Here´s the second part to the WoOP:Overview threads.

This time it´s about those who stand on top of the food chain as well as some details on the more important races in OP.


Sekai Seifu - World Government


Posted Image

It´s the coalition of over 170 countries and covers up most of the world. It´s an organization to uphold the world order and has a long history. Back then it was an alliance of the kings of the Twenty Kingdoms, who used their combined power to overthrow the Ancient Kingdom.
After that, they banned research on the Poneglyphs, which are stones that have the true history of the world carved into them in an ancient language and set their headquarters in Mariejois.
The twenty kings leading the war against the Ancient Kingdom later became the "creators", and the beginning of the World Government. Their descendants are the World Nobles, also known as the Celestial Dragons.

The World Government has especially set their eyes on pirates and the revolutionary army. to defend itself against these forces it has set up organisations such as the Marines, Cipher Pol as well as the 3 Great Powers.

The leaders of the WG are called the Gorosei - Five Elder Stars

Marines


They are what you´d call the poilce and the army of the WG. They hunt down pirates and rebels that oppose the them and fight in the name of justice. The word/kanji for justice is written at the back of their uniforms, that´s why they are unable to turn their back on an enemy, cause showing scoundrel like pirates their way of life is a shame worse than death.

Led by Gensui-Fleet Admiral Sengoku (right) and the Kaigun no Eiyu-Hero of the Marines Chujo-Vice Admiral Garp (left) who serve as the pillar and an idol for the younger Marines.

Posted Image

One of the 3 Great Powers is also part of the Marines, namely the 3 Admirals. Garp would´ve been a Taichou-Admiral a long time ago, but he turend down the promotion, because he wants to hunt down pirates instead of doing paperwork and serving as a pretty face for the marines. There are 3 Admirals:(from left to right)

Borsalino aka Kizaru - "Yellow Monkey"
Sakazuki aka Akainu - "Red Dog"
Kuzan aka Aokiji - "Blue Pheasant"

Posted Image

The World Government sends out Bounties for criminals from 50 belis (the currency in the OP World) to "open end" and for someone to get a bounty of over 100,000,000 belis, he has to have committed unlawful acts of catastrophic degrees.

Posted Image

The Marines are one of the few organizations who have the means to travel through the Calm Belt in the form of a triangle, meaning it´s a one way current to one of three destinations. Enies Lobby, an island where criminals are judged. Impel Down, an underwater prison for criminals with a high bounty and is generally referred to as hell. And the Marine Headquarters.


Cipher Pol


Cipher Pol is another organization working for the WG. Unlike the Marines, they only work behind the shadows. They specialize in inverstigation, infiltration and assasination. There are eight official Cipher Pols that are numbered from CP1 to CP8 with a single unofficial unit, which is named CP9. This Cipher Pol has the license to kill any citizen that does not cooperate with the World Government or acts contrary to the interests of the World Government.


Shichibukai - Seven Military Seas


The Shichibukai are another part of the 3 great powers is an organization of seven former pirates who now work for the World Government, though they do not care about or respect the Government and are often considered by the Marines to be no different from any other pirate. They are nicknamed "government dogs" and are despised by other pirates, but are still feared throught the pirate world.

The benefits of being a Shichibukai consist of being pardoned for their former actions and any existing bounties are rescinded.
They are no longer outlaws, thus they can make money through legitimate business, as well as bounty hunting. The government does not keep an eye on them and are granted a great deal of autonomy in how they operate. Other benefits include access to resources normally out of reach for normal citizens and moreso pirates.

The flip side is they "should" attend meetings with the marines...which most of them ignore, as well as be "on duty" all the time. If the WG calls, they have to serve them. Otherwise they are free to do whatever they want, as long as they don´t turn on the WG. These former pirates are:

Dracule Mihawk aka Taka no Me - Hawk Eyes also known as the strongest swordsmen. Former Bounty: Unkown.

Posted Image

Sir Crocodile aka Mr. 0, president of the evil organization Baroque Works. Former Bounty: 81,000,000 beli.

Posted Image

Gekko Moriah aka Master of Shadows and Thriller Bark. Former Bounty: 320,000,000 beli.

Posted Image

Bartholomew Kuma aka Bo-kun - Tyrant also a leading member of the revolutionary army. Former bounty: 296,000,000 beli.

Posted Image

Boa Hancock aka Hebihime - Snake Princess and Kaizoku Jotei - Pirate Princess of the Amazon Pirates (all females of course). Former bounty: 80,000,000 beli.(her first and last bounty)

Posted Image

Jinbe-Jimbe aka Kaikyoi-Knight of the Sea and former member of the Sun Pirates (Fishmen pirates). Former Bounty: 400,000,000[ beli.

