At the end of the sea, where the known world ends, an island stands alone. An island of legends and myths, seen only by one man. Yet this sighting may be nothing but a rumour, for we have only the word of the man himself. The name of the King of the Pirates has been assured a place in the records, a place that can't be taken. The government of this world can destroy all trace of 800 years of twisted history, but they do not have the power to erase one man. Gol D. Roger is not someone that is easily forgotten.
With his death, the government unwittingly unleashed forces beyond their control. The Great Pirate Era began, hundreds and thousands of the greedy and power-hungry taking to the seas. But they were not the only ones.
Some want adventure. Others want glory. Some want the freedom of the waves. Others, as stated above, wish for the power of money. But few, a mere handful, dare to dream.
The race is on. Raftel is waiting. Who will find the One Piece? Who will be named the new Pirate King?
We can only wait and see.
