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.

Samson grabs the face of the opponent before bombarding them with a series of micro-explosions in his palm, rocking their senses wild and leaving them disoriented
Samson raises his pistol to his lips and blows a deep breath into the chamber before firing it at the opponent. The air shoots out as an invisible projectile and connects with the target with a bigger explosion!
Samson detonates his whole body at once! He claims the blast is so powerful, not even the bones of his opponents are left behind! The explosion can impact those surrounding him as well.
Samson rushes down the opponent before raising his arm and clotheslining them, detonating that whole side of his body at the same time, causing a huge explosion!
Samson Broadside is a large man, Standing 8 feet tall and weighing a massive 290 pounds. His body is well toned, with dark-skin, with short military-style cut hair and a long, black beard. His eyes are black with dark rings around them, his body covered in a brown vest, black pants and black leather boots. Samson keeps his old Marine-jacket on him at all times as a reminder of his past, draping it over his shoulder with the word "Marine" ex-ed out with black paint on the back. This old jacket is as well-kept as possible, considering the circumstances, though its as well-weathered as he is. Samson as a long scar along the side of his face, running from just below his right eye to down at the tip of his chin, a sign of... simpler days. Samson wears a pair of black-tinted glasses over his eyes.
Broadside keeps a long, thick-bladed cutlass hanging from his hip as well as a pistol tucked into his vest. His main weapons, however, are a pair of spiked knuckle-dusters he slips over his fists, adding more force and stopping power to his punches! When his Devil-Fruit is active, Samson is seen with light flames and smoke radiating off his body, signaling that he has become explosive.

Personality
Samson Broadside was once what the Marines considered to be a "Good Soldier." He was strong-willed with a firm sense of justice, looking out for those smaller and weaker than himself, even at his own personal detriment. He served the Marines faithfully for many years, earning the trust of the higher-ups with his efficiency and dedication to the common man. He's rugged, rough and isn't afraid to speak the truth, but is also attentive towards those in need. Whether its removing rubble from in front of someone's home or bringing food to hungry civilians, Broadside looks out for the common man.
One thing Broadside ISN'T, however, is merciful... which also got him far in his Marine career. Pirates that go around terrorizing towns are the last on his list to receive an easy knockout, the former Marine taking his time to REALLY DIG IN just what Justice meant to him. These scoundrels, after all, need to learn their lessons and he'd be damned on his honor as a Marine to let that lesson go unheeded. That being said, he's not the sort to mindlessly charge into a conflict. Broadside is something of a strategist, wanting to get his ducks in a row to ensure maximum punishment. Beit setting up traps beforehand or going in with a battle-plan, Broadside seeks to keep the odds in his favor as much as possible.
If there is one thing that Broadside resents more than marauding pirates, its the Marines as they stand today. He sees the institution as one of corruption and thinly-veiled hypocrisy, caring only for the people insofar as they can pay their taxes. That being said, he saves this resentment purely for the commanders, leaders of men, who must know enough to allow the corruption with each command they give. The soldiers he does his best to spare, knowing they are inundated with propaganda, but that doesn't mean he'll take it easy on them either!
Samson is a heavy smoker, keeping one or two cigars between his lips at all times. Should he run out of smokes, he's known to get quite irratable, attempting to replace his cigars with whatever he has on hand

History
Chief Petty Officer Samson Broadside was a good Marine. He did his job, ate his three meals, attended to his men and took orders well. It was his dedication, his determination to ensure that Justice ruled the seas rather than Pirates that ensured his elevation to that rank... and he knew it too well. His men looked up to him and he to his superiors, seeing them all as pieces in this big machine known as the Marines, a group dedicated to the protection and stability of organized society, people who put their lives on the line for the betterment of all. This was what the Marines told them they would be signing up for and Samson fought for it with all his soul.
...Until one day.
Samson was ordered by his commanding officer to burn down a village inhabited by pirates, a village of corruption to be sure... but one still filled with innocents! He hesitated... so long, in fact, that he was nearly put under reprimand for disobeying orders... but in the end, he complied. He and a platoon of marines open fired into the village before burning it to cinders. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but the memory of that day, those flames reflected in his shades... it still haunts him now. As he and his men sifted through the rubble, they found a small chest, one containing a devil-fruit! Upon bringing it back on board, the fruit was identified as the Bomu-Bomu no mi, a paramecia-type fruit which turned the one who ate it into living dynamite! This fruit was granted to Samson as a reward for his harrowing task, the then-young Samson eating it, thinking that this would allow him to forget what was done here today...
...And he was wrong.
Samson, only found, as he continued to grow in rank, that these acts would become more and more frequent, the atrocities committed by the Marines in search of easy, quick solutions. His own hands were stained in the ashes and blood of innocents, those he had signed up to save...
...And so he left.
In the night, he stole a small escape-boat and left the life of the Marines, tears rolling down his cheeks for both those he had slain... and the life he was now leaving behind. He spent the next handful of years trying his hand as a bounty-hunter, aiming to still do good in this world, if from a distance... before becoming, what he called, a "Free-Sailor"... a pirate by another name.
