What is One Piece?
Wealth. Fame. Power. There was a man who had sailed the world to discover everything there was to be offered throughout the countless islands separated by the Grand Line and the Red-Line.... The Pirate King -- Gol D. Roger. Before he was executed at the hands of the Marines, his last words spoke of the great treasure he left behind, the One Piece. Hundreds of thousands of eager pirates set sail, the desire to claim it for themselves had opened the curtain on a new, Grand Era of Piracy.
Though many met their end in these unforgiving waters, others would see their names enter the realm of infamy. Many Kingdoms throughout the islands and Marine forces of the World Government stood against them in opposition, but this too led to the recognition of the strongest pirates around as the Supernovas, Warlords and Emperors of the Sea.
Among the many newcomer pirates, nicknamed the Worst Generation, Strawhat Luffy and his crew would go on to turn the world upside down in pursuit of the One Piece, and all the secrets it held of the world's unspoken history.

Grand Crew:
Current Storyline
It's been Ten Years since the declaration of Monkey D. Luffy as the new Pirate King was heard world wide. Ever since then, a new generation of Pirates both young and old have taken to the seas in search of realizing their Dreams. This new, bright era to is just beginning turn the world on its head and the faces of the ruling generation to come have yet to be decided.
​
Even so, the systems of the World Government, Marines and Nobles still persist in the new age. Even though they're a shadow of their former self, don't be fooled. They're a force to be reckoned with as they try to rein in unruly, independent islands to bring them to justice.
​​
As for the Straw Hats? They themselves seemingly have disappeared -- and for now, the seas belong to the New Generation. Did you really think it couldn't get any worse than the "Worst Generation"?

The World's stage is now ready to welcome the Worst of the Worst.

Man-Made Islands?
Many secrets came to light when the One Piece was claimed. And yet many more remained to be uncovered about the void century -- a period of history wiped out by those in power. For every answer unveiled, a dozen questions arose.
One thing was sure, whoever discovered these secrets could turn the new Era in their favor.
​
Suddenly... promising invitations in a bottle were being delivered to Pirates near and far. Out in the New World, rumors of islands never seen or heard of before. Mechanized floating remnants of the Void Century that could contain secrets to a technology to rival the ancient weapons.
The one who sent the invitations, and your host was Weapons Baron of the Underworld, Bartolomew Spring, who would go on and announce the GRAND CREW - PIRATE FESTIVAL starting on the mysterious Icarous Island.
Although you all arrived in self-interest an unsteady truce was called to uncover the secrets held here. The spoils however, would go to those strong and ruthless enough to claim them for themselves...
A Void-Century Message:
Upon arriving at Icarous Island, Bartolomew Spring stumbled upon a once in a lifetime find that didn't exist anywhere else in the world, not even discovered by the past or present Pirate King...

A Black Poneglyph

After searching far and wide, he was able to find a translator for the following message, one that transcended time and the forgotten history of the Void Century:
To whoever finds this,
I am... Sealed away… Icarous island, a location that I’ve carved out from Seastone and dirt is a mechanism of my own invention, one.. if.. free can destroy anything in its sight, perhaps it can even blot out the accursed sun... I have left the keys… find them. If even one of these burning wings were ever allowed… I wait… to see if… any creature alive that can… wake what's within.
-Daedalus.
Man-Made Islands
These islands were crafted by Devil Fruit users and the advanced technologies from the Void Century alike, they hide many secrets within their territories -- including log-poses leading to more islands like them!
