One Piece: Treasure Cruise is an Alternate Universe (AU) site where the straw hats and all the other famous pirates of the animanga do not exist.
The Time frame for the site is around the same time frame of the Animanga so the technology and such are on par with what is seen in the show though some advances can be made within reason of course.
There should be no mention of cannon characters as none of them exist and although there may be certain things that are similar to the animanga as this site is based off of it, the animanga is not considered cannon on this site.
Plot
Seventy years ago the three way war going on within the sky was still happening with high casualties on all sides. Because of this a truce was initiated. Each island would have its own independence away from rule of the other islands. The truce would hold so long as they stayed on their respective island and did not venture off into the territory of the other islands. Although there have been news about multiple Birkans, Shandians, or Skypieans dying while on one of the other islands the open, all-out fighting has stopped and a lot of the killing has been toned down. However, this has not stopped many sky islanders from leaving their home in search of a peaceful life down in the Blue Oceans not knowing that they were going from one multiple century long war to another.
Around sixty years ago the revolutionaries had a secret base within East Blue on Colors Island. The secret base there was becoming so successful due to the fact that none would suspect any trouble out of the weakest ocean in the world, so much so that they would be surprised to run into high ranking officials of the revolution there. This went on for about ten years until the World Government finally got wind of the location of the hideout. The fight was brought to the base and the leader of the revolution at the time stayed behind to fight off the attack giving his people time to escape. Due to the public execution of the leader of the revolution having hurt the recruiting process for a few years it was then that the revolution decided to work through a system of council so that there would never again be just one leader of the revolution but five one for each blue and one for the Grand Line as a whole. Forty years ago people began to move back to colors island and multiple towns and villages have sprang up there each named after a specific color.
In the present time the fighting has become less open warfare and more vying for islands and power. However fighting between the revolution and the World Government still persist because of this the World Government has increased taxes. This has caused unrest in many of the civilians and has bolstered the ranks of the revolution. However in a move that no one saw coming there have been several individuals who feel as if the revolution is just as bad as the World Government and have gone to sea on their own to live by their own code and to enjoy their freedom. These pirates have sparked the Golden Pirate Era which has also sparked an increase in bounty hunters which is a fine way to earn a living and pay those raised taxes without joining the marines revolutionaries or the pirates.

Blueprint is a premade Proboards v5 theme designed and built by punki of Adoxography and Pixel Perfect. Treasure Cruise is the work of the mind of The Problem. All characters and content are copyright their creators, and may not be replicated without their creators' permission. All images belong to their original owners.
The Sharkbane crew aspires to live free of the shackles of the any organization and its corruption. They seek new adventures and treasures to loot (only from those who are deserving). John intends to go across the Grand Line and eventually to the New World.[break][break]
There are, of course, other goals that John wishes to achieve. A major one being to disrupt the Slave Trade and free any enslaved people he and his crew happen across. John believes in a diverse world that lives in harmony. He won't think twice before offering members of different races to become a part of his family. And, one day, he will create an island nation for people of all kinds to live.
Hierarchy
John is the Captain of the ship. And yet he is a pirate who values the input of all members that travel with him. He will consider alternative options and advice offered by his crewmates. John is a true leader who works with his crew members rather than one who orders them around from a position of power. [break]
Ideology
Being a pirate does not make one a savage sea raider who terrorizes the coasts and the governments of the world. In John's mind, a pirate is someone who lives free and does not answer to the World Government, Revolutionaries, or the Celestial Dragons. John Davis can be best described as Chaotic Good. Even as a pirate he wishes to do the right thing. John will never hesitate to help a person in need, even if it is his own enemy.[break]
