Well here you go, updated version of chapter 1

A New Pirate Crew Emerges - Chapter 1: My Idea


Well, I am updating this chapter to explain what is happening with the story.

For those of you new to this story, it is an OC Pirate Crew story. The captain and first mate are based on my friend and I. I asked for characters from my readers and all the characters that I plan to have in the crew have now been picked and are in the story.

For any of you who believe you have an amazing character that should be in the story, you can still submit that person to be a marine or an enemy the crew will face in the future. Obviously if this is what you want please send the character to me through a PM or email or else anyone who reads the reviews will know the future plot, and that's just not as much fun.

If you wish to see the crew so far, please check chapter 5, the Crew Bio Page. I update it every time a new crew member is added.

I realize that the first few chapters aren't the greatest, but please at least read some of the later chapters, as my writing and the fights get much better as the story goes on.

If you do wish to submit a marine or enemy character, please keep in mind a couple things.

1. Any Devil's Fruit must be approved by me (to make sure they don't belong to a future character or an existing character)

2. Please include a bio that describes the character's motivations, physique, fighting style, etc.

3. Characters cannot take the position of an existing character in the One Piece universe (i.e. You can't make a new Fleet Admiral or Admiral because those positions are already filled in the real One Piece Story)

4. Despite how long it takes me to release chapters, I have thought out what is going to happen in the story several chapters ahead of what's published, so if you want to submit a villain I will pretty much determine when he will appear (If you submit a character at chapter 14 don't expect him/her to be in the story chapter 15)

Thanks and please continue reading and reviewing so that I can get better.
