One Piece: New Pirate Era
Come Aboard!
Over 200 years has passed since the time of the Straw Hat Pirates. They never found the One Piece. No one did. It’s existence faded into myths and legends over the years that followed and the great pirate era came to an end without any fanfare or chaos about it in the slightest. No one grieved its passing because the world became more peaceful for a time. However, among the marines, there were those who wanted a return to the times of old, who wanted pirates to pursue because to them, it was part of their identity. A branch of the marines broke off into an organization whose name is not known, but who work in the shadows and within whispered breaths to bring back a world that allows for men seeking power to pursue it through the marines, through the world government and through piracy. The marines themselves are aware of an insurrection growing, but even they can’t identify what’s being planned.
Then Mirestone happened. An undercover marine planted the seeds for the world to hear rumors that a map had been located detailing the location of the long forgotten but legendary One Piece, and the rumors took with much enthusiasm. Every living, breathing pirate made their way to the island in an attempt to get their hands on it and in the process, they got themselves sucked into the biggest Buster Call the West Blue had ever seen. Many pirate lives were lost that day. However, the unprovoked extreme action taken by the marines - although it was sparked by a smaller collection within the marines - triggered a New Pirate Era. Pirates rallied around those that died as martyrs and took up arms once again, seeking to find power wherever they can to defeat the menace that seeks their extinction.
In the aftermath of Mirestone emerges Captain Scarlet Johannah Indigrid. She was one of the few survivors after the Buster Call that pirates collectively refer to as the Mirestone Massacre. There never was a map. It was a set-up from the start. However, Scarlet Johannah Indigrid has her own plan for getting back at the organization that dared plot her demise. She’s going to find that legendary treasure that they dared to taunt her with, and she knows that as the Pirate Queen, she’ll be able to amass an army that no one can defeat. Only then will the world be safe for the pursuit of freedom in the best ways known to man - by sailing the seas and scavenging the remains of the destruction only a world government could cause.
But first, she needs a crew. After washing up on the shore of Lil’ Amyth, a small island in the West Blue that was ravaged by a tsunami resulting from a bomb in Mirestone, she starts to seek out those who might aid her. Everyone’s got a reason to hate the marines nowadays so that shouldn’t be hard. Then they’ll need a ship. It’s only after that that the real adventure begins.

A Bit ‘o Background
Hello Friends! I’m Lady Warlock. I’ve been GMing fandom based RPs here on and off for at least five years and most of them have had at least moderate success. This roleplay, like all of my other projects, will be AU in nature. Rather than erasing canon for this one, we’re just in the future. There might be some improved technology at some points, but I don’t think that’ll come into play too much. Although canon characters did exist, you cannot play the descendant of any canon character. All character submissions should be completely original. This will be a detailed rp with each post expected to be one five sentence paragraph at a bare minimum. Everyone will be expected to post weekly.
I tend to like going a route of collaborative storytelling and although I do have plans for overarching story arcs, I do also like to include story arcs meant for character development and these tend to work best when I collaborate with various players along the way so my inbox is always open for story arcs you’d like to play through for the sake of developing your character further.
Lastly, everyone always asks about devil fruits. I grant devil fruits to highly detailed characters that do not function without said devil fruit. There is no set writing limit that I look for; rather, I’m seeking originality and something quirky that feels like it belongs in the One Piece world. Individuals are welcome to PM me about devil fruit ideas and I can give tentative yes’s or no’s but I will not give final answers until I see the finished character sheet. Yes, this does mean you might put a lot of effort into a character just to find out that they don’t work. If you aren’t willing to take that risk, then I recommend just making a character without a devil fruit. Haki is not allowed in the beginning. The Six Powers are allowed, but your backstory needs to explain how your character learned whichever ones they have, and it should make sense. The Six Powers are marine based so some connection to the marines - and not an uncle of an uncle of an uncle - will be required.
This thread is open for people to ask more questions or start claiming roles on the ship. I will - obviously - be playing the Captain and you cannot claim the role of “First Mate.” Scarlet will appoint her own First Mate. If you claim a role and then do not make a character within one week of character creation opening (it’ll probably open before the end of 08/20/21 CST), the role will open back up for someone else to claim.
I can’t wait to hear from you guys!
