After the war of the marine against Whitebeards crew in which Whitebeard himself died, after protecting whose he cares for, and the temporary disbandment of strawhat pirates, after the death of the captains brother, Ace, one would think that this brings an end to the era of pirates. But it wasn't true. Those who love the sea more than everything, those who are determined to reach their goals will never stop. Those with a determined will will brake free from the chains of fear and terror, wings of hope will sprout on their backs as they begin to soar through the sky of freedom. Among those people only few are of interest for us. This crew holds only eight members, but each of these members flies higher in the sky than the other. Everyone of them with their own dream. Fate brought them together and now they start their own journey. Lying ahead are hardships and misery, hapiness and friendship, burdens to bear and promises to hold. One promise is to never look back only forward into a bright future. Together they can accomplish things no one alone could, but will they find the One Piece, they so desperately search for? Will they break a part after only a few steps? Only fate knows.

Hello guys! This is the introduction of my fanfiction. I'm from Germany and english is my second language, so it will probably have more or less mistakes in grammar, syntax and expression. I'm still learning and this will hopefully help me. Please don't flame, constructive criticism is allowed and wished for. A bit short,huh? No. Because I need characters. Yes, it's up to you who the eight people will be. It's up to you what decisions they will make. First thing you do is to fill out the character profile below and send me it per mail. I will read it and tell you if it's okay. After accepting your character, it will be postet in this chapter as a character introduction. When the story starts you can send me mails with your ideas and every now and then I will ask questions in the authors note. You will answer them with a mail. In German something like this is called a "MitMachFanFiktion" (MMFF) . Multiple authors write together a story where one writes and the others help with the ideas and characters, but mainly with the characters.

Personality: A quiet and a bit of a shy guy, but he is nice. "Actions speaks louder then words." He does talk occasionally, but only if you are good friends with him. Yyui likes peace and relaxation, and doesn't really like to fight.

Past: Coming from a very old-fashioned and peaceful island, Yyui had a relaxed lifestyle. His mother Uuki (Yuki) and his father Orion worked at a popular tea shop in the island. However, when Yyui was 9 years old, Uuki came down with an incurable illness, dying several months later. She gave Yyui her bow and arrows, saying that arrows would only fly to their target if the archer believed they could. With this in mind, Yyui ventured out in the forests, hunting small animals with skill and precision. When Yyui was 15, the Navy ordered a Buster Call on the island, saying that the people there could be very dangerous. Orion secretly placed Yyui on a boat with a backpack and sent him off just as a nearby Marine shot him. Yyui had a grudge against Marines ever since. He traveled solo for awhile, upgrading his arrows and later was brought under the care of a veteran pirate who taught him to infuse Haki into the arrows to become stronger. Later When Yyui was 18, he left thanking the caretaker, and began to once more travel solo.

Skills: Archery, dodging attacks, accuracy, and speed/agility

Weapon: His bow and arrows, which cannot be easily broken at all. Some of the arrows he launches releases toxic, sleeping gas, stunning powder, and delusional gas. Some arrows release ropes, nets, steel traps, needles, and even scalding hot jets of water. His bow and arrows are unbreakable.
His arrows are all the same, made of pure silver and blue bird feathers. Only Yyui can tell which arrow is which by holding them. His bow is 2.5 cm wide, and several feet long. It is also silver and engraved in the middle is a detailed rose in honor of his mother.
Devil Fruit: none
Special Ability: His special attack is launching 50 arrows into the air all at once. Then the arrows multiple into 75, then hundred. Sometimes if Yyui can handle it, he''ll launch 200. Plus, he never seems to run out of arrows no matter how many he uses.
Fighting Style: Yyui refuses to fight his enemies, dodging attacks and playing defense, warning them that he doesn't want to fight at all. Finally, he slips into his strong mode, fighting, shooting arrows and such. For the final finish, Yyui shoots arrows into the enemies' chest and pierces the heart or some other vital part.

Past: Claire was raised by her aunt on a small farming island. She had never seen anything past her village until she became a pirate. Everyone on the island grew rice and peaches, and Claire loved to draw sketches of her few friends as they worked, but her aunt didn't like her hobby. While avoiding her aunt one day when she was supposed to be harvesting the rice, she met an old man who taught her how to cook, and told her about the many different fruits of the world that he had discovered when he was younger. Claire then spent most her days learning from the old man, and only when he was on his death bed did he reveal to her that he had been a pirate. A few years later, a horrible fire killed off most the village, including Claire's aunt and friends. Knowing that there was nothing left for her there, she set off to become a pirate and to complete a book with sketches of every fruit in the world.

Personality: Claire is usually happy and gets distracted easily, but she still knows when to be serious. She will try to become friends with anyone (or anything) even if they are the enemy, which sometimes ends up getting her into trouble. She doesn't know much about the world outside of her island, making her seem clueless, but she learns quickly and has a great memory. She isn't bothered by the idea of death or killing, but if fire is involved, she will not be able to move or do anything at all to help. She also is really great with advice and tends to help people without realizing it.

Skills:

Weapon: A black sword she got from the old man that taught her everything she knows, but she can also throw a good punch.
Devil Fruit: none
Special Ability: Superhuman strength, though it always surprises her.
Fighting Style: She fights silently, and usually isn't noticed. She uses her sword to strike her opponent in the stomach or neck, but if that fails, one good punch to the face usually finishes them off.