Posted Image

Donquixote Doflamingo who has his hands in all kinds of dirty buisness especially human trade. Former Bounty: 340,000,000 beli.

Yonko - Four Emperors


The last part of the 3 great powers and rulers of the New World. They are keenly watched by the Marines, but are left alone, seeing as a war with them would result in a great loss for both sides. Their territories are untouched by marines and pirates alike. Those four are:

Edward Newgate aka Shirohige-Whitebeard is the strongest out of the four. He was Gol D. Rogers rival and is said to be the strongest man alive. He never really cared for the title of Pirate King or One Piece, his heart and eyes were allways set on another goal. Roger even wanted to tell him how to get to Raftel and obtain One Piece, but Newgate declined.

Posted Image

Akagami no Shankusu-Red Haired Shanks was once the rival of Mihawk and was said to be on par with Whitebeard, but he lost one arm in a certain incident involving Luffy when he was a child. Despite this, he´s still one of the most feared and respected pirates out there. He gave Luffy his Straw Hat and made a promise with him, that he´ll wait for him in the New World and that he should return it to him once he turned out to be a fine pirate.

Posted Image

The other two, namely Kaido and Charlotte Linlin aka Big Mum have yet to make their appearance in the manga/anime, seeing as they are only mentioned by name.


Revolutionary Army


Little is known about the Revolutionary Armies forces so far. What is known is that their movement is a threat to the stability of the world and that they aim to go against the World Government as well as what it stands for. They have yet to make a big move in the manga/anime, but it is mentioned that a lot of kingdoms follow the rebels. Part of them are personas like Bartholomew Kuma and Emprio Ivankov. Their leader is the most wanted man, Dragon.

Kyojin - Giants


Posted Image

Giants are, as the name suggest: Giant. In terms of size, they overshadow whole buildings. Most of the giants come from an island called Elbaf. They mostly look like vikings and share similiar beliefs, especially in regards of battle, death and honor. Though there are some occasions of giants being born on other islands, as well as different sizes, seeing as there are some that are four times the size of an allready bigger than usual giant.


Gyojin - Fishmen


Posted Image

They are half fish half human, thus able to breathe on land and underwater. They are stronger than humans on land and nearly undefeatable underwater thanks to their Gyojin Karate-Fishman Karate, which allows them to create underwater currents and throw some mighty powerful punches.
Even a drop of water thrown by a more powerfull fishman, can pierce a body like a bullet.
Despite all that, they are looked down upon by humans. They treat them like monsters and inferior creatures, hunting them down and holding them as slaves.

A brave fishman named Tiger freed all slaves (human and fishman) and created the Sun Pirates also known as the Fishman pirates. Thanks to to all that a lot of hatred was harbored and the Fishmen seeked revenge upon humans. The circle escaleted and nowadays Fishman are still looked down upon and there are still violent acts towards humans. Especially on the human trade market, Fishman and moreover Mermaids are viewed as valuable items.

Posted Image

Though fishman like Jinbe work towards peace and understanding between the races and the racism overall calmed down a bit (bitter said a lot).


Kai O Rui - Sea Kings

Posted Image


Sea Kings are oversized creatures of the sea. They usually nest in the Calm Belt, but go out hunting in the Grand Line and other seas on occasion. They are big enough to easily crush and eat a whole fleet of ships.

There´s a big variety of them, some are bizarre creatures some are fishes that are well known, like Sea King Dolphins, which once they jump, create a wave as high as a mountain and Sea King Goldfishes which´s dump floats on the surface of the ocean and is quite often mistaken to be an island.


Den Den Mushi - Tansponder Snails

Posted Image

They are snails with the ability to communicate with each other telepathically through radio waves. They are able to send everything they see to a station that collects this signal and projects it onto a visual device or repeat everything they hear from another Snail, even mimicking the emtions and faces of the person who talks to them, thus they function as security cameras or phones in the One Piece world.

As I´ve mentioned, there are different kinds of Transponder Snails, some serve as cameras (Surveillance Den Den Mushi and Visual Den Den Mushi), phones (Regular DDM), mobile phones (Baby DDM), Wiretaps (Black DDM), etc.

Though they have this great ability, they are just regular animals, meaning they still have their own will. They usually go along what the humans want them to do, as they get "paid" in the form of food, but if it´s too cold or they are treated badly, they´ll just go back into their snail house and ignore them. Also, if they come into conact with salt, they´ll dry out.
