that you've acquired certain skills and abilities.
What about the cannon stuff? Do those things exist?
Cannon characters won't exist, everything else, will most likely will. This would include organizations, islands, titles, worldly figures, et cetera. As for the timeline, it'll be at the start of the series. So its fair to assume that you'll be this story's Straw Hats.

Well, that's all I've got for now. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to post. I'll be editing this post overtime and adding stuff like the premise, a character sheet template, or an example of a character.
