Wealth, fame, power. The man who had acquired everything in this world, the pirate king, Gold Roger! These were the last words of Gold D. Roger, king of the pirates, as he was beheaded before a sea of onlookers.
“You want my treasure? You can have it. I left everything I gathered together in one piece. Now you just have to find it!”
His execution was supposed to herald the end of era. His end was to instill fear into the hearts of anyone dreaming to be pirate and roam the sea freely. Instead it brought on the golden age of piracy, most dreaming and scurrying the world for the treasure Gold D. Roger spoke of. Some just inspired by his drive and passion, knowing if they explored the sea as Roger did they would find their hopes and dreams somewhere there as well.
In any case though there are more pirates in the ocean then there are stars in the sky, no crew has found the legendary One Piece, Roger’s fabled treasure. Many have been stopped by the Marines, many pirates have been stopped by the hands and blades of their own, some are just stumped where it is. All anyone knows is that the One Piece lies at the end of the Grand Line, a hellish and wondrous strip of Ocean that encircles the middle of the world.
A part of the globe, the World Government guards jealously and draconically and will always do so. For the Grand Line is itself a treasure box in its own little way. Whatever a person could ever dream of lays there waiting for him to take it, if he has the skill and determination of course. Things considered rare and invaluable lay there, things to be impossible. Flowers bloom there that cure any disease, islands that hold supposedly extinct animals, pearls the size houses, and the true history of the world are just the tip of the iceberg.
But those are things the World Government, the organization that runs most of the world, doesn’t want that to happen. There are dreams that are permitted to happen, then those that aren’t. If someone looked around the Grand Line long enough, they would uncover secrets the World Government wants to stay secret. The truth if uncovered and exposed to the world would be more dangerous than any army or navy possibly raised against them.
Because of this the Marines where formed long ago. The right arm of the World Government; they are the ones who protect the World Government's interest both in the world at large and in the Grand Line in particular. They are the largest obstacle for any pirate, but they are an obstacle that must be overcome. The entrance into the Grand Line has been blocked by the Marines, leaving it almost impossible for any pirate to get into it.
Still this is the place where dreams are possible, a place where adventure awaits! [/sub][/blockquote] |
